I mis-read what you wrote - I thought you meant Wu Zhiqi's younger brother is Li Jing. What you are saying is there are 3 brothers - Xizai, Wuhuo and Li Jing/A'Yuan?
I kinda agree with you on star stone searching episodes, it is pretty hard to see WWY and WSG getting so old,…
Well I just think its kind of funny WWY and WSG got so old in 50 years - aren't they dragon demons or something? And what happened to kiddy WSG - he should be a 60 year old kid??? Its kind of a giant plot hole for a romantic digression into showing a couple growing old together. Shouldn't they be massacred already? Anyway suspends disbelief.
guys i got a theoryFrom earlier episode we got a flashback about li jie having a younger brother. ( li jie said…
Its a good theory but remember that Ji Ling is the best part of Chi Wen - his younger innocent self that he wanted to preserve. And Chi Wen is the youngest of Pangu's 9 sons - 8 of whom turned into mountains to lock in demon king Jiu Ying. So if Wu Zhiqi is his older brother, that means the seal is breaking.
As for the doll and the Yuan brothers, I think Li Jie's memory was confused when he got to Shilin Sect. Li Jie is Yuan Xizai who is actually the younger brother that was blind and sickly. Ep 12 clarifies that is the case. Wuhuo is the one who force fed him dragon marrow and healed him. Xizai should be the original owner of the doll and he probably had it with him when he landed in Shilin sect. He had affection for the puppet Ji Ling and probably gave it to him, thinking of him as his long lost younger brother. It seems as if the Wu brothers could have reincarnated into the Yuan brothers or they are somehow parallel characters. Its hard to know for sure in QJM's universe where all these things can happen.
Maybe it's a stupid question, but China is a one-child nation, right? how come Ren Mei Yan has two children?
The one child policy was never strictly enforced in the countryside. They needed workers to work the farms. Wen Yixiu’s husband also wanted to have an houseful of kids with her. Also it’s never explicitly said that her kids have the same father. If she re-married someone with no kids, they are allowed to have another one.
I believe they are only sharing memories not necessarily their thoughts. And considering the Fox Queen is onto…
Also the Chiwen meeting was after the full moon. So let’s see how it happens in the next full moon. She’s probably a double agent so we don’t know whose side she is on yet.
I mean, there’s one thing I don’t understand. Weren't these foxes sharing their minds? How is it that the…
I believe they are only sharing memories not necessarily their thoughts. And considering the Fox Queen is onto her I am going to say she didn't manage to completely hide those either.
I am puzzled what this drama connection with The Painted Skin. But I think because those characters hiding their…
The Painted Skin is from a Chinese folklore horror classic Strange Tales of the Liaozhai. It has many meanings as it is a metaphor for deception, duplicity, and the dangers of superficial judgment. In GJM's universe (not unique to him) the demons wear a painted skin to disguise themselves as humans. But it has layers of meaning referring to what hides beneath the "painted skin" or the face you show the world - whether you are a human or a demon pretending to be a human. This sub-genre tends to explore themes of obsession, sacrifice, misunderstood love, and the pain of hidden identities.
I agree her line delivery doesn’t immediately scream out to me as Empress Dowager Feng. I’m still interested…
Well multiple dramas are shot at once at the same location - usually Hengdian. To get a quiet set you need to book out everything which is super expensive. But some high budget dramaswere live recorded - Nirvana in Fire, Rise of Phoenixes etc.
