I asked deepseek and it answer that this OST sang by JJY "Dewdrops dissipate before Dawn" has this meaning:…
The narrator speaks to or about a "beloved" (xīn shàng rén) — someone they have loved through multiple lifetimes. The central question is whether they can finally reach "tomorrow" together, or if they will always be separated by time, death, or misunderstanding.
Line-by-Line Implication (Key Sections) Opening Stanza Who is it that cries out, bitterly chasing the past? / Asking whether pity (or heart's connection) can give them a tomorrow.
Implication: Someone (the narrator or the beloved) is trapped in grief over a past life or past mistake. They beg for a second chance — a shared future.
The Dewdrop Metaphor (Chorus) Tears, happiness — all fill the moonlight that holds that face. / Please don't let the dewdrop vanish before dawn.
Watch the daylight slowly take away the moon. / Watch the dewdrop sway in a dream.
Implication: The "dewdrop" represents the beloved's life, their love, or a fleeting moment of happiness. Sunrise (reality, time, death) will destroy it. The narrator begs the universe to pause — to let this fragile love survive just a little longer.
Middle Section (Childlike Plea) Little swing, swinging back and forth — can it take her far away? / Past life asks, this life asks — years sink and float. Which lifetime belongs to us?
Implication: The narrator is desperate to escape the cycle of reincarnation that keeps tearing them apart. They don't know which lifetime is "real" or "theirs." The swing symbolizes childhood innocence and the wish to simply run away together.
The Snow & Red Clothes Image Snow is deep — us, in red clothes with white hair / Watching the distant mountains, sinking into rippling light.
Moonlit person / Always makes the heart leap recklessly. / Snowflakes are my kiss.
Implication: "Red clothes, white hair" suggests either old age (white hair) or a supernatural being (immortal, ghost, or snow spirit). Snow represents coldness, death, but also purity. The narrator's love is so intense that even snowflakes become kisses — but snow is cold and melts.
The Tragic Acceptance A foolish person fears not pity, but true feeling. / Let love and hate carve into bone, sing into the body.
One city, written with wounds crushed by time. / Every ring of the year's circle belongs to us.
Implication: The narrator would rather suffer agonizing love than be pitied. They accept that their love story is one of wounds and lost time — but even the scars are "theirs." It's a defiant, painful pride.
The Wish to Return to Youth Wind takes her far away / Takes her back to the past / Back to when we were both young / Back to her side, just to see her once.
Implication: The ultimate desire is not a future — but to rewind time to before the tragedy. To be young, innocent, together. This is impossible, so the song remains a lament.
Ending: The Small Corner & Ten Thousand Flowers You said you'd find a small corner / Give me ten thousand flowers / Softly tell me you'll stay with me forever.
Small world, small eaves / You stay by my side / Flowers bloom everywhere / How sweet our smiles.
Implication: This is the fantasy ending — the one that doesn't exist. The narrator imagines a simple, peaceful life together: a small home, flowers, eternal companionship. The tragedy is that this is only in memory or imagination.
I asked deepseek and it answer that this OST sang by JJY "Dewdrops dissipate before Dawn" has this meaning: This song implies a story of: Two people who love each other across lifetimes, but fate (death, time, reincarnation) keeps tearing them apart. The narrator knows the "dewdrop" (their love, their beloved, their chance at happiness) will vanish at dawn (when reality returns). They beg for just one more moment — one small corner, ten thousand flowers — but in the end, they are left with only snow, moonlight, and a swing that swings alone.
It is a tragic romance with no happy ending — only beautiful, painful longing.
Yes for me.. she really improved... Just don't judge on the early episodes😅 she gets better after episode 6…
wdym by that? In the early eps thats how she is supposed to portray LWY acc to her character design. Later she(LWY) opens up enough to drop her act Infront of others.

lol no JJY starts off great and the acting from the beginning till this ep is truly splendid. But if you complain her acting to be bad from her pretentious voice then I have to argue that thats how her character is designed very 3dimensional. She is supposed to sound pretentious in the early eps so she sounds perfectly pretentious. Thats her character design.
Boring had to drop and watch pursuit of Jade 4th time . I’m especially disappointed because Joseph Zeng is one…
If you said it's not your type, it would have been fine. Why are you saying false things! lacks depth? JZ's character doesn't truly shine? a lacking role? weak to mid story? Stop with your wrong blabberings. This is one of the best roles I have ever seen among countless dramas I've watched. JZ has shown so much talent for acting and shines through WSG's portrayal. Just that the other 4 actors' roles are no less well written. Each character has such depth, a well-written background, and presence. The storyline of this drama is something that newbies at such dramas can't really grasp well because this drama is made that way, made complicated to grasp cuz its layered and is written in a different setting(PaintedSkin). Ig you are just mad at JZ not getting more screen time than JJY and TJR. Anyways they have equal screen time. This is one of the most well-written and portrayed dramas. This drama may not be one's type, but it's not lacking. Either it's too complicated for you to grasp, or you are just too hooked up on JZ not being the only ML.
the white light is the dragons deity’s power i guess it’s leaving the ring and entering wu shi guang since…
not the ring. The white(dragon deity) power isleaving that crystalbutterfly artifact cuz that butterfly demon had stored the dragon deity's power from that hurricane guy in that artifact
