Your interpretation of her also makes sense as why TLC never blamed her but understood her and then proceeded to write a letter to the empress to ask forgiveness on her behalf.

Whispers Of Fate operates in three timelines; T1, T2 and T3.

T1 is the original timeline where Ye Mo killed the seven great masters, possessed TLC, everyone is dead and Ye Mo failed to ascend to Godhood because TLC’s celestial body was deprived of seven emotions.

T2, failed Ye Mo turned the wheel of time in T1 and orchestrated for the future Tang Lici to travel back in time to save Fang Zhou, giving him the opportunity to survive, find the Holy Son and raise him, but Ye Mo was also jealous of this good fortune that he created for TLC, so Ye Mo changed his appearance and played the role of a disciple to TLC, which created a different Ye Mo who could also feel emotions.

T3 is the one with complete reset in the end.

It's a pity that so many details are missing compared to the script making it seems like disjointed. I was continuously cursing at the creators for what happened to the plot at Biluo Palace. The entire Bilao palace arc felt like they were deliberately forcing it to sell the CP, which is really annoying. And for once, I thought SLY has lost it but it got back on the track afterwards. A Shui is just insignificant in this drama and to make her significant you need to re-write this character and make the drama centers around her which is not possible in SLY. Nothing would change if you cut her out, Gui Mudan would just cultivate someone else into a tool and make him/her as a walking blood bank around Tang Lici, that’s all.

If her screentime could have been given to Ye Mo and Bai Nanzhu, SLY could have been a real game changer in terms of plot. The characters in Celestial Realm are all so terrific and needed to be explored. The Celestial realm is the most important arc and the actual plot and they chose to ruin that one only by focusing on irrelevant things. SLY could have shown the complete dualism between Ajibaner Tangjia and Ye Mo, they both chose different paths for the same goal and are like a blood ties that can never be severed.

There is a little poem about Tang Lici, "the world has touched my soul with its pain, asking for return in songs"

Fang Zhou is indeed very significant to him but Tang Lici has always been himself and by himself.

This one the most, after having endured it silently for four years, A Li had finally shouted it out loud and clear😭😭😭

In the end, Liu Yan is just a simple person who genuinely loves Tang Lici🤧🤧

Tang Lici has a sense of objectivity towards the name "Tang Lici". He regards this name "Tang Lici" as an "identity" rather than just a name given to him by Fang Zhou— an identity that ties him to Zhou Dilou and represents his life in Shenzhou.

For example, he repeatedly emphasizes: "Tang Lici rarely makes mistakes", "Tang Lici will never lose", "Just because I am Tang Lici".

They are now busy focusing on variety shows/tours, I don’t think we will get anything, first 18 episodes are draggy and suffered from pacing issues, If executed well, we could easily have all the scenes in it.

Loved your insights. They are certainly helpful and holds volume. Please make it to the discussion above so everyone can know. I am also very much grateful that SLY found you.

They should definitely release something to make the viewers things understand better, they could also release some animated clips explaining the worldview/timeline logics since they have made some brutal cuts right from the most important arc in the drama. I am writing about what question SLY seeks, worldview/timeline logics and a character analysis of Tang Lici/thinking process of Ye Mo but it’s taking forever.

Bao Shangen really surprised me, definitely want to see her again with LYX.

I’m literally Tang Lici × Ye Mo team😏 if only that one sentence could make it to the final cut but whatever it’s still so obvious.

Before Liu Yan took his last breath, he said to Tang Lici, “A Li, look, the moon is so beautiful.” As everyone knows, it’s a well-known poetic way of saying “I love you”.

Fang Yilun has been using the word "love" constantly off-screen, a love-hate relationship, “Tang Lici is the one Liu Yan loves and hates the the most”. It turned out it’s true. After expressing his endless hatred towards Tang Lici throughout the drama, Liu Yan has finally expressed his love to him.

The moon is so beautiful, just like Zhou Dilou. (I love you, just as I loved you back then).

Scenes total worth of two episodes were removed from the Tianren realm, I need a Tianren realm spin off, I need a complete story of both Ajibaner Tangjia and Ye Mo.

Hehe Alright!

You know what, I’ve always thought of that white cat as Chu wanning, and considering Jeremy Tsui was a fan-choice for TXJ, everytime he appeared with the cat, I just thought of it as SLY version of Husky and his white cat Shizun😂

My understanding is that Xue Xianzi doesn’t remember Tang Lici and he just instinctively called it "Xiao Huli". They have infused the concept of Fox dragon in the final scene; The Fox dragon comes from Records of the Taiping Era (太平广记:奇事记), a collection of mostly supernatural short stories. The white fox often came down Mt. Li and caused havoc in ordinary people’s lives. One day while washing in the lake, it transformed into a dragon and flew towards Heaven, protecting the world silently.

That’s so kind of you <3, I think it just left to the imagination of viewers how A Shui got the fake pill to give it to Gui Mudan.

Remember I once told you, another villain will appear around Ep20, yeah I meant him only😂

Zhong Chunji remained till the end and didn’t die, Tang Lici didn’t blame her for anything but understood her and redeemed her.

The white haired guy meant to be the big villain just like Ye Mo, but they deleted his entire arc from the drama, what could I say? :(( Have fun watching! Also don’t forget to pay some attention to Xiao Shi!
