I honestly can't wait till the end of season 2, when folks who haven't read spoilers or the book are watching…
I wanted to indulge in today’s trend of miraculous and unpredictable spoiler-dropping, but I don’t actually want to make changes to the novel ending. So I thought of someone who seems like she *might* want to see some changes. And then the vision came ^^
Lol, you can't say anything here that we all already don't know.
Totally legit prophetic vision #1: The first unpredictable change is that, at the end of the drama, a slightly battered XL goes on holiday to Brazil for some much needed RnR. He meets an illustrator. They get married and run away in XL’s clam shell.
That scene is from chapter 32 after FFB takes XY from her wedding ceremony with Feng Long. It has not been covered…
"You may have a point about her struggle being about Fangfeng Bei and Xiang Liu instead. I never quite saw it that way. For me, it still indicates a longing she has buried deep down, unwilling to acknowledge even to herself. "
To clarify, I don't think her resistance to answering the last question is because of a struggle to pick between FFB and XL. I was suggesting that Tong Hua might have intentionally distinguished between TSJ and YSQ to remind readers that XL also has an alternate identity that XY prefers, and that her heart might feel that she wants to spend her entire life with the version of XL that was free from war and obligations to the remnant army and Gong Gong, even if her mind wouldn't let her even think about it.
^^
And #3 is so wrong but so absurd it’s hilarious.
I’m going to assume Hunter is gleefully trolling us.
Edit: Thank you! ^^
If S2 follows the novel, it will end with XY in love with and married to TSJ.
Honestly I feel like we should have an FAQ page for these common questions.
