Well, I missed out entirely on the moon viewing and the eclipse. We were completely covered over with clouds. :( But hopefully everyone had a lovely Mid-Autumn Festival.Kokuto:
I went outside to see the lunar eclipse at its peak last night. It was very cool, like someone took a bite out of the top of a cookie.solarlunareclipse:
I’m glad someone enjoyed it. I could barely see anything through the clouds too. Well, Kokuto, we can catch it again in 2033. :-)
For example, only through CX's description do we know that XY felt a shivering feeling of bliss when XL was drinking her blood in the medicine pool. Xiao Yao's narration of this event was focused being relieved that at least she was of some use to XL so that he didn't kill her.
We also understood the blood drinking was pleasurable, when XY described FFB drinking from her wrist.
In the novel, when CX reminds Xiao Liu to restrain his urges, Xiao Liu is seemingly confused but later “smiled quietly” or in Koala’s version, “started to smile.” This implies she does know what CX means. The phrase, “Can I really go to you for a drink?” follows immediately afterwards, and the reader may miss the meaning.
(google)
Xuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Take care of your body. If you are injured, restrain your desires!"
“..." Xiao Liu was confused. When had he ever felt sexual desire?
Xuan touched his neck and left with a smile. Xiao Liu still blinked in confusion. After a while, he pursed his lips and smiled quietly. Can I really go to you for a drink? There was a voice in his heart that objected, but another voice said that he would leave soon, and if he didn't drink now, he would have no chance in the future.
I just read an interpretation of the drama's version of the crystal ball that I quite liked. According to this interpretation, there is no continuity error with XL placing a third merman in the ball and having it disappear before he inscribed it and sealed it in the big-bellied doll. The third merman was XL's imagination. The ball showed the two merpeople running towards and reaching out to each other. However, XL imagined replacing himself with Jing as a substitute (original merman) and retreating from the relationship with XY (imagined merman lurking beside the shell). This is why the next scene is of him saving Jing.
Yeah, I'm going to disagree with that. Jing is not a merfolk nor does he have any affiliation with the sea. And I don't think XL thought of Jing as a substitute for himself. Jing has nothing to do with XL. Jing was the person XY had convinced herself would be a lifelong companion.
Agree that Jing is not a merman, but XL replacing himself with Jing and retreating from the relationship with XY was his intention. This is consistent with XL's other displayed behavior of pushing XY towards Jing and distancing himself from her.
Xiang Liu truly treasures the ice crystal globe that Xao Yao prepared for him. He recognizes the great lengths XY had taken in creating it for him. With the mermaid’s one hand on her heart and the other reaching out to him as the merman, this is the single confession XL has ever received from XY of her true feelings for him. Which is why I can’t see XL ever relinquishing the merman to Jing, not even in his imagination. Nope.
Later, when Xiang Liu looks into the crystal ball and sees the third imagined/disappearing merman, there are no glowing lights or other special effects.
The novel and the script indicated the change in the crystal ball as a fait accompli, which would explain the lack of special effects. "This was the crystal globe Xiao Yao gave him, except now it had been altered by him, and was different from before ..."
I’m glad someone enjoyed it. I could barely see anything through the clouds too. Well, Kokuto, we can catch it again in 2033. :-)Snowcup:
I guess I lucked out! Make sure to post on this forum in 2033 to remind us of the next celestial trifecta: super harvest moon lunar eclipse. ;)
Despite having XY serve as the (unreliable) narrator, TH doesn't write about XY's thoughts and emotions in a straightforward manner. A lot of what XY believes and knows is left in the hidden lines. For example, only through CX's description do we know that XY felt a shivering feeling of bliss when XL was drinking her blood in the medicine pool. Xiao Yao's narration of this event was focused being relieved that at least she was of some use to XL so that he didn't kill her.

I agree. She was aware of what it means, that's reinforced by the fact that later on she refused to let him drink blood from her neck. Same goes for their kisses underwater.blabla100:
The first time FFB teaches XY archery in S1 Ep 22, guiding her in position, and she finally hits the target, she’s actually thinking about XL biting her neck.
I agree that TH gives ample hints that XY is deeply attracted to XL and that she is self-aware enough to understand and acknowledge this attraction. My original point was that TH doesn't write about XY's thoughts and emotions in a straightforward manner.
If we talk about the neck biting scene itself (not how it was recalled later), TH omits XY describing how pleasurable it is in the moment even though XY undoubtedly feels it. I don’t believe this omission means XY is denying her feelings, but simply that TH chooses to omit describing this aspect of XY’s feelings through XY’s perspective and switches to CX’s perspective to subtly hint at XY’s feelings while casting some doubt on and downplaying what XY actually feels. This is a classic example of TH misdirection.
TH strategically omitting information is why I see XY as a mystery. In contrast, TH basically lays bare XL’s true intentions in the epilogue. His devotion to XY and the things he does to set her up to live well are not questioned because we understand his true intent. However, readers never get a complete picture of XY’s intent, causing many to make potentially inaccurate assumptions. For example, many people believe XY to be selfish in taking unnecessary risks that put herself in danger without thinking through the consequences that her actions have on XL, whose life is linked to hers. I’m not convinced that this assumption about XY is accurate and believe that TH has intentionally omitted describing XY’s true intent behind her seemingly careless and selfish actions.

Which is why I can’t see XL ever relinquishing the merman to Jing, not even in his imagination.
I'm interested in hearing more about your interpretation of the crystal ball from XL's perspective. Does XL see the 1st merman as representing himself and the 2nd merman to also represent himself ? What do you think was XL's purpose in adding the second merman? Why do you think the scene in the crystal ball was changed from the novel and the leaked script?
The novel and the script indicated the change in the crystal ball as a fait accompli, which would explain the lack of special effects. "This was the crystal globe Xiao Yao gave him, except now it had been altered by him, and was different from before ..."
There's a possibility that the crystal ball was actually altered by XL in the drama, just like it was in the novel and leaked script, and the later disappearance of the second merman was a continuity error. In my opinion, there's an equally likely possibility that there is no continuity error in the drama and the second merman was originally imagined by XL. Everything else about the crystal ball in the drama was changed from the novel and the leaked script, so it's plausible to me the fact that XL actually altered the crystal ball was also changed.

It’s just a fun topic. It’s almost like we’re teasing Xiao Yao. It’s funny how she takes on this prim persona when she becomes a girl again. As Wen Xiao Liu, she had such a bawdy sense of humor, constantly teasing poor Ma Zi and Chuan Zi. She can dish it, but can she take it?

I think I’ve already shared my thoughts here, here, here and here. I’m too lazy to rehash it again.

That's a valid point, but the continuity issue isn’t a factor for me. It doesn’t affect my interpretation of the original merman, and the visual imagery of the added merman is still meaningful. :-)

Thanks for linking your original posts. I read through them again, but I still don't understand why XL would add a second merman to the globe that represents himself when there was already a merman in the globe that he also saw as representing himself. If you have any ideas on why he would have done this, it'd be interesting to hear.
That's a valid point, but the continuity issue isn’t a factor for me. It doesn’t affect my interpretation of the original merman, and the visual imagery of the added merman is still meaningful. :-)
From a subjective perspective, of course, works are meant to be interpreted however we want. If an unintentional continuity error is the explanation that best aligns with your preferred interpretation of the crystal ball, agree that there is no reason to revise your interpretation.
About the merman thing, I personally am not sure what to believe, but what I am almost certain of is that the merman from the corner is supposed to be XL. @AH came with a theory that, as much as I dislike it, makes most sense to me. Sadly I don't have time to look for her post atm. The way I view it is that XY did strech her hand for XL to take it, but in return he chose to help Jing and make it possible for him to take this spot. In a way similar to the novel, XL slowly retreated from her life and became the man behind the shadows.
Do you mean this post by AH? The interpretation that XY wanted the first merman to be XL, but he decided to substitute himself with Jing and retreat (represented by the second merman) is the interpretation that makes the most sense to me based on XL's character and displayed actions.
However, TH (and we, the audience) know that XL's logic is flawed because Jing isn't a merman. So, when we see the crystal ball, we know Xiang Liu is still the first merman. Through this lens, the second merman (which I don't think exists outside of XL's imagination) would also have to be Xiang Liu.
TH uses contrasting/mistaken perspectives quite a bit throughout the novel:
- CX vs XL's perspective on the Koi Fish Frolicking in Lotus Pond poison dish
- XY vs XL vs the audience's perspective on the crystal ball
- Xin Yue thought Jing was XY's fire and FL was XY's water, but from XY's perspective, XL was her fire and Jing was her water
- XY thought of herself as Tian'er and XL as Chuan Zi, the man who gave her a few drops of honey and made her fear he would leave her one day, but the way things played out, Chuan Zi was actually Jing.
- Chuan Zi gave Tian'er a few drops of honey, while XY taught her how to provide for herself.
- Jing gave XY a few drops of honey, while XL taught her how to protect herself.
Other than the epilogue, we never get XL's pov in the drama, and that changes the perception of XL's characterization, and reconciles alot of points that others have brought up, for me.
I meant that we never get XL's pov in the NOVEL, except in the epilogue. But we often get XL's pov in the drama and I think it is mostly those scenes where folks complain about XL being OOC. Upon hearing Tong Hua remind folks that novel readers' perception of XL is actually Xiao Yao's perception of XL -- and that obviously isn't a correct or honest view of XL. So, the drama may actually present the 'real' Xiang Liu.
IDK. I think alot of novel readers loved Xiang Liu, even before the epilogue. But the epilogue really clinched it and explained alot.... that we didn't get, because the novel was from XY's pov.
I would disagree that we only see XY's POV, and never see XL's POV, until XL's epilogue in the novel.
There are several little moments, scenes, and even large sections of chapters throughout the novel before the epilogue where the reader sees XL in moments where XY is not present or XY is fully unconscious and not aware of what is happening. We also see things that XY is made to forget and sometimes get insights into XL's thoughts and feelings that XY is not privy to, and we are made aware of actions that XL takes (e.g., intentionally letting TSJ eavesdrop) without XY knowing.
Your comment got me thinking about it and I went back to collect some of these scenes so I could re-read them and have them in one place for future reference.

After the bug transfer and time spent together in the ocean in chapter 7:

| 小六知道他们在被高辛神兵们追击，却感受不到危险，因为相柳从容镇静，让他觉得这不是逃跑，而是相柳带他在海底游览。 他们在海底游了很久，小六怀疑至少有十个时辰，但小六玩的开心，也不觉得时间漫长。直到完全逃出五神山的警戒范围，相柳才带着小六浮出了水面。 白羽金冠雕毛球飞来，相柳抓着小六跃上雕背，驾驭白雕返回清水镇。 小六觉得又困又饿，紧紧地抱住毛球的脖子，对相柳说：“我先睡一会儿。” 小六呼呼大睡。 相柳坐在白雕背上，凝望着云海翻滚，面沉如水，无忧无喜。 很久后，他看向好梦正酣的小六，手慢慢地贴在了自己心口，唇角微微地浮起一丝笑意，转瞬即逝。 | Xiao Liu knew they were being pursued by the soldiers of Gao Xin, but he didn’t feel any danger. Xiang Liu’s calm composure made him feel like they weren’t escaping but rather leisurely touring the underwater world with him. They swam through the sea for a long time—Xiao Liu suspected it had been at least ten hours. But Xiao Liu was having fun, so the time didn’t feel long. It wasn't until they were completely beyond the security perimeter of the Five Gods Mountain that Xiang Liu finally surfaced with Xiao Liu. The white-feathered, gold-crested eagle, Maoqiu, flew over. Xiang Liu grabbed Xiao Liu and leapt onto its back, guiding the white eagle as they headed back to Qingshui Town. Xiao Liu, feeling both tired and hungry, hugged Maoqiu's neck tightly and said to Xiang Liu, "I'm going to sleep for a bit." Xiao Liu fell into a deep sleep. Sitting on the back of the white eagle, Xiang Liu gazed at the rolling sea of clouds, his expression as still as water, without joy or worry. After a long while, he looked at Xiao Liu, who was deep in a peaceful dream. His hand slowly pressed against his own heart, and for a brief moment, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips before vanishing again. | Xiao Liu knew they were being chased by Gao Xing soldiers but never felt in danger. Because Xiang Liu was so calm that it didn’t feel like they were on the run, it felt rather like Xiang Liu was taking him on a stroll through the ocean. They swam for so long underwater but Xiao Liu was really happy and the time didn’t feel long. It wasn’t until they were completely free of the chasing Gao Xing soldiers that Xiang Liu took Xiao Liu up to the surface. The gold crowned white condor Furball flew over and Xiang Liu carried Xiao Liu and vaulted on its back. They rode the condor back to Qing Shui Town and Xiao Liu felt hungry and tired. He tightly grabbed onto Furball’s neck and said to Xiang Liu, “I’m going to take a nap.” Xiao Liu promptly fell fast asleep. Xiang Liu sat on the back of the condor and looked out over the vast cloud sea, his face as calm as a placid water surface without any joy or sorrow. After a long time, he looked down at Xiao Liu in blissful slumber and his hand slowly pressed on his own heart. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips before it swiftly passed. |

XL meets with Ah Nian in the middle of the ocean in chapter 13 and XY is not present.
XY figures out that XL and Ah Nian conspired together, but never knew how XL behaved or that Ah Nian agreed to help XL in the future (which she does, in chapter 48).

| 阿念策着玄鸟坐骑，离开了承恩宫，她不知道自己想做什么，她只是想暂时地逃离，不想听到所以的欢声笑语都只是为了小夭。 玄鸟漫无目的地飞着，阿念累了，玄鸟停在了大海中不知名的小礁石岛上。礁石岛小得比一艘船大不了多少，阿念抱膝坐着，看着浪潮从四面八方涌来，碎裂在她身旁，像怪兽一般发出轰鸣声，往常她早就害怕了，可今夜她不觉得害怕，甚至觉得最好真有一只怪兽出来，反正父王和哥哥有了小夭，他们都不再关心她。她觉得最好她被怪兽咬成重伤，奄奄一息时，父王和哥哥才找到她。他们痛苦自责内疚，可是已经晚了！阿念从幻想父王和哥哥在发现要失去她的痛苦中得到了些许报复的快感。 又一波浪潮涌来，一个白衣白发、戴着银色面具的男子坐在浪潮上，微笑地看着阿念，柔声说：“很痛苦吗？你的父亲和哥哥都抛弃了你。” 阿念认出了他，是那个和小六一起绑架过她的九命相柳。也许因为上次所以的坏事都是小六做的，相柳给阿念的印象并不坏，阿念很紧张，却并不害怕。 阿念问：“你怎么在这里？” 相柳笑，“你说呢？整个大荒都在谈论高辛大王姬，我自然也有点好奇，所以来凑个热闹。” 又是小夭，又是小夭！阿念重重哼了一声。 相柳微笑着说：“如果没有她，你仍是高辛独一无二的王姬，是父王唯一的女儿，是哥哥唯一的妹妹，可是她莫名其妙地跑饿了出来，夺走了你的一切，难道你不想报复她吗？” 阿念紧咬着唇，不吭声。她知道她不该和相柳做交易，哥哥曾恼怒地骂过他是魔头，可是……这天下没有做不成的交易，只有还不够分量的诱惑。 阿念挣扎着说：“我是恨她，可我没想让她死，我只是想一切都恢复到以前。” 相柳柔声说：“我承认我有可能想杀轩辕的王子，但绝不会杀高辛的王姬，我们神农义军绝不想得罪俊帝。” 阿念知道，所以她并不怕他。 相柳凝视着阿念的眼睛，温柔地提议：“你觉得好好折磨她一番，却不取她的性命，怎么样？” 阿念慢慢地点了下头。 相柳笑，“你真是个善良的女孩子，你的父王和哥哥应该更偏爱你才对。” 阿念觉得这么长时间以来，终于听到了一句顺心的话，她问：“怎么才能给她一个狠狠的教训？” 相柳说：“只要你能把她引出来，不要被人察觉，剩下的事情交给我。” 阿念问：“你为什么要帮我？你想要我帮你做什么？” 相柳微笑着说：“你是高辛王姬，什么都不缺，难得有一件我能为你效劳的事，我当然很乐意。你也知道我们神农义军的处境，如果日后有可能，希望王姬能帮我一次。” 阿念笑问：“你都不要我发誓，你不怕我反悔吗？” 相柳笑看着她，温柔又郑重地说：“我相信你。” 阿念甜甜地笑起来，“好！你帮我狠狠教训她一番，我日后帮你一次。” 相柳把一枚贝壳递给阿念，“把她引到海上，捏碎这个，我就会赶到。” 阿念收好了贝壳，策玄鸟返回。 | A'Nian rode her Xuanniao mount, leaving the Palace of Favor. She didn’t know what she wanted to do, only that she wanted to escape, if just for a while. She couldn't stand hearing all the joy and laughter that was solely because of Xiao Yao. The Xuanniao flew aimlessly. Exhausted, A'Nian had the bird land on a small, unnamed rocky island in the middle of the sea. The island was scarcely larger than a ship. A'Nian sat there hugging her knees, watching the waves crash around her, roaring like beasts as they shattered near her. Normally, she would have been terrified, but tonight, she wasn't scared at all. In fact, she almost hoped a real monster would emerge. After all, her father and brother had Xiao Yao now—they no longer cared about her. She thought it would be best if a monster severely injured her, leaving her on the brink of death. Only then would her father and brother find her. They would be wracked with guilt and regret, but by then, it would be too late! A'Nian found a small sense of satisfaction imagining their pain at losing her. Another wave surged, and a man with white hair, dressed in white and wearing a silver mask, appeared sitting atop the waves. He smiled at A'Nian and gently asked, "Are you in pain? Your father and brother have abandoned you." A'Nian recognized him—he was the Nine Lives Xiang Liu, the same man who had kidnapped her with Xiao Liu. Perhaps because Xiao Liu had been the one doing all the bad things last time, A'Nian didn’t have a terrible impression of Xiang Liu. She was tense, but not afraid. A'Nian asked, "What are you doing here?" Xiang Liu smiled, "What do you think? The whole wilderness is talking about the Princess of Gao Xin. Naturally, I was curious, so I came to see the commotion." Again, it was about Xiao Yao! Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao! A'Nian let out a frustrated humph. Xiang Liu smiled, "If it weren’t for her, you would still be the only princess of Gao Xin, the only daughter of your father, the only sister of your brother. But she appeared out of nowhere and stole everything from you. Don’t you want to get revenge?" A'Nian bit her lip in silence. She knew she shouldn't make a deal with Xiang Liu. Her brother had angrily called him a demon. But... in this world, no deal is impossible, only temptations that aren’t enticing enough. A'Nian struggled, "I do hate her, but I don't want her dead. I just want things to go back to the way they were." Xiang Liu's voice softened, "I admit, I might want to kill the prince of Xuan Yuan, but I would never kill a princess of Gao Xin. The Shennong rebel army has no desire to provoke Emperor Jun." A'Nian knew this, so she wasn't afraid of him. Xiang Liu gazed into A'Nian’s eyes and gently suggested, "What do you think about giving her a good, harsh punishment, without taking her life?" A'Nian slowly nodded. Xiang Liu smiled, "You really are a kind girl. Your father and brother should favor you more." A'Nian, hearing these words that comforted her for the first time in a long while, asked, "How can I teach her a harsh lesson?" Xiang Liu said, "As long as you can lure her out without anyone noticing, leave the rest to me." A'Nian asked, "Why are you helping me? What do you want me to do for you?" Xiang Liu smiled, "You are a princess of Gao Xin; you lack for nothing. It’s rare that I have the chance to do something for you, so of course, I’m happy to oblige. You know the position we Shennong rebels are in. If the opportunity arises in the future, I hope the princess can help me in return." A'Nian smiled and asked, "You don't even want me to swear an oath. Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word?" Xiang Liu looked at her with a gentle yet solemn expression and said, "I trust you." A'Nian smiled sweetly, "Alright! You help me give her a good lesson, and I’ll help you in the future." Xiang Liu handed A'Nian a seashell, "Lure her to the sea and crush this. I’ll come immediately." A'Nian took the shell, mounted her Xuanniao, and flew back. | Ah Nian rode her swallow winged ride and left the Palace. She didn’t know what she wanted to do, she just wanted to escape for now and not hear the celebration that was for Xiao Yao. The swallow flew aimlessly and Ah Nian was tired so she had it stop in a little island in the middle of the ocean. It was the size of a ship and Ah Nian sat down on a jutting rock and watched the ocean churning around her. The noise it made was like a beast bellowing, and normally she would be afraid, but tonight she wasn’t afraid. She even felt it would be best if a beast came and hurt her. Her dad and older brother had Xiao Yao now and they no longer cared about her. When she was injured and near dying and they found her, they would come to regret it but would be too late! Ah Nian thought about how sad her dad and older brother would be if they lost her, and she felt some comfort in that. Another wave crested towards her and riding on the wave was a man in white with white hair, wearing a silver mask. He was smiling at Ah Nian and gently said, “It hurt a lot? Your father and older brother have abandoned you?” Ah Nian recognized him – he was Nine-lives Xiang Liu who kidnapped her once with Xiao Liu. Perhaps it was because Xiao Liu was the one who did all the mean things to her that time, so Ah Nian’s impression of Xiang Liu wasn’t bad. She was nervous now but not afraid of him. Ah Nian asked, “What are you doing here?” Xiang Liu laughed. “What do you think? The entire vast wilderness is discussing the Gao Xing Eldest Princess. Naturally I got curious so came to check out the festivities.” Xiao Yao again! It was still Xiao Yao! Ah Nian loudly harrumphed. Xiang Liu smiled. “If she wasn’t around, you are still Gao Xing’s one and only Princess, your dad’s only daughter, your older brother’s only sister. But she randomly showed up and took everything from you. Don’t you want to seek revenge on her?” Ah Nian bit her lips and said nothing. She knew not to make any deals with Xiang Liu, her Gege called him a demon devil, but……there was no such thing as a deal that couldn’t be made in this world, it was only that there was not enough enticement. Ah Nian struggled. “I hate her, but I don’t want her dead. I just want things to go back to the way it used to be.” Xiang Liu gently said, “I confess I might kill Xuan Yuan’s Prince, but I will never kill Gao Xing’s Princess. We Sheng Nong resistance army would never want to get on the Grand Emperor’s bad side.” Ah Nian knew that which is why she wasn’t scared of him. Xiang Liu looked at Ah Nian and gently suggested, “You want to torment her a bit but not kill her, is that right?” Ah Nian slowly nodded her head. Xiang Liu laughed. “You are a kind girl, your dad and older brother ought to love you more.” Ah Nian felt like this was the first true words she heard in a long time so asked, “How to give her a good bout of thrashing?” Xiang Liu said, “All you need to do is lure her out and not be detected. I’ll handle the rest.” Ah Nian asked, “Why are you helping me? What do you want me to do for you?” Xiang Liu smiled. “You are the Gao Xing Princess and want for nothing. It’s rare that I can do something for you and I’m happy to. You know the position of the Sheng Nong resistance army. If in the future the situation arises, I would ask that Princess to help me once in return.” Ah Nian smiled. “You don’t even want me to promise, aren’t you afraid I will renege?” Xiang Liu solemnly and gently said, “I trust you.” Ah Nian smiled sweetly. “Fine! If you teach her a lesson, I will do one thing for you in the future.” Xiang Liu handed a clam shell to Ah Nian. “Lure her to the ocean and then smash this. I will be there.” Ah Nian put the shell away and rode her swallow back. |
