Mina:
What is the purpose of the love thread?
The fox says she can’t love someone bc she lost her love thread.
YBC has 2 love threads but doesn’t really love anyone but herself.
YBC uses the threads to make her more appealing to men, so shouldn’t that make the fox less appealing since she doesn’t have any? However, the fox is still very seductive…I’m soo confused by the purpose of the threads.
It's different for YBC compared to Pian Ran. Demons cannot love anyone without a thread, humans can not feel positive things without a thread. Think TTJ (mortal born as an evil fetus = half demon, cant feel positive feelings) and PR (demon can't fall in love with anyone else than Jiang Rao).
Also, it's like giving demonic powers to humans when they possess more than their own love thread. We dunno how that works for demons. All I know is when Di Mian cut his own to send it to Chu Huang, it was so his scale and love thread can protect Chu Huang and their daughter.
