Episode 1 let’s go!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Fam the production in this donghua is sick asf. 🔥🔥🔥
Especially knowing that it’s the studio who has done Eclipse of illusion who is doing this donghua too. 💪💪
Yeah, their animation is already showing in this 1st episode. 🔥🔥🔥
yep i said yesterday
I know. 🤷♂️😅
I’m definitely getting a lot of BL vibes from this donghua. What’s the novel name?
I can’t remember the last official BL that aired. We got a few GLs these last two seasons.
We gone from girl love to boy love on a saturday haha
For the girl love i don’t know, but for the boy love, yeah this donghua seems to be a ” BL ” atleast the novel is a boys love story, so we will see, if they censure that or not. 😅🤷♂️
So they aren’t just queerbaiting us. Def felt the baiting in Eclipse of Illusion. Was the source of that one GL story, too?
ikr? loved eclipse of illusion now this one too
What a beginning, so that’s how they met. Basically Ice bro was minding his own business cultivating in the middle of a snowy field and other MC just happens to be there messing it all up cause he was able to walk through his formation and destroying it, that’s why they got attacked. 😅😅😅 I already see it we got a determined/joker and serious type MC in this story from the looks of it. 🤔🤔🤔
The opening was throwing me off. Because they both had white hair, I couldn’t tell who was who.
I mean at the end of the episode it was explained who he is and why he dyed his hair fam.
Yeah, but I’m so used to the openings spoiling everything. Or at least piece together fragments of the plot.
Bro are you guys AI?, How the hell y’all watched every single donghua
Boop
The Great-wilderness!? Like, the one in ‘Tales of Herding the Gods’? 😲
Then again, it’s kinda on almost every show 😆
Umm, is it just me, or does it kinda give gei vibes for everyone? Like, Mc and tha White-haired-dude? 😵💫
Is Saturday like reserved for gei Donghua or smtn that I don’t know of? Cuz it was ‘Eclipse of Illusion’ before, now this. Tho I’m only speculating about it for now 🧐
Xin-brother, the subs for the Next-ep-preview are a lil messed up, it’s in the Outro. Not super important, just wanted to let you know 😗
Marvelous animation! Handsome Mc! Plots intriguing! 🤩 🔥
Fun fact, the studio doing this donghua is the same that did the donghua Eclipse of illusion.
Oooo!! 🤩
We’d better get just as many outfit changes in this one, too.
Truue~ 😂
the animation is just top level 🔥🔥
Yeaaa!! 🔥
Why does he have the dragon nails in him again? I got overloaded with info and couldn’t digest everything. I’ll definitely have to rewatch before ep 2.
I think that most heirs to the throne have the dragon nails in them, it’s a way to control them and to force them to protect their ” kingdom ” atleast that’s what i understood.
You know how parents tell their children not to put everything they see in their mouths? Well.. you can figure the rest out 😂
This has the same BL vibe as Mo Dao Zu Shi… And this studio really likes to animate stories with hatred/revenge… Thinking back, eclipse of illusion was kind of GL…
The novel is a BL story. 🤷♂️
yep eclipse of illusuion was totally a gl and now this is a bl woohoo
Mo Dao Zu Shi is BL, though.
mc looks like shi hao.
They would make an awesome team.
gai
Ngl animation is dope ,hope the main story will be good and on point without harem,repetitive encounters and other things that doesn t make sense with the story line
Dood all subs without subtitles
Bit confusing and gay but great animation.
Can someone enlighten me is this gayish donghua
😯
The series is based on the novel 《山海经密码》 (The Cipher of Shanhaijing):The Classic of Mountains and Seas by 阿菩 (A Pu), which was originally titled 《桐宫之囚》 (The Prisoner of Tong Palace). Drawing from the Records of the Grand Historian, it reimagines the historical exile of King Tai Jia by the minister Yi Yin, blending it with the mythological geography of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the cosmology of Heavenly Questions. No official English translation exists.
Set during the transition from the Xia Dynasty to the Shang Dynasty, the story centers on large-scale warfare, tribal conflict, political struggle, and military strategy. It emphasizes themes of brotherhood, loyalty, and survival amid chaos. Because the story prioritizes the deep emotional bond and unwavering loyalty between the male leads, Youshen Bu-po and Jiang Li, over traditional romance. So some see it as BL
The two are childhood friends who were separated due to special circumstances. Youshen Bu-po belongs to the Shang, while Jiang Li is tied to the Xia. As these two powers are enemies, their bond is tested by political gravity: Youshen Bu-po is the Crown Prince of the Shang, and is destined to become Emperor Tai Jia of shang dynast. Given their positions on opposing sides of a dynastic war, one can guess their story follows.
The novel is not officially BL, it focuses heavily on the relationship between these two friends. Although Youshen Bu-po does have a wife, Luo Ling, she is not the main focus. Romance remains a secondary element compared to the core themes of warfare, tribal conflict, and political upheaval. It mixed up real and fiction story Emperor Taijia of the Shang Dynasty was a real person, and in the story he is portrayed as You Shen Bupo. The story focuses on his experiences before ascending the throne, blending real history with fictional elements.
THANKS TIME TO PASS THIS SH*
good start, art work, pacing and character are bringing it to life
Liking this one enough to keep it
Story looks great, but I’m man who don’t like tow watch bl and gayish stuff, so I’ll this
ah what a shame i don’t like BL even though the story and graphics are good
This donghua is perfect for this generation: the protagonist is a selfish, entitled brat who doesn’t deserve to sit on a throne because he cannot see anything greater than his own feelings. Sacrificing for the greater good is the duty of noble heroes, and to glorify someone who thinks this is wrong is a story really not for me. My 2¢
Ayo, not another Eclipse of Illusion? All slo-mo and music video shots. Nice to look at, but empty inside, story wise. Why do I need a slo-mo shot of a bull’s hoof pulling a wagon? Why is there a full song playing a few minutes in? What are those ghost horses about? See what I mean? All flash, little substance/world building/lore establishment. Again. Oh, well.
Thank God for the comments. Almsot wasted my time with BL garbage.
what the fuk its gay story
bruh honestly i am okay with GL story but BL hell no even if they provide great animation i am not buying this shit…
and thanks for the comments everyone.
