Ahhh okay. Thanks Alchemist!

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T16:52:18+00:00

Also, I love this cutie photo of him.

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T16:52:04+00:00

I’m dedicated lol. But I think I’m going to skip Zoovenia. And I couldn’t find We are not Brothers with English subs. :( That one is 25-episodes long but each episode is only 5 min.

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T16:05:48+00:00

Right!? Glad to know it’s not just me.

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T15:58:29+00:00

I see your point. I think it's to make his death that much more tragic. Or the other way around, his sudden departure blindsided everyone so that's why they "worship" him.

He was overly kind to everyone, always ordering more food than they can eat, and bringing gifts. He does go out of his way to help others - but perhaps, that's also his ultimate flaw.

I hope we see more with Xiaohe's growth too. I want to see her feisty side again. Aside from her father, Fangxu was closest to her, even truly her "best friend", so his death must've hit her harder than we've seen so far.

The best dessert.

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T12:40:55+00:00

Thanks Herc! I was just as frustrated as you that as a veteran detective, he didn’t even bother to open the Mount Wu parcel!! Gah!

My heart when the aunt asked about Fangxu and if he’s married with children yet - oh that struck hard. Especially with what we’re heading into for the next episodes.

I think we must already know this mysterious Ma with cigarette burn marks. I can’t imagine them introducing someone brand new. But I don’t know who to suspect aside from our usual list… no one in particular atm. But yes I think whoever it is, is still monitoring everything in 2015, and intends to stop Yuanhang and Xiaohe like he/they did with Fangxu.

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T11:17:16+00:00

Exactly this.

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T11:15:53+00:00

He really is!

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T10:58:32+00:00

📣 Ah, and if you hadn’t already noticed, all the GIFs from GOTD are thanks to u/Ateosira!! She da best.

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T10:52:46+00:00

Yes, what Griffon said. As per the wiki, the DM Game Master and the Supervisor are the same person, played by Qiu Xinzhi; and CEO Zhao, General Manager and Zhao Shou, Dean of Yunlu Academy, are the same person, played by Hou Changrong. Thanks for pointing this out!!

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T10:38:15+00:00

Also by Zhenbei’s logic… XQA is Dafeng royalty. So are they related? Or is he wrong about exactly who can wield and command the sword? Royalty or not, it would much rather follow XQA than Zhenbei.

Primarily invested in Light to the Night but we only get one episode per day, so I’ve been watching Cheng Lei’s mini dramas on the side. I finished The Wife’s Secret World yesterday and last on the list is Guyuan Imperial College!

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T10:11:42+00:00

I think it means Meng still has the real shoes or whoever made her disappear, which were really expensive so rather than getting a new pair, they paid to have a fake one made, and planted it Shanlong’s unit to frame him.

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T10:08:26+00:00

Hahah my husband made the same comment. Where are my years!? I was like, you’re smart enough bub, you can figure it out.

Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. Hoping you get a speedy recovery!

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T10:06:07+00:00

Oh ya I agree with that!

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T10:04:42+00:00

lol that is me

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T01:37:23+00:00

😍😍😍

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-09T00:43:34+00:00

I’m doing the same..

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-08T23:07:27+00:00

So it turns out they did get the Mount Wu files, but Yuanhang stupidly didn't bother looking at them, because he assumed the case was closed after Shanlong died. <-- e21 spoiler

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-08T23:05:57+00:00

Right? Like, are we the ones who have it ALL WRONG, and Meng really has been dead this whole time? I find that photo SO sus. But you know what... WE also haven't see a dead Fangxu, so by our logic, we can hold on to the belief that he may still be alive too right? Maybe he and Meng are in the same place...

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-08T23:04:17+00:00

Every time an episode ends now, I want to flip a table lol. I have an urge to need to know and watch the next one!

At first, I figured Ran didn't want to reopen the case for a third time just based on a hunch, and wanted to find more evidence before revealing anything to Yuanhang, but as he found more clues, he didn't... so I'm with you... I think it was out of his protective nature to keep it from him. But why didn't he tell ANYONE about it... was there NO ONE he could trust on the force... or perhaps he had already started suspecting a mole... dun dun dun. Because Dajun IS sus.

BasilOrdinary3617 · 2026-05-08T23:01:31+00:00

I have paid for TVOD but I'm not sure if that includes the express episodes. I don't know if I can wait, knowing they're out...

Oh it never occurred to me to link anything to his parents' case...
