And yet they exaggerated XY's reaction to some other things. This feels so unfair. I think I'll have to reread…
Yes, but her and XL supposedly shared a night of some significance and that never made it in to the tv script. Possibly because tv audience would struggle more to compartmentalise and also believe in her straight road to Jing. In the novel there was no straight road, there were no questions about who they were to each other.
Granddad doesn't hate either, it's just the wrong circumstances and he knew Xiang Liu's stand well. There was one point where he agreed that even 9 heads was fine - if he would be the one who stayed, because at that point in s1 that was still up in the air.
This is the closest to the epic, world building feel of Three Lives, Three Worlds, 10 Miles of Peach Blossoms that's I've ever seen, so far. I hope with the immense popularity that the extremely world building prequel A Lifetime of Love gets a solid remake.
There have been many good Wuxia and Xianxia, if you really thing about it, but the world building talent hasn't quite reached the benchmark before. Funnily enough, Ashes of Love didn't fall terribly short, another Yang Zi epic.
I am wholly looking forward to Moonlight Mystique, because I have unresolved angst surrounding Tian Qi. Another great world to immerse in.
I am a mess, a complete and liquidified mess. I am puddles.
I wonder if the children will be a miniscule part hydra.
I hope Xiao Yao and Jing have SO MANY children that the roll of the dice produces one with a shock of white hair, a sneer on their face, with appetite bigger than attitude and a way with aquatic creatures. There's a lonely bird somewhere out there.
Other people out there choose truth, we aren't alone sitting here behind the 4th wall.
We have allies and even reluctant soothsayers there at the brink, holding the the threads afloat in the air, allowing our 9 headed spider to weave his web - but this time to free the butterfly, not to consume her.
The threads are still alive, tendrils reaching further and deeper, more interwoven than any one being could possibly remember - other than a being with 9 heads that is, a being who can never forget. So even if a person was to try to quantify the sum of all that has been given, all that has been sacrificed and lost, it would be a lesson in futility.
How do I love thee? we don't count the ways. Depth, breadth and height, a souls reach or out of sight.
Nian - I want you to take a genuine look at her. With perfect clarity, that is a SISTER.
I get to pick up my daughter from summer camp in 2 hours, so I only get to watch 2 episodes. I get to angst ALL DAY LONG to watch the final ep.
IM FINE
I'll return and you guys will all be drowning, ugly crying, half-way through your therapy appointments.
Who is the envy of who here.
It's as if I'm 16 and THAT gorgeous guy is outside, throwing pebbles at my window. Whisper-shouting for me to either open the window wider, or for me to find a way to sneak outside for a little while. I'm fumbling with my shoes, my hands are sweaty and he's growing impatient. What's taking me so long?
I feel like the writers of the show really HATE Jing lol I HATE how they made him weak all throughout when he…
He was not the author's favourite, no. He's not meant to be, he's not written as the ML, but as the one who will always chose her regardless of circumstances. Xiao Yao explicitly expresses she wants a man who always choses her - completely opposite to her parents who both died for the people. She doesn't want the man who is 'burdened by glorious purpose'.
The other men will always want the best possible outcome, for the people or for themselves. Due to his 9 heads, Xiang Liu can think in multiple layers, which is why Jing allied himself with him, when it came to the one that mattered most to them both. Jing can keep secrets and together he and 9 heads can craft a future for XY.
Xiang Liu lays the foundation, Jing gets to build upon it. Xiao Yao is supposed to be 'none the wiser' about it all, but forever reap the benefits of this masterplan - the happy ever after.
No, probably the most brutal, alongside Goodbye My Princess.

He lives on in her blood.

I cannot remember her story, other than she lost someone.

Nian lies, it's not even a very good lie, but it doesn't need to be.
No more deception.
The time is nowwww
