Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao’s Story and Romance

 liddi:

I don't know whether it is a new feature - my very first Taobao physical purchase was in Aug this year. When was the last time you tried to set up shipment from Taobao?

All my Taobao purchases are tracked by Cainiao 菜鸟 (which services Taobao and AliExpress), and Brazil is listed among the countries that they deliver to - it's even listed as among the popular countries:

Hopefully it means that you should have no problems buying from them now. 

Oh I checked and yes, now they ship to Brazil. But the price is absurd so T_T

There is an anime version on Youtube for the first 12 episodes, if anyone is curious

Thank you for sharing! It's an iQiYi animation but seems to be available only for China accounts, and and not internationally, or at least not on my iQiYi account.

Not exactly the best production, unlike the animated series for Love between Fairy and Devil, also available on iQiYi, which is far superior. Important details are glossed over or even cut. One of the scenes that irk me is that when Xiao Liu first told Xiang Liu about her three have-nots, it is truncated to exclude "I have no ability to protect myself, no one to rely on", leaving only "I have nowhere to go", which would make Xiang Liu's final well wishes (the ability to protect yourself, someone to rely on, a place to go) incongruous.

"My Lord, perhaps I am not merely Wen Xiao Liu, but I never harboured any ill intentions towards General Hong Jiang. I do not belong to any power. I am merely... I am merely someone who has been discarded. I have nowhere to go, so I chose to become Wen Xiao Liu in Qingshui Town. If my Lord allows it, I hope that I can be Wen Xiao Liu for my entire life."

Not sure if it will be continued - it just ended with Xiao Liu hiding out at Cang Xuan's shop after drawing on Xiang Liu's face, and being found out, so it's early days yet in the scheme of the entire story. 

By the same token, the LYF manhwa's progress is at a snail's pace too, with her realising that Fangfeng Bei and Xiang Liu are one and the same. 

There is a line în the drama (forgot which episode) that says that jing is responsabile for saving people, while XL for killing people. Same goes for XY's medicines (used to save people) versus XY's poisons (used to kill people) . I always believed that her poisons and medicines are a good marker for her feelings. She kept focusing on her poisons / her love for XL kept growing up till chapter 32, which culminated with her cristal ball, while she started to really change her priorities afterwards, focusing on her medicine, as a way of not only healing people, but also herself of her heartbreak over XL. I believed there is also a line în the book where she admits that she wants to save people now and let go of learning how to kill them. The moment she finished her medical books ( as a parallel to The crystal Ball) was the moment she agreed to marry jing, meaning the process of falling into him was completed. I know this topic has been discussed many times before and most of the people don't believe there is a paralel between poisons / medicine and XY's hidden feelings, but I personally  really believe TH  revealead XY's feelings and focus through that. Even when Jing used to send her the plum wine, iirc her room was described as being filled with poisons. Or when she asked him to draw 3 drawings for her. She kept playing along with jing, but her mind was always at XL.
