The illusion spell wasn’t actually her that was the empress’s illusion spell. She even talks about it with 27 as a flashback when she’s a teenager. She mentions that she thinks somebody recognized her and 27 says that the empress is illusion spells flawless so that’s impossible.

The illusion Spell was placed on her at birth so the deception isn’t just for her master. It’s literally for everyone in her entire kingdom.

Not sure if they’ll do this in the drama, but I know in the novel from reading spoilers that the empress did this because she originally given birth to a boy who was born without spiritual veins. She abandoned him and it just so happened that there was a distant relative of her that had given birth at the same time to a girl which is Ming Yi. So in order to cover up if the infant has been switched, she has forced her to live as a boy her entire life through the illusion spell. So yeah when you’ve had a secret, you’ve been keeping your entire life. You’re not just gonna tell it to someone after only a month. Or two.

I understood that while he wanted to get her out of there, he left behind the stupid device. I really wanted him to crush it.

Really?! I’m loving the series kind of obsessed. The chemistry between the leads. Is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Interesting thanks for the explanation

On episode 23 the couples airing schedule has the heart bond array formation over it. Then on the female leads airing schedule, it shows a broken heart so I’m going to assume that something happens to her

I have no idea 😂. She talks like her plan is still the same but then in the upcoming episode episodes when they do the Heart Bond Array they have to be of one heart and one mind so I think if she still was planning to betray him at this point it wouldn’t work

Just me and I’ve been saying multiple times in order for them to do the heart bond array they have have to be of one mind and one heart. I think personally that this is going to destroy the last pedal on her flower and she’ll be dying. I think this is when he ends up, giving her the antidote in order to save her life. If you look at the airing schedules. For the couple on episode 23 there is an array formation which I’m assuming means the heart bond array and then over the females airing schedule it shows a broken heart. Since his ear schedule doesn’t have any emojis not sure if this is for him or for her going to assume that it probably has to do with her dying maybe. I could see that he finds out she’s dying after the heart bond array uses the antidote and then she ends up assuming or reassigning her role as Ming Xian and leaving him to go back to her own realm and that’s where the betrayal comes in, possibly.

Then again, I also heard that Si Tu Long and I’m going to the dark side and ends up forcibly abducting her and trying to force her to marry him so I don’t know when that’s going to happen either 🤣.

Not just about her identity though and that’s also huge. It was that we see in episode 19. That whenever she showed weakness or even lost, she was shut up in a cave her mom not to leave her alone in the dark. She always had to be faster, smarter, and stronger than anyone else literally she was 13 when she first entered the arena fighting against grown men, even though I think her cultivation was still higher than theirs possibly at that point they still had way more life experience than she did.

Not sure if others realize this, but in the first scene where we scene as I guess a teenager doing handstand and 27 runs over and asks what happened? She finishes her handstand and shows her hands which have cuts all over them and says that she snuck away to go get scallion pancakes and was caught, and this was her punishment. Now we don’t know how long she was supposed to do a handstand for, but obviously it was a long time because she had cuts all over her hand. She mentioned to him that she thought somebody recognized her during the tournament and then they discussed about the flawlessness of the empress's illusion and how that would be impossible. Might be my assumption, but I’m pretty sure she was talking about Si Tu Long so that means even after she won the tournament that same day, she had to go back to training and wasn’t even allowed to stop and have something to eat without getting punished.

Her sense of self-worth is tied into being useful, after they came back from, I don’t know the marriage wrong. I don’t even know what to call it, and he was upset with her and angry. The first thing she did was get on her her knee and pledge her loyalty and say that she’ll pay him back by being useful because this is the only thing she knows.

The other thing too is you don’t get to like this level of distrust of people, you don’t become that guarded unless you’ve also had an abuse background. The other thing who is that I didn’t need to know her full background to be able to read between the lines and realize that just because she looks like she grew up in the lack of luxury doesn’t necessarily mean her life was all that great I guess in comparison yeah her life on the surface seemed better than his because we could see that as a slave like he was treated horrifically. Whereas her abuse was hidden behind closed doors out of sight of I guess the public eye.

I’ve just given up on believing any of the previews or anything in the previews lol. I’m unsure if they will be another betrayal, I think the big battle will drain the rest of her powers and he’ll end up using the antidote to save her. I think this is the time that he made me discover she’s Ming Xian. I think that considering her love confession and the breakthrough she had and the fact that in order for them to do the heart bond array there has to be one mind one heart I don’t necessarily think she’ll betray him now. Then again this is just me lol

It’s actually a Xianxia which is a subgenre of fantasy usually involving either the heavenly realm, deities, immortals and or demons

So apparently, the novel is a happy ending. I’ve never read the novel, but apparently the novel and drama are very different. The only thing they’ve really kept the same are the places and the characters names

If you’re going to drop it, I would say drop it. She actually doesn’t betray his trust though like yeah he doesn’t know who she is still. An episode 19 she literally gets tortured by the soul, seizing spell the same spellthat killed his master so that they can try to find out where the antidote is and where he is. She literally almost destroys her mind and doesn’t tell them anything. She ultimately ends up confessing that he has no idea just who her inner demon is and that she does love him a lot.

It also goes into more detail into her background, and the fact that literally every time she lost the empress would just lock her away and a cold dark cave while she begged her mother not to leave her there in the dark. Her mom use this to try and get her to tell them where the antidote and the male aid was, and she was literally willing to stay in that dark cave forever rather than betray him.

Ah I see, I think they throw in random clips into trailers to Miss Lee and confuse us and that they’re never gonna happen lol. I’m really hoping that they’re beyond this now. Fingers crossed.

Because since you’re gonna do a heart array formation, they have to be of the same heart and mind. I personally think that this array is going to cause her to lose her last petal and that’s when he’ll use the antidote to save her. Maybe at that point she’ll leave him to go back to our own realm and that’s where the pet patrol comes in? I don’t know. I just feel like with being halfway through the series and they’re still the arc where they have to deal with her wrong that we’re kind of past the point of betrayal lol at least I hope so.

The Empress never needed the GMD.

The reason why she wanted her to act like a boy was because empress originally gave birth to his son, but he didn’t have the spiritual vein so he abandoned him. Around the same time, she had a distant relative who had given birth to a daughter and that’s who Ming Yi.

Are you sure the spirit wall thing was from an earlier episode probably when they were in the illusionary room with Xu Ming.

Me too 🤣

I know right?! 🤣

I think somebody commented that he has taken it, but I’m not fully cured yet, he still needs it

No, from spoilers, I’ve read from the novel his Shifu never had children. Ming Yi is just the product of a distant relative of the empress who happened to give birth around the same time.

Interesting…. Never thought of it that way..
