Dw it’s a dream/illusion that he did it loooool. Altho it does happen in the novel

New fan over here! Literally just watching for him and his wide range of expressions. His eyes speak! And his voice and enunciation saying his lines are top tier.

I don’t care what anyone says I LOVE CX and yes I ship YaoXuan! But mainly because ZWY made him even more memorable

I totally forgot a lot of the scenes that were omitted - whether it was with CX, TSJ or XL because of this series lol. I need to reread the novel. Some fans highlighted the OG scenes below and man we missed out on so many scenes

Someone brought up a good point on weibo. So I looked at the chapters for the leaked script again and do not see any scene related to Xinyue trying to kill XY. If they omit that part, then the while confrontation between Xinyue and XY is obsolete. Then FL’s death - where he requests CX to look out for Xinyue as the empress - isn’t really necessary is it?

And basically CX doesn’t have to confess his love for XY - since the confrontation XY has with Xinyue won’t happen.

Also the whole leaked confession scene with CX makes absolutely no sense - about feeling guilty of choosing the throne over XY. He was obsessive til the end in the novel, so they wanna make him a green flag now? Looool then there is no reason for XY to leave him at the end where he can no longer find her

And XL requesting XY to give him as much blood as she can spare (which he uses to revive Jing in the novel) - will this still happen? Probably not needed anymore if Jing saved himself???

Am i missing something here lmao. Seems like the motivations behind the events don’t make much sense anymore.

Anyway i make no sense, apologies in advanfe for blabbering but these script changes have messed my mind up

Agreed, in a historical lens this was not taboo. I can understand everyone’s sentiments. But in the novel, just like how it was hinted that she loved XL. There are parts that hint she had love for CX beyond that of a family love. And under different circumstances, especially if he recognized her and didn’t push her away, that love would have grown to even more.
They did promise each other to marry when they were older lol so there is that (lines were redubbed in the drama tho)

Need a miracle at this point. Not many eps left to go through, if it is real and not a dream, then they would need a lot of time to address all the events that happen afterward. Based on the trailer, 99% will be a dream.

Logically the better choice . He is the only one who isn’t suffering from love sickness. So carefree loool.

I know ppl bash him for his toxic behaviours but you gotta give him brownie points for the patience and restraint - for him to last this long is unbelievable. Loooool and XY’s oblivious to it all when he is literally saying ILY with his every action and expression makes me laugh. CX doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry

Yeah I feel like they are leaving XY’s assassination out, I didn’t see it in the script. This was one of the highlights too! So action packed so I am very bummed about that. I wish for a miracle that the dream sequence is false but I think they planned for a happy ending for everyone, where CX is a “good guy”.

ZWY is hilarious. Love how he backs CX up

Come join us in the discussion thread!!!

I stand by CX, as crazy and possessive as (he should have been if they followed the novel) he is. Red flag shippers unite!

Who is star lotus

Where is my cray cray CX? Give me back my CRAZY CX who was supposed to be crazy til the end lol

Yeah you can tell it was last min - literally felt like they just threw it in there hahaha

Yeah I’m still very salty about this. I think they didn’t want a morally grey male lead? Censorship? Honestly don’t know. Not consistent considering they built the plot and character preparing for this moment

Yep if they stick to the leaked script. The most disappointing change that was vital to CX’s development

Lol I see weibo comments comparing the CGI AN’s wedding got vs the lacklustre scene between XY and her mom. I have yet to watch today’s ep but sounds like the Tu Shan brothers’ fight was also a letdown. If it was due to limited budget, they should’ve laid all the scenes out and prioritized the important ones that needed proper CGI and editing to get right. Guess too much time and energy was focused on the unnecessary

Spoiler alert:

I know yall are upset with CX and his selfishness but don’t worry - if they stick to the leaked script then the whole scene with him telling XY that he killed TSJ is a dream/illusion his Grandpa set up to show him what the consequences would have been if CX was the real mastermind. This deviates from the book, where he DID do it.

I will say they could’ve cut down the many scenes where CX expressed his unhappiness with XY choosing TSJ, could’ve used that time to show us all the scenes that should’ve been included in the drama for more clarity - everything seems so choppy.
