Explaining the different number of episodes on MAL and on Streaming platforms.

The two seasons of this donghua have finally arrived at streaming platforms outside of China! However, as some may notice, the streaming platforms lists Season 1 as having only 7 episodes, however websites such as My Anime List, Anilist, IMDB, etc all lists Season 1 as having 8 episodes.

Since this can be confusing for new viewers, here's the explanation behind this:

Episodes 4 and 5 had smaller lengths than the other episodes. Streaming platforms decided to combine both episodes into only one of normal length.

Which means:

Both episodes, 4 and 5 in the MAL, Anilist, IMDB, etc numbering (aka, the original and official numbering of the show on it's country of origin!) are listed in the streaming platforms as only episode 4.

And so on:

On MAL: EP6 = On streamings: EP5.
On MAL: EP7 = On streamings: EP6.
On MAL: EP8 = On streamings: EP7.

Hopes this post can help some newcommers to the show of not being afraid of having missed one episode if they watched it through streaming platforms.

Many thanks! I had no idea why the difference in episode numbering. I was looking for a thread like this.
