It’s so refreshing to see all the resentment leave the series. In some xian xia they keep the misunderstanding and resentments between the leads going for the whole series (Goodbye My Princess (which I love), AoL and even my favourite show in the world TMoPB was guilty of this).
But I think most of us were tired of seeing what (misplaced) hatred of YY was doing to YD. The fact that she accepts that she will love TZ/YY but that they should put others before their love is so beautiful it makes me tear up. I think she continues to love him because there is no misunderstanding, but she will think the best way to do that is to return TZ back to YY and let him fulfil his responsibilities of keeping the 3 realms peaceful. She will decide the best way to love him is to protect and love him from a distance, she understands and doesn’t want to get in his way anymore.
But then YY will return and he won’t accept that. He will bravely, in a TZ like manner pursue her and then I will get all the happiness back in my life!
Honestly this makes sense since in the trailer for this season I saw YD stabbing TZ so I was pretty confident…
I watched one of the fan videos which predicts she will be dying when YY returns, so he takes her to the heavenly realm to be cured. And Zhi Xi gives her half of her heart. But I thought ZX gave the emperor half of her heart to get him out of a coma? Or did she just give her heart blood? 🤷🏻♀️
These two episodes were amazing. I’ve never seen such character growth in a drama. YD herself is pushing TZ/YY towards the path of greater good. And she forgives him 🥹 So SO happy.
And I have to admit I didn’t care much for TZ’s backstory and his Shi fu before, and most xian xia doesn’t explore it to be honest. But seeing TZ at his shi fu’s grave was heartbreaking, and seeing his responsibility and bond towards his sisters and brothers makes you really understand how hard it is to be TZ, how loved he is, and how much his life before YD meant to him. (I know lots of people here are huge fans of AoL, so apologies beforehand for the comparison! but it always bothered me that when Xu Feng was king in the mortal realm his personality wasn’t any different, and he didn’t feel burdened by a sense of responsibility or seem to have any close ties. At the end he just committed suicide and left his kingdom. It felt like the writers were just giving him a chance to do what he couldn’t in the godly realm but didn’t offer him any character growth.)
The last part is beautiful 🥺 TZ says to YD ‘Wouldn’t it be wonderful if time could stop and I could live in this moment forever.’ And YD says (excuse my happy tears 🥹😭😭😭) ‘when you’re with me, every moment is wonderful.’
It looks like the actual date they went on, but if they make TZ pass out mid-date and I find out this is a dream I’ll trash my tv!!
Edit: turns out I skipped the few seconds at the end and it is a dream! FFS!!!!! 🤬😡🤬
Just sitting here refreshing my YOUKU app and mydramalist page 🤣 Everytime anyone comes near me I’m like ‘I’m busy! 😠’ And I am! Busy waiting for TZ and YD.
Just thinking, I remember people thinking YY should have been braver at the beginning and defied the heavenly emperor. But I think being brave and dying together is only something two people who truly understand each other can do.
I don’t think YY realised until after the forgetting river (when she refused to cross) how much she loved him. He always knew the depth of his love for YD (that’s why he took the love punishment) - but you don’t truly know anyone else’s, and he thought that there was a possibility she could forget him and live happily - which if it were most people could probably be the case. Even lamp gave him up at the end and wanted to consume him instead.
In the first arc, when YY didn’t understand YD, to make YD suffer the love punishment (where most gods die) was not an option when he truly believed she could move on and forget him. So he took the love punishment alone because he can only be confident in his own love for her. But in the third arc, they will suffer it together because they now know that neither wants to live without the other.
Every time they release new episodes I finish and then I’m like ‘was that it?? 😭😭😭?’ I just can’t seem to get enough. I just want to see them happy together 🥺
It’s making me so sad seeing TZ getting so weak. I can see how YD has no choice but to restore him since he’s dying but my god it’s going to kill me when TZ dies 😭
I wish YD would be honest with him. She wanted honesty from YY in the heavens but now she’s the one not being honest. Now TZ feels unloved and is in pain. She should tell him she loves him but he’s dying, that’s better than pretending she doesn’t!
Although, maybe that’s what she does in the next few episodes because it looks like she softens a lot and he’s sad because he’s not the first one she loved.

The voiceover says it’s immediately after a kiss scene. But I don’t recognise the setting or the clothes.

😭😢
I can’t believe he’s leaving us 😢
Wish they’d left in the scene with her protecting him
