I hv another question as well, the first time HPS was taken back by TY, YH didnt die right aways cz she had TY’s neidan right? Then the second time, when the flower was crushed by TY, then YH supposed to not die within 3days (if I’m not mistaken i forgot how long she can survive back than) right?
But yesterday eps, YH dies right away, then bcs of the life-swapping spell, TY dies instead. Why this spell didn’t happen in the first time? Is this just some loop hole?
The first time it didn't happen because TY already said it that after removing the HPS from YH in episode 16, she have 3 days before her life was in danger.
YH will not die no matter what because when TY gave her his Nine Stars, he already ensure she will not die due to the life exchange method, if the three days is up and YH life is in danger, TY will be on the receiving end and die in her place instead.
If you notice that back then after TY defeated SY he was was trying to find YH again because he want to save her, and at that time he had plans to return the HPS back to her but YH was okay after the 3 days time frame due to the Dark Flower placed onto her as a condition to control her in the 3 months time frame before she completely lose control. So that was why it didn't activate back then.
TY also said that he doesn't have any problems giving the HPS back to YH, but because YH was being controlled by the Lord of Dark, at the time he need to ensure that she is freed of the darkness first because if not then that would be like handing his HPS to the Dark Lord which is not ideal. This is something BXS knows about too because TY told him that when they were trapped inside the compass.
As for episode 27, and how it played out in that scene, how I understood was TY saved YH through his Nine Stars, but the thing is, if anything happens to YH, TY will be the one on the receiving end (through the life exchange method), so TY will die in her place instead, when the black flower was destroyed it meant that she is now freed from the Dark Lords control but as the Dark Lord said that if the flower is destroyed, YH will die instead. Which was something the Dark Lord did on his end when he went into YH mind eye.
YH wouldn't die because what TY did by using this life exchange method was one life exchange with another so yes, TY was willing to sacrifice himself to save YH just like how YH, who values her life is willing to sacrifice herself to protect TY. I think what the writers wants to highlight here is that both TY and YH are willing to sacrifice their own life to ensure the other one lives. To show their love and sacrifice for each other is equal.
The reason why TY chose to not give HPS to YH despite he knew that it would save him from dying in YH place is because YH had said it to him several times already, she wanted to live a free life away from all the danger... She also made it clear that she just want to live her life in peace. TY as selfless as he was, he didn't mind dying in her place through this life exchange method because he just wants her to be able to live her life in peace and away from the danger. If the HPS is back into her then she will be the target to those people who wants to get their hands on it.
This is why we have BXS came in the picture to change the outcome of it and save TY because he put the HPS back into YH so her "life" was spared after the dark flower was destroyed so thus this saves TY from going through the life exchange method and die in YH place instead. Hope this makes sense now.
