Now I noticed in the episode orchid also seem to kiss back unlike in the earlier kisses so far.

Exactly.

The proposal scene was beautiful, really cute.

So right.

That kiss was so sweet
..full of tenderness. So different from the kisses so far. Looks like Dongfang got consciously emotionally invested in this kiss.🙂

Good theory regarding the mastery & use of hellfire.
So does this mean whenever dongfang's seven emotions are out of harmony, he loses control over hellfire?

A lot.
But this drama version of the story is beautiful & satisfactory so far.

Me too.
Worried about his hellfire though.
It's like I don't want Dongfang to stop loving orchid at the same time not lose his control over hellfire.
Looks like it'll be difficult to get both in this version of the story.
Anyway, as long as the main leads end up together, that offers some sort of small consolation for Dongfang's lost power.
But I think Dongfang has other fighting skills hidden under his sleeve apart from his hellfire.
Because he says he doesn't require hellfire to defeat or suppress the two rebel king's in his realm , if required.

Yeah, it could've been extended a bit longer.

There's potential for Xunfeng to turn out to be an anti-hero. Given his dislike for orchid, he might end up making some morally grey choices which he thinks serves the greater good of his tribe & brother or something like that.

Right.
Without a proper villian, even anti-heroes & heroes won't get the chance to shine in a romantic fantasy adventure Xianxia, I guess.🤭

In the novel, based on what I recall, isn't it the demon king who admired her as worthy opponent although he hated her guts because he thought she & her disciple had defeated him in an unfair manner?
Don't know.
Maybe whaat you say could be remotely possible. Difficult to tell...

Yup, in the book he ressurects her because he has a major role in her premature 'temporary' death.
Also, because in the book he wanted her back because he loved orchid the way she is, not because she'll be of some use to him.

Yeah, Ronghao is always smart. & quite resilient. He can endure a lot.
Noticed those aspects of his character right from the start.
And sometimes he's even more patient than Dongfang when tit comes to finding ways to rescue his beloved.

What's ALP?
I didn't understand.
No idea regarding your other question.
Anyway, now as orchid, she loves Dongfang Qingcang very much. She just hasn't admitted it openly.

I don't care about Dongfang losing his position as moon supreme that much although had he retained it , it'd would've added to his splendor & majesty.
But if he loses his hellfire, looks like half his splendor will be cut except for his newly formed good character which'll make up for his lost splendor & majesty, I guess.

I can understand why Xunfeng behaves the way he does. Maybe it's out of concern for the safety of his brother & his realm?
It's like he is blind to the 'closeness' between his brother & orchid. Maybe Xunfeng thinks his brother is forced to be friendly & close towards orchid because of the heart curse as per the explanation given by Dongfang to suppress xunfeng's suspicions.

Oh no!
I prefer happy endings compared to open endings because I hate theorizing & guessing regarding the 'uncertainty' aspect of the open ending. It's like not getting a proper closure.
Anyway, can only wait & see.
But I have my doubts whether this drama will present an open ending.
I think it might be a happy ending.

If this happens, I hope Dongfang finds a way to resurrect orchid once more somehow.

Me too worried about moon supreme losing hellfire. Looks like if that really happens, I'm going to be really sad about that aspect even if I'm happy for the two for finding love. Perhaps, there might still be a way to bypass all these complications which will be shown in future episodes.
Or maybe he may lose the post of moon supreme because of losing hellfire.
What'll happen? So difficult to guess for me.
