Another question, so how did Shiguang's master come back?

Especially his bare arm like it had no business being that distracting 😭

I know JL existed and my theory was he died to stop the drought and not by suicide because can he really die by himself with that feeble looking weapon? He wanted to die and tried to die but whether he'd have actually succeeded is the question. Personally, I don't think he'd have succeeded.

From my understanding JL existed in the new timeline too. The timeline was changed only 50 years ago by a different JL, so there's no reason the JL from that timeline and YWH wouldn't exist as that happened about 100 years ago. My theory is JL, YWH, LJ and the butterfly demon still existed. YWH was devoured by the butterfly twins so LJ and the butterfly demon YWH still came to be. JL from that timeline passed the mantle to WSG and died to stop the drought. The butterfly demon died with JL. LJ knew and stayed with JL through the years until he died but never connected the dots cuz even in our timeline he got know his origins way later after the drought so if JL had died then, LJ wouldn't have known the truth from the butterfly demon.

Ikr! I also think he wouldn't have actually died. He would've been sadder and lonelier over the years, but he would've still survived up till the rain even without LWY. Also didn't JY already know the Dragon Deity was fake? He was literally there with CW and JL in one of their earlier conversations.

I agree with WSG appearing weak and the story, especially the later episodes being definitely more Ji Ling focused but I don't know why people bring billing into this. Equal billing literally means the actors all got paid equally. Are we suggesting TJR and JJY should've been paid more or JZ and CDL should've been paid less?? They got paid for their hard work regardless of their characters' development or the focus of the story.

Also, if you'd take my two cents, WSG as a full Dragon Deity was weak and needed help but honestly, aren't all dragon deities weak to being with? I think they are more of an icon for peace and hope than actual very powerful beings lol. Even Chi Wen's original plan to defeat Jiu Ying included 9 dragon deities including himself dying and a hundred-year plan for the 10th Dragon Deity, so why are expecting WSG to suddenly be very powerful and do what his brothers couldn't?

I'm trying to organise my thoughts about the ending and this is the only part which doesn't add up for me.

Also are we sure that Ji Ling would have died when he tried to end his life without LWY? I mean we know that she stopped him and comforted him, and without her he would've still tried but would he have actually died? With whatever weapon he had in his hand?

Got it, thank you!

Yes, it makes sense!

Okay random question but why did the memories and the personalities of the original butterfly demons disappear after they devoured Yuan Wuhou?

Does this have any romance?

I'm kinda on the fence with the ending too. I'll rewatch the last three eps before making up my mind but I wouldn't quite go as far as to say it's a bad ending (especially considering GJM) but definitely not happy in my books.

This is so cutee 😭 I wish I had such pretty art style.

Personally, the final arc was giving Avengers Endgame 😂

It simply does not make sense for Huiju to not know this and jump into a contract marriage. I'm assuming there's some way it'll benefit her despite the law or uplift her social status in a permanent manner even after divorce. They'd probably address it in the coming episodes or else it'd be a huge plot hole.

Royals being involved in business has a way larger effect than them marrying commoners though. It's frowned upon, yes but it only impacts the prestige of the crown to an extent but being involved in business or politics nullifies the neutrality of the royals I assume.

Fr, it'd be crazy if it turns out true 😂

In a different genre, I'd love to watch a drama with that too. Unfortunately, it'd be too much here.

I think it's because royals can't get involved in business.
