Can someone explain XY character development? What her arc? It feels like her character only regressing, she spend…
the character development is that she’s working through her trauma that she never got to work through as most young women do because she had to be in constant survival mode as XaioLiu. So now, she is for the first time not in constant survival mode, able to experience the highs and lows of love that girls usually go through earlier but she wasn’t able to, resolving her trust issue traumas with everyone around her……. I think people feel like she’s “regressing” because they aren’t accounting for the fact that she never got to go through ANY of this for the hundreds of years she was hiding as Xaoiliu. So people want her to be mature and hardened like XaoiLui. But the whole purpose of her getting to be XAIOYAO is to go through all the things she missed as XaioYao, answering unanswered questions, feeling love and heartbreak, being a girl/ Woman. And most of all, figuring out what will make HER happy.
what does the retired emperor mean to persuade Xiang Liu to surrender? Surrender what?
XL is the general of the remnants of the Chenrong Rebel Army. He’s asking for him to retire from leading the Army or to convince the army to surrender.
Who else thinks our girl is in love with our 9 head demon and she doesn’t know it yet
I think on her side there is enormous affection there and kinship. And there was an opportunity for her to open her heart to him as FFB when she was trying to get over Jing during their break, but even during their break, she mostly used FFB as a tool to hurt Jing or make Jing jealous. FFB was a companion, a companion she felt deep feelings for and maybe could have fallen for given time & different circumstance. XL is more complicated and I think she feels both fear and affection for him. He terrifies her but also comforts her. And she doesn’t want to fear her lover. So I think she loves him, but she’s not and never has been IN love with him. And I think he clearly knows this. And it breaks his heart. But he is at his core incredibly unselfish and willing to do everything he can to give her what she wants, even if it’s not him.
😭 there is no “Fox Signal” as evidenced by the thousands of comments. Foxers apparently got so turned off by the relentless onslaught against any YaoJing storylines they just left to go to the message board to have peace. im not a Foxer or a Snaker. I’m literally just a XaoYaoer who would love a comment section that had more balance and maturity 🤷🏻♀️
people complain about scene changes from the originals.
here is one that was butchered.
CX 3rd wheeling in the moment which was suppose to be Jing & XY’’s on the spiderweb alone but was changed to all 3 if them together looking at the meteor shower.
It's also such hypocrisy from Jing and XY, who both doesn't care about Jing adoptive son at allNo matter what…
yes I watched and she specifically says that they left her for dead because people wanted to kill hunt her down. that she was hunted and had to change her appearance to the point she forgot her face and then caged and tortured for 30 years. she literally says all this in the episode. it’s not just that they died. it’s that they left her completely vulnerable because of her origins of being Chi Chens child.
