Here's wishing much success to the two leads in their professional and private lives!! I can't get enough of seeing them together. Bravo! The actor who portrayed the 'ultimate villain and mastermind' behind the plot deserved his own shout-out.his acting was at once convincing yet heartrending! The emotions in which his portrayal evoked literally gave me a vertigo spin.

I actually really appreciated the fact that, due to censorship or not, the production portrayed this aspect of BL so subtlety and poetically, unlike the in-your-face presentations that would leave nothing to the imagination.

Rematching and looking for these clues were Eureka! moments for me. The longing gazes, the tortured internal conflicts, the array of emotions unspoken but seen through the slightest smile or nod or simple act.these little crumbs spoke volumes if you understand what's going on. Five minutes later, Bai Lu’s assistant left alone, leaving Bai Lu and Zhang Linghe to spend the night together until the next day. Then after reading reviews and other info, I had to go back and rewatch episodes to pick up on what really was happening. According to exposure, Bai Lu went to actor Zhang Ling He’s house with his assistant at 8:30 pm on the night of September 8 after attending a banquet to celebrate the completion of her new drama. I initially interpreted it simply as brotherhood love, strong friendship and bonding between soulmates (not in the romantic sense) that has been written in so many wuxia novels that came before this one. The BL arc didn't hit me until I did my research. What held it together and won me over was the ever so strong chemistry between the two leads, supported by a very talented supporting cast. The various plot lines held no big secrets-predictable and routine for a xianxia story with often long drawn scenes which didn't make sense nor push the plot through. I won't go into the story as so many others have already done so. I haven't read the novel nor seen the anime version, so there were no expectations going in.

Fifty episodes later, I'm still obsessing over not only the two lead characters but also the actors who embodied them. At first, I almost gave up after the first few episodes, but I'm so glad I gave this series a chance.
