THIS!! This latest arc felt so choppy TT They have cut out so many important scenes that could help us connect and understand the overall picture better...Like I am all for the viwers exercizing their brains a bit and not getting spoon fed everything but this is too much...At this point it's like solving a puzzle and taking guesses on what convo went down bts between the characters for their current actions...

I left this marinate until now but I couldn't hold back anymore and started it yesterday!!
I am currently up to ep 13 and what a pleasant surprise this was cause so far I am loving it!! ><

But I have a question below for those who have caught up to the latest eps or are novel readers!^^

Duan Wu and Yan Zi Jing have finally talked and opened their hearts to each other about their pasts...Does that mean that their romance is about to begin from here on? Also, will there be any big misunderstandings between the two at any future point that will lead to their separation/rift in their relationship? (I always hate that trope where one or both leads let misunderstandings break their bond and SML suddenly gets the spotlight and the leads separate until solving their issues etc. So I need time to prepare cause my frustration can rise quickly TT)

So in this ep we got the Marquis to summon Mu Sheng and reveal to him that they are indeed half-siblings (like most viewers were already speculating from all the clues) BUT what triggered him to do that and how could he so easily connect Mu Shengs background without even asking him? Cause the only thing the Marquis knew was that flashback of young Mu Sheng trying to hurt his father in their residence...Except if miaomiao realized their sibling relationship and told the Marquis everything she knew?
But still, this whole bracelet arc has been so choppy and leaves out many scenes, letting the audience draw their own conclusions about the conversations the characters "probably" had already!
Btw the current revelations also mean that Mu Sheng's human half comes from his father (the Marquis) and so his mother is the demon! However for him to be accepted by the crescent weapon Fuyi said that the owner's fam should have a demon catcher background and weld such skills...And from the cast intro, his mother's surname is Mu? But how is it possible for her to be a demon tho?
Also Miaomiao resembles the first Mu ancestor so much and they even have the same rainbow cores(after her awakening)! But the crescent weapon recocnized Mu sheng as the owner...And about the prophecy...What if both Musheng and miaomiao are needed to complete it?

I am watching the new ep rn and for some reason, the last couple of eps keep getting more choppy 😭

Further explanation below tagged as spoiler... If you have read the novel/manhua I don't mind spoilers, I just need some answers ><

I mean I wouldn't blame her...She basically sees them everyday and they feel like real human...Her close family in real life seems to also not be with her anymore and she just lives a hectic adult city life...Plus she has grown emotionally attached to the characters (esp Mu Sheng)...But I am sure the system will " wake her up".

Oh I guess that's a way you could put it! I do understand it better now tho I think it's a matter of us still missing part of the puzzle...Thanks for your insight tho!

OMG!! So it's the mother who has the cultivator/magic skills background okay!! But based on the past few eps weren't they trying to hint that his mother was a demon from Qilin mountain?? Or was that a smoke screen and it will end up being his father who's the demon?? Cause if his mother comes from Mu fam (family of demon slayers) she can't be a demon obv...Anyway, thanks for the info! Hopefully, upcoming eps will solve the mystery^^

Yes I have realized that part now...But there are still reasons that make him no-qualified...He is a half demon and that powerful crescent weapon is supposed to eliminate demons...Also in today's ep Fuyi said that even tho it wasn't the Mu fam it would have to be someone with aencestord who practiced such skills...But since Mu sheng's family tree is not clear I guess 1 of his parents might have such a background.

Yeah...I really hope things will start clearing soon >< As for Miaomiao's striking resemblance to the Mu ancestor makes me think of her mom...Maybe there is some relation to the Mu family from her mother's side? And yes Mu Sheng's family tree is so complicated still TT I mean based on the flashbacks and bits we know so far we can speculate that his mother was the demon right? So that leaves his father to be the human...But with the whole bracelet plotline, it made me think the father was probs the marquis? But I guess that might not be the case now and someone else with a cultivation background is the dad?

Okay but still Mu sheng is a half demon and so that weapon shouldn't be compatible with him right? Also even if it doesn't have to be the Mu family didn't they say that their family has to hail from caltivators or smth like that in today's ep? Cause before miaomiao tried they were surprised and Fu yi mentioned smth about coming from a family who had practised skills ...Since Mu Sheng is adopted that means Mu fam aren't his ancestors so which fam with history is he coming from?

I also wish there were more eps..I can't see why they didn't use more when the limit is 40 eps based on the current regulations TT

Oh, maybe. But then again, the weapon was drawn on the scroll with the Mu ancestor, and the Mu family are demon slayers. Based on Mu Yao's words, within the Mu family, it was known that the weapon belonged to their family and was used to kill demons. But yeah, let's hope they can wrap this up in detail later.

As of now, we know that Mu Sheng is half-demon and that his mother was probably the demon parent and his father the human?
However we also know he was later adopted by the Mu family and he has no blood relation to Mu yao & the Mu family right so no known family of his has practiced as caltivator?
So how was he the one who inherited the crescent weapon? And wasn't that weapon supposed to eliminate demons? So how can he as half demon be the chosen one? Also, the Mu ancestor and og owner of the crescent weapon shown on the scroll is the spitting image of Miaomiao...

I have watched up to today's ep and now I am kinda confused about the crescent weapon owership...

My question will be tagged as a spoiler below...

On ep 21 we learn that the reason the father forgot was caused by the dowager(his sister) who used the memory forgeting spell on him to severe his love for the demon/witch living on Qilin mountain...As for the bracelet...It really doen't make sense for it to be an enchanted object as a love token...I think there might be more to it...

Oh I was hoping for a kiss too...But like even with no kiss as long as they at least had a proper talk shown i would be still satisfied...

Same here...Like they really half-assed it here...I was waiting for them to finally have a heart-to-heart talk but they didn't show it to us...Really hoping for compensation!

They really robbed us in their reunion scene...I mean it was nice and emotional but still lacking compared to all the build up from the previous 2 eps 😭
I was waiting for miaomiao to explain to mu sheng about the bracelet and for them to profess their love for eo...Idk why they had to cut the scene so short huhu

The Dowager was adopted by the Zhao family, so they are not related by blood! But yeah, relationship-wise, the Dowager is his aunt, and Roshi & Duan Yang are first cousins.
However, even if they were blood-related, the union of cousins wasn't frowned upon back then so it wouldn't be weird either way...

Guys...Based on ep 19 & 20 (currently watching so idk if it's already mentioned in the ep) I have some speculations about Mu Sheng's parents....


They showed us a memory of the marquis seeing the young Mu Sheng and his father before he became part of the Mu family...And on today's ep we heard that momo tell the marquis that the wooden bracelet which his father held so dearly was given to him by a "witch"(tho in the drama it was said that the bracelet came from a goddess's hair) from the Qilin mountains (where Mu sheng used to live with his mother based on his flashbacks)...
So what if the marquis's father is also mu sheng's bio dad and his mother is the supernatural being(goddess/witch/demon)?

Edit: And rn they mentioned that young Mu Sheng was considered the marquis's assassin cause he was spotted in the residence when the marquis died??(I guess this is where ruoshi's flashback was from about the young musheng...)

So interesting...
