It was real lmao. After he tried and failed to kill Jing he confessed to her and said he could wait for her to open her heart. He probably couldn’t kick them all out. But still…my cute deranged psycho.

Lmao can you imagine 3 bugs? They'd all know what XY was feeling and when she was lying to herself. It would be so chaotic. If only...I kind of like drama 🤣😂

Yes, the end of chp. 26 she finds out it's called lovers bug and is extremely hard to plant on someone, so much so that it's sort of a legend to some people.

At chp. 37 the voodoo king tells Jing and XY:

"The Lover's Bug -- either live in love or die in heartbreak. Once the Lover's Bug has been planted there is no way to break the spell. It is impossible. This is what I was trying to say earlier for why so few people raise it despite the great benefit. Only very determined girls would raise the bug but even if they successfully raise it, it's near impossible to find a man willing to accept the other bug to be planted in him."

So, she knows but she is in denial about it. She tries to convince herself that the voodoo king is mistaken and that since she was able to move it from Xuan to Xiang that there's a way to get rid of the bug.

XY does this about a lot of things concerning her love life and other things. If she doesn't want to accept or understand something she simply won't. So...yes she knows but at the same time no.

If anyone else wants to add anything I missed or correct anything, feel free to.

For those who don't want to read the whole thing, the only way to get rid of the lover's bug is via a "suicide method" cause the method involves you using your life to draw the bugs out. XL does this whole ritual thing and stabs his heart as well. What I just described is overly simplified so if you want more details, page 6 of the discussion thread has the excerpts from the translated novel.

For people wondering about the lover's bug thing, it's on chapter 48 of the translated version of the novel. I added excerpts in the XY and XL thread/discussion section.

I've been looking too. If anyone finds it please tag me too! :)

Ngl...some of you suck the fun out of commenting on here with the way y'all get mad over who ships who with who. This is literally fiction and within the last few days, I've seen so many people be unnecessarily condensing towards people who have a different ship from them. Is it that serious? This is literally fiction. One minute people are attacking people's character/integrity for liking someone who is a "red flag" next minute yall are attacking people for liking someone who is "boring". It's fine if you don't like certain characters but when did who someone likes in fiction suddenly become a reflection of who a person is in real life? When will you solo shippers rest? And I'm calling out solo shippers cause the main people doing this are solo shippers. It's getting weird.

That would be so funny!

My preferred pairing changes every day and sometimes hourly lmao.

Sometimes I want her to somehow have a happy ending with XL, maybe similar to how the character in the novel that the cdrama Rise of the phoenixes is based off of had.

Other times I want her to be with Jing and Xiang. Other times with Xuan. Other times with all three.

Xiang is definitely my favorite but only because I really really like the styling in the show and TJC's acting. I love how expressive his eyes are when he's conveying different emotions, the hidden smiles and his voice.

My least favorite is Feng Long but not because I hate his character or anything. I just feel like him and XL don't even really like each other based on what I read in the novel. But so far in the show it seems like he is somewhat attracted to her? So we will see if my opinion changes in the future.

Why is Jing the only happy one 😂😂 And XY looks so proud of herself. Sigh if only... My dream ship, F4 🤣

"Maybe some with 3 heads others with 5 heads, no 9 heads since their mum only has 1 head? If they came from eggs, XL probably needs to sit on them himself." 😂😂😂😂I need to edit a picture of XL sitting on his eggs 🤣🤣🤣

I feel like Jing's kids would be peacemakers. So cute.

Lmao @ XY being the bad parent.

😂

🤣 I feel like Xuan would have favoritism and cause issues. I agree with XL. I wonder if he'd be afraid at first? TSJ would be a great dad. And I feel like FL would either be a great dad or horrible idk though.

This isn't a spoiler question btw but...

What do you guys think XY's kids with either of the 4 ML leads would be like? And what do you think they'd be like as dads?

I'm wondering if XY and XL's kid would have nine heads too and if XY and Jing's kid would also have nine tales? Would FengLong be a good dad? Would Xuan? Hmmm.

Also, what would the kids look like at birth? If one is a snake would she pop out a snake egg and sit on it?

Unfortunately no. In fact, towards the end, XY thinks she means very little to him.
Some people have stated that because of their bond, deep down XY knows he cared for her. So there is some debate about that. I'm honestly confused about if at the end XY realizes that XL loves her back. I've been going back and forth tbh. If anyone wants to speak on this feel free to add your two cents.

Yes I love seeing TH being able to bring her world to life. It's so nice.

I'm wondering if they are going to keep the clam stuff or cut that down?... I'm also wondering if they will change the wedding scene a bit cause the clips I've seen look different. They also seemed to change CX and XY's confrontation from the clips I've seen in the trailer?

Also, before anyone says anything crazy to me, I am not complaining.

Script adaptations always have stuff that is slightly different than the novel because some things don't translate well onto the screen and also the time/budget constraints. Plus, TH is writing the script and she obviously knows her characters way better than any of us know them or will even know them.

I'm just asking this/wondering about the changes because 1. I'm curious, 2. I'm wondering if anyone else noticed or if I just imagined it and 3. I really really like spoilers🤣😂🤪

He sent people to assist Huo (or however you spell it), Jing's crusty brother in killing him cause at that point the only thing stopping him from getting XY was Jing. Especially since XY had already accepted that she and XL were doomed cause to be with him would be going against Xuan and her family which, in the novel, her dad and grandpa made very clear she could not do.

His sister XY gets jealous of Xiao Yao because Xuan is displaying very obvious signs that the only woman he loves is Xiao Yao. It gets to a point where XY can't stand it anymore and tries to have Xiao Yao killed. FL is complicate in these actions but Xiao Yao pretends like he isn't so Xuan won't get mad at him. I don't blame him cause XY is his sister so what's he supposed to do?

When is this coming out...
