Oh ok.
Some of the things that you said I was able to comprehend on my own.
Some other details are new to me. I didn't perceive it that way.

I see.
So what I need to clarify is was Xi Yun kissing Tai Sui to awaken Dongfang who was in a trance?

Yup

So are u saying that Tai Sui was in a trance? Then why did Tai Sui shout once in between?
And why did he, as you said, evacuate his own power from dongfang's body?

Can someone tell me why Tai Sui didn't resist when goddess Xi Yun kissed him in episode 36 the first time, in the midst of the battle? Wasn't he afraid of Dongfang taking over control over the mind & body?

Yup

I love that melody too.

Give it a try when you can.
The ending is happy.

Yes, when the male lead was about to give up he really thought the goddess & orchid were two different people, but then she accidentally reveals one of the traits of her past self when she tries to make dongfang smile before he leaves. That made him realize that little orchid & goddess Xi yun are one now.
For me, this moment was not 100% satisfactory to watch but at least it was a lot better than all the depressing moments & scenes I forced myself to watch in episode 33 & episode 34.
So I felt a bit pleased with this new development in ep 35.

Also, the male lead at first was okay with making goddess fall in love with him all over again if she really lost her memories. But the problem is the goddess kept avoiding him & pushing him away as if he was bothering him. So, he didn't want to force her I guess because he also realized he was more in love with the little orchid version of the goddess.

By that time , he was already under the assumption that goddess Xi Yun had deliberately given up her little Orchid side & never identified herself with her past self or gave any importance to their love in the past.
So, he was ready to give up & go back.
I mean, he gave up on expecting the goddess to love him & not marry the second male lead.
Yet, he still never gave up on loving little orchid & the love they shared in the past. So, he goes & ties the lovers' locks on the bridge by himself because he believes that doing this somehow will make him feel as if he was never separated from little orchid although he knows she's gone now.
That's when he asks the goddess if she's willing to tie or hang the lock with him on behalf of Orchid. But the goddess deliberately refuses saying it's all meaningless & makes no sense to her or something like that. That kind of response sounded so cold to me.
I found that scene really heartwrenching to watch. I wish the dialogues & responses of the goddess towards dongfang in that scene were written differently.


And after this, he tells the goddess that he's about to leave. But the goddess gives herself away when she tries to make him smile. That makes Dongfang realize that she was pretending all alone.
So he cancels his plans to go back to his realm & instead decides to change the fate of goddess Xi Yun because now he knows she is both orchid & goddess at the same time.

Yes, Ronghao's story had a kind of satisfactory ending. It was better than I expected --- better than his story in the original novel too.

Absolutely right.

Yes, that's true, but she did say something harsh in the bridge scene in episode 35 or 36 to deliberately make the male lead give up hope.

I guess, this is the second person.
I saw someone else's comment expressing her wish for a sad ending.🤣

You are welcome.
Actually, I have mixed reactions about what happens in episode 33 & ep 34.
As you said, the main leads never intentionally hurt each other for a bigger cause.
Yet, in episodes, 33 & 34, the female lead deliberately pretends to be really, really cold to the male lead to make him t hink her past self isn't there with her, and to deliberately make him detached from her so that the male lead can easily, smoothly move on when she dies to save the three realms.
Now those scenes were a bit frustrating & torturous to watch especially after watching the consistent rule of "We'll keep no secrets and we'll face everything together" rule followed by the main leads from ep 1-29 getting bent or broken.

I think the male lead falls for the female lead first, but he is never shown admitting that fact to himself, especially in the initial half of the series. The male lead always takes the initiative to express his care , concern, and desire to be with the female lead especially in the first half of the series, and in the first initial 15 episodes, he always acts surprised when he realizes he's doing something to the female lead like subconsciously grabbing her shoulders out of concern , or caring for her when he learns she's sick etc which his sane, logical mind would never even dream of doing that to others.


The male lead never pushes away the female lead overtly. Even in times of severe danger & crisis, his mind has this hidden hope or desire to be with her.

But in episode 35, the male lead decides to hide his mission to sacrifice his body in order to kill an ancient evil god. He might most probably die if no one is there to save him. He does this in the hope of changing the fate of the female lead who otherwise, would've sacrificed her life while trying to seal the evil god for the safety of all realms.
Btw, the male lead comes to know about this mission of the female lead indirectly. She also does her best to hide it from him.


So in episode 35, the male lead just leaves the female lead without an explanation after giving her a farewell kiss, and the female lead goes ahead with her planned wedding to the second male lead(which though only in name I think, is part of her plan to awaken the power of second male lead as well as hers to kill or seal the evil ancient god ).
So, it's basically like the main leads give a farewell kiss to each other and just leave each other ( though they are very sad about it) to carry out their respective big, risky noble missions to save the world as well as save their beloved. They just bid farewell without any communication or explanation at all. And she's in the dark about his plans. And each one thinks s/he will save the other by doing this. That was really frustrating & tormentous to watch.
I just wish the script writers had written a different solution or approach using which the main leads can confront the evil god together without sacrificing their love for each other.
However, after 500 years, the main leads reunite in the finale episode after the female lead manages to nurture and revive (a fragment of, I think, not sure ) the male lead's primordial spirit.
This happened because the female lead chooses to believe in wonders. That's how it's shown.

Does anyone know where to download the photo stills of the main male lead actor with silvery white hair, wearing a loose black costume when he appears as Tai Sui in episode 36 ?

So true.

Yup. Same thoughts.

Sweet.
Need an epilogue -like episode focusing on the main leads.
