What’s the connection of the heart so it would make sense that they could feel each other‘s emotional pain, but not necessarily physical

I’m trying to say like the love of her mother was just so conditional. Not only did she have to hide her identity from infancy, but it seems her mom was only affectionate if she constantly showed how strong she was and maintain the number one position all the time. When she didn’t like when she was compromised and poisoned her mom cast her aside like she was nothing. Even though she did it under the pretence that all it’s for your safety once her spiritual veins were broken, and she couldn’t maintain the illusion that she was a boy anymore. She was just abandoned with nothing.

so funny because I think this is the first drama in a long time where I like, feel like I could write a psychology essay on the psychological make up of the main leads. It hasn’t been since watching the Thai boys, love drama, cutey pie that I felt this involved in a drama lol

I think this was implied yes.

No problem 😁. Yeah the comments that I was reading on Reddit, the person who was trying to read the novel said they actually couldn’t finish because they drew a hard line with cheating and the portrayal of his character completely turned them off.

From spoiler comments I was reading about the novel in Reddit apparently in the novel JZB’s attitude is a bit problematic. He apparently looks down on women, but he is actually a true womanizer in the novel not only does he start a relationship with her in chapter 1, but it continues ongoing relationships and affairs with other women while in a relationship with her and even after they’ve been together for some time, she discovers that he’s actually been married for a year in a political marriage to someone else.

I feel like they did that in Till The End of The Moon where the male lead Tan Tai Jin was a sociopath or a psychopath. He didn’t care at all about other people and had no problem harming innocent civilians. Obviously, when they made the drama, they couldn’t have a male lead portrayed like that so it’s almost like they went out of their way to try and make him appear over sympathetic to the viewer since he’d been abused, horrifically his entire life but then they didn’t rewrite the female character to match. I felt that because of this the female lead female lead, came off as indecisive and wishy-washy because she kept going back-and-forth as to whether or not, she should kill him. A lot of people had complaints about the inconsistency of her character.

Maybe this is the same where the writers fell over themselves to make him more empathetic to the viewer because of his background, but then didn’t give the female character, the same treatment.

We know it is something that has to be cultivated rather then taken

Yes, I agree but many people don’t and seem to just want to hate her lol

That fine we can disagree lol. The thing is that was like once you lie it’s easier to keep lying then to tell the truth especially the longer the light goes on 😂

True

Linked to the novel it’s in the discussion section: https://www.readthedrama.com/novels/love-in-the-clouds

From comments that I’ve read JZB is an actual jerk. Apparently, he looks down on a woman and that he in the female he actually get into a physical relationship on the first chapter. Although I’m fine with the character having an open relationship and being with multiple partners, the fact that he doesn’t tell her he’s with multiple partners i means he’s been cheating on her. Apparently she even walks in on him doing something with a maid. 🫣. She finds out after they’ve been together for a very long time that he’s actually been married for political reasons for a year. So I think and then although he’s a true womanizer wearing in the show, they just changed it so he is faking it to find out information.

I agree

That’s true. But the thing is like she’s literally willing to use up the rest of her spiritual power in order to help him. Once she uses it and the petals fall she’ll die so I guess that’s one way to prove her loyalty?

Because up until now she’s actually been only trying to use her power sparingly. Now that he’s telling her that it’ll take more than cleverness to win him over that she needs skills and loyalty as proof how is she supposed to show proof unless she uses her powers now that he knows she has them. Which we know will lead to death.

I was honestly a bit surprised
When I watch the preview because I thought when she was telling him the way to I guess, refine or purify the nether mbeasts that she would actually do it since her spiritual channels are already damaged?

From common, I’ve read the novel and drama are completely different. In the novel. JZB is apparently a true jerk. Not only do they start a physical relationship in chapter 1, but he actually apparently looks down on woman and has no problem having relationships with multiple women at one time, including the female lead. A comment I was reading on Reddit said that apparently she even walked in on him doing something with a maid. 🫣. She finds out after a year that apparently he’s also already been married for a year for political reasons to somebody else. 😂. Also everything‘s different. A lot of things that are happening in the drama apparently aren’t happening in the novel or don’t happen in the novel. So I feel like you have to take them as completely separate stories.

I know people have been giving me a lot of flack for my viewpoints, but I feel like she has deep seated trauma. Well, yes, he grew up in horrific conditions. Her life wasn’t a cakewalk either, and she constantly had to lie to people and make it look believable since infancy. She had to act like a boy since her mother had Forced an illusion spell on her. I’m sure that being raised that you have to constantly win the affection of a parent by being on top. All the time is in a healthy environment. Also, she’s literally dying lol

I think she’s already starting to regret it

I think they mentioned that Hou Zhao oh, I knew something about it because he mentioned cultivation

I was watching one of the music videos and I don’t know what happens, but it shows Si Tu carrying the female lead away I think she appears to be unconscious while JZB just stand there

Well, she did try to deny her identity of the second male lead. He just didn’t necessarily believe it. Now that he knew the truth what else could she do? But just ask him to not say anything. Sure she made friends with the second female lead, but the second female lead didn’t know who she was and didn’t question her identity. She was raised in the palace, so I’m sure she was raised with good social skills in order to get people to believe her lol. Also, she was at the moon blossoms place for a couple of months so I think that would give her enough time to start knowing how to act like a woman lol and being comfortable in her skin in that way.

And yes, she might start to realize now that he cares about her, but she doesn’t give the impression that she’s a very self-aware person. If you can’t understand your own emotions, how can you understand the emotions of others? Like she’s just not an emotionally intelligent person sure we can see through his actions that he loves her, I think, because she first started realize it when the bottle of stars smashed on the ground. Before that, though, I don’t think that his actions were very clear that he loved her.. They each have their own trauma which obviously affected them in different ways so I’m giving her a little bit of grace even if I don’t like how she does it.
