Ji Shi is the thing/person/concept that appears at the end of episode 22. From the character map, we see that…
Just from what we know, Ji Shi has to do with Ji Ling's loneliness.
People have said that Ji Shi is like a parasite feeding on Ji Ling’s loneliness.
Ji Shi is what appears when Ji Ling dies the first time, offering LWY the ability to rewind time to save him.
This points to the fact that Ji Shi either cares about Ji Ling and wants to keep him alive, OR, as his name suggests, needs Ji Ling alive to keep himself alive because he feeds on Ji Ling’s loneliness.
I’ve thought a lot about this, but what would cause Ji Ling to die in the first place? I don’t think he was killed off, because if that were the case, LWY could just kill the person who killed Ji Ling.
The only thing that makes sense is if Ji Ling sacrificed himself. The only thing that would make sense narratively for him to sacrifice himself is to prevent something that would kill everyone, or to save someone he loves like LWY.
So in our current timeline, LWY decides to be the one that sacrifices herself, so Ji Ling wouldn’t have to. But her action of pushing away Ji Ling ultimately triggers Ji Shi to come out because of the loneliness he feels from being abandoned by LWY.
Since we don’t know what LWY has attempted in the other 18 times she rewound time, it’s hard to say if this go-around will be resolved. Maybe this time, with JL having memories of previous timelines due to Ji Shi appearing earlier, it could be solved.
Or LWY still might not be able to prevent it and decides to go back even further in time to stop Ji Ling from ever being in the position where he has to sacrifice his life.
It’s almost like Ji Ling sacrificing himself is a fixed point at the moment, and LWY, no matter what she does, can’t change that.
Guys, this drama is driving me crazy… but I love it. I’m literally lost because how can people say Lu Wu Yi…
Yes basically, all what we seen in episode 21 and 22 that have to do with time travel, is LWY rewinding time to change fate... if you watch trailer for episode 23. Or jut aware of the original trailer you would have know who already.
Somebody please explain what that 'Being' was at the end of the episode. My brain right now 🤯🤯Please put…
Ji Shi is the thing/person/concept that appears at the end of episode 22. From the character map, we see that the Hanzi for them is 寂食, which means Jì Shí
寂 (jì) - Loneliness 食 (shí) - To eat, consume
寂食 (Jì Shí) - Literal translation is To Eat or Consume Loneliness.
Also, to note there 食 (shí) - To eat, consume, and there another Hanzi of 噬 (shì), which was not use which mean to devour, consume, bite
噬 (shì) has a more aggressive, maybe even darker connotation to it, while 食 (shí) is more neutral; maybe that speaks to the character themself.
Right now, we don't know much about them, for sure, but from their name, Ji Shi has to do with Ji Ling's loneliness. There are also some interesting implications that I won't mention yet til we learn more.
Ji Shi name breakdown! I wrote this before. Since we are here now, gonna remind people about what we can gather…

It just came to my mind rn, but does anyone know why Wu Shi Guang's surname is Wu? His foster parents are Cang…
Wu Shi Guang Wu (伍) - Just mean 5 Shi (拾) - to gather or to collect Guang (光) - light ,moments, or memory
Shi Guang (拾光) - to gather light
in the context of the story, Since he is created from the 9 dragon son reverse scale, who are basically the good guy or in a sense light. It also could mean a lot now since we all about time loop. It also very poetic that his name mean to gather moments or memory.
I think he’s the time reversal God, person thing. Why did they have to make him all albino though?
that not what I meant, the design is very rooted in Chinese mythology. I mean as I seen it in another drama or maybe game where Chinese mythology is in the forth front
He all pale and white, doesn't it look like if the moon become a person it would look like that ?

He all pale and white, doesn't it look like if the moon become a person it would look like that ?
Doesn't he look like some kind of god ? It reminds me of Night Deity from Ashes of Love or any other character with a Night or Moon theme...
It is poetic that LWY is also considered a Moon to him?
