Sorry, I fixed it to "consider" marrying him. Although she expressed that she didn't like Yuan Qi but she wasn't against the idea of marrying him whenever her father brought it up versus that one time her father proposed that she marry that other guy from something sea, too.

I agree. I don't see anything wrong with a SFL liking the ML either if the story is well written and not for the sake of just adding more drama. 😂

Watch the entire drama first, let A Jiu show his side. 😙 A Jiu has never done anything that obsessive to show us that he's deeply in love with A Yin. Yes, he adores her, but he has never played the serious third party or gotten in the way of A Jin and A Yin; just from that, one can deduce that the relationship between A Jiu and A Yin are so much more than just romantic feelings. They're super awesome friends. A Jiu has risked his life to save everyone at one point, not just A Yin.

It's harder for A Jiu to realize his feelings for Yan Shuang because for one, he and Yan Shuang are always at odds, two, A Yin was their connecting link but after she passed, they remained sort of awkward but good friends, three, Yan Shuang was there when A Jiu liked A Yin, so it's not a smooth transition from one friend to another especially when one has passed on knowing how much they both value A Yin's feelings, four, they're both stubborn and have the worst assumptions, five, A Jiu still has a lot of guilt from A Yin in his heart, so he's not ready to even begin realizing anything for anyone. Yan Shuang doesn't see anything; she's just assuming. Sometimes, people realize their feelings a bit late when things change and that's okay.

I think if we see A Jiu mourning for A Yin for over a thousand years but had no part in her death, then yes, I'd say, he truly loves her just like Yuan Qi. But no, A Jiu killed when A Yin released him to find out the truth which led to her taking responsibility for his actions with her life. It was Yuan Qi who searched all three realms and nine levels, made so many sacrifices in between, all for A Yin. He's the one who can't live without A Yin. They make it pretty clear how both men handle the loss of A Yin. The story is really good at showing that it's not guilt that Yuan Qi is still searching for A Yin. It's true love. All his actions from Episodes 2 to 40 shows that. A Jiu may be friends with Yan Shuang but how can a man mourning for his wife like you said keep another female next to him like that, just the two of them alone in that cottage for over a thousand years? Yuan Qi was busy proactively searing for A Yin all alone, waited for her in Youming realm the entire time hoping to not miss her. And I love the parallels again in here when A Yin meets with Wu Gui in Episode 29. In that convo, A Yin assumes that Yuan Qi doesn't truly love A Yin and has been holding on because of guilt. That's the exact opposite of Yuan Qi and the exact sentiments of A Jiu, as he explains later.

Anyway, if you still feel like A Jiu is settling for Yan Shuang after watching the entire drama, then I respect your take. We're all going to see different things. 😉

So I was wondering...I'm not sure about the novel but from the drama, I'm going to say, although Hua Shu denies liking Gu Jin/Yuan Qi, I feel as if she does like him. She surely likes him enough to consider marrying him a few times. He's the only one she wants to "use" constantly. She's so possessive of him. Actually, she ends up hating A Yin so much because of him. She's so jealous over him. She was never purely in love with just Lan Feng. In the end, she was able to let Yuan Qi go because she realized no one loved her as much as Lan Feng. But I'm sure that if Yuan Qi had agreed to marry her and treated her nicely, she'd forget Lan Feng in a heartbeat. 😂 That's just my take.

I like it that they didn't have Hua Shu be crazily in love with Yuan Qi. Having one love triangle for A Yin is enough, no need for any on the Yuan Qi's side, too. It's a waste of time and not necessary to move the plot along or bring more value to Yuan Qi. Even if it's only A Yin who loves Yuan Qi in the world, Yuan Qi is the most precious ML ever.

Actually, if you've watched Episode 15, at the beginning, A Jiu already gave up on pursuing A Yin romantically. He knows A Yin will only ever love A Jin, so he'll just keep her company as a friend. Everything from that point onwards, the care and love he gives A Yin is that of a true friend. He feels guilt, regret, and in debt to A Yin for over a thousand years because in a way, she saved him but he was one of the causes of her death. It's not love and he'll explain a bit of that later on, too. Don't give up hope on these two yet. A Jiu is VERY slow to his feelings for Yan Shuang because it's a slow but steady type of love from friends to lovers. I've always been cheering Yan Shuang on! She deserves her A Jiu, her happiness. She's soooo awesome!

I believe Yuan Qi when he said he wouldn't have let Hua Shu lived if it wasn't for Lan Feng's sake because our boy here killed Qing Lin. He didn't even care to imprison her anymore for causing A Yin's death, he straight out killed her. He wasn't even going to risk bargaining to find out who her spies were. He was like, "You're DONE!"

Yeah, it's not that low. 😙

Yuppp, that's a review. Post it so your thoughts on the drama doesn't get lost with the comments.

Yup, those are all the characters I enjoyed too. Ming Qi was so badass in a calming way. He messed with people's minds versus physically.

Xiu Yan and Ao Ge's story was soooo touching.

And Yuan Qi...can't praise him enough. People are so used to overreacting faces that they call WAY's acting through the eyes weak. 😂

After watching quite a few xianxias, immortals and even true gods aren't perfect, all powerful, or know everything. If that was the case, there'd be no story and that's all of them, not just this drama. Immortals and gods are just like humans. They're basic thinkers, selfish, evil, greedy, prideful, hateful, and scheming but the only differences are, they live longer and have powers which means they can hide better, do more evil, and manipulate the situation or people easier.

Hong Ruo went undetected for so long because Qing Lin secluded herself after the possession. Lin Mo hadn't been close to Hong Ruo in hundreds of years and Hong Yi never cared to know his aunt, so even if they suspected something, it was hard to say.

Don't trust the ratings but trust ZLS if you're her fan. She believes she and WAY are perfect for the roles. There must be a good reason she chose this project whether you can see it now or maybe agree with her years later, give it a try at least. Ratings are just numbers in the end, don't follow the trend and set your own opinions. I wouldn't have watched it and enjoyed it this much if I listened to some really close friends who didn't like it. Everyone is different.🥰

I'm so happy for TLI and ZLS for reaching new and awesome heights, a bit sad for WAY that he's not getting as much love when I can't imagine anyone else but him as YQ but it's all good. He's gotten really good exposure from this project and the depth that he gave YQ was very memorable. He knew he'd be hated in for such a role. 😂🥲 I LOVE and appreciate ZLS and WAY's friendship. In a way, I'm glad there's no heavy CP or else it'll become more toxic than this and then they'll never want to work together again or be weird in public events. 😅 I want them to be friends for a long time, sort of like this drama, slowly but surely move towards romance later on when they're ready. Hahahha! ❤️

Netflix is my sign that this drama is doing even better than I thought. 🥳

So proud!

For reals! 😭

I honestly didn't think it'd happen but yeahh! Hopefully, the US is added soon!🥳

I hope that's true.

SML loves the FL but it doesn't get in the way. He eventually becomes a great friend, only.

The heavenly empress is the first fire Phoenix who is still alive when the FL is born which isn't supposed to happen. By heavenly rules, a second fire Phoenix can't be born unless the first one dies.

None, really. There's not a strong love triangle or rectangle.

It all makes sense the way you explain it. Honestly, people just love to insult TLI when the xianxia logic is the same as their favorites. Hate doesn't come with reasons. 😂
