So to tie me over between episodes, I went and read the novel (link is above in the discussion topics). The translator did a great job translating. I highly recommend reading it if you’re loving the drama and don’t mind spoilers.
My thoughts having read the novel over the past 4 days is TSJ is my first choice for XY but XL is my favourite character (maybe of all time or at least close to the top of my xianxia list).
Why was the father so sure that wen XiaoLiu is Xiao Yao? Even before she got to the palace
They didn’t mention it in the drama but in the book it was because he couldn’t see her real form which only some powerful like the weapon inside her could conceal her true form from him.
I love that her dad goes full on dad mode and reminding TSJ that he has an engagement with FFYY. I felt like that was his warning to not mess with his daughter when you’re a taken man.
The writer is the women who wrote bu bu jiang xin?No wonder the fl has so many potential love interests.It's the…
Yes it’s definitely great. I really liked the Korean version too. I think mainly because ost was more modern and the series was more condensed but the original told the story better.
I’m over halfway through the novel and his dad and her mom are siblings. Is that not the case? Then why do they…
But there’s no romance between them. And lots of XX dramas have a cousin in love with a lead that doesn’t reciprocate the feelings.
She also referred to same grandmother and grandfather as CX.
I felt like the reason her mother left for war was her obligation to the people as a princess. If she was some random disciple of the empress then she really left XY for nothing.
wait so he's gonna harm her again....even after knowing the truth? I have never liked CX tbh. Still don't understand…
She knew that he was doing it. But she was never delusional. She saw his cruelty early on so it’s not like he was ever on her romantic list. He was her brother who had ambitions to be king and unite the lands and she chose to support him in realizing those ambitions.
I think where it fell off the rails for me was when he claimed to like her and killed TSJ. That was definitely not what she signed up for and that was when he made it to the top of the toxicity meter.
No its more complicated...But I can assure you that you won't find any annoying triangle in here...There's 4 ml…
I could see XL being a close second. But I think she only ever sees him as her best friend. He’s always around and comes to rescue her. Spends time with her and doesn’t impose on her freedom. She sees them as having a similar traumatic childhood. I would say there’s no person he cares about more than her but he has a sense of filial piety to the general that raised him and loyalty to his army so he chooses to die with them.
