@nathsketch millon thanks for sharing the goods, the first two pics are my favorite ?. 

The first one is from his variety show Campus Go, where he served as dance mentor. Even his dance introduction there is cool. I am now watching Hi Saturday Eps with TJC, that‘s how obsessed I am ??? And I can‘t say it often enough, but it‘s really nice to know you all and knowing that I‘m not alone in my craziness?. My friends are not into fangirling sadly. My best friend jokingly asked if I‘m now hanging out online with a bunch of hormonal teenagers? Well she hit the point on the hormonal at least ?

LOL!  Yes, on the hormonal for Tan Jian Ci, and no where near teen aged, here.  And yes!  Fangirling welcomed and encouraged!

Love those pics and incarnations of Tan Jian Ci.  He is such a chameleon.

"I don’t think she did. In the novel, Tong Hua told us what XY was feeling and thinking at the end of that conversation: “She felt like she called him on his bullshit. When she was wandering the world being a con artist, he was likely home tickling his maids!” That last thought is clearly about FFB, not XL."

I understand what you are saying and putting it this way you are right. Still, what exactly does FFB has to lose to begin with? Testing him for what? He has no status, no money, no family ties, no anything, XL persona aside and I see no reason for her to think that there is anything at stake for him. He could have easily go with the flow. For me her answer sounds bitter, it feels as if she is talking to XL, not FFB. I don't know, I still belive deep down she knew all along who he is, but she didn't want to aknowledge that on a conscious level. 

@AH

I re-read that part from the novel and I still think she always knew that FFB îs XL, but didn't want to aknowledge it. Neither of them wanted to.

"Last night when she knew for sure he was Xiang Liu, she wasn’t surprised or shocked in the least. It felt like it was always this way, and this heavy burden in the corner of her heart was lifted, though another burden had arisen."

That’s the passage where liddi provided a more accurate translation a few pages back in this thread.

Edit: See her translation in purple here: https://mydramalist.com/discussions/lost-you-forever/110123-xl-and-xy-story-and-romance-warning-spoilers?pid=2785463&page=172#p2785463

I am not sure if liddi posted this as a translation or as an interpretation, if it is a translation, than yes, it is  different than koala's, but regardless, that answer în particular I still belive it was towards XL, not FFB. 

I have a question. Actually, it’s a series of related questions. If XL didn’t know he was going to die, would he have gone out of his way to do extraordinary things for XY? Probably not, right? Theoretically, he wouldn’t have had to go there. He could have let life progress in a more normal manner. What if, instead, it were TSJ (or CX), not XL, who knew he was going to die? Would TSJ (or CX) have gone out of his way to do extraordinary things for XY? I think there is a very good chance he would have too.

So, is
     XL minus extraordinary things plus a long life with XY
          greater than
     TSJ (or CX) plus extraordinary things minus a long life with XY?

Is
     XL minus extraordinary things plus a long life with XY
          greater than
     TSJ (or CX) with no extraordinary things and with a long life with XY?

For most people in this tread, the answer to the last question is yes. The answer to the second to last question is harder. But, my answer is that it may not matter as much as it may seem to matter. The depth of love XL has for XY is there, even if he never has to fully draw on it during a long life with her.

Somehow, I thought this thought exercise might help me feel better. But, now I’m not sure, lol. So, I suddenly thought of another thought exercise. I’m brainstorming here on my own and chuckling at myself. (HeadInTheClouds, you aren’t the only one, lol.)

I’ve never been religious, but I have been influenced by religion and believe in reincarnation and Heaven. I believe that most good people reincarnate a lot, before finally making it to Heaven. Those who think and act more like a god go to Heaven sooner rather than later. TSJ is the only one close (example: his approach towards his brother). Although he’s probably not quite there yet either, let’s just say that he goes to Heaven after this lifetime, where he is no longer interested in things like carnal desires.

Let’s say everyone else reincarnates. Let’s say XL is a human, has left almost all of the bad parts of his demon nature behind him, and is able to live a life more like his FFB self with no need to womanize. Let’s say XY and CX are still close blood relations. XL and XY continue to have a soulmates-type connection. They meet at a good time for them to have a long-term “in love” relationship. They repeat this over and over through lifetime after lifetime.

This actually puts me back in my own real-life paradigm. If Tong Hua can create three great love rivals at the same time, which I don’t really believe in, I can still find a happy ending for XL myself. There. I feel a lot better!
