Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao’s Story and Romance

 nathsketch:

Thank you for the translations, Liddi! We definitely need to start getting ready for next year. I'm already planning on showing all these leaked scripts to a therapist 😅😤

Care to share your therapist's name with me? I know I will be on tenterhooks as each episode airs, terrified of what we might see. 

Especially when reading comments like these:

"I love tushan Jing. I pray they end up together. I'm tired of fls choosing toxic men over good guys.

I like that she seems to love him most for now. I only see friendship vibes with her & xiang lu.

Liking ' bad boys' is why most people end up in abusive relationships.

I wish I could meet a tushan Jing in my life."

Another gem found in the main comment section.

 liddi:

Now, Xiang Liu ranks first for her, followed by Cang Xuan, and Jing last. She has since read the novel version of the 37 years under the ocean, and is frustrated that YaoLiu scenes were diluted or changed, declaring that we have been robbed even though we have so few scenes as it is.

Over the past two days, she has been inconsolable, already mourning for what she knows to be Xiang Liu's fate down the road

She's one of us now. Jing ranks dead last for me. Even Feng Long and Hou are ahead of him in rank 🤣🤣🤣

 Elise:

Even Feng Long and Hou are ahead of him in rank ???

 nathsketch:

Feng Long is a peach, and Hou doesn't really bother all that much.

My daughter noted that majority of the kisses are taken up by the Tushan brothers. Gah!

Yikes, yes. Stomach-churning kisses. An abomination, ugh.

 liddi:

Oh... which episode did you stop at? Did you make it to the 37 years under the ocean?

I only watched two-thirds of it. I stopped at episode 26. When she became a princess again I got so bored and the fox dude with his fox dude face wasn't helping so I just quit it. I'll eventually watch one more episode because I promised Kokuto that I would.

 liddi:

Did you make it to the 37 years under the ocean?

No, and seeing the many changes from the novel to the drama isn't really helping me want to watch it. All that robbery we've been subjected to... it's painful.

 liddi:

Any plans to go and pick up where you left off, since I guess pretty much all that has happened would have been discussed on the thread, so it won't be that much of a spoiler.

I've read so much about it and seen endless clips, so basically I've watched it all, except for the fox dude scenes. Those do not exist in my world. 🤣

But I really can't bring myself to watch it. I've stared at my Viki app countless times and when I'm about to press play, an invisible hand stops me from doing it LOL It will remain there in my "Continue Watching" list forever. Oh, wait, no, I removed it months ago hah. 😅

 liddi:

She is a lot less cheerful nowadays so I tried to comfort her by telling her he is not real, but to her, he is real in her heart. I just hope I can find a way for her to move on... she tried distracting herself with other shows, but it has not really helped much so far, and I catch her humming the songs every now and again.

Same. I don't know how old she is, but it's probably normal behavior at her age. I used to get pretty upset with fictional stuff when I was younger. 

But nowadays, for me to behave like this... eh... not really that normal 😹. So I have to pretend to do some adulting every now and then. Crying over Xiang Liu won't pay the bills ahahahaha

So I'm glad we have this space to vent among friends. ♥️

 liddi:

Definitely. Thank goodness for fanfics!

I lost the links to the one where she resurrected him. Does anyone have the link handy.

Or anyone other you would recommend.

I've only read two thus far. 

相思日月长 is the one where she resurrects Xiang Liu using a fragment of his soul which Gong Gong managed to preserve.

不负相思意 is the one where she manages to go back in time due to the mirror after his death, and makes different choices, knowing now what she didn't before.
