If you're the type to invest emotionally in the story and characters, you may want to skim around and make sure you get the gist of the story. maybe watch a few episodes, before going deep... (just to give you an idea - my ship is sinking, and I'm devastated 😭) - friendly suggestion 😸

While Tong Hua was writing this novel, she was writing about her dream harem... Poor XL was the creation of this ultimate, ideal lover portrayed - one who sacrifices everything and anything, while asking for nothing in return, to ensure his lover's happiness even when he's no longer here just so she could enjoy a lifetime of happiness... this is the most selfless, perfect love a man in her fantasy world could give without want, without asking for in return - pure, selfess love... 😭

That's not what i read from her interview... She loved CX as family, but loved TSJ and XL romantically.

So he distances himself from her because he knows he may die in war?

well, I haven't read the book so I wouldn't know. I'm just going off of what's shown in the drama, from what other novel readers shared as well as interviews with the cast and writer. The writer did say XY loved two men in the book so I took that as XL and TSJ, but XL had his own duties, and was of the opposing side, so their relationship was doomed and already decided from the start.

I second that.. he deserves his own happiness...

tell me more, what does this mean?

I wouldn't say TSJ is awful... he's just too weak, indecisive for me to like (personal preference).

Yeah, me too... I actually find dramas with heavy emphasis on triangles, harems boring. But XY and XL, Xuan and the story was interesting to keep me going...

IKR, this is how she's coming across in the drama right now. My question: Is this what happened in the novel? IF she didn't like XL, than don't lead him on....

yeah, agreed. her actions and words don't add up for me. i think this is the fault of the director and the production. it makes her wishy-washy, and she doesn't seem like that type of girl.

so in the novel, XL didn't show this much love to XY?

Yeah, totally agree. I don't care if they (XY-XL) can't end up together, but at least have some intimate moments to justify all that XL would do for her later even if he can't be with her. At this rate, TSJ is really winning and it's so hard for me to see how XY would have deeper feelings for XL.

I also find it a bit creepy that he's always sending the fox to spy on her...

why? cuz she's a player and can break his heart 😂

seems to be what's going on... and my poor XL, so righteous, dutiful, fighting a losing war...

In the novel, the XL character is selfless and noble, No? I mean TJC is portraying how the character is suppose to be in the novel as the author intended.

Really? 😭😭😭 my ship

Yes, me too... I like Fenlong cause he's cute, innocent. I also like his relationship with Xuan.

you should write the ending...😂 then we'd be happy and party...
