Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao’s Story and Romance

 windiaaa041293:

Since @liddi has read the article, what do you think about Ah Nian's words?
Does this include an open ending? 

It's been a while since I last read the article, and I don't quite remember the details. What do you mean by an open ending? The leaked script ends with an open ending, where Cang Xuan and A Nian are back in Qingshui town, but they have no idea whether they did or did not meet Xiao Yao or not. Certainly it ties back to the first time they were there, and the difference in A Nian's behaviour when something similar happened. 

Just a heads up that I am going to sleep after this (it's late!)... so I might not be able to respond until much later tomorrow.

everything would be speed up in the drama. XY did not delay her wedding for 42 year either in the drama. 

The three years she took previously, was to complete the unfinished medical texts that the Flame Emperor left behind using the "Hundred Herbs Manual" he wrote. This time, she delayed her wedding again - Jing wanted to get married straight away, but she decided to work with the other physicians to compile the medical texts first. Then the Xuan Yuan-Gao Xin war broke out. I didn't pay attention how long it took this time round - not sure whether it was another 42 years. 

 liddi:

I think the theory of the hibiscus is particularly obscure and not as easily perceived because it is so blatantly associated with Jing in her actions and words, but definitely holds merit with your analysis.

In the past, the scene in chapter 44, when XY saw the hibiscus flowers and called Jing for me was the strongest proof of her feeling for Jing. I had believed that normally people would be true to themselve in such kind of near unconscious mood. Now I don't believe that XY loved Jing at all. 

Therefore, I can't buy the message the drama tries hard to sell. It made XL so miserable like a one-sided love pursuer.

"Now I don't believe that XY loved Jing at all."

Same here.  I always thought that XY loved XL more, while still having some strong feelings for Jing too, mostly because of the scenes from chapter 43, where she sings to the moon, and chapter 44, but now I see both scenes differently. I honestly can't view them the way I used to anymore.

I have a question, is there a meeting scene with the parents? Or is there only a scene in the house?

I missed this moment.

you means XY's parents (Ah Heng and Chi You). According to the leaked script, I think she only saw the illusion of her parents. the drama intended that both of them had died completely in the battle. In the novel her mother was still alive because Chi You exchanged his heart for hers so that she could survise and wait to meet XY again

Is the leaked scripts authentic?

Exactly. I don't know what purpose XL has in saying those leaked lines. In the drama, he seems like someone who has unrequited love so what is the purpose in saying they can't be together so separate. It's not even an option when she doesn't seem to care for him at all in the drama.

If she acted more like she lived him but had to hide it deep down and seemed a bit conflicted around him, then those scene make more sense and actually sweet he also sends her parents off with her.

I hate Jing so happy he doesn't get official mummy approval. Even though it seemed more like mummy asking her daughter 'Are you sure'
