Then, the mutated female protagonist turned around and walked towards the male protagonist, her red light still flashing continuously.
The food in Little C's mouth fell into the bowl. This...this...the plot changed too fast!
She thought they would have to film at least one more episode of their playful daily interactions!
The current plot has indeed piqued her interest. The ending theme song started playing at an inopportune moment, and Little C pouted and immediately clicked the play button for the next episode.
Skipping the opening credits, there are no nauseating scenes of half an episode's worth of recaps in a single episode. Tense music starts playing, and the plot continues from the previous episode. The male lead takes a few steps back, looking at the female lead who is closing in on him with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
Just as the female lead was about to meet the male lead, a person came out of the woods. The camera first focused on the hem of his white robe, next to which was a sword.
As the male protagonist's gaze moves upward, the camera gradually pans up to reveal a handsome face. The swordsman raises a hand and strikes the female protagonist on the back of the neck. A flash of red light appears in her eyes, and she collapses.
The newcomer was a disciple of the Xiangyang Sect. Most disciples of the Xiangyang Sect chose to practice swordsmanship and wore white robes. Therefore, the two distinctive pieces of equipment shown in the initial shot already indicated his identity.
He introduced himself as someone who was traveling and happened to meet the male lead. After learning that both the male and female leads wanted to become disciples at Xiangyang Gate, the disciple offered to take them there.
Upon seeing this, Little C finally realized that she hadn't finished eating! It was already cold!
Little C went to the kitchen to reheat the cold rice and muttered to herself, "I didn't expect this TV series to be so good."
Xiao C wasn't the only one to express this sentiment. On the first day of its premiere, "The Path to Immortality" released three episodes at once, with the third episode only available to members.
These three episodes vividly demonstrate the fast pace of "The Path to Immortality". In the second episode, the male and female leads are taken to Xiangyang Gate, where the female lead is diagnosed by the elders as being affected by the demon bloodline. The third episode is the disciple-acceptance ceremony, where Jiang Yixing's character, the senior sister, makes her appearance.
What's most surprising is that this drama is different from previous ones. In the past, the male and female leads would keep a huge secret to themselves, not daring to tell anyone, and then wait until it was exposed, causing everyone to see them as outcasts and abandon them.
However, the drama "The Path to Immortality" is different. Although it portrays the deep hatred between humans and demons from the very beginning, no one criticizes the female lead's demon bloodline. Instead, everyone is very friendly to her.
This also subtly reveals the overall quality of Xiangyang Sect, which is something the screenwriter has focused on portraying. It also foreshadows the later appearance of the eldest sister. The eldest sister is as radiant as the sun, seemingly without any flaws or gloom, and the entire Xiangyang Sect is the same, living entirely under the sun.
Such a character is truly remarkable in today's TV dramas where everything revolves around conspiracy theories.
Office workers have worked hard all day, and students have studied hard all day, but when they turn on the TV, they see nothing but conspiracies and schemes, stories of harming others and committing suicide. It's really hard to feel good about that.
The novel "The Path to Immortality" is a refreshing and enjoyable story. Its depiction of a world free from intrigue and scheming soothes the weary souls of readers, making them want to watch one episode after another, and even bringing a rare smile to their faces while watching.
Has anyone watched that new drama?
"Which one? Which one??"
"Oh! It's that novel, 'The Path to Immortality,' which features Jiang Yixing, Jin Qiao, and Wu Wei."
"I watched it! The plot is surprisingly smooth!"
"Yes, I don't know why, but I found it very enjoyable to watch and wanted to keep watching."
"Seriously!!! Several episodes have aired already, and I'm so anxious at work, I really want to know what happens next!"
"Waaaaah, the male lead's sect in this drama is just too amazing! It's exactly the kind of sect that transcends worldly concerns that I've always dreamed of!"
"Yes, yes, everyone is doing well!"
"Have you guys watched the latest episode? Lian Ziqing and Linglong are such a perfect couple!"
"Lian Ziqing is just a weakling, hahaha, not as brave as my Linglong."
"This kind of strong woman/weak man couple is surprisingly sweet!"
"The main problem is that my daughter Linglong isn't exactly tough in the conventional sense. She's a typical naive and innocent girl, but I never expected her to have a physique that can kill a monster with one punch. The funniest thing is that she's unconsciously dumbfounded!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Hahahahahahahaha!"
"Lian Ziqing's character is also very charming! Although he started learning swordsmanship relatively late, the title of 'young genius' is well-deserved. The way he thinks seriously is just too cool!"
"Yeah, my Ziqing is the most handsome. Except for Senior Sister."
"My favorite is my Linglong, besides my senior sister."
"Except for the eldest sister, hahahahahahahaha!"
"Who wouldn't love Senior Sister???"
"Nobody's here!!!"
The senior sister who garnered unanimous praise from drama fans is naturally Yin Mengran, played by Jiang Yixing.
It has to be said that Yin Mengran's character is really good. She is extremely powerful, yet approachable. She can chat smoothly and freely with every fellow cultivator in the sect, from the gatekeepers to the sect leaders and elders. Everyone likes Yin Mengran.
As a genius in the eyes of everyone in Xiangyang Sect, Yin Mengran naturally had a lot of interactions with the male protagonist, a disciple with the title of "little genius." In addition, the two were under the same master and were direct disciples of the sect, so they had a good relationship.
Without any male or female lead fans worrying about competing for the lead role, Yin Mengran fulfilled her responsibilities as a senior sister very well.
While her irresponsible master skipped class to drink, Yin Mengran personally taught her junior brothers martial arts. When her junior brothers and sisters were in danger, Yin Mengran arrived at the perfect moment to rescue them.
Even when the male and female leads have minor conflicts, Yin Mengran can act as a catalyst between them, providing excellent support for their love.
Who wouldn't like a character like that?
The reason why the character Yin Mengran became so popular is because Jiang Yixing truly captured Yin Mengran's charm.
Such a perfect character, if not handled well, can easily become hypocritical and deceitful, or make people wonder if there are foreshadowing elements planted on purpose, and that the real identity is actually the big boss in the show.
However, Jiang Yixing's performance does not give the audience such a misconception at all.
Jiang Yixing's bright and elegant appearance adds a lot of color to this role. Her portrayal of Yin Mengran is just right in terms of kindness and gentleness, and her strong confidence, which comes from her strength, is evident from the inside out.
Every appearance of Yin Mengran amazes the audience, who realize that there really are people in the world who are as dazzling as the sun.
