Lots of TMS in this episode. 😍It really fascinates me how he carries himself and behaves - his calmness and…
I once commented how NXY early on seemed like a broken human, like missing something and bit sociopathic. Well.. we find out why! And I'm glad the actor was so well able to portray how this character so well, how he can mimic being a human enough but can't never fully be one.
Wow EP 31 has enough backstory for a whole new series. This show has no drag.
So I learned:
This is ALL Book's fault. I mean he tried to take a shortcut to recharge Pearl apparently by using ZM's blood instead of just waiting for the sun and moon. It was faster but she gained more humanity and fell in love with ZM. Pearl was already getting a little tired of being a boring divine artifact anyway and wanted to experience life which is a taboo for them so of course she would not go back.
But then again without Book's poor decision making, we wouldn't have the story of their great love and the hilarious ways He Zhou corrupted Pearl like teaching her gambling. 😄
The theme of this whole drama, cause and effect, destiny vs changing one’s fate…possible???!!! Really impressed…
Like the High Cycle Divinity said, the struggle to change destiny is also destiny. It makes me wonder if Book and Pearl are going through some sort of tribulations at this point to become more than artifacts and all of this is part of their destiny.
It could be that it's late so I'm not thinking properly but EP 30 was kind of confusing. 🤔
So.. there is an even bigger divine boss Hao Tian and this seems like a true god level and created Book of Fate and Chaos Pearl. They both have jobs to keep order. Then some Divine Clan got bad and killed good Divine Clan and took over Divine Realm. Pearl got drained at this point and fell to human world and regenerated with help from Emperor ZM. The evil Divine Clan is now making humans suffer and do children sacrifices and such so the Emperor ZM has just about had it and is going to fight the oppression. Also falls for Pearl who is apparently always super adorable and aggressively affectionate. This plot is so unexpected and I can't wait for the next episodes.
Oh these two, sacrificing for each other over and over, it is true like TMS said...they love each other so much but can't never be together. How to break this cycle? I also loved how we can see what actually happened in the past ar Moonlight Heights and why XXC got more powerful during his seclusion.
Sad that everyone's soul pieces are now gone but I gotta say though...that Demon Lord entrance was something. 🪭😳
I'm behind, ep 25, Fu Lang's parents, I'm crying 😭😭 this is the third tragic/sad ending for side couple…
I really loved how they gave the older couple a decent amount of screentime. I thought it was kind of unusual for this kind of drama and it was really touching to hear their love story. It fleshed out the characters and empathize and mourn the loss to the Fu family.
Just completed Ep 27. Mind. Blown. This show is so good. So good.
So NXY is the High Fate Divinity and the Book of Fate is His!! Chaos and Fate were eternal friends, two origin divine beings and were companions for eons until 10K year ago when Pearl made the decision to love XXC/ZM and Fate went into the mortal realm as well. That is why he is so obsessed with her! I have no idea where this is going now and I love it!
I also loved how this was the happiest of ending for the world but not for our ML. He's willing to gamble it all for MXL because of love. Ah these two, so crazy.
So I think NXY was the one standing next to Divine Pearl/MXY in that flashback/illusion. My theory is that XXC and NXY are the pieces of souls that came to the human world which is why they were both born with more perceptions than others. Also he had powers of divinity before his stepbrother attacked him.
The happy ending I hope is that NXY goes back to wherever in the Divine Realm being aloof and doing Divine Clan stuff and the ML and FL get a HE together. NXY is such a complex and interesting character that I don't want him to get permanently destroyed at least get a bittersweet ending.
I wonder if they knew, when filming this, that it would be a solid Xianxia.Midnight Mystique sadly doesn't hold…
I am watching both but I tend to agree that I really look forward to this show's new episodes versus the other shows. For me, I wonder if MM is not as intriguing because the roadmap for that show is already known, where they need to at least go through 5 sub-arcs for each of the contemplations and so it's somewhat predictable until the FL gets the fully powered stone but I have no idea what is going to happen with this show because there are some twisty things happening.
Episode 23-24 I love love this show. The way it tied up SQ story, how every one, from the "hero" to the "villain" are so gray and their worst enemies are not one-dimensional villains but everyone's deceitful natures. The chickens are coming home to roost and the actors are doing such a good job.
Ep 22...omg what kind of monkey's paw immortality is this?? I think this is the first time showing anything about the Divine Clan and I'm uncertain whether they are entirely good. I wonder if they just hate humanity because of the war and this is how they torment the few that come their way. The story of Qian Guang and Feng Xiang was just so sad.
This is ALL Book's fault. I mean he tried to take a shortcut to recharge Pearl apparently by using ZM's blood instead of just waiting for the sun and moon. It was faster but she gained more humanity and fell in love with ZM.
