Dumbest female character ever. Tong Hua really woke up one day and said: "let me see how much of dum-dum character I can create and even make people feel sorry for her".

She kind of felt like a self-insert character when she was still Wen Xiaoliu but then everything changed when she became the princess.

XY you

me every time she did something I didn't like *sigh*

 nathsketch:
Not me though. Tired of feeling sorry for that dummy.

Gotta go buy more marshmallows.
 Kokuto:

I'm surprised you guys have any eyebrows left after the roasting. lol

I definitely don't say that sort of thing... certainly not about XL / FFB.  He's living rent free in my dreams.

I'm never going to feel tired roasting those characters especially that darned fox :)

 MySiFeng:

To all their intimate scenes...


Weird that during my 1st watch, i was so indifferent.
Now, in all their scenes, I'll be wondering what's XL is feeling right then and i pity him.

I can't rewatch the show the same now every time XY & that fox have scenes together....... poor Xiang Liu.

 luv2bafangurl:
yes, me too. I want to rewatch the LFY to catch all the the details I was missing before but I really don‘t have the stomach to watch XY-TSJ scenes knowing that XL feels everything ???

Precisely. It makes me sick just thinking about it.

 HeadInTheClouds:
It's the second one :-)

I haven't read the first one. Dealing with the google translate is going to be a challenge.

I've read the second one. It's a bit odd reading stories about these characters in English, to be honest. And I don't think the author managed to capture the character really well so it doesn't read like XL. Look at me critiquing fanfiction: "He's not XL enough to tempt me!" :-)

Such a late reply but I just read the second one. I agree with what you said. Honestly, everyone was out of character and XL didn't seem like himself at all.

I was in disbelief reading XY easily getting past those guards at the beginning. They let her through just like that? And her grandfather let her marry XL if he disguised himself as FFB and Cang Xuan didn't stop it?

Gosh, I'm so harsh critiquing fanfic lol (it's just my opinion ^^"). But it's nice to see more English fanfic writers for LYF :)

My favorite fanfic so far is still https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/555723806

And I started to read this one, it's an AU with Xiao Yao (when she was still Xiao Liu) leaving days before Cang Xuan could capture her https://archiveofourown.org/works/49991599/chapters/126221257

I know I'm crazy, but I'm kind of saving this one for when I'm able to read it in its original version :)

Such a clown, I know.

Oh, interesting!

 Elise:

He definitely didn't. But the question is: do y'all think he could do the stuff we think he can do?

Asking for a friend lmao

The first gif \O/ you found the perfect opportunity to use it!!

It's sad. It's all sad and depressingly frustrating :/

 nathsketch:
Oh, interesting!

In this fanfic, Xiang Liu shows up sometimes in his female form, Miss Liu lol.

 nathsketch:
He definitely didn't. But the question is: do y'all think he could do the stuff we think he can do?

He was FFB for hundreds of years before he met XY and was known to be a playboy. He visited those dance halls and brothels soooo....... yes, he knows how to do that stuff.

It's so depressing but I can't leave XL and this story. I'm still here!!!

 Kokuto:

No, it's not one person, it's BOTH people.  The Lovers Bug turns into the Heartbreak Bug.  That's why XL recites the poem when he kills the Poison Love Bug.

 'The sycamore trees on the ground will grow old intertwined, the jian birds in the sky will not fly alone, the mandarin ducks in the water will die together.' 

I yell alot at XY and at this point, I don't care if she ends with XL, but she's definitely part of his story.  I still love seeing them together.

Well in that if XY really loved Jing she and XL would have been dead but as far as we know it has not happened. So what if XY was just faking it

 Liu Yifei:

I never really got this. Even with all those lengthy analyses on our Harvard thread, this seems so difficult to understand. I think it all comes down to her being able to love two people. But I'm petty and I dislike this :D

 nathsketch:
Yeah, I'm whatever about XY. Though her carelessness with Xiang Liu's life makes me loathe her.

I just wish that Jing dude could be obliterated from the face of the Earth. Just keep XY single. That's very empowering. Go travel the world alone. Find some Italian or French dude to have an affair with.

Just not that fox.

He irks me.

His smile irks me.

His little cute GPS fox irks me.

His stalker-ish vibe irks me.

Actually, even his breathing irks me. It's a waste of oxygen.

Him being alive while Xiang Liu isn't irks me.

I don't like to be irked.

*drops mic*

Oh dear! Do we need to practice some deep breathing again, nathsketch?

I can see that Jing had reached "bitch, eating crackers" level with you :-)

Is that about right?

 HeadInTheClouds:

No he really deserves all the hate that's showered on him. He is the most manipulating and cunning character ever and boring too. He is the most horrible character I have ever seen

Hahahahahahahahahahaha that's 100% right. That lil' bitch with his lil' bitch attitude has reached all my irk levels. I don't ever want to see him eating crackers or I'll split him in half hahahaha

On the other hand, this dude can do whatever he wants and I'll still cheer him on like a proud mom at soccer practice:

LOOK AT HIM.

 Liu Yifei:

It's so odd to have a manipulating character also be boring. That's an abomination. Not even his manipulating side can make him interesting ahahahaha
