so basically, they didnt do the deed in the novel? But only spiritual intercourse right?
No, they did; in the novel after Yue Chuihui was killed, to punish LYT for letting herself get hurt, Sima Jiao did the physical and spiritual communication/intimacy together; When Sima Men gets physically intimate with someone outside the clan, the woman would feel the fire burning her insides; a fraction of the pain the man feesl due to the body and soul refined by the fire when they offer/nurture the fire (Sima Jiao is different as the fire is inside him so he constantly has to nurture the fire) . So, the first physical intimacy is like punishment but as LYT drank Sima Jiao's blood and the fengshan flower before so she was in much better condition. After the first time, the woman's body will completely change like going through a low-level refining making them suitable for being partners with Sima and have Offsprings.
The drama also had a low-key version of it, after Yue Chuhui's death; It was not punishment but to heal her injuries. LYT was showing burning red.
