We had a discussion about 2 weeks ago regarding the differences in her reminiscing about Qingshui Town in the novel vs the leaked script - Xiao Yao's internal monologue (novel) vs her recollecting to her grandfather (leaked script). The novel used the "Who knew" to refer to the Lovers bug, while the leaked script applied it to Shi Qi being poisoned, removing any reference of the Lovers bug in there (since Xiao Yao in the drama never knew what kind of poisonous bug she planted with Xiang Liu).liddi:
When I saw the trailer, I thought it was going to be all about Jing. But happily, the actual scene was mostly about XL.
I think that was one of the biggest cuts against XL, that they never let XY learn what the Lovers Bugs were.
"One time, Xiang Liu came to find me after he was wounded. I saw that he could not move so I took a piece of charcoal from the stove and drew eyes on his face. I drew a total of seven, and added with his own, there were nine. Those eyes of his glared at me fiercely. But it was strange. I could feel that he had no intent to kill me."
I liked this add! ^^

Yes. It was really a surprise when we got Xiao Yao's recollection again when Xiang Liu was in Hui Chun clinic, because I thought her scene had ended already. As such, it was such a beautiful, poetic touch to have her reminiscing about that time, and him doing so at the same time. And we then have his internal monologue at that same scene when he touches his heart (because he could feel all her emotions), with the words adapted from an ancient poem by Song dynasty poet Li Qingzhao "A Twig of Plum Blossoms: Fragrance of Red Lotus Fades on the Jade Mat in Autumn" that broke my heart:
"一种心思，两处闲愁 A kind of feeling, puts two people in idle sadness"
which means, two people feel the same but cannot express it to each other and can only be sad in their own place.
I think that was one of the biggest cuts against XL, that they never let XY learn what the Lovers Bugs were.
Yes. If they did, they could not go on with the ending they prepared. Yet, we see references to the Lovers bug in the added scene with the Shaman King, when Xiang Liu calls it by its proper name, that should tell the viewers exactly what that indicated about the two people who planted it successfully.
The cresent moon does not reflect her memory of the full moon that they watched together. However, as in several discussion about counting the day from her woke up in Jade mountain until the wedding, it is the exact shape of the moon (her wedding is somewhere end of the month - day 28th of the lunar month).H19279:
I understand the calculation. However, as we discussed previously, the novel itself described the moon Xiao Yao gazed at the night she learnt of Xiang Liu's death as "一轮皓月", where 轮 is a quantifier for something that is round. As such, it was a bright, round moon that she was gazing at that night, not a crescent moon, which immediately allows us to associate back to the moon over Gourd lake that they saw together. A crescent moon would have the quantifier 钩 (hook) or 牙 (tooth).
I think the cresent moon may offer different meaning:
1. The moon itself will be forever associate with her memory with XL from now on (as it used to be a long time back)
2. The cresent moon - fullmoon with missing part - represents for the loss
3.Foreshaddow for her future: it is not a full, complete happiness
That is an interesting interpretation. It never occurred to me until you mentioned it, but it does sound plausible - thank you for sharing.

Oh my. That is lovely! And yes, I caught him touching his chest and feeling her heart.

It is what it is. We got their red wedding, and not the Game of Thrones one, so I guess we'll just have to be content.

Thank you for adding that context!

The Jingers are complaining that Jing got too less scenes than what was expected
Liu Yifei:
Has anybody noticed the colour of the merman to whom XY is swimming to. It's tail is depicted in orange colour (a colour associated with TJ). While the merman who is hiding is in white colour (a colour associated with XL.
Orange is associated with Jing?

Of course. Everyone had scenes cut.

My Lord! I just saw the news that Tushan Jing exceeded 200 million heat index for character on Tencent. It is top 3 (shared with Xiao Yao and a Xiao Zhan's character). His fan has been working so hard. Especially for a character that they complained so much for lack of time screen

Well, he is also known as a water king. ;p But his fans are definitely trying to make fetch happen. And I think there was some sort of conflict with the Zimis ... again.
