It's because his Master uses magic to hide his star to make it seem like he died. But she makes an offering to him, who is still alive, with that flower that Shi Ying revived with his magic. So a conflict occurs, she gets a marking on her forehead in the shape of the flower and is marked as one to bring him death.

Of course as many stories, this one has the aspect of asking whether prophecies are avoidable, about free will and how much are they in reality self-fulfilling.

It's actually going to be very interesting when that plot point happens. You have seen some small hints of it, I don't want to spoil it for you but it will be set up well.

Zhu Yan was about ten years old when that incident happened. As a result of it, she thinks that another child died, because he tried to help her. She also thinks his mother greatly suffered, physically and mentally due to it. If you don't think this would induce long-lasting trauma then I don't know what to tell you. She would feel guilt and if she found a way to undo this terrible thing, of course she would take it and keep trying to make it happen.

There is nothing illogical or unbelievable about this plot point.

She thinks he died because of her.

She was a literal child when she saw another child die and she thinks it is her fault. Of course it is stuck in her head, it would be severe trauma for any child. Except perhaps sociopaths.

It is quite something to see Xiao Zhan portray Shi Ying. On the surface he should be a cold character but actually there is none of the usual rigidity present when it comes to portraying such types. Instead there is nobility of character and especially dignity, while below that a quiet type of kindness mixed with compassion. It doesn't seem complex on the surface and yet it is.

Not a sad ending, though there will be a lot of angst.

Take a good look. It's all pretty much the same comment under different names. This happens for every XZ drama. It's amusing that they think we can't tell after years of the same operation 😂

All the copy paste comments are amusing negl 😂

Ah antis, you amuse me. You try so hard yet it's been years and you still haven't figured out all your bitterness is only affecting you and it has no effect on XZ. I almost pity you. Almost. Keep being bitter I guess but what a waste of time.

Try going out, breathe some fresh air. Being this bitter isn't a healthy way to live.

I always wonder if you antis have reached rock bottom and then you prove me wrong. Sure, sure, that would pass only with desperate illiterates 😂

You can tell a drama is successful when this place starts getting flooded with bitter people. Keep downvoting, it literally changes nothing about the final outcome 😂

You gave this drama a 1 star. Just say you are an anti and move on, it's funny how you think it isn't obvious if you just say a few pretty words.

No need to force yourself to watch what doesn't appeal to you. But there is also no need to promote other dramas here either.

I absolutely hated the idea of love brain being the reason behind him sparing her so I am very happy they made it abundantly clear that he does it because it goes against his morals. They emphasised quite strongly that she was the one who believed him and did a ritual for him against orders when everyone else spat on him, so what kind of a person would he be, if he stepped on that? So far, the writing is really tight and logical.

There is a reason, he is not really a villain. He and Shi Ying' s father are brothers and he loved Shi Ying's mother but as he didn't get to marry her, he became a priest. So he is looking for revenge because he loved her till the very end, through Shi Ying. He does care for him but it's a little bit of a grey area.

Kind of? He kills the merman, she kills him in return then realises she loves him and revives him as hinted in these episodes, with the spell she keeps asking about but at a price, again as hinted. Half her life span is gone because he gets it. Still a HE.

🤣🤣
Just say you are feeling faint (you will, it's no lie, his beauty here is unreal)

So the environment reflects his moods. If he is angry, there is thunder and lightning. If he is sad, we get snow and rain. Happy and things bloom. It is really cool. He is the chosen one.

To be blunt, Gulinazha can't act to save her life so I will take a good actress that is less conventionally pretty every day and twice on Sundays. Too much emphasis on beauty, not enough on actual skill.
