the doomed yuri vibes were STRONG

This is interesting read, which you are entitled to your headcanons, of course, but again, like much of the above, I don’t think it’s supported by canon.

If we are talking about what’s written in the narrative; yes Fu Zhou is Ziqi, and yes, Ziqi and Miaomiao experienced that world and fell in love. This is a transmigration story. They fall in love in another story, and then meet up again in the real world. It is truly that simple.

The book signing thing makes perfect sense. He wanted to revise the book because doing so would help fulfill his three wishes toward Miaomiao (and just from a practical POV, recovery from literal brain surgery is not fast. he would have been stuck at home for a while). As for her, she couldn’t remember his name or face. Of course she hadn’t found him and assumed it wasn’t real. Not sure I want to continue debating this. You seem to have a lot of fan theories and that’s fine, but that’s not really what I think OP was asking. Have a nice night.

He did write a fanfic version of himself, in middle school. and then he transmigrated during surgery and became Ziqi. The antagonist ‘Fu Zhou’ that unleashes the destruction of heaven is his middle school self, the existing narrative, because it’s who wrote the original novel. Present day Ziqi is the one that’s in there as Mu Sheng, while he’s having surgery, and he and LMM are rewriting that story.

This is a typical (though very well executed) transmigration drama that ends with the two characters who fell in love meeting in the real world. Truly it is not deeper than that, and we aren’t supposed to believe that the person LMM meets in the real world is NOT the person she fell in love with in the parallel world. That’s why ‘Mu Ziqi is still in this world’ is important.

you are correct. Mu Qingshi represents the first time LMM saves him. Lin Yu is unconnected to Miaomiao originally.

don’t agree with that interpretation at all and I don’t think canon supports it. I think it’s explicitly not the case.

over and over Ziqi is shown as Fu Zhou’s avatar in the book. His half demon heritage is analogous to his chronic illness IRL, he is the one who has slips that reveal fragments of another life (the bunny apple, the swing chair, and my favorite, the crescent weapon being the same shape as the pen Miaomiao left behind). No one else has this. They are one and the same. When he wrote the original book Ziqi was his avatar because he was angry and wanted to destroy the world (remember Ziqi became an antagonist in that version). When he transmigrated with Miaomiao, he experienced and was able to rewrite Ziqi as a hero.

‘Mu Ziqi still lives on in this world.’ As the official Weibo said.

that’s possible as a mechanic, but there’s no implication he has control of what happened and certainly none that he manipulated Miaomiao into it. Plus The System required he fall in love with her, but not vice versa

the series is quite clear that this happens while Fu Zhou is having surgery. Ziqi and Fu Zhou are the same.

Fu Zhou’s real life name is even Ziqi. You see if on his medical paperwork.

Ziqi is Fu Zhou and Fu Zhou is Ziqi. Fu Zhou transmigrates into the book during his surgery. He just doesn’t have memories of his own world like Miaomiao does.

btw Fu Zhou’s real name IS Ziqi. We see it on his medical paperwork. Fu Zhou is a pen name.

used his spiritual energy to pull her into it?? that’s never implied. the mechanic of how Miaomiao got pulled into the story as well is never explained

the fact that Miaomiao transmigrated into the book has nothing to do with Fu Zhou. It’s not like he has magic powers IRL

Miaomiao is an adult with a career, and Ziqi is twenty. The show outright says he was born twenty years ago.

he could feel before that episode, he just brushed it off as XLH’s emotions affecting him. there are concrete examples of this, like when he feels jealous seeing XLH and Changheng getting married in the Tianji mirror. his tree started to heal from the moment she touched it. the emotions just started returning much more intensely after he realized she was reviving it.

oh I was just talking about this today with a friend. Drama Ziqi is definitely a hardcore tsundere with a few unhinged moments, not a yandere.

MDL also has actor/actress stans that will try to tank ratings of other shows, and I think that may be happening here.

this being probably the most well received and critically acclaimed fantasy dramas of the year, and we’re still lingering at 8.4? 🤨

it’s YSX and also the screenwriter, Bai Jinjin. she wrote for this and LBFAD

I’m a little surprised it hasn’t hit 30k heat yet. Hoping it does soon…

Esther’s vehicle= she is the starring role, the central role, and it’s very much always been treated that way, as opposed to a show where the ML and FL are marketed equally. She was literally the only character even in the first teaser.

For the record I love DYX (see my icon), and I’m not happy he’s being dubbed either. But this is very much Esther’s vehicle and always has been.

Mao Mao is the protagonist and Esther Yu is more famous. Cope.
