I am so mad at him for forcing her back.

ugh the lamp doesn’t show Jing what happened. It’s getting so dragged out.

What a jerk, forcing her to come back to the capital. I really despise Xiyan Cang Xuan.

yes!

he’s absolutely creepy when he smiles.

they were totally for SRQ.

SML is relying on the past and how easily he seduced and betrayed FL. He’s only just realizing ML is not repeating the mistakes. He has no clue FL & ML are working together. And I am here for it.

This was very enjoyable.

She did promise Old Mu and and wondered who would be with at her end.

I laughed out loud in my rewatch when XY promised to keep Jing from being bullied.

My point is that most of these promises are absolutely sincere when they were spoken. it’s just that life happens and not

I’ve seen some comments recently that TSJ gave XY empty promises (thus not deserving HEA with XY) and it got me thinking about other promises in the show.

XC promised to come and get XY before they are separated as children. We may not hold a child responsible for not being able to keep the promise due to circumstances beyond their control. Nonetheless, this is the contributing factor in her feeling abandoned.

XY promises to take care of old Mu until he dies. Then she leaves and I assume he has died (maybe in the 37 years she was asleep). XY is sincere when she says it but ultimately she does not fulfill the promise.

TSJ promised to be with XY but due to filial piety and deceit, he is forced to break it.

I am rewatching so if I come across others I will add to this.

thank you!

Question. Is the eyebrow drawing scene a flashback to past life?

I am rewatching too and I agree with everything. Also a reminder of XL’s sadistic treatment of her in the beginning. Yes , he has huge growth and eventually saves her life, but it certainly is not a healthy foundation of any kind of romance. Don’t get me wrong, I love his character and their chemistry but not as HEA.

I loved seeing Jackie Li as one of FL shapeshifts. That was awesome.

i agree, I don’t care if she slept with SRQ in the past life. If she chose him now, I would not understand because it seems she has realized they don’t have the same beliefs and probably never did. On the other hand, PWX is completely committed to supporting anything she wants to do. That is a Winner for me.

So all the times he waited and searched for her (and rescued her from XL!) count for nothing? He doesn’t even want to be there. he wanted to stay as YSQ with her but life didn’t work out that way. And going back was her idea. I don’t see his choice as one or the other. Grandma said she would break the engagement and so did fiancé. At that point he thinks everything is great and he can be with XY.

I believe that the one who "lost you forever" is CX, so technically he would be 1ML? And ZWY is listed first and DW 2nd on the apps. idk, it's so complicated. But based on who she ends up with, yes Deng Wei's character is the the one.

I dont feel he's weak, but TJ is hopelessly loyal to too many people other than XY. His grandmother gave him the knock out drug and he drank it, the same way he did so many times when XY handed him a poison.

Oh I like this! One of my feelings about XY is that she seems to love the one she's with. She also demands loyalty but is quick to dump a guy (like when she doesnt get her wine on time). Girl has serious abandonment issues.

What I also like is by the end of S1, XL and TJ seem to be aligned in their wish to see XY happy. When XL wakes her up, it is because TJ is dying and he knows she would not forgive him if TJ died. Later TJ tells XL that he is the only one that can stop her from marrying CFL. I think these two by the end of S1 are the truly sincere.

Are we there yet??? I am debating a rewatch this weekend.
