Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao’s Story and Romance

@liddi

Ballad of the desert, I think the cast didn't work well for me, the adaptation was ok, but it did feel a bit cheesy sometimes. It is an old school drama so they did have different standards back then, altough Scarlet heart îs older and I don't remember being chessy. The ost and the visuals were great and the serious moments were also very nice depicted, so I guess it was the cast that didn't really impress me. 

“There are still 14 episodes in between where Xiang Liu last left Xiao Yao in Ep3, up to Jing's supposed death and everything that entailed.”

And those episodes cover the ice crystal ball, her wedding, the interruption, the aftermath, reconciling with TSJ, CX getting married, XY’s identity being revealed, XY meeting her mother, the war with Haoling, and XY getting engaged to TSJ?

I assume the script does not include XL comforting XY in chapter 35, and kissing her quickly on her forehead before he leaves? Also, quite importantly, the scene where he talks about burying and remembering all of his dead comrades.

i second the vote for the fanfic. Unfortunately im still on hsk4 and not enough knowledge to read a novel yet but the novel provided the closure i need. 

i wish someone here does a proper translation of it as i had to use machine translation to read (which translates xiangliu’s form into a sardines/mackarel 😂) and in some parts i dont really understand what was going on. But for the most of it, the story makes sense. 

And today, September 27, was the day I discovered I love a mackerel. 

We truly learn something new everyday.

some of the google translation for that AU fanfic were questionable lmao 🤣 and used the wrong pronouns at times but I understood it for the most part.

The novel didn't provide me closure but that AU fic did. I'm just going to pretend that AU is canon if the yaoliu special isn't real.

It's obvious that if that is the final script, XL's fans are at loss.  YaoJing ship îs still sailling hard and it doesn's seem as if they made to many changes to their arcs / flow of the story, and CX  îs another story, but chances are that many of CX shippers will actually find the changes  better rather than worse. Honestly, if that is the final script (and I am already convinced that it is) I won't even mind to have this whole thing cut at 21 episodes.  I even regret starting this or spending time reading the novel because I don't feel like I have any closure whatsoever. I love tragedies when done right, but I don't see anything right with this ending, it just left me frustrate. I have yet to watch goodbye, my princess, but for all I know that's an tragic ending done right. 

Yep, it seems like CX fans benefited the most from these changes while XL fans got the short end of the stick....

Goodbye, My Princess ended tragically but it was also satisfying too. It was the only ending suitable for the female lead plus the male lead got to suffer for all the wrong things he did to her by living in despair for the rest of his life.

I don't know yet whether she gets to meet her mother - someone mentioned that Yang Zi fought to have that scene included. Will share once I do get around to that part. And no, with the exclusion of Ch43, I am not as certain we will get Ch35 after she finds out about her true parentage either. What I do know is that we get additional scenes that show how Xiang Liu copes with the lover's bug, especially when he can feel Xiao Yao being intimate with Jing.

Oh no poor  XL ..why do they put such a scene in having him feel XL intimate with Jing?  Stupid ..

Yikes, everything about this is stomach-churning.

We here at the XL Support Group have already faced this terrible fact of the PLB.

If I were XL, I would be hard pressed not to make XY feel nauseous every time she kissed Jing.  He's a much better person than I am.  ;ppp
