Well from what I understand -- Mu Chen already fell in love with her over time (despite the fact at the beginning he didn't completely like it at first bcos Xia Yu told him to restrain himself from falling in love with her -- but eventually grown to really like/love her) -- each time he goes rescues her, you can hear in his voice that he really cares for her. He will do everything he can to protect her including taking revenge on her behalf, etc. He stated many times that Xia Yu is his woman ...and that he also got jealous when he thought his brother(An Shao) likes her too and also when he found out that Xia Yu was trying to seduce his brother but not him -- he also got jealous about it as well. So, to be honest -- he long have fall for Xia Yu when he told Lin Anbai - that used to be with him for 10 years -- that he has no more feelings for her and that his destiny/encounter with Xia Yu has changed who he is.
Also, I think when they show a flashback of him on the rocky shoreline -- and a girl who rescued him at that time was probably also the Xia Yu too. To be honest he doesn't want to break up with her but actually wanted to marry her for real. Even he told his assistant to plan the wedding venue in according that what Xia Yu actually likes and helps her choose the wedding dress, etc. He never once wants to break up with her -- but it was his so-called grandpa that wants to ruin his life/control him even though so-called "step down" from the company he had be in control of so long. His grandpa is the worst one of all -- manipulative, controling him, wants to kill him, throw him in the ocean when he was ten years old, etc! Mu Chen is actually being treat as nothing but a "pawn" in his eye. The grandpa never truly cares for him after the Mu Chen's parents passed away. After some time, I even think Chief Chuan - realizes this problem too - cause he said to him - "I don't recognize you anymore -- so are more a stranger than whom I've been serving so long" - meaning he doesn't trust this manipulative grandfather Mu Chen's anymore too.
So, my guess at the ending scene -- Mu Chen ran away from the arrange marriage to this other girl that the so-called grandpa organized and go after Xia Yu to marry her instead because he actually loves her a lot and cares for her the most -- cause he said so many times that he will protect her at all cost (over the course of the drama) and will not break that promise. His feelings for her are real - so when the Xia Yu walked away from that moment that she found out the truth of "the grandpa of Mu Chen's" -- he actually broke down and cried. Cause Xia Yu's influenced him in so many ways and the little moments he had with her actually shows that he loves her -- he tried so many times to tell her the truth that it's no longer a fake marriage -- which at first he originally thought it to be - but over time - the moments he begins to have feelings for her become real and he changed his mind into wanting to make this marriage for real and not fake anymore.
Therefore, getting back to your question to is it real or not? I think it's real. He truly loves her and ran away from the "grandpa arrange marriage" to go and proposed to Xia Yu instead -- to marry him, cause if you look carefully, the suit that he is wearing when he came to her at the beach where Xia Yu was... was actually the one that Xia Yu chose for him at the "wedding clothing shop" that they both were at before all the mess that the "grandpa" made. He proposed to her in "that suit" that Xia Yu chose and not any other suit that someone else chose for him. Plus the dress that she was wearing (Xia Yu's) -- was the one that Mu Chen gave to her at the beginning of their relationship too (supposedly fake marriage but turn out to be real relationship where both of them fall in love with one another)...
As a result, the ending may be rushed - but that's how I see it and observed throughout the whole drama. Even at one point his brother (An Shao) supports their relationship too by helping them find the person they were looking for (the address) because he wants them both to really find happiness with one another ....and also when An Shao realizes the mistake he made when Xia Yu ended up getting into trouble at the fishing village -- he also took revenge for Xia Yu too.
*My two cents worth of observation and guess of the drama ending* Watch it on your own accord again and for those who haven't watch it -- give it a try and see if you actually like it or not. Short drama - but I actually enjoy it.
With a promise of spesial edition and that trailer... I'm afraid it just an interview with some cut from entire…
I feel that the special edition will be something similar on the line of what "The Starry Love" drama did -- have them at a fan-meet and they enact the possible ending that they were supposed to have in the drama (that's my guess only).
I completely agree- those biased people around TTJ- including LSS are worse than him. Not one person gives him…
I just wished that they really learn to see him as he is...not just because he (future/super past of him) was "supposedly be the DG/DG's fetus" whatnot. Wished they are not like you say "overly judgemental/bias/sterotyped" him to who he really is. But honestly -- be honest with him and stop giving him misunderstandings/false hopes. Why can't most of them come clean with him?? I dislike ppl "labeling" others before even getting to know who he truly is. I mean TTJ works so hard to change for the better -- not the worst for Ye Si Wu -- afterall she had taught him in his mortal life -- and technically survived that life of his 500+ years later too. I also really wish to get rid of the "inner torturing voice supposedly from DG spirit that's left inside of him" for good -- a be really given a good chance to live a happier life than what he has gone through all these years. Wanna *hug* him and protect him too. But not in the painful way that YSW did.
With the fact that everyone except his master and LSS that cares about him -- and may be Ye Ji Wu and Bai Yu that could care about him (TTJ) but prevented them from being saved from the punishment by others -- shouldn't have to die. But the rest -- honestly they are worst than TTJ! Actually makes me think they are the "devil" that caused TTJ's downfall and forced to be admitted for the fact he is the "Demon's devil fetus". I mean TTJ knows the fact and wants to desparately change his course of his life -- but for those who are super selfish/ego-centric/think they're always right -- is ruining TTJ for having the opportunity to change. At one point while they were originally all going against him (including his master) -- at one point stopped doing that and remain TTJ to calm down his mind and let it return to normal -- but by doing that -- it ended up him being locked onto that particular control "demon ridiance" tower -- and it hurts him more than being zapped by the others. I hope that LSS will awake soon enough to go rescue him from the so-called punishment that he doesn't deserve at all... So, tbh -- I feel totally sad for TTJ -- he doesn't deserve it and shouldn't be forced into something he doesn't want to be -- esp when LSS (Ye Si Wu) made him realize that there's more to life -- than the path of darkness. He was trying to get a grip of being a better person who can love, care and help others -- and not the other way around. Therefore, I do hope that this drama will get a happy ending despite the fact he will end up sacrificing himself in the process of it -- somewhere down the road in this story -- also I still don't trust Di Man at all. He has a very bad hidden agenda.
Today's episode was so painful! Even though the main CP didn't have much screen time, them suffering separately…
And that tower scene isn't actually completely caused by Tantai Jin -- but the other guy Tantai Ming Lang. He's the worst! He should be killed!! Argh!! Plus yes -- Ye Ye Bing Chang should die! Who cares -- I'm sure Tantai Jin would choose Ye Xi Wu no matter what. But then again Ye Xi Wu (aka Li Su Su) is not there to be saved...cause her mission is to kill/remove that so-called devil bone in him... which makes their relationship complicated. Nonetheless, Tantai Jin still loves her no matter what she does too. He doesn't want to lose her in the end.
Sigh...so slow with Eng subs! Here it says up to ep 20 and ep 21 is suppose to come soon. But only found up to 18 without subtitles. The rest are missing?!?
i actually like it, the leads were good too. except....things went too rushed towards ep 20 ... it feels like…
I have a feeling that because of China's latest restrictions, the original drama length must have been longer and they (the director) had to cut out some scenes in order to be allowed to air on WeTV. This happens a lot with Cdramas if you are not aware of this matter.
It seems like it’s at the end of the second arc of the story which is generally the slowest bit, gearing up…
I feel like she won't because she's arrested and thrown into jail. How can she possibly return again, doesn't make sense at all. NVM I just saw the other trailers and later on she will return b/c the bad guy took her out of the jail and will be using her again -- to go against the main ML and FL again... sigh... but there will definitely be quite some angst coming up soon b/w the 2 main leads as expected despite the fact that they loved each other and married too. Always good things don't last long for the 2 of them.
Lol, is 3rd prince calling crown prince jealous with that jar of vinegar? So cute.
yup ... very obvious he can tell that crown prince wants to be pair with her -- somehow, I think he's falling in love with her -- but not realizing that he's doing that already. Cause he's constantly trying to test her and yet at the same time - when they were younger -- Hua Liu Li wrotes letters to all in the royal palace -- and he happens to have read them - and believes she's the one whom caught his attention most -- yet -- as well -- while testing her -- some parts of the feelings inside of him is stirring up in him - cause many a times - he goes and somewhat saves her in the most misunderstanding ways between the two of them. Anyhow -- they both don't want to admit that they like each other. Guess you can says that they both have somewhat a matter of "trust" issues to those whom they don't know well enough.
Unlike the 2 of them - the 3rd prince sees everything more clearly than the 2 main leads themselves.
TBH I wanted to see Liu Li kick some ass. So far from the premise, she seems really good at martial art but just…
her uncle told her to hide her skills in this country - palace/from everyone around her. Only to those who are close to her, knows she's skilled with marital art - in some ways -- it's to not let on how skillful she is yet at the same time -- I think she's on a mission to do something for her country and her family too.
Like everyone says -- I cried like crazy and the ending wasn't completely what I hoped for or for everyone else who is commenting here! I really hope that Youku will release a special - just like how they released a special for Immortal Samsara or iQiyi did it for Love Between Fairy & Devil!! They definitely need more to the ending -- also like "Blood of Youth" too!! Please, please, please give us more of the story to us for the proper ending instead of cliffhanger ending (which we all don't like).
Anyhow - stil the drama is worth watching - much more interesting than "Chong Zi" drama that was almost airing at the same time. I found this drama full of fun, humor, lots of life lessons in it (including how to forgive others, let go of the past, etc), etc. Every actors/actresses did well in this drama - congrats - well done !!
Welp, now they have gone and done it. They sent Tan to the dark-ish side. Let’s not forget, she was supposed…
Actually he already remembers everything in Ep 38!! They are back together again - to two main leads!! :) let's hope that this drama - will in fact be a happy ending -- but there's the biggest problem now ...b/c of what they Heavenly Father did to ShuZi's family and the others -- she's not happy when Tan let him go - by getting rid of his powers only and not killing him. From the sounds of it when she (ShuZi) was by herself -- she still wants to revenge again the Heavenly Father for what he did to her family. This will definitely cause a lot of problems in the last 2 episodes. I do hope the 2 main leads will fix this issue -- otherwise...i dunno what to say.
