Thanks to feedback from friends, I have added this little scene to make the eventual relationship between the two boars more expected.

I wasn't planning on watching The Longest Promise cos I was meh on the cast and xianxia genre, until I realise it was based on a novel by Cang Yue 沧月 whose novels I absolutely devoured back around 2011. Somehow I had gotten it mixed up in my head that The Longest Promise was based on Tong Hua's novel, but that actually was Lost You Forever 长相思 (basis of the upcoming - I think - Yang Zi drama) ... which I confused with another Tong Hua novel Promise Me A Forever 曾许诺 ! Let's just say it's been a realllllly long time since I read stuff from either authors.
Back to adaptations of Cang Yue's novels... I loved Listening Snow Tower 听雪楼 and 镜 / 羽 Mirror/Feather series but I hated the drama adaptations so much. Honestly I find the cosplay version of Listening Snow Tower a better representation of the novel's essence! But given I have not read 朱颜 (published much later in 2016 when I had moved on from Cang Yue) and I probably won't, I might be able to enjoy The Longest Promise as a standalone drama since I find Cang Yue's world building more under the fantasy 玄幻 umbrella than xianxia 仙侠??
Let me know if The Longest Promise is worth my time. The problem with c-ent now is due to liu liang 流量 and crazy fans/anti-fans, I find myself not trusting reviews I see on platforms like douban when a drama involves a popular idol, making it hard to gauge how I would like a drama as a neutral viewer.

I think it's very significant Hua Cheng's power involves rain because the event that started Xie Lian's suffering was a drought, so it's as if when he emerged to protect him, he said: "if it was wrong for gods to answer prayers for rain, a ghost will. And the heavens will bleed for it".

I love how having only Xie Lian's perspective on TGCF does absolutely nothing to hinder the audience's understanding of what's going through Hua Cheng's head. My guy is not subtle At All about what's going through his head; Xie Lian is just such an unreliable narrator that it doesn't change anything about the story.

Annnd that’s it for now folks! Thanks for reading.
I have made very little progress on the next chapter and I will be happy if I even complete one chapter while in graduate school. It... may be a while before this story continues. Thanks for your patience!

That's why a commoner understood the everything of a prince,
And that's why a god wanted to know the everything of a ghost:
Because we are made of many states of ourselves,
And loving is when for each part of us there is one part of other.
@huaenrose.
