Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao’s Story and Romance

În chapter 29 she recalls again the scene from chapter 5

Chapter 29

"Xiao Yao listened intently and suddenly remembered the blood red sunset when Xiang Liu was dressed all in white and walked towards her from a burning funeral pyre of dead Sheng Nong soldiers."

@Blabla100, i find it.LOL

substitute literature ?His head is obviously full of black hair, but it's like the Milky Way pouring down the sky.It’s true stand-in literature. The source of my heartbeat is thinking of Xiang Liu’s hair.

But when he saw Jing standing up, he casually untied the crown that bound his hair. His hair was covered with black hair like a galaxy, falling down on his back and drifting in the sea breeze. He leaned against the railing of the boat, looking lazily and casually at the dawn of dawn in the eastern sky.

For a moment, Xiaotian was so heartbroken that she was pounding. He called her several times, but she didn't hear him, causing everyone to look at her.

Zhuanxu pushed her, "What are you thinking about?"

Do you know the color of the Milky Way galaxy?

The text in Vol 1 Ch14 is as follows:

却看璟一边站起，一边随手解开了束发的发冠，满头青丝如银河泻九天，披落在他背上，飘散在海风中。他侧倚着船栏，几分慵懒、几分随意地看着东边天空初露的晨曦。

小夭一瞬间看得心如鹿撞，怦怦直跳。玱玹叫了她好几声，她都没有听到，惹得所有人都看着她。

玱玹推了她一把，“你在想什么？”

小夭忙道：“啊，你们回来了。” 脸刹那涨得通红，幸亏有面纱遮住，没有人能看到。

璟却似乎明白了，眼中飞溅着喜悦。

However, she saw Jing undo the coronet that held his hair as he stood up, sending a head full of black hair down his back like the Milky Way falling from the sky, flying in the sea breeze. He leaned against the railing of the ship, gazing lazily and casually at the first light of dawn in the eastern sky.

At the sight, Xiao Yao's heart quickened, pounding hard in her chest for a moment. Cang Xuan called her several times but she did not hear him, drawing everyone's attention to her.

Cang Xuan gave her a push. "What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Yao hurriedly replied, "Ah, all of you are back." Her face turned bright red instantly, but fortunately, it was covered by a veil so no one could see it.

Jing however seemed to understand, and his eyes were filled with joy.

Yang dimaksud disini adalah galaksi Bima Sakti. dan warnanya putih.

Yes, our galaxy refers to the Milky Way, which has the colour of "fresh spring snow in the early morning" (cr. Space.com). 

In this instance though it specifically states that his black hair fell down his back like the galaxy / Milky Way falling from the sky to the earth. So Tong Hua's simile is an unusual comparison of black vs Milky Way. Was she thinking specifically of the white of the Milky Way, or just stars against a dark sky (which would match up with the black colour of his hair)? I find it debatable... However, Tong Hua also followed with Jing's reaction to Xiao Yao's behaviour, which seemed to indicate that he knew she was mesmerised by the sight of him.

There are no coincidences. The author wrote it carefully.

I'm adopting this quote to help me sleep better. Best thing I've read in all of our 282 pages lol

"What we can see with the naked eye is really the truth of everything?"

Thank you for the reply! Very thoughtful and inspiring~ Yes as you said that's typically her, always hide from truths she's afraid to see. I always believe in some way she could have saved XL. I know she had tried, but maybe just give a little bit more thoughts? I would try harder just for a friend.

I too wish she could have done more, but to be honest, I think she also knew the world was such that it was pretty much a lost cause unless Xiang Liu agreed to abandon the Chenrong army and swear fealty to Xiyan, which he never would.  I don't believe that later after knowing Xiang Liu was Fangfeng Bei, she never thought back to what she thought was Fangfeng Bei's careless invitation for her to not be a princess but roam the world with him, and remembered his mute response when she countered that she would if he could give up everything. That would have given her a clue, even if she did not already understand Xiang Liu well enough. She would plead for his life on her wedding day, her first and last time begging Cang Xuan for anything, but what Cang Xuan told her about Xiang Liu's responses to his many overtures confirmed what she already knew deep down inside. 

If only... but then Xiang Liu would not be Xiang Liu, and that would have been a different story wouldn't it?

Saya mengadopsi kutipan ini untuk membantu saya tidur lebih nyenyak. Hal terbaik yang pernah saya baca di seluruh 282 halaman kami haha

“Apa yang bisa kita lihat dengan mata telanjang benar-benar kebenaran segalanya?”

xiaoyao's attitude was clearly like someone imagining… a hallucination? delusion? or illusion? LOL

The archery bow that XL secretly "presented" to XY: there is difference between the book and the drama

So, according to the drama, XL already had plan to give WXL a bow after he got her Lovers' bug. Probably he had plan to teach WXL archery. The drama shows his intent to empower her too: if she wanted something, she needed to earn it, not begging others. 

Moreover, It is said that XL bought or own the house next to WXL's house in QS town where he and  XY stayed for 1 month after the marriage robbery. 

So, I am quite curious about his original plan after the they successfully moved the bug from CX. For sure that he would respect WXL's choice. WXL would remain male form for some time or forever. What kind of relationship would it be? Friendship and Neighbour until he died together with Shen nong Army. Would he expect happier ending for himself? Did he already choose to die with Shen nong Army regardless WXL? Or he only make that decision after WXL become Princess?
