Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao’s Story and Romance

 MountainPine:

but I don't know how to add pictures).

You can only add pictures if they are hosted somewhere.  You click on that third icon on the second row.  The one that looks like a moon over mountains in a rectangle.  If you hover on the icon, it will tell you want it does.  In the pop up window, paste the link to image, then click insert.

 MountainPine:

Thank you so much for taking your time to explain it to me! 

Happy to help.  The site doesn't explain a lot here, so feel free to ask.  I'm still trying to figure out  to do a table with pictures that link to a show, like folks do for many of the yearly 'clubs.'  I have too many projects and plans.  lol

 MountainPine:

But when she replies with the same... Isn't that an open declaration that she knows who he is? Will you give up everything for me? Translation: "I know you are Xiang Liu. Period. Will you leave your adopted father, your army, and your struggle for me?"

I think it works on both levels, for both XL and FFB.  Like you said, she could have been telling him that she knew he was XL, and seeing if he would give up everything you mentioned too.  An IF response.  In that way, it definitely was one of those 'What If?' moments.

But in the drama, she also says out loud what FFB would have to give up for her, his carefree life without responsibility, his social status, and his alleged women.  lol  But for both of them, a carefree life is a major deal and something of value.  Is it not what both of them desire?  A life without responsibility and duty?

With my little brain  I still find it hard to remember what happened in the novel and what in the series. But those videos from another Ukrainian fan help a bit. There is a new episode, by the way:

(there is not many Ukrainian fans of LYF at the moment, but I am so proud of them :)

Oh, I know this account!  I've watched quite a few of their FMV and this series about the differences between the novel and drama.  I didn't know they were from Ukraine.

 MountainPine:

Wow! It works for me on my laptop (and it didn't work on my phone). Thank you once more for patiently explaining it to me.

NP.  Ah, yes.  I don't do anything on my phone, cause my fingers are much bigger than the keyboard and I have most of my references on the laptop.  Plus, as you said, I don't think the MDL app has all the "features."

I am soooooooo happy that you watch that Ukrainian girl's videos! She  lives in Germany at the moment, but she is Ukrainian girl. And she promises there will be much more videos about the differences and also she plans videos about other Tan Jianci's projects.

 MountainPine:

- Because I felt pity for her. She could not let me go (wanted to be with him, loved him before the injury and after)...

And it took him years to realize he actually never loved her. Eventually he cheated on her and this was one of reasons they divorced.

Wow.  That's ... a mess all around.  I'm not sure if pity is truly his reasoning, given he didn't divorce her before he cheated on her or when he needed her, though I do agree, it does NOT bode well for any romantic relationship based on that.

Oh, cool.  I'd love to see her tackle some Tan Jian Ci's other projects too.

Also, if this is allowed in this discussion, I want to share a beautiful and profound Chinese fanfiction. I have no opportunity to read all the chapters 😭 because unable to register on Chinese site, and have noone in China who would send me direct links, and I suffer BADLY 💔 because of that... but chapters I have read - in my humble opinion, it's worth your time and makes you to look at the characters with a fresh look and from a different angle. If someone here have access to Chinese sites, here it is:

Hmmm.  It only opened to a Lofter (whatever that is) login page for me.  But yes, it is hard for us International fans, without the Chinese credentials.  :(   Maybe someone can access and share another link with us.

I'll also post it in the Fan Fiction topic.

interesting AU premise with Xiao Yao actually returning to Jade Mountain and going back to Gao Xin, growing up with Cang Xuan and going to Qingshui Town disguised as Wen Xiao Liu to be a spy against the Shen Nong resistance army.

So, IOW, the premise is that Xiang Liu was right, WXL was indeed a spy against his army.  LOL!
