Perfect and Casual. The subs are missing for episode 7 but you can download the MangoTV app for your phone and watch ep 7 that way.

The original novel that Eternal Love takes inspiration from is called "Peach Blossom Debt." I believe that it's not currently completely translated yet, but it is available on Novelupdates here with around half of the chapters finished. The author is very well known in BL communities and circles for her eloquent and poetic writing. I haven't started it yet, but I've heard very good things about the novel and when I was in Shanghai last year it was one of the most popular selling books. If you can read in simplified Chinese, you can also purchase the novel on Amazon here.

LOL. Not the same ones, but similar style ones can be found on Amazon. The link shows some orange/teal ones.

Download the 1080p video from YouTube https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBNHceQmsdFTGmj1rbXzckiXir9IJtm5F

Download the English subs from Subscene.

Use a video player that allows you to use external sub files, such as MX Player on Android or KMPlayer on PC.

I was just about to post a reply with your list but with links to watch all of them from the US on legit sites, and poof my post disappeared.

So instead I'll link here my doc that has everything on your list that is available in the US with English subtitles that I know of. There are direct links to watch on legit services. The list also includes most all of the top rated drama released before August 2020 that are available with subs, including a more extensive list of 2020 dramas released before August.

Oh yes! Here’s the link to the amazon page, the book is called “To the Sky Kingdom” by Tang Qi.

You can watch episode 7 with English subtitles on the MangoTV mobile app.

Also the songs muted on YouTube won't be muted on the app.

I saw it on Amazon Prime. For whatever reason, it is no longer available. Don't give up hope. I've found stuff before. https://www.amazon.com/The-Legend-of-Xiaozhuang/dp/B0823YVDHL That's where I saw it.

I really liked William T. Rowe's "China's Last Empire: The Great Qing" which is part of a 6-volume series on Chinese history.

You can use a VPN Service like NordVPN with Disney+ and unlock regional content.

For example i connect to Hong Kong and open D+ so i can view HK content. ❤️👍

side note:

Netflix works.

is always doing dificult while is working fine with vpn

I been searching too like mad. I want one too. I have not found one. This is the closest I have seen https://www.amazon.com/CELLANAN-Chalkboard-Erasable-Flashing-Supermarkets/dp/B09MJXGDZK/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?keywords=light+up+message+board&qid=1652142507&sr=8-9

So you have to download “downloader” on your firetv 1. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.esaba.downloader&hl=en_US&gl=US -if you have extra storage- to the setting tad and pick where you want the file to savethe download folder. Otherwise, the program will just install the app for you on the firetv hard drive. 2. Once you install the app, you can search for “WeTV apk ” or “iQIYI apk”. It will show some site where the app is. Just make sure you download the apk file and not an advertisement link or a dead link. 3. Once apk is download, downloader will ask if you want to install…then you are all set to install the app and ready to go.

Also remember to go you firetv setting -“device and software” setting -> “developer options” ->and turn on “app from Unknown sources” before you do anything

Good luck…if you need more help or detailed write up, just message me. I do one for you.

Netflix and Yoyo Channel on youtube used to have it but it seems they no longer have it. You can get soft subs from the Yoyo's Channel one (done by BabelSubs) here though.

I think I found it!

If you're not familiar with subscene, you download the sub file and download the raw videos (if they're on a site like you too you can use clipgrab). Then you put the videos and the subs in the same folder and give the subs and audio file the same name (ie one boat one world ep01), which will make the sub and video play together automatically if you're using something like VLC media player. I've heard kmplayer is good on mobile, but it's a mess on desktop. Sorry if my explanation isn't very good, but you should be able to find lots of guides online. :)

I usually drink it as a tea (ginger + brown sugar), you can buy it easily premade from any local Asian grocery store or even online:

You might enjoy Shan Sa's Empress, which is about Empress Wu Zetian. I read it a long time ago so I don't remember the exact details but I did enjoy it.

There's also Weina Dai Randel's The Moon in the Palace which I haven't read but it's also about the same empress. There's also a second book in the series.

I can't believe I found it lollll It's a Craftholic Rab Bunny plush toy, closest I got was this

CRAFTHOLIC Soft Plush Cushion Doll Aquarium Series - Rab Bunny/ Sloth Bear / Korat Cat / Loris Monkey- Size Medium (Pink Coral Rab Bunny) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09H6DK6ZP/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_AYBRK6GH7CS2YFAWWK9S

Here is the version of the subs that sync up with the drama on YouTube — or at least they did for me, let me know if you have any problems. The Legend of Concubine Zhen Huan is one of my favorite dramas, and I thought I'd start adding the sub link when I rec it. :)

I looked it up for you, I'll edit into my post, but see here. It's only halfway done, if you want the whole thing now you can get Viki's full subs here. If you download a raw copy, then the subs are already timed to go with it. I think the best program is Video Downloader, is that the right one /u/samvest?

I suspect a TV compatible Youku app is just not available.

Another app that I consider a must have on my Fire TVs is NewPipe, which is an open source YouTube client that has zero in app and zero in video ads. I still use the normal YouTube app since I believe in supporting the content creators/publishers, but sometimes when I just want to settle in and watch the ads are just too much so I use NewPipe.

NewPipe is fully compatible with the Fire TV remote except for one bug that doesn't allow you to select the toggle to turn soft codded subtitles on and off in a video. The toggle for subtitles is located in an in video drop down menu located at the top of the screen. With a mouse you can turn on subtitle and once you turn them on they will stay on in the future for your default language.

The website to download NewPipe is https://newpipe.net/ (or Downloader URL code 73022). If you scroll down the page to where it says Get NewPipe you can download the standard version.

Oh, I just watched a few minutes in the first couple eps, so I don't have a really clear idea. It just wasn't obviously bad, so I've been keeping it as an option if I can't find anything else. I've had my fair share of bad experiences with YouTube too, Advisors Alliance was removed Viki when I was like halfway through, and it's been pretty rough finishing on YouTube with its literal translations. :/

I'm in the US and have a Prime subscription too, Ruyi is still there, but Nothing Gold Can Stay is gone for me/requires another service — link to Amazon listing. There were a lot of older dramas that were added not that long ago but have disappeared in the last month or two. :/

Did you install the TV version app? I would have thought the Android TV version of the iQIYI app would be available directly from the Google Play Store on the Shield TV. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iqiyi.i18n.tv

Unfortunately I don't have a Shield TV to figure it out. I do have a Fire TV and a Mi Box Android TV. I'm really curious if the brand new $50 Chromecast with Google TV, which runs a custom version of Android TV has iQIYI and WeTV available from the Play Store.

I do use GoVPN. But it only works on my mobile. I generally use my laptop to watch dramas so I have to stick to dramas from my region.

I have subscription so the ads things doesn't really happen to me. On mobile, VPN works fine for Viki.

Available here on YouTube in 1080p with English subtitles.

The caveat is that the videos are blocked in the US however it is not blocked in the UK. The good news is that if you are using a mobile device, Fire TV, or Android TV it is dead simple to use even a free VPN to connect to a UK server and therefore unblock it.

On my phone I am using Thunder VPN and it works fine. There are tons of other vpns out there. On my Fire TV and Android TV I am using Windscribe which is great but only gives you 10gb bandwidth a month for free. Another free one to try is Hotspot Shield.
