Fresh Morning in a Broken World

When Destiny Brings the Demon/offering salted fish to master is such an indulgent promax novel... I'm halfway through and it might set up a legit conflict later but for now it's such a chill narrative and honestly I won't mind if it remains chill to that extent lol.

I find that the makers haven't put enough emphasis on why Xihe wants to protect the northwest so much (the emperor constantly and proactively guards against them, almost to the point of seeking any reason to destroy them over the years) and that kind of weakens her character on the show. Not displaying her almost desperate reasoning for being so calculative, she just comes off as cold and cruel unnecessarily.

The little deer in her heart went pitter-patter. But Sima Jiao said: “In a while, Gengchen Immortal Mansion will be very lively. I’ll take you to see the liveliest moment in Gengchen Immortal Mansion’s tens of thousands of years.” He said this with a smile—a very frightening smile. It was related to the major events he had been orchestrating recently. Liao Tingyan: “…” The little deer went splat and died.
