I was working this out yesterday with another commenter.
LXY is the grandson of Crown Prince Fangji and Nanyin Princess. They were ordered to die so another royal member took the throne. This new emperor couldn't have kids so that consort from the Pagoda case had the affair with the Nanyin sorcerer (who happens to be looking for the missing son of Prince Fangji and the Nanyin princess) and had the kid which is the current emperor. The missing son of Prince Fangji and the Nanyin princess ended up having LXY and his older brother. So the current emperor is the son of the consort and the sorcerer whereas LXY is the grandson of the crown prince and the Nanyin princess making him the legitimate heir to the current empire.

And I thought I was the only one when listening to this. Don't know how a non-romance wuxia music could make you stay in the feels.

Yes, I figure out just as much except forgot the part about Feng Ah Lu looking for the Nanyin's princess' son. So that would mean the royal member that took over Prince Fangji 's throne was infertile. Which then means the current emperor is illegitimate. Finally mystery for this is solved!

I love the last part 'the answer is left to everyone' cause it was her way of letting every viewers have our own say of seeing LLH off. Whether it be him traveling around with his 2 besties or believing he has finally left everything behind. It's our letting go of LLH to wherever he is, is how he would have wanted it.

His translated version even sounds sweet and thoughtful.

And yes Li Lianhua, we shall meet again in the next role. 😌

Yes, we're on the same page. LXY's father and the current emperor would be from the same generation. And LXY and the princess that is betrothed to FDB are from the current generation.

He actually can... as LXY. 😏

He has a YouTube channel. Just search for 'Marcus Here'. There were so many comments there that echo what everyone on this page says, 'best wuxia, didn't skip a minute/episode, sad it ended'. Seems everyone from everywhere feels the same way about this drama. So rare.

I had a similar question as you about LXY lineage, but was too lazy to look into it until you brought it up. So in ep 6 it explained that crown Prince Fangji and the Nanyin Princess was ordered to be executed because the prince wanted his dad to abdicate. This was LXY grandparents. Because of this, another royal member was given the throne. This new emperor or maybe the emperor after him couldn't have kids so one of their consort had an affair with the Nanyin sorcerer. So it's either the current emperor's 'grandfather' or 'father' that couldn't have kids thus making his 'royal' lineage illegitimate.

As for LXY, I think Prince Fangji had a son who most likely grew up in hiding (thus the new surname Li ?) and eventually had him and his older brother. And I think it's a son cause LXY's shifu's wife explained that her husband and LXY's dad was close friends and after the parents died, they promised to find the 2 boys when they went missing. If it was a daughter they would have mentioned her being closed to the shifu instead. That's why if LXY wanted to claim the throne, it would have been indisputable since he was both the current empire's legitimate heir and a royal descendant of the Nanyin kingdom as well. Along with the fact he's the #1 in the martial arts world. 😏

Found it! Ep 6 when one of the grave robbers explained the history. Prince Fangji was the crown prince, got into trouble and was ordered by his father to kill himself. So the throne was given to another royal member, the current emperor's 'grandfather'. So either that emperor couldn't have kids or his 'father' couldn't have kids and the consort cheated with that Nanyin sorcerer. Either way the current emperor shouldn't have been on the throne.

I believe the consort that had the illegitimate kid was married to the emperor that couldn't have kids. So it couldn't be Prince Fangji. I have to admit, this lineage plotline was a little confusing. Couldn't figure out which generation LXY is vs. Prince Fangji and the Nanyin princess vs. the consort with the illegitimate child.

But if I had to guess, I think LXY is the grandson of Prince Fangji and the Nanyin princess. So his father, surname Li, is the child of Prince Fangji.

Some weibo users are saying it should be higher, just like how we want it higher on MDL. 😆

Are you referring to Tencent sitting on LYF's rating? The score is not...bad ??

That one kept on dropping, no? And LYF score is out too.

We must of seen it at the same time, posted the same thing. 😄

I know people don't really trust Douban, but MLC open with an 8.0 rating with 230K+ votes. Quite impressive.

Each time he said it the emotion got more intense. How can you not cry with him seeing this?

And LLH as her side concubine. Some viewers would back this idea. 😏

I was thinking the same about their formatting whenever I have to scroll down pages just to find someone's response to my comment. Like a few seconds ago. 😅

I watched up until ep 18 (?). Can't remember. They stayed true to the book, so far, and it's good. Since I read the book and knew everything, it wasn't as exciting like watching this series where I didn't have a clue where it was going.
