Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao’s Story and Romance

 AH :

I think that's consistent with what I said above?

Yep!

 AH :

I'm not sure that being happy to be alive, awake and in the sunlight would seem out of character in those circumstances. Or that XL would necessarily be suspicious because she called for him and told him that she was awake.

In any case, the fact that she had such a reverse mood swing when she realized that XL wouldn't come see her (XL was not far away and with his exceptional hearing, he most certainly overheard the conversation between Furball and XY), overflowed with sadness in her heart eventhough she was all smile after regaining life. Maybe in the novel, it's not that sure because XY cried after departing the clam shell and not sure how XL's GPS work but it could implies that she could have arrived in Qing Qiu and thus, it could been crying while seeing the state of TSJ.

I hope we'll get to have a clear explanation about what the tear pearl means. It could means many things in the merfolk world I guess. Eventhough the tearl pearl wouldn't help us ensure that XY was conscious...

This made me laugh and then I thought of chapter 46 and made myself sad ^^"

The drama definitely needs a whole separate analysis. The details are so different, and we don't have the benefit of knowing about the character's hidden inner thoughts and hidden or nuanced inner feelings.

Butterflies and Spiders

In a beautiful flower garden, a butterfly sings among the flowers whose colors dazzle the eye, the flock of flowers becomes happy when they hear the butterfly's beautiful yet gentle hum.

The butterfly continues its journey feeling happy, it sings as long as it flaps its wings. Arriving at a place that seemed to have few flowers, he continued humming.

Because the butterflies were happy, he didn't notice the cobwebs in front of him. He was then trapped and struggled in an attempt to free himself.

"Is this what caught me? ” muttered the anxious butterfly.

"You don't need to be afraid, this web won't kill you," answered the spider that came calmly

"How could it not kill me? My body feels stiff when it wants to escape," replied the butterfly, which became increasingly panicked after seeing the spider.

"It's me who will kill you, not the web I made," the spider answered again in the same calm tone.

The butterfly continues to struggle, trying to flap its wings, move its body which is now increasingly attached to the spider's web. For some time, spiders only pay attention to butterflies, they always watch this show every time their prey tries to escape, spiders watch it like they are enjoying a grand stage performance.

The spider then approaches, intending to wrap the prey in its web. When the spider was about to silence the butterfly, he said: "Be quiet, you weak creature, there will be no more miracles after anyone who is caught in my web. “

"What do you want to do? " asked the butterfly who was now asking weakly

"I will paralyze you then bandage you then I will eat you" answered the spider

"Evil! You are so cruel to your prey," said the butterfly angrily

"I am a kind-hearted killer, I don't hurt you with claws or blind bites, I try to calm each of my victims at the end of their life, isn't that a kindness for me and for you? ” replied the spider again

Butterfly was silent for a moment then asked,

"O creature who has no wings, answer me this one question, will I be in vain after you take my soul? ”

"You are a creature with a lot of devotion, you make us who see you comfortable and charming, you help the flowers find their partners, look just now you made the flowers dance to your song, even from the start you have been loved by many creatures" answered the spider enthusiastically

"I envy you for all my advantages, you are very skilled at making threads that are so thin, to the point that I didn't realize I was trapped here, but thinness doesn't indicate weakness, you make a trap so wide with threads this thin, and also your patience in waiting for creatures to get entangled," answered butterflies that now no longer try to escape

"That's how this earth was created with so much diversity, you can't change the outlines of destiny that are written in God's hands, nor can you add even a tiny bit." Spider wise

"There are also differences between us..." added the butterfly "...I am charming with my wings and you are dashing with your net and your patience. ”

" xy said she was free-spirited and adventurous, but when jing proposed to her and was going to put her in his house and not show it to anyone else, she obediently and blushed, ooh xy did you suddenly forget to remember??"

The same thing with the snake and fox demon metaphors, in fact XL dies and xy gets caught in the fox demon's spider web, prison!!

Some say that the name Dragon Bone Prison is not just a name, does anyone know what it means?

@AH

I will definetely check the theories you guys have raised, but I personally can't think of any theory that wouldn't feel a bit far fetched. Too many assumptions maybe.

Fair enough ^^

Happy to have made you laugh :D

Yes, I think that too! I tend to merge the drama and the novel to make interpretations but the truth is that the drama really is a different take on a story, an adaptation of a story... Also, sometimes, I hope that the additionnal stuffs in the drama confirm things that I hope were true in the novel but other times, I'd much rather be able to choose to disavow the drama (wink wink especially at season 2 with it leaked script of doom) ^^"

@AH dan @blabla100

Ada yang mengatakan bahwa sebelum Tonghua menyelesaikan buku ketiganya, dia sakit dan dirawat di rumah sakit selama beberapa waktu, dan penggemar bukunya mengatakan ada yang aneh dengan plot di buku ketiganya. Mungkin dia sedang terburu-buru untuk menyelesaikannya dan idenya berubah. kita tidak tahu

Walaupun ada kemungkinan dia sakit semasa menulis buku ketiga pada tahun 2012, dia berpeluang memperbaharui ceritanya dalam revisi baru pada tahun 2019, tetapi akhirnya, plot masih sama. Revisi baru cuma penukaran nama, penggunaan perkataan berlainan / tambahan termasuk prologue. Oleh itu, saya rasa cerita yang dikemukakan memang cerita yang dia ingin tulis. Tong Hua juga pernah menyatakan dalam temuduga bahawa dia biasanya tidak memikir panjang bagaimana ceritanya akan berakhir, dan membiarkan watak-wataknya memberitahunya bagaimana kesudahan riwayat mereka. 

@blimarch

"By the way, what motivates the OP to say that XL knew that XY was conscious the whole time during  the 37 healing years under the sea ? And when does she thinks XL realized that (or maybe he knew all along but he relied on the unspoken things between him and XY to be buried under the sea?)"

Honestly this theory it's not that far fetched, beside the obvious clue - the bugs, there is also that discussion from chapter 26 

"If I die again and you give another of your lives to save me, will I become even more like you…….”

Xiang Liu stared at Xiao Yao and his face was as placid as the water.

Xiao Yao’s voice got smaller and smaller “Become, become…..I mean…..” She suddenly started to chuckle like a fool “I, forget I said anything!”

Xiang Liu grabbed Xiao Yao’s neck and moved his face right in front of her face and said each word carefully “If you dare die again, I will cut you into nine pieces, perfect for each of my heads to eat a piece!”

Unless I have forgotten something (which it is possible), XL never told CX nor XY that he used one of his lifes în saving her, so if XL thought that XY was not aware of what happened during their 37 years togheter, he should have been surprised that she knows that, but he didn't even ask her who told her that or anything of  this sort, so to me this can look like an unspoken agreement between them. And right after, there is this whole discussion about the fishes that kissed her palms and their short memory and also that question "do you want to remember or forget", it kinda rings a bell. 

"Xiao Yao reached out her hand and the colorful fishes kissed her palms and she could feel their simple joy “They are so simple like they have no feelings.”

Xiang Liu said “This type of fish have very short memories. When you pull your hand back, they will have forgotten they kissed your palm.”

Without memory there was longer, happiness or joy, so their peaceful simplicity was truly the most organic in the world.

Xiao Yao swam and turned back to look at the colorful fishes still swimming back and forth “I remember them but they’ve already forgotten me. In the future when I see the same type of fish I’ll remember them so that each new meeting is like a reunion, but each meeting for them is a new meeting, so even a real reunion is like a first meeting.”

Xiang Liu asked “Do you want to remember or forget?”

Xiao Yao thought about it “Remember, even if it’s painful and a burden, I still want to remember.”

Also this part

"Xiang Liu didn’t want her to know that when she was unconscious the things he did with her, and she didn’t want him to know that she already knew. Their embraces and companionship, just let it be buried deep in the dark ocean depths!"

The things he did with her, not to her. Their embraces, not his embraces.
