ok LOVERS bugs. The point remains the same. are you going to claim she and CY were romantic lovers and she was in romantic love with him? No. They had a deep profound love but she was not IN love with him.
When they lured the bug out of CX and in to XL she was not remotely IN LOVE with XL but he was at the beginning stages of falling IN love with her.
Ahe grows to feel a profound love for XL but on the show it’s not a romantic lusty love it’s still a platonic love.
Here's what might be an unpopular question but do you think Cangxuan could have become King of Xiyan without Xiaoyao's…
Actually he could not have done it without TSJ help and TSJ wouldn’t have helped if not for XY so yes you are right he could not have done it without XY.
he was not cowardly as YE Shiqi to the point that he walked right into the Chenrong Rebel Army camp and took on…
Do you understand it’s not about whether he would win or lose. The point is that he is no COWARD. He’s not your real boyfriend and this isn’t real life. RELAX and touch grass lol
ok since people replied to my previous comment about SHOW XY and XL having an unrequited romantic love relationship with “that is not true because of the love bug”
I don’t know about Novel but in the SHOW both parties do not have to be in love for the love bug to work. only the RECEIVER of the bug has to be in love. Which is why she was able to place it in CY. XY has never been in love with CY nor has SHOW XY been IN love with XL, especially not at the time XL received the bug.
I keep saying there are different kinds of love. For SHOW XL/XY there is a possibility for XY to fall in love with XL/FFB in the future under different circumstances if he was not Xiling & CY enemy but at no time in the series YET has she ever been in love with him the way she is with Jing. And the love bug is not contrary to that as evidenced by it also having been in CX.
Ah Nian and Jing are pretty similar, she wants CX, while Jing wants XY. Does CX and XY loves them? Yes, of course,…
ummmm are you watching the show because on the show it’s very clear Jing is the only one she wants to marry and spend her life with. This is an absurd comparison.
it has dawned on me that a lot of the conflict in this comment section is because of a difference between the show and the book.
Book readers and Show only watchers are getting two different versions of a story. This happens regularly with adaptations to screen so it’s nothing abnormal but it does explain a lot of the XL fandom in the comments who are living via the novel version of XL/XY which wasn’t adapted as clearly in the series version. The show version has played it much more as a one sided unrequited romantic love so people are seeing it thru different lenses.
You can empathize without agreeing. It's NOT about "infantilizing" women. No one said FFYY didn't deserve it.…
XL is presented at the beginning as a villain and does some cruel things but yes HE is a very complex multidimensional character who starts with a limited moral compass exhibiting more cruelty but his heart and conscience seemed to always understand the difference between innocent and not innocent people….. He I can find much sympathy and understanding for through the growth in his character.
FFYY acted in the way that best guaranteed her survival in a world ran by men. She displayed filial piety and…
We are literal internet strangers with anonymous accounts and I’m a LONGGGGGGG TIME MDL commenter who DOES love complex characters. No need to be so defensive. please touch grass.

yes and I disagree with the empathy and idea that she is a victim. Yes, I agree it was an injustice that she was punished so harshly in comparison to TH. That is without debate. I’m quite clear on what empathy is and I have empathy for many characters. FFYY is just not one and I find it to be infantalizing to claim she was TH victim rather than a person with her own agency who was a full and willing accomplice in evil.
FFYY acted in the way that best guaranteed her survival in a world ran by men. She displayed filial piety and…
her character arc is utter trash. This isn’t nuanced. a few episodes ago she literally wanted to MURDER JING who is a completely good innocent person and she murdered TH wife.
I see a lot of FFYY sympathy here which I find….. odd? She was perfectly fine with TH torturing TSJ and assuming him dead. She was perfectly fine manipulating him into thinking he slept with and impregnated her. She was not just perfectly fine but the MAIN one who wanted to murder him when he was sick because his death was taking too long and TH actually stopped her and said just wait for him to die. There is nothing to feel sorry for. Maybe FFYY in the book is much more nuanced with much more development but on the SHOW she is a villain with zero conscience until the very last moment she is caught. Let’s not infantilize women and remove their agency as individuals. She’s an evil immoral demoness and it serves her right that she did all that for a man who doesn’t even love her. TH is a demon but she’s no victim not of him or anyone.Billions of women choose not to become evil despite whatever circumstances they are in. she’s just a bad person period.

FFYY just did not earn that from me 🤷🏻♀️
