I think they could have done it, theoretically. Because much like someone pointed out the loophole of Jing's 15 year promise ( i.e. XL was already in her heart), XY did have feelings for Jing when XL accepted the Love Bug.

But it's not a feeling of love. Only affection between the savior and the person being saved. that's their closeness. It starts with pity. If it's a feeling of love, why does Tonghua write cuanzi and tian er?

 H19279:
About the Script. I found it more and more illogical. It seems that XL is bitter, could not give-up thinking of her refusal.

YES

 H19279:

 liddi:
Xiang Liu opened a wooden box and took out a big-bellied laughing doll, its eyes closed in sleep.

So how comes that the big bellied doll laughting and sleeping at the same time? It's weird that the doll was grinning with closed eyes in sleep. The novel describled that laughing doll had crooked eyebrows and eyes, grinning and looking at him with a smile 

ALSO YES

 H19279:

 liddi:
XL: Is kissing me more frightening than death?
XY (speaking hesitantly): My brother, that is Cang Xuan. One night while we were talking, he laughed at me for being a girl who still dreams after all.
XL (coldly commanded): Continue.
XY (fake laugh): Although... the possibility is remote... I am still afraid that if I was not careful, you might enter my dreams. You... are definitely not suitable to enter a girl's dreams. That is possibly far more terrifying than death indeed.

Why do they have to make him recall this scene so much? when he prepared the arrow and now?

YES x 3

 HeadInTheClouds:
Is that about right?

Excellent summary. Nicely done. 

In the book when XL is writing the wishes he recalled when they first met. It shows how deeply he loved her that he still remembers their first meeting 100 years ago and made them come true.

Why didn't they make him recall that flashback instead of the dream line? It just make him look sulky.

 It looks like the producers want to tie it to the next scene where she wakes up from dreaming about him. It's a bit pointless at that point to show he has walked into her dreams as she is with someone and undermines the original statement where it he walked into her dream it's a fate worse than death.... But she has Jing and don't they live happily? It's very inconsistent how they show the XY -XL relationship.

@liddi 

Mega thanks for the translation especially when you are so busy. I like to know so I won't be as infuriated as I watch S2

@liddi, this is a leak of the script when XL enters Xiaoyao's room


人:小天、防风郷(相柳)、珊瑚、潇潇

△ 珊瑚、潇潇行礼退出,把门轻轻关上

珊瑚、潇潇;奴婢告退。

△小天撩开纱帘,坐到楼上, 掀开被子,露出防风绑的头

小天:(笑)没闷死吧?

△ 防风即闭着眼睛没理她。小天手搭在他胸上,为他把脉。

小天:(笑)刚才的药应该已经起作用了。(神色突变,猛地收回手)你究竟是谁? 那么好的疗伤药竟然一点效果都没有!

防风部:(睁眼,冷淡)你希望我是谁?

△小天目光复杂,默默盯了防风部一段,转过身,背对着防风邸, 满脸的荒津无奈

。小天: 你要是谁就是谁吧!

防风都:(坐了起来,冰冷的语气)我要疗伤。

△小天一脸郁闷,一声没吃。防风部靠近小天,头缓缓伏下,后就要搜到小天的脖子。小天的手挡住了。

小天:不行!

△ 防风郎一愣,脸色冰冷,立即躺了回去。小天郁闷无奈地叹了口气,背对着防风邮,把手腕递给他。

小天:咬这里。

防风郎:【冷漠不悦)为什么脖子不行?

小天:(没好气)以前我是个男人,现在能和以前一样吗? (生气)爱咬不咬!是我帮你疗伤!(恼火地一字一顿)我、帮、你!

△小天嘴里说着气话,手却没有收回来,一直伸着。防风部闷闷地拉住小天的手腕,几颗尖尖的小獠牙刺破小天的手腕,开始吸血疗伤。

(接)

△小天被吸了很多血,脸色和嘴唇都泛白,身子软靠在榻角, 晕晕沉沉地闭着眼睛。防风都停止了吸血。

防风部:(担心)小天?

小天:(虚弱地睁开眼睛没事,你多吸一点,尽快把伤治好,(话没说完,眼睛就又无力地闭上了) 回头………………回头……………我多吃一点补药就好了。

@windiaaa041293 Thank you for the leaked script.  There are inaccuracies in the OCR and this is not the full scene. Do you have the entire scene, or better still, the full S1 script?

I found it in the comments column. They posted a snippet of the script. And that's it, nothing else.

Oh I see. Can you please send me the link to the comment? Do share if you find any more of S1 script - thank you so much!

@windiaaa

I agree with what you have said, IMO XY never really wanted the bug out, breaking the spell or transfer the bug to Jing makes no difference because bottom line is she never tried to ged rid of it. Sharing the bug with XL was her safe place, she always found comfort in it, I not once got the impression that it's a burden to her. 

@liddi

Thank you for the translation, liddi. Very disappointed about everything, but it is what it is.  I can understand the big belly doll who's laughting and sleeping at the same time, probably XL's wish for XY to always dream about happy things, like that dream she had when they went underwater, but the rest of the script makes no sense to me and there are so many things I dislike that they are not even worth mention.  Jing just being a stalker, as usual, just the thought of having someone like him constantly on my back is tiresom,  I feel suffocated just reading this.

This seems to match the drama scene

 H19279:

meaning there's nothing wrong with yangzi...but the script is problematic.
They (book fans) say the production team and others are just picking up trash and throwing away diamonds.

 HeadInTheClouds:

Very well-done summary. Thank you! Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao’s Story and Romance - Page 410 - Lost You Forever - kisskh 

Then we continue with the debate:

 Kokuto:
How is the bug supposed to be transferred when they don't have the magic walnut?  There can be no transfer like the original, cause they don't have the required physical elements.

So now the same process could not be replicated by XY since there was no walnut. However, I think the disappearance of the walnut (it evaporated into sparkling dots and penetrated into XL and XY) is indication of successful planting. The walnut is the original nest for the pair of bugs. After success of planting to human bodies, the bugs found the appropriate "nest" - the lovers' hearts to live and grow. So how can anyone force the bug out of its root/base to another heart. Meaning not one heart anymore. 


 HeadInTheClouds:
Ah hah! A new piece of information to consider. With this, Xiao Yao now has an excuse as to why she didn't ask for a transfer (no excuse for Jing since he is not aware of the original process), it's because it's not an option rather than because she knew that she and Jing would not meet the condition for successful transfer/implantation.  Kokuto, you just allowed Xiao Yao and Jing to continue to play stupid ;-). Kokuto to the rescue!!!

I don't think XY even thought about the walnut. Although we can postulate why they didn't even consider a transfer. Even without the walnut maybe there is another way to do a transfer. : leave no stone unturn and all that.


 HeadInTheClouds:

 Kokuto:
I don't know exactly what she asked about the bug, but I'm not sure if it was 'break,' since XL made a point of saying, he couldn't do what she asked him before, but he could only kill them... by sacrificing his lives.
She did ask him to "break" which is why he later said that he didn't lie to her because the bond cannot be broken, the bugs can only be lured out and killed.

But the question is where do you stand on the original hypothesis:

Both XY and Jing wanted to break the bugs instead of moving the bug (which at least XL could do in the past). Maybe they both knew they are not qualified for the planting condition. 

I have checked all the scene from chapter 7 until chapter 48 about solving the bug, Tong Hua used only 2 words: 

And Mr Intelligent (Jing) had never discussed with XY about how XY and XL removed the bug from CX back then. He had never asked XY to try moving the bug from XL to himself explicitly. He arranged the meeting with XL without letting her know. He understood what the witch king said about the lovers' bug very well (as well as us). I don't think he was foolish to think that there was no love between his lover XY and XL (after decades of flowing them, and his tight holding XY on the boat because he scared she was about to jumb after XL). Therefore, he awared XY didn't love him (wholeheartedly). 

 windiaaa041293:

I would not say so: the production team exchanged diamond with trash (since this scene is their imagination). LOL

 Kokuto:
XY did have feelings for Jing when XL accepted the Love Bug.

No, she didn't have any love/ affection feeling with YQS by the time XL accepted the love bug. XY thought of YQS to accompany her when she agreed with the 15 year promise
