Hi! Time for the rewatch. We are halfway done. 😯Please share your thoughts here. 💕EPISODE: 21
...I love PR soooo much❤ she's so cute😍 and yes, YQY's head is already broken for her🤣 ...the two lovebirds are reunited, with the overworked crow bringing in the news🤣🤣 the looks between NBY and TTJ😏😄 of course there would be a nail😰 ...AWWW couple clothes🤣 ...and because the lover's carry is sooo boring, let's do another kind of carry:the fireman's lift (of some sort🤣 how romantic(?)🤣 that would really hurt tho😅 ...walking for miles will not only give you those cute blisters😅 JUST KISS ALREADYYYYY🤣🤣🤣 ...that internal monologue about Sheng emperor feels so out of place just right after that sweet moment there. Should have just scratched that and left us with awkward TTJ. ...that spell casting is EVIL. Human sacrifices, and disturbing the remains of the dead is EVIL. ...sometimes, there are some moments where let's just scratch this and have some other scenes instead. YXW "acting cute" is it. I don't get this scene, other than BL being told to act cute. And she is cute, but it just feels so off. She didn't have to act cute when the dialogue was already good in itself. ...btw, as if a phoenix afraid of birds is going to follow a bird😅 ...again, internal monologue is soo off. ....Poor PR, hijacked out of her own bed🤣but at the same breath telling YXW to go to TTJ's bed🤣🤣🤣 amd she really is the best wingman/woman/fox, quick to pick up YXW's true feelings ...so TTJ suddenly leaving camp makes YXW suspicious enough and jump to the instant conclusion that XL is in danger? Why XL immediately? And why didn't anyone stop her if the soldiers were supposed to be instructed to watch over her? Was TTJ just baiting YXW to betray him too? But....why??? ....what's up with YXW's dialogue on XL's army being the last strong army, etc etc? I don't get the point of it...like, get to the point, YXW, what are you trying to say? Or are you being like PYZ and practicing divination? ...um excuse me XL, it's not TTJ that's the problem, it's your dad. ...XL being the level headed one and sending YXW back in case TTJ notices she's gone to him (too late on that count) ...EXCUSE ME XIAO YI, how paranoid can you get to jump to those conclusions about your SON and your better version in the Jing Kingdom? He doesn't need to want to beat you, you're already beaten! ...the standoff between white soldiers and black ones made me think about how white doesn't really mean good (except in the case of Ming Ye) and black is not necessarily evil (except in the case of the ADG). ...Xiao Yi has no right to dictate what anybody's fate should be. Nobody is. ...WHAT DEBT?? XY cashing in on debts of gratitude when he hasn't done anything to deserve any. He's like that sperm donor... ......I'd call that petty tantrum if it wasn't the ashes of TTJ's mother that was thrown to the ground😭 .....WHY IS THAT CRAZY B*ST*RD TALKING SO MUCH???? (---interrupting this moment to say: LYX's hands are so pretty tho.) ---back to the show--- ...like TH, Xiao Yi deserves a more painful death. Like the one TTJ's going to describe later on. For the evil he caused, he deserves no less than a painful death. ....YX going crazy and stabbing TTJ, with him letting her, to repay all the pain that he caused, and to end her suffering😭 ...evil YBC. poor maid. She's now openly showing how ruthless she can be. That maid's loyalty was worthless to her. ...hmm. so just how crappy was the defenses around the capital that TTJ's guards could easily defeat them? ...YBC deciding to be a leech just to preserve her life. That internal monologue tho, is it only for self preservation that she leeches herself to TTJ, or is it greed for power? ...he said "hao ah," but to HER??? -not counting this- ...I hate it when insecurities come up suddenly just when you really think yoi've gotten over it. Seeing it playing out here in TTJ just reminds me how frustrating it can be. ...and of course YXW misunderstanding why YBC was there adds fuel to the stirring coals of trouble. ....TTJ asking if YXW was in the camp all night begs the question: what exactly did he want to hear? If she lied, he would get angry because she lied to him and feel betrayed that she had to lie to him, if she told the truth, he would feel angry and betrayed... sooooooooYXW dodges the question.😅 ---interrupting again to sayLYX has the most gorgeous eyes. I'D LOVE TO LOOK INTO THEM AS LONG AS YOU WANT🤣🤣🤣🤣--- (back to the show) ...why does TTJ have to do this tho???😭😭 I get it, he's sad, and grieving the loss of his mother's ashes, and in a way Yingxin too, and he's making YXW feel the brunt of it by making her as miserable as he is. But........why did he have to do it? 😭 in the end, he hurt himself deeper with all that's happened that night.😭 ....in another life, if TTJ could have only saved his mother's ashes, and maybe Yingxin too, YXW's "betrayal" would have passed by in a calmer way.. TTJ: why did you leave the camp? YXW: I thought you were going to fight XL. Why did you leave? TTJ: i went to get back my mother's ashes. ---the end--- ...as it was, need I remind myself, this is not a rom com. This is beyond tragedy even.😭 so ok. Wallow in TTJ's pain. ...this only feeds into YXW's trauma with the DG, that she's seeing TTJ again as the DG and not TTJ😭 ok self, wallow in YXW's pain too. ...BL's face is soooo expressive, you really feel her disgust through the screen. ...really, it begs the question, what exactly did TTJ expect YXW to do, feel, say with everything he said? Instead of asking for comfort, he had to paint himself black for her to only see his darkness, and not the pain. ...but.... after hearing him say all those hurtful things again, while flashing back to their sweet moments, was he saying all these things because he didn't want her to be unfortunate like his mother and Yingxin? Because he really took Xiao Yi's words that he is a jinx too much to heart that he didn't want YXW to be the next one to suffer? Like he wants to push her away deliberately? .....the nails retracting scene is soooooooo off. ...TTJ laughing all alone is....the saddest. ...that stab wound is not right... the stab was nearer the collar, right? ...those lonely eyes.🥺 ...PR visiting YQY amd asking a soldier to give him her medicine. Is that soldier NBY's brother?🤣🤣🤣 they look so similar in being sooooo clueless about their orders.🤣 ....YBC and PR meet. Return the love threads!!! ...pretty as her bangs are, it must be annoying SZN to always have them block her face🤣 ....YQY stuttering🤣😍 ....yes, let's please forget how annoying it is that XL doesn't even flinch when the soldiers report his wife went with another man.😑 I'll say his lines to him: "I'd rather marry someone who shows her/his emotions, than a saint" ...i really like the actor who plays TTML, and I'm fighting against the temptation to ff because of him. ....TTJ remembering YXW. I stand by what I think, he wants to send her away so she won't suffer because of him. ....how DARE that B try to bribe NBY?! ....TTJ orders YBC to serve him, just like how YXW served him. Is it because of loneliness, or to make YXW jealous? Or is it because he just wants to torture himself with someone he actually hated? And wishing that if he really was a jinx, then she'd suffer?😈 ....again. thinking about the nails is sooooo off. ....ok that's a better ending to the episode. (It did not end in the middle of a conversation)
So we're back to having a roller coaster ride again.😑20s episodes are the best.😑
Dont mind me... just saying for the fun of it...If ever LYX and Bailu dated, do they even have the time? It seems…
Do they have to go out tho? LYX can cook up a storm, and he can entertain his dear Lulu with a lot of things, maybe interest her into gaming?......... and other stuff.🤣
SPOILER FOR ENDINGwhat do you think about the ending? Will it be like it is, he'll just be a speck of a soul in…
I'm writing and rewriting the heck out of that ending in my mind... I refuse to believe TTJ will stay as a speck of soul in the scale forever, and not even bother to see Ami and Susu.😭 anyway, there's always the real HE in the novel to take comfort in.
Ep.20I wish Youku has someone review the subs to make them more precise. There are so many lines that can be improved.For…
It really is irresistible seeing Cutie BL🤣 ok, only for her, I'll suspend disbelief.🤣 but really, if only the cute moments were not so suspicious and slightly devious, I would enjoy them wholeheartedly.
Episode 20Awwww ❤️❤️ the firefly scene…. At this moment, I only felt pure, genuine and beautiful for…
I like how XL in white and TTJ in black emphasizes their difference.. at first, one would think the meaning is XL is good, and TTJ is bad, because of how we usually assign white for good and black for bad, but when we watch, we know it stands for how their destinies are total opposites of each other.
Ep.20I wish Youku has someone review the subs to make them more precise. There are so many lines that can be improved.For…
I wonder why LSS is wondering how much it will hurt...he's going to die if you do that🤯
yeah, the collecting of the spikes is what makes YXW/LSS's character so confusing when put side by side with her character in the first episodes.😮💨 Much as I like cute YXW, I always wonder if she is sincere or not with everything she did with TTJ. When did sincerity start, and when does scheming end?
Hi! Just cueing us in for the rewatch. 😊Please drop your comments here. 💕EPISODE: 20
I'm bracing myself because we're entering the 20s episodes.😬 ...so we continue with that cut off conversation bw TTJ and PR, our fave siblings. Teaching TTJ about liking/loving/having feelings for someone made PR think about her own lost love threads. ........aaaand of course he'd come to the cliche conclusion to shower YXW with expensive, cute, gifts😅 he actually knows how to spoil a girl🤣 that scene with YXW sleeping with TTJ's cloak got past me the first watch. 🥺 ....🤣🤣🤣🤣poor crow! More overworked than PR with these two lovebirds🤣 ...awww TTJ, you're not wooing just ANY woman, you're wooing YXW🥰 and of course she's going to teach you the right way of giving gifts.🥰 and how to be homesick as well.🥺 makes me think about how I've only seen fireflies when I was younger as well. Now, not so much, if at all. 🥺 ....XL being stuck bw a rock and a hard place. Being such a good son to such an undeserving father is tiring. ...TTJ learning his lesson not to throw a tantrum when YXW feels happy about her family....JUST KISS ALREADY!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 "hao ah"😍 ....General Ye and Grandmother reflecting on how the family has treated TTJ, not with fear, but with regret and appreciation for TTJ's kindness towards them. ...TTJ also showing YXW his heartfelt desire, to see his mother.🥺❤ introducing her as his wife (sorry, YXW introducing herself as his wife). Concubine Rou would have liked her very much.🥺❤ ....and the most awkward proposal happens.🤣🤣🤣 "Where would you like to be buried in?"....but a second later, sadness hits me as she says "who says I want to be with you the rest of my life?"🥺😢 ...TTJ asking YXW to love him sincerely. YXW suddenly feels guilty that she's lying to him by not being the real YXW he knows. (She shouldn't have worried, TTJ has forgotten the cruel YXW, and only sees this reformed YXW in front of him) ...YXW of course has an identity crisis. (I thought your goal was to make TTJ fall in love with you? Why are you surprised he is? And her internal monologue about when she can collect the spikes...is the same monologue I have looking at the family mart stickers🤣🤣 when will I be able to get some??🤣🤣) ...Sheng emperor gets increasingly paranoid and jealous of HIS OWN SON. XL deserved better. Why oh why can't he just overthrow his own father??? ...so TTJ is also impatient to end the war and so he baited XL and Sheng emperor to make their move. Ahhh, if only they left each other alone... was it worth it to reunite? ...yeah, I felt that sigh too, TTJ 😮💨 ...I wonder, what drives XL, really? Love for his father seems to outweigh the wellbeing of his soldiers or his people. He knows his father is wrong, but still he follows orders. He knows it's hopeless, but he still marches on😮💨 Noble as he looks, I just don't get him. ...CAPE FLIP!!! and strut.🤣 ...🙄YBC says she's going to die if XL dies. (Well, she did.) ...Crow Mail!!! ❤ ...TTJ being doubtful again.🥺 Juat when you thought you got over it already, insecurities will come up to the surface every once in a while.🥺 ....YXW sneaks out of the capital, of course. ....YBC and XL being dramatic. Ok. ....TTJ sulking bec no letters from YXW. NB staying out of it bec it's "family business"🤣🤣
...the two lovebirds are reunited, with the overworked crow bringing in the news🤣🤣 the looks between NBY and TTJ😏😄 of course there would be a nail😰
...AWWW couple clothes🤣
...and because the lover's carry is sooo boring, let's do another kind of carry:the fireman's lift (of some sort🤣 how romantic(?)🤣 that would really hurt tho😅
...walking for miles will not only give you those cute blisters😅 JUST KISS ALREADYYYYY🤣🤣🤣
...that internal monologue about Sheng emperor feels so out of place just right after that sweet moment there. Should have just scratched that and left us with awkward TTJ.
...that spell casting is EVIL. Human sacrifices, and disturbing the remains of the dead is EVIL.
...sometimes, there are some moments where let's just scratch this and have some other scenes instead. YXW "acting cute" is it. I don't get this scene, other than BL being told to act cute. And she is cute, but it just feels so off. She didn't have to act cute when the dialogue was already good in itself.
...btw, as if a phoenix afraid of birds is going to follow a bird😅
...again, internal monologue is soo off.
....Poor PR, hijacked out of her own bed🤣but at the same breath telling YXW to go to TTJ's bed🤣🤣🤣 amd she really is the best wingman/woman/fox, quick to pick up YXW's true feelings
...so TTJ suddenly leaving camp makes YXW suspicious enough and jump to the instant conclusion that XL is in danger? Why XL immediately? And why didn't anyone stop her if the soldiers were supposed to be instructed to watch over her? Was TTJ just baiting YXW to betray him too? But....why???

...um excuse me XL, it's not TTJ that's the problem, it's your dad.
...XL being the level headed one and sending YXW back in case TTJ notices she's gone to him (too late on that
count)
...EXCUSE ME XIAO YI, how paranoid can you get to jump to those conclusions about your SON and your better version in the Jing Kingdom? He doesn't need to want to beat you, you're already beaten!
...the standoff between white soldiers and black ones made me think about how white doesn't really mean good (except in the case of Ming Ye) and black is not necessarily evil (except in the case of the ADG).
...Xiao Yi has no right to dictate what anybody's fate should be. Nobody is.

But........why did he have to do it? 😭 in the end, he hurt himself deeper with all that's happened that night.😭

TTJ: why did you leave the camp?
YXW: I thought you were going to fight XL. Why did you leave?
TTJ: i went to get back my mother's ashes.
---the end---
...as it was, need I remind myself, this is not a rom com. This is beyond tragedy even.😭 so ok. Wallow in TTJ's pain.
...this only feeds into YXW's trauma with the DG, that she's seeing TTJ again as the DG and not TTJ😭 ok self, wallow in YXW's pain too.

....again. thinking about the nails is sooooo off.
....ok that's a better ending to the episode. (It did not end in the middle of a conversation)
So we're back to having a roller coaster ride again.😑20s episodes are the best.😑
(When YXW invited TTJ to come with her in visiting her family)
yeah, the collecting of the spikes is what makes YXW/LSS's character so confusing when put side by side with her character in the first episodes.😮💨 Much as I like cute YXW, I always wonder if she is sincere or not with everything she did with TTJ. When did sincerity start, and when does scheming end?
