What makes him evil is the EVIL BONE. No matter that he feels love and emotions now, as long as that evil bone is inside of him he will continue to do questionable things. Those heart piercing nails is not to kill him. It's to help remove the evil bone. From ep 1 till now small clues are sprinkled in throughout. For instance if your rewatch the first several episodes you will notice that Xiaoyao sect keeps sending things like heart guarding scales and even Pang Yi Zhi wonders why his sect is all of a sudden starting to care about the stuff going on in the mortal world. From the very beginning we know that everything happening now is predetermined. What I appreciate about LSS is that she is single minded about her purpose. Yes she is falling in love with him but she can't let herself get wrapped up in it because no matter what that evil bone has to come out or he will become devil god and massacre the whole world. She also knows that the evil bone influences everything he does. He can do all the good in the world but after he dies his mortal death, he will till become the evil devil god unless she removes it. This is why she has to try the nails. As for Xiao Lin, her concern is that he will die before he can make it through his human trial to become immortal. He is like family to her (like a brother) and in her mind she is helping family. TTJ won't understand her sacrifice till after the evil bone is removed, but he will understand later.

I think so too! I'm excited for next week!

No because she gives him her immortal marrow so he will be safe.

good enough...it's better than a bad ending. I'm glad Tantai Zi Mi will be there!

it'll happen in the immortal arc

i thought the exact same thing. i rewatched a few episodes and I felt that I saw a bit of TTJ in him.

same!

true enough. He's too nice right now compared to how he was in the novel. I wish I hadn't read the novel first, but I read it a couple of years ago.

this is also true. However the XL scene is pivotal in the novel but I wish the drama would have shown more of TTJ's bad behavior before that. He's a bit too nice right now lol.

agreed. He was randomly killing innocent people at the bridge scene to lure YXW out. He did a lot of crazy obsessive horrible things in between. This part of the drama frustrates me because they make him seem so innocent when he WAS NOT.

I doubt they show it on the drama though. too bad! That was such a cute little arc.

I think in the drama they make it seem that way. But in the novel it's different. Like the bridge scene. When he got there he randomly started shooting people with arrows knowing it would lure LSS there. He had no regard for the innocent people. But in the drama they don't show that. But the XL scene is a pivotal moment and they had to show that. If the drama would have shown some of his behavior before the XL thing it would have made more sense i think. Although i see your point of view just from the drama standpoint. i think that if i had not read the novel first I would probably feel the same!

haha i do it all the time. it's hard to keep up with all the names! Plus I looked it up first just to be sure i was spelling it right lol

In the novel, while LSS is imprisoned after the nail incident he grew concerned that she would die and leave him. One of his men (Qi Mo) had forcefully married a woman and she hated him. After a while she calmed down and even had a child with him. Then one day while he was gone she killed herself and his entire family including her own child in a fire. After hearing this, TTJ began to feel uncertain when he thought about LSS. So he got the Fuci bracelet which is a magical weapon. He wears one and he put the other one on her. It can keep a person safe, but it will also kill her and him if she leaves him for more than 7 days. However, during the tower scene when she uses the alluring jade to switch her immortal spirit for his evil bone it can't keep her safe because the heavenly tribulation lightening will kill her.

I think she meant Bai Ziqian....that's TTJ when he is reborn after his death.

Fuci bracelet. Do you want to be spoiled?

trust me he's worse than her and incredibly brutal. But that's the whole point of the mortal arc. They both do not understand romantic love or how to trust. By the end, they learn how to love each other properly and patiently. I wish they could show in the drama how obsessive and stifling his love is throughout the mortal arc. He's so much sweeter than in the novel, but i think what I love is how flawed both of them are. I hate perfect heroes and heroines that never do wrong. I love seeing them both make mistakes and bad choices. It makes their later growth so much better!

I'm so glad! I think that scene was pivotal in his realization that he was helpless in the face of her death!

haha....it's cute. She's well behaved in front of SuSu but totally a demon in front of her dad. He encourages her naughtiness...lol

same....although his level of psycho would never pass censorship!
