Okay so, just out of curiosity, I went searching for the synopsis on BaiDu

(https://baike.baidu.com/item/三生三世枕上书/15821930?fr=aladdin) <--how reliable is this??

Not too sure how accurate this is, but was just curious how different the Chinese synopsis would be

Disclaimer: I can not read Chinese so just slid this into Google translate (completely raw from Google translate)

 

Qingqiu Emperor Ji Baifeng Jiu ( Dili Reba ) was attacked by a monster when he was practicing in the mountains. The moment of crisis was saved by the passing Donghua Emperor ( Gao Weiguang ) , and he was remembered in mind. In order to report to Enfeng Jiu, he insisted on following Donghua and fighting in the chaos of the world. In the relationship, she found that her feelings of resentment have turned into love. However, in the struggle between thousands of years and evil, Donghua has forgotten the word "love". In order to protect the safety of Fengjiu, Donghua sent her to the world, but unfortunately made friends die to protect her. In order to find the fairy fruit that can be resurrected in the legend, Feng Jiu entered the dreamland of the winged Princess Alanjo and relived the life of Alanjo. After arduous efforts to rescue Feng Jiu, Donghua found that she had fallen in love with her. The two were preparing to become relatives, but Donghua missed the wedding banquet in order to save Princess Ji (Liu Yuxin) . The lost Feng Jiu went alone to the world and gave birth to Donghua’s son. At this time, Donghua was seriously injured and consciously died soon. He could only bury his love for Feng Jiu in his heart, and turned his half heart into a glass ring to protect the phoenix and prepare for emergence. He realized that Donghua was deep in himself. The feelings, Feng Jiu resolutely rushed to the emperor and the fallen battlefield, burning the power of life, defeating the strong enemy and helping Donghua maintain the peace of the world. In the end, justice defeated evil, and light defeated the darkness. Feng Jiu was asleep because of serious injuries. Donghua and Bai Feng and his father and son recognized each other.

 

It's not perfect but it gets the jist across

But after reading this I feel a lot more at ease

This version seems much more accurate than the other translated synopsis

Specifically the parts about how DH has "forgotten the word 'love'" and FJ entering the "dreamland of the winged Princess [Aranya]"

 

Note to any Chinese readers out there, how accurate is this to the original Chinese synopsis?

This synopsis was much better than the other synopsis tho...

I remember there's once here some fans asked for a thousands years old how come DH never have any relationships before?

The Peace of Heaven/world was his first and foremost priority all the time..he doesn't have a time or a urged/desires for love or woman until FJ.

That why he was known as "Desireless Emotionless Loveless" deity..

 

Eventhough he was adopted by Zhihe Father but he didn't feel their affections or "love" ...one of the reason was bc his unique hair color.(how can that be????.I have a thing for silver hair hero )

I felt the sadness...feel so touching when read the part that he was indulged and pampered by FJ..and he really love it.

True that there are changes...I hope this is just one person's (the one who made the synopsis) interpretation of the book. 

 

You can see parallels to the book, though. For example:

 

The debt of gratitude could be the one that started it all...where DH saves her from that beast in the mountains. There are a lot of times that FJ could owe a debt of gratitude to DH in the Pillow Book...when he helps her as she fought the demon that started the fire, when he keeps the stuff she forgot at the hot springs, when he puts her in the cage (?) to keep her safe etc.

 

The rebelling demon lord could be Yan Chiwu who always asks DH for a duel.

 

To keep her safe, DH puts her in the cage (?) which falls into Fan Yin Valley (instead of the mortal world).

 

I don't know who is the guardian who dies... maybe it's supposed to be connected to Qing Ti? So maybe they are going to show an arc where she does go to the mortal realm and she was a concubine who was gifted to Qing Ti.

 

The immortal fruit is the fruit from Fan Yin Valley that she wants in order to repay her debt of gratitude to Qing Ti.

 

The temple of the ghost princess is likely Aranya's dream. 

 

Yep, those are some changes. 

 

If the interpretation was follow the accuracy of the book..no matter how odd as it was..I don't mind 

What's make me anxious IF the synopsis was really meant for the PB drama..especially these excerpts..

 

Donghua already forgot what love is

 

just like what @midnight_muse said ..these word was implied that DH has been love before.

But we know from the book DongFeng was each other first.

and this also make me a little bit confused why DH confessed to FJ's father that he was fell in love at the first sight with Fengjiu.

Is mydramalist reliable ? Some of their information seems not right (remember reba's next project?)

I hope so..

I remember Reba's next project..the one that the casts listed keep on changing right..

 

@midnight_muse you could be right.. maybe they( mydramalist) just worded it badly..

yes, indeed, this is bothering me also. If this synopsis is true, then they changed the story too much and i don't like it. It's a completely new story. hope they didn't do this, i really hope.

IKR..I hope they just follow the storyline as the book..but IF they didn't..I don't mind if they change a little bit..

Since we already seen a leaks video of Mortal realm or maybe it's actually part of FJ's life story in the Temple of ghost princess as per synopsis...We also seen Jiheng in the leaks video...her origin was from Ghost clan then adopted by Demon clan.

 

Ps: by the way this me aka jimmylyne

 Got a problem with login ....I have to create another acct bc I am impatiently waiting for moderators( don't  know what it called)to solves my problem..

A part of synopsis on mydramalist...and it's bugging me ..way too much different from the book..

 

To pay the debt of gratitude, FJ follows DH who goes to fight the rebelling Demon lord. FJ soon realize that gratitude has turned into love, however DH already forgot what love is. In order to keep her safe , DH sends FJ to the mortal realm,  but the guardian he sends together with her unexpectedly dies. While trying to find the Immortal Fruit that can let her reborn, FJ enters the temple of the ghost princess.
