Excellent choice, yes! Especially since the shop doesn't exist any more in the present; take that opportunity while you have it!:D
Hee! *hearts*
Since we've been talking about realms - descended from where? I'd normally assume from the Heavenly Realm, but all the gods seem to be running around in the Mortal Realm anyway ...
EXCELLENT QUESTION!! Maybe there’s an afterlife for gods that isn’t the Netherworld OR the Heavens??
(I'm so glad the drama changed that completely, and had ZYL actually be good for YOHE!SW.)
Yesss! Helped him open up instead of shutting him down. MUCH better.
Come on, Kunlun! Take it in the spirit it's given!
I mean, though, can he help his first reaction? I don’t think he has that much control over his emotions (when have gods ever needed any?).
But honestly, I find Kunlun so inconsistent in his behaviour towards Xiao-Wei, he's veering wildly from judgmental and patronising to teasing to earnest and generous. It's giving me whiplash, it's a wonder Xiao-Wei isn't even more confused by everything! (If it actually did happen like that, which I assume it did.)
It’s so hard to tell if it did. And it’s such a different vibe from the Divine Tree vision. ;-p
Thanks for the meta link! I’m not going to read it (because spoilers, yes, even though I’ve read the novel before /dork), but hopefully will remember to revisit it once we’re done.
And here's the source for the tea shop encounter between SW and ZXC in the drama, right?
I’m so happy it’s here! I have a lot of feelings about that scene and Shen Wei caught between his diplomat and son-in-law roles. :D
Alas, this is exactly my problem with the novel: I don't know what's true, and so anything and everything is suspect, which makes it harder to engage with anything.
Yeah, agreed! I’m reading everything through a haze of sceptism, and it does make it hard to know how to feel about any of it.
This resulted in forming a basketball team of meerkats.

Thanks as always for the version comparison!!
