I still dont understand about anything passion in ch43. She was awe by seeing his real self who is unique and powerful. Wheres passion there? All her yearning are all referred to Jing.
And Pls let me LOL about this Jing = maternal energy lol... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I dont think Xy do those things with her mom that she does with Jing.
Yes Xy never betray her good feelings she had for XL. She regards him as companion at times and wish him choose "good" for himself like her choosing her way. And yep all Xy's desire towards Jing never betray the good feeling she had for XL.
And yes Jing is actually a genius strategist in his way. But he naturally chose love over power.

No theres no mentioning of XL in chapter 20 at all.
And No... That Jing line is "maybe you are too good" is answering her question of why he rejected her kiss before in chapter 14. Its not his feeling in the moment in chapter 20. Theres no line "You are too good to me."

Ohh I had seen this "hidden line" theory on this page a bit long time ago. But to me LYF is NO such " hidden line type" at all. All the relationships are clear.
The author clearly wrote which is the main love line relationship and the two other types which are
also high weight for overall plot.
But I do admit I think the author did tease XY bonds with XL, (also CX too) with somewhat "romantic" items. But those kind of flattering things cannot be equal up to "being in love". Their relationship with her are certainly not.
The author wrote very dedicated to her main couple in their developing stages of romantic love journey especially in the novel. Theres is no backup to this in writing descriptions of feelings or in their actions. So how could this storytelling development arc become a cover up for something that is not even referred to in this arc at all and also has of its own? I mean theres no hint to "cover up thing".
And also this moon thing, the context in novel never referred it as any person, but only her emotion seeing it. (although in drama it does with Xy mentioning Jing). How could this moon"represents"the person just bcos its presented in the scenen but no referring. Isnt the referred emotion (whom it is for) written is what it represent?
So theres no such "hidden line" plot here. Sorry long reply again.😅 I just hope those who come to watch lyf or read its novel appreciate more on Jing and YaoJing romance. And other characters too. I think this story is fascinating.

Well yes he wants her love not her pity. Its his thinking in the context. Also about XY being a beautiful lady now and princess which he was implying now in chapter 20 as "too good" bcos XY asked him. There no word of "more" there in Jing saying. And again Jing said it with "maybe". Again no lines of "kiss being out of pity" . You are just adding it there. They both completely enjoy the kiss as lovers.
About the moon, XY manifested to be with Jing through her love song to he brightmoon. She said she sang for him.
Jing knew Xy value moonlight so he chose the date. With that so Xy was still hopeful. Her heart still filled with Jing. So she vow to moon. She committed to Jing. We cant say she was not hopeful and willful right when the moon full for her when she was yearning on Jing that night.
The bright moon did shine on them through the dark sky when they left Tushan mansion in chapter50. There is "hope" YaoJing brightly through dark sky.

There no word of "pity" or a line that presenting meaning to that word regarding to that scene in chapter 20. Xiao Yao is accepting him and he is now confident to give in into his desire and in the context implying "selfish" in Jing'thinking bcos he is generally proper guy, but will give in his love. Think you are going to ask how. I will just answer shortly. He said "last time she was too good"..bcos at that time clearly in chapter 14, he was insecure. As he said"selfish" meaning he is only thinking about what he wanted now. The words are implied with "maybe". A real selfish person would never admit about being selfish. And he also added "alluring". Surely it means she's alluring him for now and they did it. I think you cant understand the scene bcos surely the guy is not your fav. its clearly a love scene between 2 who are clearly in love.
As for that moon that is being "cold and lonely" , the scene only have XY thinking of XL, thats exactly feeling the moon has no much hope for XL? it answered to her question of "Did he think about the moon they look at together before".
The scene doesn't have Jing or XY thinking of Jing. Therefore theres no connection to YaoJing in that scene.
Dont include Jing when he is not implied in the scene and dont include XL when he is not impled in the scene.

The knee kiss in chapter 20 ep28 is about Xiao Yao affection, she just answered him with a kiss his body part that shes accepting his injuries. Its not only about "physical intimacy" as of applying physical only but shes accepting his injured body. It definetly applies to emotion accepting his injuries(which might disgusts others but not her) Its her sudden act too and it is a kiss. And the whole chapter 20 dedicated to YaoJing love.
In chapter 43, Xiao Yao did go and hugged XL true form. She is accepting as he is. But u see words are "it isnt about beauty or ugly, it was about being in awe of such power". Does it sounds like anything someone would feel towards someone they were romantically feelings?
But then the story ends with Xiao Yao yearning for Jing.
I will add a little more for this moon thingy I have been seeing in this conversation. I have not see author implying XL to moon at all both in drama &novel. But in drama at least Xy mention of it. According to my interpretation moon represent "hope" for Xy. She sort of feel ease everytime she see the moon. She sang to the moon and pray that she and Jing can be together.
And vowed to it later that whether Jing is with her or not, she was willing to accept the pain.
And no faking stuffs (dont know where they got it) as context imply Xy emotion pain in such long and deep way.

Yes ...bcos he was loyal, but he doesnt question towards whether what they were doing were right or correct (this is just my take). He is just ready to die off with his army. And hes very rigid towards it. Thats what I mean. One way of thinking..but then the author intended him to fulfill bit tragic theme of the story.
But even then he had his fulfillment in life. he did do things good for Xy and stay loyal to his master. I think he passed away with fulfilling feelings. So its not all that full tragic.

Its just that sometimes it cant be helped to feel worry when things are not common ....such as no booting with full casts but Wei and crews only. And not confirmed on casts as well. It just give a feeling of "why". I heard that they were taking breaks and sort of going slow? The director had done movies.I hope his drama is good too. Of course Id like to see the team promote drama since start like some others (some from tencent) arr doing. But of course DSL team is DSL team. I couldn't be demanding much. Its his first drama in 15 months. Im all too support it.

Yes romance is never priority for CX.
He definitely is not suitable for someone like XY whose priority is family and group of people she cared for.
CX is also dominate and he knew her devotions towards him although its not the way he wanted. He s also not considerate of her feelings as well. Guess that i quite dislike him since he ruined xy reputation just to cut from Haoling, so that
she has no where else to go . And i guess his invading of Haoling actually show his ambitions. Xy had to accept him with all.
Its then Xy had to rely her emotions on Jing. Jing was the same kind as her, more of family person type. But he also has this forsight on wilderness which is one of the reason why he supported CX way to throne. But yep in the end he just wants XY and her love. Although its not 100% conventional , his sincerity towards his own feelings and acts and towards Xy finally made him get his happy end overall through all the traumatic things that happened to him.

Thank u so much! Its really good reading nice&meaningful takes on LYF after not visiting page for so long. Yes I still see lovers but some technique thing to put into the couple for commitment. It has technique on how to put in. So i did not see it as sth that could not be put in if theres no romantic love. But there must be acceptance & no grudge between the two gender who took it. But XL and XY are not lovers. Thats why theres always sth wrong although he used it save her life twice in novel.
XY most of the time never really hate XL athough she's scared of him at times. She knew he had done some nice things for her. Thats why she regreted it and was hurt after knowing he was gone forever and that their final farewell was hurtful. The guy just like to do things behind the scene. Its nice that he is
willing to do something for someone without taking credit (although i still see him taking advantage of her as well especially when it came to attack CX). However, I have a feeling he was super rigid to his loyality. Thinking one way XY must not attach to him.. denial on their bond at all costs, and thinking it as the best way for them to stay as enemy. In here that i find him a bit immature (before psycho aggressive at
times too). If he had made his good feelings known to XY, disregarding of his duty for loyalty, that would be less tragic and wrap up well for his bond with XY. I do not he was sacrificing for Xy at all. He was sacrificing for his loyalty and also wish Xy good perhaps in sadist way.His decision to me is immature.
Lol i wrote a lot on XL. Thats not common lol. But
thats unpopular opinion of him.

The cutting of proposal scene could be bcos of budget. But does it makes bcos its cut fl doesnt love her lover? No way. Theres many line and showing of Xy love towards Jing. Much less and not even one sadness for not going into such relationship on the other. Jing loves XY who loves him so where is that of jing loving woman that love another man.? None.

This 42 year thing again lol. Dont know why they want to use it as excuse as XY delaying marriage bcos XY was not "sure" of it! No way its a completely clear writing in novel she felt bad about enjoying her life with Jing when without her CX could be lonely. And its clear Jing was her happiness. (She withered and regret this later). And she was really into medical research for the good of wilderness (thats the same goal with her mother which King Xiyan was refering to. Really its weird
to take the two as same when the story is
complete different.) Theres no single line about doubt Xy love for Jing. In drama ver she delay it for Jing. (under CX persuasion) as it might be "bothering" Jing with his duties as Tushan leader.
Those years are gone bcos of Xiyan and Haoling fight as well. How will she hold marriage when the war broke/conflicts between her two elder beloved
men. And yes I could only take this 42 years as to make YaoJing bond even strong before official commitment. You see it never fades away.

So far for now. Theres no personal attack at all. We are just making judgement on interpretations reguarding the story.

Sadly its in context . The conversation on medical which after Xi Yan King mentioned the line. :) its not on wedding....
Edit: just add a little more theres not doubt on XiYan about Xy feelings for Jing to support your line.
XiYan King had witness her dedications to her medical stuffs before .

🤣🤣🤣🤣 are u serious Yes Xiyan King did mentioned Xiao Yao being similar to her mother who studied medicine and spread her knowledge across the wilderness and Xiao Yao is doing the same but doing more research adding more to original in a more easy way so normally people can cured in inexpensive way. Its this compassion that Xi Yan king was meaning. Theres not a line on chapters on XiYan king doubt on Xiao Yao love Jing. And really those are two stories that can be read separately. Tone is different
Why have mother love story have to be counted as same for daughter. Lyf did not tell A Heng story..especially in this context its clear this XiYan king was seeing Xy compassion.
You can still missed the whole plot during those 42 years. So just concerned with yourself about this missing point.

Yes she delay the wedding at first bcos iof her bond with CX (she felt CXneeded her and her marriage would make them a bit apart. So she was just buying.) and it only lasts to 42 years bcos the war between . You really dismissed this info. But theres no purpose in XY to kept it that long.
The writer wrote it just to develop a strong and proper ideal cp through time and made him introduced
to both of her parents first. They
were together"She kept chasing XL is total wrong
info" thats not in context. You say"chance"?
Her meeting with him noteven purely about
wanting to meet him. Lol She was not sad or even
unhappy hes not there at all or not having that
"chance". The author did not write the first
night for this novel cp. So are u feeling at ease or
find a way use it ease yourself with this info??
Let me tell U. Not every couple had their first
night on wedding night. Especially because she
wont be meetingthem in longtime again. I dont need to read her other novels. Other stories just other stories and not this one. We all know YaoJing is married and sexually attracted to each other. The whole chapter 20 is on them, and the most intimate scene in lyf. No denying of their actions and feelings in every word described. The author did not write smut for her couple here. Its another level. I mean she kept things mostly proper here. It made sense many couple in real life did not have it on that night after busy wedding party . There is nothing to be pissed here. YaoJing has many days and nights ahead.

Yes Jing and Xiao Yao love grew by time. I mean she loves him more and more as story progress. Actually in drama, she did give Jing her flower pounch twice. Somehow I saw it as a love token lol. She did actually confess she loved Jing. I know that anti jing disregard it but it is though. It is the line "I like you" but in here it means romantic love to a man. Its not lousy usage of word "love" like a more pure pure most online romance novel. Bcos the nature is just different.
I dont know how can anyone think its surface when she suffered her heartbreak for 10 years. Yes her trip to ocean with FFB did some distraction for her insomnia. Its for a short time. And Jing was always there in her heart and shes not really healed until she reunited with Jing. Crystal ball is beautiful. But as u can see it mostly represents their trip under ocean, and her urge SOS to it. But when once she got back with Jing, her heart absolute fine and happy
again with Jing. Another time she lost Jing again, she went into 4 days sleep. Her body is fine but she wished this loss to just be a dream. She suffered her yearning heartache for years. (Naturally just repeat singing her love song for him). In the context, I understand it as XY character growth bcos she's no longer running away from her own emotion but commit to it. (I did not once see her long in such a way for XL).
Yes XY was very devasted at XL. (I this was sad this level at other losses too. Very different from the one for Jing which is more like losing the one who gave her emotional life). The tragedy is that XL never really accept their bond (in which XL thought its better she has no attach to it). As for this mirror thing , i cannot get why some think any related to romantic stuffs. I see she kept memories there. She even let Jing record Ffyy&Hou scheme with it. Isnt it clear XL just cut out any memories she had him. ( I mean in our gallary , do we only keep our crush pic). So this association with mirror and romance is just completely weird. For me. As for why Jing was not in the mirror, situation was never that needing to keep memory. As of this context i take it as he was not memory but reality that going to be with her in the end.
By the way, Xiao Yao was sad bcos XL was dead and bcos he never accepted her although they had good some memory together before.
I will add this little more about bug. Think about it both CX and XL got it but not Jing. If lover bug was only meant to be shared
by lovers, then both CX & XL must be her lovers? I know some are going insists its only XL then that its really and permanantly planted. In context its clearly shown/written that this reason is because XL whole heartedly took it.
Think about it in common sense to what that old man said about how this paired of bugs can be shared between lovers only. Would it be appropriate if its shared between non lovers
when you feel the emotion of another person or your feelings and emotions known by third man. Including another man feel what u are doing with your hubby in bed too. Very inappropriate. Thats why. I could not see other reason at all. And the old man only saying whats in legend not that he really completely know this bug was created for saving lives in original. Since its life and emotion connected who will shared it with those whom they don't love? (Xiao Yao didnt know this for long time, she only take it as poisonuous bugs for long time and used it for protection)
Well all in all, its clear
Jing and Yao love grow
just naturally and was fully committed by end.
As for why the story is still only called "not tragic" "not sad", bcos all the characters still losing something. In yaojing case would their family ties. But in overall its still not sad end especially with CP having end up together by end.

I think you should read the novel. They cut alot of Jing and YaoJing scenes
The production I think favored XL in S2. His scenes are shot better. And the way they promote XL and XY, I cant wholly blame those fans. Like the way they make Zi and TJC sang together for cp song, or her wearing red in ep5 Lyf S2. But even that so its so weak to say their love as "the one". I personally did not see it from XY.
Yes pls read the book.

"Be real bro calling Jing manipulative, passive, and undependable is just rewriting the story to fit a narrative. He was never loud like Xiang Liu or ruthless like Cang Xuan, but he was the only one who stayed true from start to finish. He was Ye Shiqi and lastly he remains same."
🤣🤣😂😂
Are they just saying what their fav did and gaslight another character? Theres no way of
such showing in Jing character.
I remember the way they blame for Jing taking 15 years from XY. But really isnt it XL who took the bug from her knowing what it is but she doesnt. Saying he did protect her through it is not wrong. But although she raise it WXL not wholly knew what it is. It is bug that connects emotions also. Knowing her inner emotion is never inappropriate thing. Or do they think its appropriate? Isnt it "manipulating". In one hand he took credit for taking the bug from CX but not letting her know what she did not know. He also tracked down CX alongside with by tracking the bug too.
Are they always about this mask thingy idea to blame others that they dislike....bcos its their fav ways of doing things....not Jing ways.
(Im not saying all things are bad. However, cant deny its still manipulating and one way of thinking while looking "cool"? .
As for being passive?, i guess they just dont want to understand Xy together with Jing try to solve problem together. And in novel he s the key in making Xy meeting her mom. The journey only consisted on YaoJing and Haoling King.
About jumping ship. Its a rare thing. Many shiqi fans stay as jing fans.
Those who probably jump? Well I can only think that they dont actually like Shiqi to be love interest from start. I feel maybe they are too stick with this ..... tension(I dont find the right word yet) as stereotype for fl love interest, which is not here. Or else they just disappointed he did not go dark
or do things in chaos like their fav?. And those gaslight blames on Jing are just "their bitter disappointments" but not really the character Jing.

Jing hired XL bcos he is "friend" of XY, who can talk to her. Not him whom had no chance and was sick. (Even if inside he didnt really want to let her but he is willing let her go bcos he knew well xy and fenglong are not compatible) ..I dont know what this guy XL is thinking...his fans claimed he appeared in front of Jing so Jing can asked that of him ..like really which fortune teller god had told him that. What if Jing didnt ask loool. Maybe he just want to test something. Put aside that I guess his fans never
understand about "giving own choices", but this dominate thing is "good". If i have to put it still in good for him. He is doing what he think is good. But not opening way for her to decide in good term.
