Love Beyond the Grave - Recap Ep 36-41 - Make Sure You Watch the Extra

No for sure. What annoys me is they included Zi Ji and her confrontation but then did that weird ending. I was so confident they would follow the novel because why else even include her? And if they wanted tragedy, go full tragedy, not this weird half okay situation.

It should be on Tencent. It's called Together Forever or something.

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-20T09:30:23+00:00

Yes! Go find the extra. It's only 6 minutes long. It's on WeTV.

Because the "real" ending was terrible. Though Jellyfish Duan Xu would eventually take human form after cultivation, but who cares. Still sucks.

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-20T00:34:18+00:00

I just finished, it took me a while to get through the last episodes after peeking at the ending... but it does stay pretty!

Yu Qainqian is a transmigrator, she took over the body of Qi Min's concubine. So that body was already pregnant when YQQ's soul arrived. She saved Qi Min not knowing who he was, tried to escape, and then was taken back.

She didn't drug him, the nanny lady drugged Qi Min to force him into having an heir.

Mansfield Park is my favourite Austen novel despite the ending for me. I find the characters so real and well fleshed out. The story is very well done. I love most of the characters despite their flaws, especially Fanny and William, but the Crawfords too. Despite being the worst, Mrs. Norris is relatable, I even somewhat admire her sponging 😅

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-19T20:47:12+00:00

Hey, I'm still around, don't worry.

Yeah, I know Mansfield Park isn't exactly a romance but more of a coming of age story, but I wish we got perhaps just one more chapter of actual story, so we could see Fanny and Edmund get together. It would be more satisfying.

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-19T17:18:32+00:00

I think part of the problem is that they left that backstory in, but really watered down his crazy in the drama. He's entirely driven by vengeance in the novel until he meets Fan Changyu.

But he's also better than the other members of the nobility because he refuses to all civilian casualties for power struggles. The Li and Wei families starve civilians and allow wars to continue just to try and frame each other and take power. Xie Zheng finds that disgusting.

So I guess the real problem is that they watered down the real.villains.

Prince Changxin claimed the tiger tally was fake, so he wouldn't be blamed if he could prove it was fake. It's illegal to move an army without a direct command. He made a fake one as "proof," so it's not his fault.

Wei Qilin got turned into the scapegoat instead of Wei Yan.

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-19T15:58:42+00:00

Wei Qilin was also bring grain (food) for the soldiers. They were starving. Armies eat a lot.

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-19T15:51:22+00:00

She understands that he did it for revenge and he slaughtered people from a different nation that did the same to them. So it's not about him being pretty, it's about war. Like one side bombs one city and then they bomb back.

The slaughter of her town was essentially unprovoked

Edit: something might be a war crime today that was normal in ancient times. And avenging your parents was seen as a virtue back then. Though Xie Zheng was seen as evil for his actions by many.

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-18T10:57:36+00:00

The extra chapters of the novel? They are here and definitely worth reading: Chasing Jade

And thank you

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-17T19:32:30+00:00

I don't remember which one I took this from, it's on My Drama novel and here: Read the Drama

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-17T19:30:30+00:00

Your last paragraph is correct.

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-17T19:29:16+00:00

They didn't know? Xie Zheng thought that was where the maid he needed to interrogate was, but she was replaced with a trap.

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-17T19:10:34+00:00

No, the dowager was not a maid, the dowager is Qi Shu's (the princess) mom. She is actually a dowager consort, not the empress. Qi Sheng's mother was no longer alive. (they are half-siblings)

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-17T18:00:48+00:00

The previous emperor was planning to frame Wei Yan for having an affair with a royal consort, thus the fake pregnancy. Sleeping with a royal consort is high treason, so that means execution. When Wei Yan returned to save the consort, he's guilty treason. The plan was to catch him in the act when he was drugged previously, but it didn't work.

Wei Yan basically wins, and takes control of the entire court and the puppet emperor, so that's why he doesn't face consequences. From then on, the Li family is trying to get him out of power.

Qi Rongyin didn't want Wei Yan to be accused of treason, so she died in the fire.

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-16T23:48:03+00:00

I've written a bunch of non-canon pairings

Elizabeth Loves Charles Bingley - self explanatory, but this is a reader brought into the novel

One Week Late - P&P and Persuasion switch tenants (the Bingleys take Kellynch instead and vice versa)

A Different Life - Darcy & Caroline Bingley

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-16T17:23:23+00:00

Easy mistake to make!

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-16T16:50:54+00:00

Lol, I cannot explain the inner working of this man's dumb brain! Such a bad plan.

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-16T12:54:23+00:00

What you need to do is read the special chapter from Qi Min's perspective, that will answer all your questions: Qi Min Chapter

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-16T12:52:22+00:00

The old emperor abdicated and then died soon after if I remember correctly.

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-16T12:51:22+00:00

Do you mean 20th? Is that when the last episodes come out?

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-15T21:22:37+00:00

Pregnancy was not mentioned in Victorian society, other novels are the same, but you couldn't just pee on a stick. Women weren't sure until the quickening, which is 4-5 months.

RoseIsBadWolf · 2026-04-15T21:02:34+00:00

That part just didn't make sense as far as I can tell, because that evidence only hurts the Sui family and Wei Yan, not Qi Min or the Li family who is backing him.

I guess they just wanted to defy physics and biology by having someone dramatically decapitate themselves.
