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.

That’s OK this is how I know a story is really good and is captured my interest when I can read all these spoilers and still go back and watch them. Well, although it’s not really spoilers considering the novel and drama are literally nothing alike. I just was getting a bit annoyed at reading. All these comments of people are like literally bashing the female lead for not trusting him easily as he seemed to trust her because his background was more abused. It’s like she also has her own trauma and literally was raised in an environment where she wasn’t allowed to trust anyone Where she had to hide who she was this kind of systematic I guess indoctrination maybe isn’t gonna be overcome just because the male lead shows her a little bit of an opening where she might be able to trust him

They were so cute lol

This is what I’m thinking although I’ve heard that he gives it to her in a scallion pancake, and she doesn’t even realize it until a few days later. So maybe she won’t be in that desperate situation if she’s dying because I don’t think she’ll be able to eat a scallion pancake if she literally on death door.

I think her living in luxury wasn’t that great honestly. Not only was it instilled in her that she had to lie about her very identity to literally everyone except for obviously 27 her mother, the Empress, and her master. It didn’t seem like her mother viewed her with a lot of affection, unless she constantly proved herself how strong she was, and that she was number one in the arena all the time. The minute that she wasn’t number one when JZB defeated her because she was poisoned and she could no longer maintain the illusion that she was a guy her mom cast her out. So sure on the surface she lived a life of luxury, but only because she was constantly winning and showing that she was on top, I’m sure that the moment even as a child, she showed weakness that luxuries probably stripped away as punishment. Even though it was under the pretence that her mom was doing it for her own benefit, she literally threw her out on the streets with nothing but the clothes on her back knowing that she was poisoned and she was going to die. She basically just left her to go die on her own. If it wasn’t for her master, I think telling her that JZB have the antidote she probably would’ve just died in obscurity. Or the people who were looking for her, would’ve just killed her on sight . I don’t agree with what she did, but I’m also giving her a little bit of slack because although her upbringing didn’t seem on the surface to be as horrific as his was because obviously he was a slave and he grew up being experimented on in horrific conditions. I don’t think she personally had it all that great either. Having to constantly prove yourself to have a parent love you is a form of abuse to. So I’m giving her a bit of slack even though I don’t like her actions either.

What don’t you understand?

I feel that before he learns of the poison she is going to lose more petals since now she has to rove herself even more

Same, I keep coming back here as if it will make the episodes come faster lol

lol. As horrific as his childhood was and let’s be real, it was pretty awful. It doesn’t appear that he had to lie or deceive anyone around him about who he was. As horrible as his early years were at that time he could always just be himself.

I honestly think he’s more open to accepting of his feelings towards her more than she is accepting of her feelings towards him.

I would think with always having to deceive people, though who she was her sense of self would be pretty effed

I was thinking about this today and I think it’s because it’s been so engrained in her since infancy to lie about who she is if you think about it cause not even those closest to her other than the empress her mother, her master and 27 know that she’s actually a woman. Even though she can think to herself, he’s a good man like he’s wants justice for his master. I think it’s been so engrained in her to not trust anyone no matter what. So I think that that’s why, even though she might’ve been given the smallest opportunity to tell him the truth something that’s been so systematically engrained in her pretty much since infancy is not gonna just go away like that.
