I feel the same way!

I'm really confused about the ending. I don't understand why the present remains the same even after changing the past. Even more so, I don't understand why the concept of timelines is coming here. I feel it's just the writer's way of complicating the ending. Am I the only one??

Ok, but if it’s not Xiao Jingshan who orchestrated that, then who is that guy who incited the mob to attack her? Yu Ya said that he was already dead 600 years ago. And this incident happened around 400 years ago. So how did he come back to life after 200 years? There were two people BJS enquired about, and it’s shown that one of the guys, the travelling immortal guy who gave her the book, was XJS himself who disguised as one of the dead guys. So, how did this other guy appear?

Ep30:

Wtf??? Ying-yang formation?? Only 1 will survive?? Ok, no, I sense a sad ending here. I'm scared to watch further😨!! Xiao Jingshan is nuts!!

Ep29:

Poor Siling, she has so much PTSD from back then. It’s been over 400 years and she’s still suffering. Why wouldn’t she, what she went through was worse than hell. I was so pissed again when they were showing those flashbacks. I thought she would still show sympathy for those mobs, but I’m happy that she reacted with vengeance, that’s the normal reaction. But this time something different happened. She had someone to embrace her, that embrace which she yearned for but never got back then. I wonder if that hug from BJS helped her heal even a little?

I’m confused about one thing though. Did Xiao Jingshan cause all her misery back then? Did he orchestrate to lure the mob against her family, just to let her suffer the pain which he suffered? The guy who was actively leading that evil mob against her was actually supposed to be dead by then (he was dead 600 years ago and the incident happened 400 years ago). So, I wonder whether it was Xiao Jingshan who plotted to turn the mob against her. If that’s the case, it’s too cruel, because she was the only immortal who tried to actually help humans, while the rest of them acted indifferent to their miseries. It’s too f**ked up to inflict pain upon someone who actually tried to help out. Like what kind of logic is that?

She should've given that advice to BJS. He was the one who started all the misunderstanding without telling her about his actual reasons for his decisions.

Yes, he didn't. But my doubt was whether she knew it already.

Possible. But I don't know, it looked like she knew it from the start of her pregnancy itself.

Then how did she know that her son needed to absorb spiritual energy from her while pregnant in order to be born immortal? She said this to her son when he asked her why he was a mortal when both his parents are immortal.

I’ve seen some theories suspecting the Goddess of Time because she was being critical of the ML, but I don’t think she is involved. As a Goddess of Time, she is supposed to be objective, not emotional. As the saying goes “Time and tide waits for none”, the nature of time is to be objective. Though sometimes we perceive it as cold, when life gets rough. People die, natural disasters happen, ages change, but one thing which keeps going constantly despite everything is time. That’s it’s nature, it’s supposed to be objective. So, I think the Goddess of Time was just being herself and doing her job. I in fact found her presence to be a little soothing when they were showing the FL’s past, it was too much suffering to watch all at once. I liked her costume too, very fitting for her character.

This 1 episode a day is killing me! They keep ending the episodes at the most critical moments, it's cheating. I started this late, so was watching 2 or 3 episodes at a stretch previously and yesterday I made the mistake of watching 4 at a time. I should've controlled myself and saved some episodes for today😭. Btw, I really want that Dragon dress guy to be dead, he's so freaking annoying!!

Edit: Why do I feel that Qing Yan didn't die, and Long Yuan orchestrated the whole drama just to get the FL to attack their Palace? It doesn't make sense that he would literally kill off a peace messenger despite being told not to do so by BJS. Like no matter how impulsive he is, that act looks too stupid to be true. I wonder if this was a plot to make the FL go to the Palace.

I wished they elaborated on that. They can still show some scenes while keeping it PG13.

Sadly, I don't think she punished them. I don't think immortals are allowed to take human lives, so I don't think she did it. The Songhe county thing is confusing. As far as I understood, they were saying that the people there were leaving that place because the Flower demon was piercing human hearts and killing them (as shown in the starting of the drama). Later she even froze the city, so the rest of the people also fled from there. The county does exist, but people don't live there anymore due to the Flower demon attacks.

You mean that her egg did get fertilized but remained frozen? But that's not possible because the doc said that she was pregnant for 4 months, and he left her 3months back. That means she was pregnant for a month before he left her. Another thing I find unrealistic is that when he sealed her powers, it was an extremely painful process for her. How did she not miscarry due to that impact? Also, she drank for straight 3months after that, so how come the alcohol did not have any impact on the baby?

Call me heartless, but what agonizes me the most is not their child's death (yes, I did find it very painful to watch, but the most painful part is not that). It's what those human monsters did to her. They burnt her alive and when she didn't die, they buried her alive. Yeah, she is an immortal, but she can still feel pain. Just because she won't die, doesn't mean that she can't feel excruciating pain. When she was being burnt alive, I could clearly feel it in my heart how disgusting humans can be. These things are real; people were treated like this in the name of human sacrifices. I guess it also reminded me of the times when people were being cruel and heartless in my own life, so those scenes hit home for me. Also, the scene where they beat up Meng Changqin to death. Couldn't stand that either. People gang up against one person and demonize them, just so that they can scapegoat that person for their own suffering and also feel justified in treating someone like that, sucks!!

If it were me, I would develop intense disdain for humans. I can't believe she still has compassion for them. As for BJS, I started hating him the moment he said that he wanted to go back to heaven scot-free and act as if it was not his business anymore. Not a surprise that he never bothered to check-in on her even once in all those years. If it were me, I would never be able to forgive him. I would let him know what happened and cut him off forever and let him live in regret for the rest of his life.

I'm really confused about that. Coz he clearly asked that Lady God whether they can have a kid and she said it's dangerous. So, I thought they never slept together. If they did, how come they never had a kid for so many years (like almost 60 years)? What kind of protection would immortals use?

Ep 20(Spoiler Ahead):

Honestly, I don't know anymore. Just when I think that their relationship is getting better, it all turns out to be an act. I wouldn't forgive either if I was abandoned, but does she really have to do this? Why can't she just cut off ties with him and live her own life? Why is she so relentless in getting revenge? She is honestly giving me trust issues, lol!

Watching ep16 and the ML is super annoying with all his heavenly retribution talk. First, he abandons her in the mortal realm after sealing off her powers in the most brutal manner and says that he can go back to heaven scot-free and act as if it's not his business at all. And also throws in a dialogue saying he cares only about results. Then he acts as if he is the victim, like seriously?? I'm sure they'll justify his actions showing that he made a deal with the heavens to let her live and got that punishment in exchange for her life and all that.

But can't he f**king TELL her? Can't he let her know the reason for his actions? Is it too much to ask for a girl's agency to be respected? How is she supposed to know his intentions when he doesn't have a TALK with her at all. He hides all important information from her and expects her to obediently listen to him. Is she supposed to be a f**king wallflower and not have a brain of her own? And then he sits and argues like a politician who memorized his substandard script for a rally. I'm sorry, all his mental gymnastics to justify his stance sound so st*pid! If I were her, even I would go crazy with revenge.

But I must say, she was a bit hasty when she got that dragon killed. She should've tried to have a calm talk with him on why his actions were wrong and should've persuaded him to return back to his place. In the end, his job was to protect the land, and his existence would still benefit the mortal world despite his sins. She did that with the heart-piercing demon, so I don't understand why she couldn't do it with this dragon. But that doesn't warrant abandonment from her life partner, no no.

I think you are mistaking ep12 with ep13. Ep 13 gives the flashback of their life in mortal realm, and you can sort of understand why she might've had that mercy-less gaze in her eyes. I'm now in ep15, and yes, you do understand BJS's actions on why he might've done what he had done, but you also understand why A'Yue did what she did. I still don't know what exactly happened (didn't watch it completely) but can make a guess. By ep15 you realize that it's not either of their fault, it's the Heavens who are at fault. Keep watching and you will understand.

Ep 13:

I don't usually cry, but OMG I cried buckets here. The relationship between Meng Chi and A'Yue transcends a typical Master-servant relationship. She is almost like a mother to him, or more like a Goddess he worships. His death was so sad to watch, his last memory being the back of the Goddess he revered throughout his life. I felt the disappointment in his face, poor him, yet he respects her like always. I wonder if he passed away out of worry and disappointment. I burst out in tears again at his paintings scene. That scene was so delicately beautiful, looks like he pour his heart and soul into his paintings, as he doesn't talk much usually.
