Death by a thousand cuts

Showing of hands, those who've been in this kind of non relationship.

The attraction was just fire, magnetic and you know you shouldn't, but nothing matters when they're THAT close.
Sometimes it's just about how it feels, not the longevity.

Sometimes it's just about beautiful you, not for how long you're mine.

Two other dramas, with great relationship between the leads.
Five to Nine, and The Long Ballad.
One Japanese, one Chinese.

We're not talking about how they mirror each other, but we're talking the purity of love between leads, and how when it's right, it's right.
Your willingness to make it work, at any cost, rises to unexpected heights and you don't willfully misunderstand each other.

Ep six, I had tears streaming down my face AND I was laughing uncontrollably at the same time.
These two women!
This poor guys face!


Five to Nine, made me realise how ridiculously difficult, it can be to get to the point of marriage.
The Long Ballad, taught me that TRADITIONAL marriage is just ceremony.
Shanai Marriage Honey, taught me to believe in marriage again.

Also, connecting the 3 male leads,
bring a spoon
because they're all a DISH!

ALP is now out.

If it was, he would be billed first, but he's billed third ML.

Although CGI is excellent, and acting is good enough, storywise Twin Cities or Novoland Pearl Eclipse, may end up better.
I like this drama, but I' not hyped.
I' as of right now, 14 eps in.

She isn't inherently evil, she has an inferiority complex, which stems fro er tribes social structure, which is based upon power.
If you aren't special, you're treated badly, scorned openly.
She's just a colourful Phoenix, after all.

Even after being taken in by FL, the servants mock her, even after running the FL's branch in the Heavens, for 1000 years, her tribe still mocks her.

It seems social status implies how bullied you'll be, for that lifetime.

She has no sense of self, she thinks shes with FL as a mistake, as a temporary fleeting thing.

These kind of people are ultimately very dangerous.

People who kill, usually have inferiority complex, she doesn't realise, that she was always good enough, just as she is.

I'm glad that I refreshed the page accidentally, as I saw your spoiler has ep14 spoilers and not ep13!
Don't open MK's spoiler, unless you've seen ep 14.

ML and FL went to the cliff where FL was born, and he saw a vision of her fighting and dying? He then requested that nobody be allowed access to this place.
I believe he wanted to stop other God's from seeing this vision.
ML then accelerated her training, told her to enter the demons realm to become the Chaos God.

1000 years passes, and ML guards this cliff very badly, especially as he said he would personally stand guard. Because we know he's astral projecting most of this time.

I believe TQ visited this place, he is a naughty boy, and may have seen this vision.
He WOULD end the world and the realms, for HER.
He would strive to become the strongest, and fight away the darkness, for HER.
He would do the whackadoo stupid, for her.

This is the age old, trying to save someone by changing the parameters completely, hoping to prevent an event, but their meddling is in fact what causes the event to unfold in the first place.

So, I'm on ep13 and I have a speculation on TQ and why.

BaiQian was a beauty, of a similar story. Not this FL, however.

I thought about this yesterday, it could be a Roc, legendary bird, but I can't recall it being said yet.
I just remember Roc being mentioned between him and TQ.
Peng (鹏 péng) – also known as the Kunpeng (鲲鹏) or Golden-winged Great Peng (金翅大鹏). An unfathomably gigantic bird which transforms from a fish. Just by spreading its wings, it can shroud the heavens. And with a single flap, it can travel vast distances. [Picture]

The fish is the Kun, the bird is the Peng, and together they are called the Kunpeng.
The Peng is often conflated with the Roc and the Garuda – two other gigantic, mythical birds of prey.

I guess we will see! So far it’s speculation. I guess it depends on if it’s a Tribulation or not. A trial that forces them to reincarnate as human, for 9 lifetimes until they earn their way back into the Heavens. Sometimes it’s just 1 human lifetime. It seems Primordial Gods return as the missing God, after x amount of years, could indicate it takes that long for the soul to gather itself, or maybe they have to go through a Tribulation.

This guy looks like Leo Wu’s little bro, in Ancient Love Poetry.

Yes, which is why they’re chosen as the God of Chaos, Boss God, familiar. It’s always the Strongest Phoenix job, to accompany the King/Queen of the Gods.
Three legendary beasts are Phoenix, Quilin/Qilin, Dragon. Each of the 4 Primordial Gods has one of these next to them

Difference is not only power, but there’s a differentiation in triggering rebirth and being killed, for a Phoenix. Triggering rebirth makes them stronger, but being murdered is being murdered.
Primordial god does by sacrifice or whatnot, a new God springs out from the earth, somewhere, after x amount of thousand years. Previous Chaos God even had time to choose FLs Phoenix companion.

Often in these kinds of worlds, Immortal insinuates that you're maybe 1000 years old, little older, but you will eventually break down and die, kind of thing.
Cultivators cultivate to reach this Immortality, it's immortality by human stretch of the mind.
Immortals strive to be God status, a God may live for a couple of hundred thousand years or so.

These Primordial Gods that birthed the Universe, they are essential and must exist, so they are I reborn, wiped of memories, maybe a change of identity, but born with Uber God potential.

Everything in these universes have reincarnations, some say nine? some many more. The Primordial reincarnations are different, they will always be reborn with this Primordial God potential.

It's kinda like Night Immortal and Yang Zi's characters, she was promised to him upon her birth.
This guy feels himself to be excellent, so when she was born, and a girl, he wanted to raise her as his perfect partner. He insinuates this.
Who else is good enough for her?
Who else is good enough for him?

It's...yeah

Wasn't he a child sixty thousand years ago?
The 4 primordial gods are of different ages, because they are eternal, and can die if they sacrifice themselves, it seems, when reborn, they start over memory-wise.
The important thing here is, shes 10k years old, she's an adult.
She was raised with the other two, as her parents or uncles, but has never met ML, as he's been cultivating since her previous reincarnation as God of Chaos sacrificed himself, then was reborn as her.
The 4 OG Gods, are Eternal, not just immortal.

They are the reincarnations of the primordial Gods of creation. Those necessary to make LIFE and Universe function.
They are true immortals, they will live impossibly long, longer than Gods and Immortals, but they CAN die, and when they do, another is 'born'.
There are only ever 4 of these Primordial Gods.

She's the head honcho, the boss off the Universe reincarnation. She's the youngest, at 10k years old.

Then you have normal Gods, like Goddess of Seasons etc, then below them are immortals and other cultivators.

I guard against systematic down voting this way. I later vote it down to whatever I felt it deserved as a whole product.
Some dramas get hate because of dumb things, that have nothing to do with quality of storytelling. Actually, it happens a lot.
The FL suffers from this, certain Chinese netizens vote her down, cause she's 'ugly', quite often.
