You can just drop it if you want, cuz the plot has a long way to go. If you really want to know the story, you can just read the novel. The title is the same. The novel is finishes so no more cliffhangers.
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. Your suggestion of reading the novel sounds like a good idea. At one time I read enough of the manhua that I made it up to this point, so it must have captured enough interest to do that. I just can't remember what it was that caught my attention and when there are hundreds of chapters to reread, I get a bit alarmed. (⌒▽⌒)
There are such long hiatuses between segments of chapters, and the stories are such carbon copies of other stories, that I keep losing the plot and forgetting who the characters are and why I'm supposed to care. I'm a stuffy nose away from dropping this.
