NIRANPETE GAYYY

From the very first episode to the very last, this series delivered an amazing and captivating story. The performances from the entire cast were absolutely phenomenal, especially Sky and Nani. Their chemistry was truly incredible, and I enjoyed every single episode—it never felt boring for a moment.There were so many scenes filled with deep meaning, and most importantly, the moments between the two main characters, Sky as Niran and Nani as Pete. You can't convince me that they weren't in love with each other. Just watch every episode—they were seriously SOOOOO GAAAAYYYYY.I can't wait for their next series together. I'm going to miss them so much. Thank you once again for giving us such an absolutely outstanding series.

5/5 for trust-shattering demon lord who learned his lesson

Betrayal is betrayal, but who lost more in the end? Xiuyuan disregarded female lead’s bond with Riyan The Ninetailed Fox, desperately wanting to save his dear brother. Perhaps the big bad guy convinced him of fox’s cunning and Lifei’s safety, or maybe sensible Xiuyuan just realized it was hopeless and tried to gambit. Regardless, he betrayed her trust, and he was the one to lose the most in the end (while punishing the big bad with a flick of his awakened fingers). Xiuyuan fully understands the value of the trust he lost. He is determined to make amends, but although Lifei still has lingering attachments and understands his inner turmoil leading to that poor decision, she develops trust issues and sticks to the lessons of her cautious shifu. So where does Xiuyuan even start? Surely new plot points would present an opportunity for our confused demon lord Yecha. He can’t let go of Lifei, and the repeating visions of the past don’t let go of him.

4/5 for never smiling grumpy cat Xiuyuan

We’ve had some intense episodes, so this one will release some tension. Some trivial love matters of secondary characters (writers love love triangles, don’t they?) The main characters keep on giving sweets, but this is where it gets a bit darker when our grumpy cat Xiuyuan can’t bring himself to smile even when he desperately needs it to escape from the demands of a slightly drunk female lead. This is such a great way of showing his inner turmoil. Everyone is carefree and young, while his big brother is suffering, and he can’t help it without hurting the people he finally started to care about. As is to be expected, this leads to a tragedy and wrong decisions being made… Can Lifei save him again, but this time from himself?..

5/5 for strange… culmination?

All the buildup from the previous episodes was for this moment of… failure? Our friends face off their first serious threat, and Xiuyuan gets himself beaten badly for Lifei’s sake (as per usual, haha). This all happens only in passing, and the students are practically left alone with the consequences. Only Lifei’s secret can save male lead, but she has no idea what! Seems like she will be the last to realize what she really is, while her love-struck friends seem to be grasping the idea pretty quickly. Would they want to use it for their advantage and disregard her best interest? We’ve yet to figure out. Also quite a sweet development between the main leads in this episode, facing life and death together Lifei finally shows true care for Xiuyuan. He’s falling hard!

Justice well served

Oh, what a delightful episode! I got to see the Fifth Princess get humiliated and fall—and fall hard, for that matter. She got to eat her own arrogance in the worst way possible. Thank you, Buyi, for delivering this justice! 👏 Thank you, Shaoshang, for contributing to it too! 👏The trio watching and drinking tea while that officer got whipped was pure entertainment—Yuan Shen's sarcasm, the Fifth Prince's relief at not being the one getting punished and just sticking with the tough guys, and Buyi, of course, with his scary calmness, yet piercing gaze. 🤣😏I am kind of frustrated to see Shaoshang and Buyi argue—however, that's not quite the right word—about how they feel and whether she trusts him or not. This conversation has become very repetitive. I get it, it has to happen over and over again, with every subsequent time serving as a step closer to them finding common ground. However, these arguments and misunderstandings exhaust me. I much prefer them flirty, trusting, calculating, shrewd, and avenging! 😩😒🙄
