I LOVED the ending! The twist was so good! Never expected Ling'er to actually help A'Yue. I don't know her intention behind helping her, but I don't hate her anymore. Throughout the episode I was hating on the ML and expected for him to be punished by that Heaven Lightning thingy. The 2ML is starting to grow on me and I kinda support him at this point, though I know that he might turn obsessive later. And the final scene was SO COOL with Qingyue getting that White Snake power and raising up with that cool pose!! That huge thing which was throwing lightning at her became a small toy in her hands, lol!
Can I ask why did ML agree to marry FL so easily in ep 1?
I think there are a few reasons: 1. He said that she is his spirit partner. They were probably in love with each other decades back and cultivated together, and he lost her when she "killed" herself. Since then, he has been in search for her. The fact that he immediately knows that she is in danger every time, means that they have some kind of blood pact between them. 2. Maybe he always wanted to marry her, now that he got a chance, he grabbed it. 3. The fact that he didn't do anything to her snake and even protected it when it was being killed shows that he still has feelings for her.
Watching ep6 and I feel that somehow the ML is the one who wronged the FL and she took revenge on him as a result. I think ML is projecting his own guilt onto the FL and hence feels those complicated emotions.
I'm feeling so bad for the FL. I wonder how heartbroken she would be when she gets back her memories and realizes she killed her own white snake. She is blindly loving him now; this would increase her rage multifold when she gets back her memories. Though I really like her present self, I really can't see her being in the dark about her past. I'm so not ready for the angst yet!
Watching ep5 and I loved the sword fight of the FL with the shadow assassinator. It was so well done! FL's character is so refreshing! She is not strategic or heroic, yet she can very well protect herself. She is a hopeless romantic and a little naive (believes everything from the romance novels to be true) but is nowhere near "weak". Her character demonstrates true strength - she knows when to seek help and doesn't shy away from being helped by her husband, at the same time does everything in her power to protect herself. I love the balance.
And their chemistry is sizzling!! The ML's expressions are so good!! He portrayed complex, conflicting emotions so well! His love, hate and confusion for the FL were conveyed so well in the same shot. He doesn't use many words. He communicates through his expressions.
Watching ep2 and I love how the FL is low-key in love with the ML and wants to marry him. And her dialogue, "Beauty truly leads people astray" - lol🤣! I am pleasantly surprised by the ML's acting here, as I usually don't like his acting. But here I love his portrayal of the character. He's hot!! The comedy is also done so good. I'm loving this!
Edit: Watched further and not low-key, she high key likes him, lol. Her bold confession was so cute!!
Watching ep 20, and I'm finding the ml to be so immature. Master Shu had all the right to lash out at him. His most important person is in danger after all, and they are not being as concerned about it. Despite the fl explaining to the ml that he would have acted even more anxious if it was her who was kidnapped, the ml kept acting obnoxious towards Shu. So, according to him only his love is important, and other's love is not? I really don't like him when he behaves like this.
This makes me also think about how he is the one who always causes misunderstandings, but others end up feeling guilty for the way they reacted. Like how in the starting, he was the one who told the fl that he treats the marriage as a contract marriage, but the fl ends up feeling bad for drawing out a contract based on his words. Another time, he made the fl believe that her dad was dead and made her go through the pain of losing a parent for days together but then made her apologize for "misunderstanding" him. How on earth would that be a misunderstanding? Even I would've reacted the same way if I was kept in the dark.
Sure, I do like him for being a loving husband and not being a toxic pos towards the fl like some other mls, but sometimes he does come off very self-absorbed and shows a significant lack of empathy in critical situations.
He starting to fall for her that's why he try to avoid her because he is her "brother" after all~
No, he did like her romantically. The earring scene in the snow in the starting, and his expression during their wedding night when she asks him if he never once liked her, are the proof.
"even I’m starting to see them more as siblings." lmao i thought i was the only one, i was thinking that they…
Yes, I’m afraid this will turn out to be like The Rise of Ning where they dragged the “sibling” arc for too long and the fl completely believed that the ml was her brother; she even tried setting him up with different girls. And when the truth came out, the transformation felt so forced, she suddenly fell deeply in love with him in the next scene itself. Ngl, their “couple” relationship felt so awkward, and I just couldn’t accept it naturally. Hope that doesn’t happen here.
********************HUGE SPOILER READ AT YOUR OWN RISK**************************** ************************************************************************************************
In the middle of ep7 and holy crap!! I can’t believe Xianjun is the one who set them up!! The ml and fl helped her when she was about to get r*p*d by those bandits, how can she do this to him??!! She did seem a little sus from the start. When they first introduced her, she was being a little prideful when she gave money to the leads for saving her and walked away cockily, but I thought maybe she is like that because she is from an affluent family. Well, turns out your intuition is always right. And her audacity to blame everyone else! Sorry girl, your sob story (which actually doesn’t exist at all) doesn’t justify your actions. I feel sad for her mother to have a daughter like her.
“Brother, go about your business. Mr. Song teaches me very well.”
LOL!! Serves him right. He had so many chances earlier but never took any. Too late bro, you shouldn’t have avoided her earlier. Well, he at least took the initiative to teach her now. But I don’t know, the fl completely believes him to be her brother now, even I’m starting to see them more as siblings. She will probably find it very hard to accept the truth later, and I would definitely feel awkward when they start being a couple later. They shouldn’t continue with this siblings arc for too long IMO.
He starting to fall for her that's why he try to avoid her because he is her "brother" after all~
He has fallen for her long back. He was in love with her even when he disagreed for their marriage. He said that he didn't want to marry her because he doesn't want her to be in danger due to his mission.
Exactly because he has decided to be her "brother", he should stop avoiding her, or else it would give wrong impression to everyone, including her.
I'm finding this "fix Ms. Arrogant " arc to be boring. I like it when the fl is bold, but I don't like it when they think that they can "fix" everything. They aren't omnipotent. Though I understand that Ms. Arrogant has some grievance against her dad's actions (she probably is against the marriage which her dad fixed for her, for his status upgrade), she doesn't get a free pass to hurt people and throw her weight around. I hope they stick to the initial storyline going forward without adding these fillers.
I don't understand why the ml is still pushing away the fl. Maybe when she had a family and was living a normal life, his reasons to not put her life in danger made sense, but not now. She lost her entire family overnight and is being chased by those killers. She IS in danger, probably more so than him. So why does he keep pushing her away even now? The 2ml is an eye candy and treats her better than him. So, if the ml doesn't change his attitude now, it'll be too late when the fl falls for the 2ml.
At the starting of ep3, and LMAO!! The way the fl directly aimed at the rear end of the rapist bandit🤣🤣!! Idiot got his a** burnt🤣🤣!! And the detailed embroidery on that new guy's gown. As I said earlier, the costumes are amazing!!
The storyline is pretty interesting. I'm liking the fl's character. The ml is being a d*ck towards her, and I hope he doesn't remain that way for too long. I'm liking the actor though. Their wedding costumes and that wedding room though! They're so beautiful. I guess it's the camera work, but I love the vibrant red and golden hues throughout the room. I really liked their styling here. Though not as extravagant as others, but the fabrics look pretty rich in quality. Hope the story doesn't get flat midway.
I'm super pissed right now, so I'll not bother filtering my thoughts. These 2 episodes are an absolute waste of time; this should've ended at 34. If they really wanted to drag it for 2 more episodes with that ridiculous plotline, they should've rather dedicated that time for explaining important stuff like the ml's past in his demon tribe and the relationship between him and his demon brother. They showed that they have "great brotherhood" between them, but I couldn't connect to it at all, as there were no flashback scenes at all between them. I thought they would dedicate at least half an episode to show his past.
Also, are they not going to tell us WHY that uncle guy hates demons so much?? He said that his family was destroyed by demons, but nothing beyond that. Are they not going to tell us his backstory?? Are we supposed to just accept his irrational hatred towards the demons without any back story?? I'm sure they did film it, but because they spent so much time on unnecessary stuff like ep35 & 36, they had to edit it out due to lack of time.
I can't even call that ending an open ending, it's just a bizarre ending. Felt like the writers had some fetish for depression, so they made those 2 episodes just depressing all the way! Way to sabotage a good drama and spoil so many people's hard work. The cinematography and CGI were amazing, but the editing and writing just negated all the good stuff. I wonder what the novel ending actually was, coz I heard that it was a happy ending.
I hate how they are cutting off so many important parts because they feel rushed now. They wasted so much time in the first 10 episodes taking the plot so slow, and now they feel rushed for time. I so wanted to watch the scenes where XY remembers his past and comes to terms with it, but they didn't show any of those scenes. They are just jumping scenes and it's getting hard for me to follow the story.
What I learnt from cdramas that humans like her is the reason why most demons turn evil but thankfully the snake…
Yes, given Chilian's nature, he wouldn't waste his time plotting revenge against her. He has better things to do. It also felt like it was his last act of pity on her. He loved her, so in a way, it was his way of getting closure for his love.
Literally I’m so confused why she felt the need to kill him? He saved her life and made sure to take care of…
Chilian didn’t pretend to be XX, it was XX herself who spoke to XY. At first even I was confused and thought that maybe it was Chilian pretending to be XX or maybe XX was lying that Chilian was dead to protect him. But the next scene with Chilian leaving on his horse confirmed that it was indeed XX who poisoned Chilian with that wine. I think that the wine is supposed to kill only snakes and not humans, so she drank it. But Chilian followed Buddha’s teachings very strictly and gained lots of good karma, so his level of enlightment was higher than that of an ordinary demon. So, he managed to live but lost a lot of his cultivation and sustained internal injuries.
Even I don’t understand why she felt the need to kill him. XY told that she did it to assume Chilian’s identity completely, but I don’t understand why she needs to kill him for that. She could’ve simply left to the capital and pursued her dream by assuming his identity. It’s not like Chilian would ever get himself into spotlight or even go to the capital, so even if she didn’t kill him, she could easily live with his identity for the rest of her life.
