Lost You Forever Season 2 continues the captivating journey, exploring love, loyalty, and ambition. While it doesn't quite match the first season's excellence, it still offers a compelling narrative with a poignant and bittersweet allure.

Thank you❤️

Well written Jeana❤️

I'm just putting this under spoiler to not make this thread too long...

Here I hope it's not just a dream of Cang Xuan and Jing died in real.. like take this damn character out of my sight for God sake.. at least for an episode or two.. I am just sick of him now... Honestly I completely agree with Cang Xuan.. if I was a boy I would definitely not let my sister marry to a person like Jing.. better she be single for all her life...

And I thought I am the only insensitive one.. everyone out there is talking about how they had tears in their eyes watching Xiaoyao crying but i didn't had a single tear let alone shed any....
Yeah I cried with her over her parents' matter but this time over Jing... don't know why, it just didn't give me a heartache, maybe because scenes were rushed or I know Jing would come back so why bother...

I think cutting of scenes had affected the overall quality of season 2... Many of important scenes are not there so it's losing the same emotional impact from the book...

The scene of Xiaoyao doubting and confronting Cang Xuan is just not getting me... Given Xiaoyao's temperament from season 1 to here, she regards Cang Xuan as her most important one, no matter she has to leave anyone for him, she can do anything for him, but doubting him just by herself.. it's just not consistent with her previous acts.

There is no intimate scene here actually even in book. Neither with Xiang Liu, nor with Jing. There are some more dialogue exchange between Xiang Liu and Xiaoyao and Xiang Liu and Jing which actually are quite fun yet deep. If they were included instead of showing intimacy between Jing and Xiaoyao that would be better for sure...
Following is the full scene, I'm directly copying it from Koala's Playground translation for you:
Ch.- 35
.......
In her teary eyes, Xiao Yao saw a shape appear from the corner of the dark room. Xiao Yao immediately used her arms to cover her face and wipe away her tears.

"Who are you? Why are you hiding there?" Xiao Yao's voice was scratchy but she was already calm.

The shadow didn't speak but also didn't leave, instead it walked over to the pallet.

Xiao Yao didn't raise her head but clearly felt it, the other heart was walking towards her and beating with her heart "Xiang Liu!"

Xiao Yao lifted her head and saw Xiang Liu dressed all in black with a black cloak covered him, wrapping his entire form snugly in pure black. He seemed like an imposing but ordinary person, until the slight gap in his hat showed a few white hairs.

Xiao Yao suddenly realized he saw her earlier crying and loss of composure and felt very awkward so she coldly asked "Why are you hiding here? To see something you can mock?"

Xiang Liu said "Be reasonable, okay? I came to pay my respects to a departed old friend and you suddenly barged in. It's you who interrupted me! Furthermore, what is there about you that is worth mocking?"

"Didn't General Xiang Liu hear that I'm the bastard daughter of Qi Yo?"

Xiang Liu laughed and his cold expression softened a bit "So it's that business! What's so mockworthy about that? Tell me."

Xiao Yao angrily glared at Xiang Liu but with her cheeks still streaked with tears this glare was totally weak.

Xiang Liu sat down beside her and laughed "Looks like the rumors are true, you really are the dear daughter of the Great General Qi Yo."

"Shut up!" Xiao Yao lowered her head to ignore him.

"Suddenly changing a dad, and into one that is reviled by the entire world, that would indeed be hard to accept."

"Shut up!"

"You might not know anything about Qi Yo but you know your mom. Since she chose him, you ought to trust her taste!"

"I said to shut up!"

"No matter what, you know who your parents are and that's better off than me! I'm a demon that came out of an egg, I have zero clue who my parents are."

Xiao Yao raised her head to look at Xiang Liu trying to ascertain whether he was telling the truth. Xiang Liu earnestly said "You know I have nine heads and at most I eat more than others. Since I was small I scrounged around for food and my days were absolutely the pits. I'd get beaten and chased and almost killed. My nine heads would sometimes fight with each other. One time I was so hungry one head almost ate another head........"

Xiao Yao's eyes widened into saucers "Really?" "Of course not!"

"You" Xiao Yao was so exasperated she almost expired on the spot.

Xiang Liu kept on talking earnestly "I remember someone said to me once "people are so weird, whether lucky or unlucky, happy or unhappy, it's all based on comparing with others." I'm just telling you about my even more horrible past so that you can see your life is pretty good in comparison!"
Xiao Yao remembered that the person was her and she grumbled "I didn't make stuff up though!"

"Coming out of an egg was true, having nine heads is true, the rest....." Xiang Liu rapped himself on the head and muttered "I was making it up so well...what else did I say?"

Xiao Yao didn't know if she ought to cry to laugh but the pain in her heart really had lessened a lot.

Xiang Liu asked "Do you want me to tell you more about my pitiful past so that you can feel like having a big demon devil for a dad isn't that big of a deal?"

Xiao Yao's eyes opened wide and she asked "Did you ever meet Qi Yo?" Maybe because Xiang Liu was also a world renowned demon devil it was easier for her to talk about Qi Yo with him.
"No, when I started to follow my adoptive father, Qi Yo was already dead."

"How was the relationship between Gong Gong and Qi Yo?"

"Really bad back then, almost hated foes. But after Qi Yo died and my adoptive father would pay respects to Zhu Rong, he would always also pay respects to Qi Yo." Xiang Liu laughed in mockery "You can't have expected those guys to have been on good terms back then. If they got along then Sheng Nong would have never been destroyed."

Xiao Yao was silent before suddenly asking "Xiang Liu, why did you pick Gong Gong? Because he's your adoptive father?" Xiao Yao didn't know how she had the guts to ask him this question, probably because Xiang Liu didn't seem like Xiang Liu tonight!

"Not just because he's my adoptive father, there are also all those soldiers I fought along with and watched them die. We drank together, we went to battle together, we picked up our fallen brethren's bodies....." Xiang Liu looked over at the altar "For hundreds of years, do you know how many of my fellow soldiers I've have to personally cremate?"

Xiao Yao couldn't imagine but she understood what Xiang Liu felt. Her Fourth Uncle could have survived that day, and he did love Fourth Aunt and Zhuan Xu, but he chose to die alongside his soldiers. In this world there was camaraderie so strong that one would rather die than abandon it.
Xiang Liu laughed and pointed at his head "I've lost count but they are all here."

Xiao Yao buried her head in her lap and grew silent. She felt her heart all jumbled and she didn't know if it was for Xiang Liu or for herself.

"What are you thinking about?"

"As Qi Yo's daughter, there is no place in the world for me."

Xiang Liu lifted Xiao Yao's head "If you have nowhere then you can always go out to sea. The ocean is so vast that there will be a place for you."

Xiao Yao remembered that she had the ability of a sea demon now and the endless ocean might be a nightmare for others but was paradise for her. If Xuan Yuan and Gao Xing didn't have a place for her, she could always go to the sea. Having discovered a secret passage that no one else knew that could save her life, Xiao Yao suddenly felt a sliver of calm.

She stared at Xiang Liu and the man before her was that dissolute wastrel but the moment she was about to become torn again a strand of white hair fell that reminded her exactly who he was. Xiao Yao softly stroked his hair and said "This place is not safe to stay, pay your respects and hurry off!"

Because she just cried, Xiao Yao's eyes were extraordinarily clear and bright. Xiang Liu could clearly see himself reflected in her eyes so he covered her eyes with his hand "I'm off!"
Xiao Yao felt a soft coolness brush over her forehead, a brief touch that immediately vanished. Xiao Yao clasped her forehead in shock and opened her eyes to see the room was already empty before her.

Mistaken illusion! It was a mistaken illusion!

Xiang Liu vaulted out of of the room and onto the courtyard wall to see that it was dense fog all outside and nowhere he could go.

Xiang Liu turned around with a smile to see Jing standing there dressed in blue. He asked with a chuckle "Tu Shan clan leader, was it interesting to eavesdrop? I didn't tell her you were listening in back there so why are you using a mystical fog to make it difficult for me?"

Jing calmly said "If you don't want to run into Zhuan Xu's personal guards, head North because I left a path open there."

"Looks like I misunderstood clan leader's intentions, thank you!" Xiang Liu fixed his hat and changed his face before vaulting North.

Jing said "Thank you."

Xiang Liu abruptly stopped in his tracks and turned back "What is the Tu Shan clan leader's thanks for? I ought to listen carefully in case I miss something of value in the future."

Jing smiled "Thank you for comforting her. I'll definitely offer something of value but the question is whether you'll want it?"

Xiang Liu said in half serious half joking tone "Of course I want it, but... not from you!"

Jing's expression changed while Xiang Liu laughed out loud and disappeared into the fog.

In the cold dark room, Xiao Yao sat there in a daze.

A person walked in from outside and as he walked, all the lamps lit up in the room like he was bringing light to Xiao Yao. She was surprised and called out "Jing!"

Jing placed a fox fur cape on Xiao Yao which was when she realized she was actually cold and she pulled the cape around her tightly.

Jing lit the three remaining incense sticks and said "Let's pay our respects together to Uncle Li Jie!"

Xiao Yao and Jing bowed together.

After paying their respects Jing said "There are many things we can decide but we can't decide on our parents. Don't torment yourself for something you can't decide."

Before Xiao Yao could respond, Xiao Xiao walked in with a bow "Princess, it's very late so let your servant I escort you back to Xiao Yue Summit so the two Majesties don't start worrying."

Xiao Yao looked at Jing who said gently "I'll come see you tomorrow."

Xiao Yao forced a smile "Okay."

When Xiao Yao returned to Xiao Yue Summit, she saw the Yellow Emperor and Zhuan Xu sitting by her lamplight.
....

Really that convo!

Jing: Thank you for comforting her. I'll definitely offer something of value but the question is whether you'll want it?

Xiang Liu : Of course I want it, but.... not from you!

And Jing's expressions changed...

It should had been filmed! But sadly they chose to not.

Ugh, those makers are at it again! I'm so frustrated now....
They butchered the scenes of Xiang Liu consoling Xiaoyao over her identity reveal, giving us a watered-down version. And to make matters worse, they added scenes of Jing consoling Xiaoyao, with her crying in his arms?! Give me a break! That's not how it went down in the book! Xiaoyao didn't shed another tear after Xiang Liu left.... And to top it all off, they're trying to force a romance between Xiaoyao and Jing even here. It's like they're trying to convince us of their love story again and again,...
It's just so infuriating!

I agree with you on this point..🙂

When did I sound aggressive?! I was just calmly and politely stating my point. Sorry if it sounded aggressive, I didn't mean that. My first language is not english so it might be the problem.

Indeed it's a drama but no one can persuade me otherwise about this matter. If my memory serves me right, the 15 years promise was already expired when Xiaoyao left Jing. I am tired of explaining Xiang Liu's behaviour towards Xiaoliu many times and I don't want to bother forcing my views on others. So it's better to hold on our own stances and no need to drag this conversation more, let's put this to an end here peacefully...

I won't say don't watch and wait for the right translation because I am unable to stop myself.. a suggestion.. don't read the subs, just watch the episode like you never know there are subs...

The plot is female lead centric but both lead characters are well balanced in terms of screen time and their own stories, encountering each other but not forced encounters, it's more natural and in line with the plot needs. Plus the chemistry is 🔥 and the breakup part with ex boyfriend is not dragged. It's worth giving a try!

Have you noticed.. when she heard the news of Ji Xing's breakup she was happy and smiling subtly and then changed the expression instantly when Ji Xing looked at her...

So excited 😃😊

Glad you like it!

Just a suggestion....

You should update your watchlist so that if you want some recommendations, it will be helpful for other users to recommend right ones to you which you haven't watched yet...

You got the wrong idea buddy...
You may not know I started from Ye ShiQi before giving my heart to Xiang Liu. But 'Ye ShiQi' not 'Tushan Jing'...

I understand that Xiaoyao and Xiang Liu are on different sides and it's not easy for them to choose each other but what I meant here was Jing tried to trap Xiaoyao with his promise, didn't he? He asked for the promise and continuosly reminding Xiaoyao about that until he fell into coma. He never spared a chance to make the hit. If he had been confident in himself and let Xiaoyao chose at that time.. this would be called 'giving a chance'... At that time it was upto her who she wants to choose, even if she chose Jing again.

Also I am Xiang Liu stan not Yaoliu shipper, because I already know what is coming my way and now I really don't care who is the endgame. I just want to see Xiang Liu alive and happy and if he can't be with Xiaoyao then let him forget about her in some way so he can live his life peacefully (I know it's impossible, but let it be my wishful thinking)..
If he is alive and keep memories of Xiaoyao but can not be together with her even sacrificing all then I don't want this torture for him, he better die a heroic death on battlefield and become free rather than trapped by love....

I'm afraid your tissue box won't last long..

Jing is the real fox! These are just words that he is giving her a chance to choose, deep down he know it very well that it's impossible for Xiaoyao to choose Xiang Liu now...
He has played his game years ago.. you get what I mean, right?!
