ShortCircuit

He'll go the teenage way: okay then I'll destroy myself and THEN you'll be sorry, see if I don't! :D

They didn't have the same dream. Her dream was a database for Ye Mei, the only dream we saw enacted is TTJ's. She might not even be aware the info was stolen by the demon.

As for the lack of emotions... it's finally started to dawn on me, repeatedly, why she takes the Heartless Way. To not emote, at all if possible, or not much. From her POV, maybe she laid down waiting for the demon to show up, the demon didn't, but she got bored with waiting / woke up before she realised she's dreaming / asleep, and that's it.

Or at least that's what I saw.

MN isn't practising the Heartless Way, LSS is. So a lot more control on LSS's part.

He just decided he'll go and get her, and go through all and any obstacle.

GYJW doesn't even register on the obstacle scale, LOL.

He was channeling Wen KeXing so hard, LOL, I expected him to go, Ah-Su, where are you going? Wait for me!! too :D

So let me walk it through.

0. LSS decides to go the Jing capital, TTJ decides he's going to be around her all the time from now on so he follows her wherever she goes. Meanwhile GYJW is busy exorcising demons and getting snared by MN.

1. LSS finds out there's a demon who likes to attack lonely travellers (who optionally dress well). So she decides to dress well and shows up at the inn, before learning what kind of demon it even is. TTJ is with, her, the pink dress is worn.
2. GYJW is at the inn next door, having been taken there by MN under the pretense she - MN - also went to the capital. That is the FIRST time they're meeting, the three of them. Where did you see LSS and GYJW together to plot before this? (Unless you mistook MN in the carriage with LSS).
3. The three of them make up a rushed plan to deal with the demon and LSS really does change out of the pink dress in order to go do the dirty work. Maybe she only brought the two dresses and wants to use the cuter one to trap the demon. It's not too farfetched.
4. They enact the plan and things happen, etc.

I seriously see no problem with it. What, do we really need all details spelled out?!

Imagine him singing: "Lonely, I am so looonely~, I have no-boooody, All of my ooooown" LOL

That's what his face was saying :D

We came to that conclusion because it WAS shown in the drama. I rather like not to be told but shown and left to make my own decisions on how to understand a chara.

What, are you saying the Terminator wasn't a MC? I think LSS/YXW (more likely) is a MC. It's just not the usual xianxia emo MC (she could show some more emotions... but then... She'll be back :D)

Think about it - it's a reverse mirror xianxia. Usually it's the ML who is cold and unreflective and does all these stupid things because they're not explained. And the FL is the emotional one, throwing pain waves all around and crying her eyes out. Not saying TTJ has been crying his eyes out (there were some moments) but he's definitely emoting all over the place in all his impersonations LOL, while she's been a block of ice. I am not certain I'd like all xianxia to be like that, but it's definitely a change from the norm.

They did meet him by accident, he was out in the world exorcising demons and getting caught in MN's trap. They (the three of them) didn't plot it out together. GYJW got there via MN's transportation means. And MN actually had a hand in plotting things from the demons' side of the plot so she'd know where to "plant" him.

And there was no plan set out anyway on the immortals' side, since LSS learned about the demon only when she was in the capital. It was TTJ who was following her (because he decided to be proactive) who get to team up with her and catch the demon. They had to use remote learning LOL to get the info on what kind of demon they're facing anyway - do we really need to see all the crow back-and-forth talking?!

There were two dreams - Ye Mei got all the info from LSS and used it to build up a nightmare for TTJ.

I seriously wonder if this drama is either made according to how I understand the world (well, fantasy worlds) or it really can be that complicated to see in detail. It doesn't look complicated to me, anyway. (This is not supposed to be slight, it's just that I really don't have a problem understanding any of the timelines in this ep or the others, and I can follow the story easily).

I see her as the Terminator. She doesn't have any other intentions in the mortal life but to take the Bone and kill TTJ, of which she finally manages half and then she decides it'll be enough for now.

Since the immortal life began, she too didn't have any chance to make a mentality adjustment either - she poof!-ed out of the Pool and discovered the Immortal Sects and had to reintegrate, while still having to think up a way to contain or destroy the Bone.

I was mad at her myself yesterday, LOL, because she seemed needlessly cruel, but it makes sense. She freaking has PTSD from the first timeline and never had the chance to process it, and now all those people she couldn't mourn for lack of time are alive again - but not the same...

I wonder how come she's still sane.

So if instead of trying to look at her as if she's a sane, normal human/immortal being, you look at her as if she's someone under tremendous pressure (and then her lover comes back from the dead and he never died either but was tortured himself for half a millenium), it kind of make sense these two never got on the right wavelength.

YET. I hope some things at least will change from now on.

She finally read Nietzsche. She decided to try out some applied philosophy on TTJ and see if it made him stronger if it didn't kill him, LOL. (IMHO, she's kind of lost in the dark and desperate and feeling her way out so that the world is saved - again.)

Weird because she was strange so far, with not accepting perfectly good explanations and deciding everything in her own head, separate from all rational thinking.

Now she's acting like she grew a brain finally, it looks strange LOL.

Maybe that Heartless Way did help her sort some feelings and thoughts after all.

I actually have no idea what you all are talking about... What is it about the editing that's throwing you off? It's about the same as in all the other eps, it's just that they're not hurting each other but smiling a bit and the issues are solved pretty fast - is that what's strange, LOL?

I SURE HOPE SO. Or else!! *growl*

She has an excuse - she's a phoenix chick and imprinted on him using that name, LOL. I don't know what his excuse is, it's just that she's the girl he fell in love with and is still trying hard not to let go of her.

There have to be some TL mistakes here and there, since LSS addresses GYJW as da-shixiong (senior sect brother) and they keep writing is down as "Lin". He's not Lin any more and wouldn't know who that was if she actually said it.

I like the hostage prince frozen nearly to death, it's my favourite look from him. Those snow-sprinkled eyelashes and that LOOK he gives YXW when she taunts him trying to see if he really is the future DG... I still like that part the best.

If SOMEONE would have talked to him from the beginning (or at least after he developed the love threads) there would have been so much more development in fighting the DG's coming TOGETHER.

I like it he's a one man's army against the DG, but I'd love to see some help coming his way too!

LSS: Two rooms, obviously!
TTJ: ONE room, OBVIOUSLY!
Poor innkeeper: You two... GET A ROOM!!!

:D

She was evil from the beginning, anyway, her mortal lives were used to re-patch herself and get back to doing evil stuff, but she did seem to care about XL. Let's see if some of it translate to GYJW...
