Alice

She's a village girl SF pretends to marry

So basically HC asked for her hand in marriage and arranged for them to be engaged which is why she is able to leave the Mingxia cave because sh'es now HC's fiancee. XJ thinks that he did it to save her from the Mingxia cave so he tells that that's what he really wants and that he doesn't know when it started but he already loves her and she's always been in his heart. Then he goes on to tell her that they have known each other for longer and that they've been entangled for longer which is why the marriage stone showed that they were a fated couple (actually that's a lie as you will see in ep 22) and then shows her some stuff in the Bahuang mirror that of course reflects him nicely and doesn't show what he did to her. Turns out the XJ did used to have a crush on HC. And he also ordered Siming to like write this touching love story between him and XJ and turn it into a memory so that she'll think that he was the one she loves all this time.

The thing is whenever there are some tear jerking moments they have a sweet scene between the leads either in the next episode or two or in the same episode. Although ep 24 was a little sad at the beginning but there was such a sweet scene at the end.

According to one of the trailers and from the novel, HC cuts up the star of Mosha, LHJD and removes her heart and makes weapons out of her organs and body parts and then takes half of LHJD's primordial spirit into the God of War(XJ) and gave her a glass heart so that she doesn't have any feelings. In the novel LHJD was a woman who has a crush on HC, in the drama I think LHJD was a man who trusts HC too much that's why she's so angry at HC and rebels against him.

I think it may be Xiao Yinghua or it may be that girl dressed in red in the mv for the ending song where XJ and SF walks out together and she's left behind

Hi I'd just like to make it clear that AVV are simply doing a bit of editing on my subtitles and making L&R available for download on their discord channel. It's also a platform to discuss about it rather than a collaborator helping me to subtitle so it won't get any quicker. Please note that they are behind me in terms of uploads. L& R is now up to ep 16 on my website whereas it is only up to ep 3 on discord. Also a podcast about it has just been released on it

In the book he's the deity of the stars, in the drama from the trailer he seems to be the golden bird in Heaven who consoles XJ when she's sad

I don't think he'll be vanquished because I think he's also an immortal from heaven that had to undergo these tribulations with XJ, He might just go back to Heaven when he dies

I would help however I find re-editing and resegmenting the machines subs so that it will flow better takes me just as long or sometimes longer than just doing it all in one go from an empty slate

He was once the right minister of the demonic realm who managed to escape punishment so he wants to bring the demonic realm back to glory.

Ep 13 now released with eng subs: https://productiveprocrastination.site/2020/08/19/eng-love-and-redemption-ep-13/

I just had a look at the comments on youku apparently they've delayed it until next week so they will probably release a batch of them next week

It says it's special access but on the youku website VIPs can only access it up to ep 27 or perhaps it's the special preview for VIPs?

I think she was only evil in some of her past reincarnations. Throughout the drama she's always doing what she thinks is right so she's not evil. Although she's very powerful, practically unbeatable when she unleashes that blue power.

HC was asking him what his motive was for getting close to XJ. SF said that people have friends because they get along because destiny brought them together, because they enjoyed their time together then HC asked why did he tempt her to find her 6 senses and disregard justice, and the right path, make her lose her way and be distracted by pointless worries and obsessions. SF said XJ was a human and should be treated like one yet you didn't let her be one. She should be the one to make the decisions for herself and that you don't have the right to control her and asked him what motive he had for doing that. Then HC remembers that XJ questioned him what motive he had for not telling her where she came from, who her friends and family were when she rebelled against him

LOL you can always watch these and then go back to https://productiveprocrastination.site/ to watch the ones translated by humans. After all it's a good drama, you can rewatch it again right?

Just skim-read the novel, turns out, SF was a deity of the stars who fell in love with a female deity who he was forbidden to love so his punishment for it was to undergo a few tribulations in the mortal realm. However in his final reincarnation he met one of XJ's past reincarnations when they were drinking from the river of forgetfulness and fell in love with her at first sight so he asked the Emperor of theHeavenly Realm, the one who rules over the entire Heavenly Realm (HC is a minor emperor of the Heavenly Realm) to give him ten more lifetimes in the mortal realm so that he can be with her for ten lifetimes. Except as we know it went terribly wrong 9 times. The only relationship he has with the demonic realm is in this lifetime where he's a golden winged bird demon don't know if they are going to change things in the drama though.

Don't worry there are a few sweet ones coming up very soon after ep 8. I think it's one of the things I love about this drama. These things don't drag out for so long that it's unbearable.

It says I love you but you don't know it
