Xiaoyao disappears one day and all 3 men have a kind of a I-miss-XY club where they get together over drinks and…
Here I offer you one more bonus...
In S1 when Cangxuan was getting married... I didn't understand why when xiaoyao was pretending to be unbothered when she saw TSJ standing sadly there, but Xiangliu made her heart race so she would react and have TSJ sprint over to her side...
This was because XL wanted Jing to hold her hand! So he can feel Jing hold his hand!! Its all clear now! And later when he saw Jing looking at them, he decided to take Xiaoyao away so Jing won't keep looking at his love rival instead....
wow this unexpected BL loveline...really runs so deep...
XL is definitely feeling jealous since he almost threw out Xiaoyao's tear just now... Some of us are just unhappy…
Tell me about it... the moment he revealed her dreaded birth secret into the world I really hated his guts... she had confided in him about how much insecurity she had over her 'birth secret', and he knew how it had tormented her over the centuries, yet he was willing to put her life at risk again just so he can cut her connection to Haoling so he could attack it for his grand 'unification' plan...
Saying they can protect her with a name etc is just ridiculous because who could tell when someone feeling desperate or radical with no qualms about bringing down their clans wanted to take a shot at her? Xiaoyao's life will never be safe again... and she was going to be forced to remain caged in his palace so that he can 'protect' her...
Xiaoyao disappears one day and all 3 men have a kind of a I-miss-XY club where they get together over drinks and…
Xiaoyao was just his love rival to get close to Jing!! and also vicariously feel Jing's touch and kisses ... OMG That love story is more entertaining than what S2 is dishing out for us honestly When they started off with Xiangliu letting Shiqi go after he broke into their army camp.... they convinced me... At that time I really was wondering, why would XL let a man who managed to track down their secret army camp when Xiyan soldiers have failed over centuries go just like that? Isn't that Shiqi a huuuuge security risk?? He didn't even beat Shiqi for a confession over who he was and how he managed to just stroll into their camp... or let him get injured by his men... I mean...right?
Here's an excerpt of XL's feelings when he recognized TSJ as the man who had been supplying their army over the past few centuries with supplies... I was laughing sooo hard...
"When Ye Shiqi went to rescue Xiaoliu, XL realized that was TSJ, he was so happy and thrilled ... he finally got a chance to get close to TSJ! when Xiaoliu blocked his face, he even smiled a little.... this was a smile of recognition! he was so happy! he was happy TSJ is still alive, and right before him. And he didn't say a thing and released them both right away. Jing attacked their camp and didn't even get a lashing from XL, didn't get scolded... compared to Xiaoliu, this is too much love"
Even in the novel Tushan Jing had more dialogue and scenes... What to do? You already have a female lead, a male…
Everyone is a plot device for someone in the novel... if you gauge their importance based on how often they appear, then Xiangliu was also a plot device... The drama really inserted alot of extra screen time for XL compared to how little he actually appeared in the novel...
In theory they should want it to finish before the Olympics start on July 26... so they either give 2 eps from…
At this point I think they need to end the drama before Olympics begin so that there is still some time for the drama to generate some buzz for them to reap some benefits... if the drama wraps right at Olympics... I think nobody will go back to talk about it at all after the games is over
At this point I feel like Jing is just a side character, while all the focus is on CX, XY and XL. Even An Nian…
Even in the novel Tushan Jing had more dialogue and scenes... What to do? You already have a female lead, a male lead and the special supporting actor with all the CG budget ( everyone was counting the 'amazing' petal cloud around Xiaoyao like the LYF team was charged $100 per petal particle )
Jing is not the 'side character', he is just being side-lined at the expense of the other cast who have more flex at the point of the shoot. My guess is, if dw played Xiangliu, XL would probably have just died offscreen like he did in the novel, the news coming from the mouths of others. You think you get any epic CG scene showing his true form? lol he also won't have those fighting, moping scenes suddenly inserted into scenes of others, be it during dancing, kissing... etc he will just be a background character who needed an epilogue to tie some loose ends.
Its just the harsh truth about C ent and their investors/backers.
Now we need a BL series like ... XL x Jing x CX ðŦĢ
Xiaoyao disappears one day and all 3 men have a kind of a I-miss-XY club where they get together over drinks and talk about her and how much they miss her... and one day, a drunk XL leans over to Jing and says... hey.... your kiss was sweet...
Cang Xuan is always angry and jealous just by looking at them being together. Unlike Cang Xuan, Xiang Liu has…
XL is definitely feeling jealous since he almost threw out Xiaoyao's tear just now... Some of us are just unhappy because we barely even saw the long shot of their long awaited kiss in S2 and we had to see XL moping for almost 5min in his seashell...which kind of also ruins XL's character... in the novel, we definitely don't get the impression he was this mopey..
XL has always been jealous of Jing earlier on, which was perfectly acceptable. He still has normal feelings and is not a saint... earlier on before yaojing really stabilized their relationship, he did plenty of bitchy moves too to create misunderstandings to let Jing think they are closer than they were... such as pulling Xiaoyao closer to him when he sees Jing looking...
But Xiangliu's love for Xiaoyao is definitely more selfless than Cangxuan-whose love is possessive and he seeks to control/keep her by his side.
Ok so I skimmed through the eps and am glad they kept the scene with XYâs mom. But how does everyone feel about…
Well i HATED it... it felt so low budget and completely just missing the mark. As you said, why only bring Xiaoyao now? After she came back for decades?? And if the mom had been barely holding on, why did he even take that long to bring her? In the novel, at least he had valid reason because it was actually life threatening to venture into the burning desert and he didn't even know if she was really still there...
My man Jingjing has his own harem now ðĪĄðĪĢ- Xiao Yao lover- Fenglong's bestie - Cang Xuan's kingdom expansion…
thanks i needed some cheering up... they cut a whole yaojing scene joking about their future kids and didn't even give us a close up of their kiss... ð
So we are all pretending that we forgot how CX also felt when XL bite her neck in season one. Eham eham???
But in Cangxuan's defense he didn't want the bug at all hahahahah
No wonder the Uncle Lirong said " If the couple cannot live together, there will be endless troubles" Who on earth wants to experience what their bugged partner is experiencing.. its like spying on her with a fitbit ððð
that's not it at all. XL is having a taste of a true kiss. he is tasting Jing's kiss.
ðð what has Tencent doooooone to our XL!! D*MMIT!! This is going to be as close to us seeing TJC in an indirect 'BL' since Feng Huo Liu Jin is not going to be released ever...

I guess LYF wanted TSJ to be æ (healing) not æŽē(desire) HAHAHAHAH
cue the meme of the horse drawing staring with great shading to a stick figure in the end..
