Mo Bao Fei Bao’s Forever And Ever (Beautiful Bones) confirms Ren Jia Lun and Bai Lu as leads

One Life, One Reincarnation – Beautiful Bones (一生一世美人骨) is the next Mo Bao Fei Bao’s novel to be adapted! Confirmed leads who attended the booting ceremony just a few hours ago were Ren Jia Lun and Bai Lu. Beautiful bones here refer to the person’s inner beauty as opposed to beauty that is outside – on the skin. The drama will have two parts, one sets in the ancient times, and another in the modern world as both of our leads reincarnated a thousand years later. In their previous lives, their love story ended tragically, and when given a second chance in a new world, what will happen to them? Our male lead doesn’t have memories of the past life, but our female lead does retain the feelings and memories. Oy! She recognizes him the moment they meet again and will chase after him despite the changes and challenges ahead.

The novel can be read here. Feel free to give me more backgrounds on our leads novel readers!

    It had a lot of poem references… that’s mainly what I’ve gotten from the novel LOL
    But i remembered they got married pretty soon?
    The historical part wasnt dived into as much (i wished the author did as the main goal of the female lead and her actions toward the male lead were influenced by the past). Maybe the drama will stretch out the historical part

      Im intrigued how they would adapt it. Stretching out the historical bit i thk would be visually pleasing too. But the male lead’s appearance is not the same. That’s the big part of it..she knows it’s him even though he doesnt look the same. So how can they get Allen Ren to be in both lives? Head scratching*

        Hire a really good makeup artist lol esp the cinematic kind
        Then have Allen completely change his look and act out the historical part
        Or they hire another actor

    Can’t believe this novel is getting an adaption too, I rmb loving it so much because of how beautiful the story was. And agree, I hope they film the historical part too and give us a more wholesome story.
    Looking forward to Ren Jialun, great actor<3 Idk much about BaiLu, but hope she acts out the aura of ShiYi.
    Dear scriptwriters, please follow the novel omg, it will be a hit if u guys just FOLLOW.

    This is one novel that I had always hoped and also feared to be adapted…I love the novel and have read it several times. Lol..to be honest I always pictured the male lead to be tall, but I am really looking forward to Ren Jia Lun´s interpretation of the character,
    I wonder how they will pull of the reincarnation..I mean that this drama won´t be shelved because of it..the Chinese censorship has become a lot stricter…
    I truly hope that the story will stay true and won´t be butchered or that a lot of scenes will be cut and edity badly together…there have been several adaptations where only the names remained and the story was totally different…

    I just find Ren Jia Lun so short, frail and boyish looking. He’s always playing these manly leads but I can’t take him seriously.

    I read the novel again after hearing it would be adapted. He proposes to her early in the story since he has a good impression of her and he needs a wife in order to be able to take control of his family matters. His family background was definitely not what she expected since she knew him as I scientist that didn’t even carry a phone. They had only e-mailed each other for months before they met a second time in person. I’m interested how they will stretch out the past life since she didn’t remember many memories in the present day. During the second read I realized several other characters were actually reincarnated, but the female lead never directly met them so she didn’t know that. In my opinion the man she was engaged to marry in the past and that man’s sister were reincarnated, but in the present time they become the male leads best friend and his little sister. I think Ren Jia Lun can play the lead role really well, but he looks too handsome for the present day male lead as he is supposed to look completely different after being reincarnated. The female lead says he no longer has the handsome appearance of the past but she recognizes him immediately when she looks into his eyes. The different appearance was why the bones inner beauty was big part of the story. While his appearance, voice, etc. changed his “bones” are still the same. I bet they will just have him wear glasses…

    Hi Kappy, I am sorry that this is a bit off-topic. But you should provide the novel links on A Virtual Voyage to the actual translators’ websites and not generally to novelupdates. For your information, novelupdates does not credit the translators for posting their book synopsis like mydramalist, even though it is merely providing links and not the full translations. Hence, isn’t it more appropriate for writers of A Virtual Voyage to post the direct links to the respective book translators’ websites?

      is it an issue using novel updates? they don’t make money (i know because a friend is currently volunteering there to gather links) and they merely link to the author’s websites in an organized way. i have to be honest, sometimes, the author’s websites are terrible at providing an organized index.

      I usually try to link original author’s link but sometimes they get removed when the drama is copyrighted and the link expires ~ >.<" With novelupdates, someone would inform readers of what happened.

    OMG. One of my first fav chinese novels. I wrote my college application personal statement on it (in a way) lmao. For me it’s less the contents of the story itself, but how it’s written. I think the novel is incredibly atmospheric and beautiful. It just feels very quiet and still. Even when there’s action or when the novel is mostly in the modern time, the writing just makes the novel feel so … like ancient poetry almost, that kind of stillness and beauty. I find it’s very hard to describe why I think it’s so good.

    I’m anticipating this purely bc I loved the novel… but I don’t really have too high expectations for it at the same time. I think it’ll be very hard to capture what exactly makes this novel so unforgettable (since the story/plot itself isn’t actually THAT magnificent) without a REALLY good scriptwriter and directer that really GET what makes the book great.
