if This title Eternally Yearning for You is for other characters than Qiang Xuan/CX, she did not have to mention about others experiencing it a time during the story but in the end its core mainly for her ML..CX..
Its clearly stated XY doesnt fall in love with CX, ML. She compared to TSJ being main love interest. If TSJ is just being another main character ....she did not particularly have to mention "love interest"., followed it with XY not fall for CX.
For me TH's intention is super crystal clear 1001..++%.. but of course some fans take only what they like.
on the part of CX and the title, for me, there's a reason why cx is ml1 but didn't get the girl and it's an interesting story coz not a typical fl-ml end game. also why Jing's ml2 and mentioned on the romance part, XY's lover, in my simple understanding, is that he gets the girl, they'll fall in love, will cause a rift bn ml1 and fl eventually leading to ml1 losing fl in the end or like the "unbreakable bond" bn fl and ml1 for years will have a crack or will weaken till it's irreparable. that kind of thing. not sure if im making myself clear here though. haha anyway, i think the addition of Jing to the story is impt not only for XY to have someone she's been looking for to spend the rest of her lifetime with or let her exp the love she had before or to make her believe in that kind of love again but also for CX to see how his kind of love is different from Jing's and why there's now that space bn him and XY and why he lost her.
yearning for or lovesickness will def have various interpretations and so the imperfections, like it's not one word one meaning, and she did say either this or that. and coz of my yaojing brain activated, i thought of yaojing situation, the engagement or like arranged marriage for Jing, the break up, like there's always a hindrance or that which will separate them or cause them to be separated from each other. but as she said that those chars she mentioned will exp that at some point.
