Let's just say novel MY and drama MY are two different beings.😅 I don't know what constitutes domestic violence tho, if emotional violence is also included in the criteria.😅 SJ was not physically hurt, but the 100 years of ignoring each other COMPLETELY should have broken SJ to the point of demanding 100 years of marital s*x without his consent (he was really immobilized by that drug). He only came to appreciate her (i won't call his feelings love, they don't deserve to be called that) when she took care of him for seven years after being injured in the war of gods and devils. Novel MY was infinitely more cowardly than drama MY.
Li Susu isn't a romantic FL, I grant you that. At the beginning, she was only ever focused on her mission to kill…
I've thought about TTJ having someone else, someone simpler or something.... and nothing comes to mind. I mean, at the beginning, he really was hated by everybody, no matter what he tried (he tried being like Xiao Lin, doing everything his brothers were telling him to do, like bark like a dog). Blame that on the evil bone in him, of course, as it feeds everyone's resentment and evil thoughts towards him so the Devil God can rise from the accumulated power. Given that disadvantage, who else immune to the evil bone could approach him? No one else, except someone with a pure spiritual body who os unaffected by the evil of the evil bone. Why not another immortal? LSS herself mentioned somewhere that even her father was indifferent to the problems of the mortal world, so she couldn't ask for their help during her stay 500 years ago. So what immortal was present during that time in the mortal realm? No one else. (Typing this makes me think the immortals had it coming at the beginning for this indifference🤣🤣🤣)

At the rewatch, we've had the same thoughts too😅 that she continually misunderstands ML at the drop of a hat, example, in ep.8 where FL punches him for killing Lan'an,ep.21 where she says all those hateful words to him, and even at the very end, it was frustrating to watch her NOT say the words he desperately needs.
For me, I blame the FL's flaws blamed on :1) the script. I get it, 40 eps is too short to characterise her fully, and to uplift the ML and emphasize his growth and redemption, some things have to be thrown under the bus. Hence, FL being inconsistent, as well as some characterization for the 2nd leads (especially the wrapping up of the 3rd leads' story😭😭😭). I personally felt the drama should have been her story too alongside ML's especially as she is the only one who can ascend to be a true god and defeat the (Ancient) Devil God's evil plan. Sadly, that was what we were served. 😔 oh well, better that near-perfection than being shelved infinitely (poor HYX). 2) the length of a drama. Unlike the novel, we could have more insights on why FL was acting that way, as it can be explicitly or implicitly written there. Unfortunately, with a drama, no matter how excellently acted (and Bai Lu is the BOMB🔥🔥🔥) the acting and its intentions is entirely up to the viewer to interpret. I saw her differently, you see her differently, many others see her differently, and yet she was acted by one person. Weirdly enough, the frustration was exciting for me as it piqued my curiosity and my imagination about LSS and her intentions (independent of the drama). Masochist much?🤣🤣🤣 Soooo in conclusion, we're still friends🤣🤣🤣
FL is an absolute nightmare in this show. One sided actions, one sided decisions, no communication and idiotic…
Personally, I love Li Susu because she wasn't the typical heroine. She is the definition of strong, independent woman for me. She isn't the typical cute, adorable FL, but rather she is edgy, extreme sometimes, emotional, but dedicated to her task even if it hurt her and made her abandon all, even her love and her family. She is Tantai Jin's equal in every way, and more because it is from her (and his master) that he learns all important life lessons. I could go on in the many different ways I love her, but this should give you a clue just how much.

Li Susu isn't a romantic FL, I grant you that. At the beginning, she was only ever focused on her mission to kill the Devil God who killed everyone and the world that she loved. That was the very reason why she was sent back to Tantai Jin, the ML's time. So she wasn't really focused on establishing a romantic connection with him, because she had to successfully destroy the evil bone in ML in order to kill him and the potential Devil God in his future.
Her one sided actions and decisions only came about because she felt (and for the most part) she was alone in her mission. She can't communicate because how could you tell your target you're only there to kill him? But I hope, as you continue watching and try to better understand her character, you'll find out that despite her mission, she came to love ML in her own way, and she showed her love for him in the greatest possible way.
