Yes! I am glad she stepped up. Heavenly Emperor is a fool. He had such a great wife and great kids. Yet, all this for nothing at the end.

Xianxia in general just repeats the same trope over and trope again since the basis of it is:
1) Good VS Evil,
2) Perhaps Good is not actually Good and Evil is not actually Evil
3) Fights between deities
4) Humans are surprising candidates who has the power to overtake the gods
5) Mortal arc
6) Memory loss
7) Love facing obstacles due to being on different sides
8) Big boss at the end (LOL)

Basically rinse and repeat and that's why xianxia has been stagnant for years. I personally haven't watched any xianxia dramas for years since they are pretty much all the same. TSL got me hooked again though. YQ is basically the best ML ever and showed that a xianxia ML can actually protect their FL *side eye Ye Hua*. YT is such a breath of fresh air since they tend to make xianxia FL extra foolish in the beginning so they can show them being powerful later on and "matured"/"turn dark".

Heavenly emperor got the ending he deserved. Death would had been too easy for him and just further "justified" that the realms were "right" and YT is evil/will end the world. They won't care about the details, just that YT killed the heavenly emperor who is supposed to be "good" and guarded the common people. Taking away his cultivation is the way to go because people will see YT left this man alive instead of just outright destroying him. In addition, nothing hurts the Heavenly Emperor more than not having power. He now has nothing, no wife, no kids, no realm. His own clan let YT in because they all know he is in the wrong. And he is going to have to live the rest of his life having to swallow this humiliation.

Yetan getting her revenge and finally finding peace/willing to live her life fully again... but we know what is happening next episode...

Yup, she remained logical through it all.

I just adore her so much.

Yup! People tried to kill her since she was young, she knew more than anyone that those who has those bad intentions toward you won't just suddenly disappear regardless of how kind you are.

Phew, YT is so badass! She really grieved and then went revenge mode. Super satisfying seeing her taking out everyone and another great callback to earlier episodes where she wanted to rule the void realm. Another thing I appreciate about this drama is that FL actually go exact revenge. There has been so many dramas where the FL say they will go get revenge but they either back out later or the revenge was never fully done. YT is the perfect FL for this because other xianxia FL (or "nicer" characters) would had just accepted their fate and live out the rest of their lives in peace since a loved one sacrificed for them, not YT though!

Yes! She is passionate about acting too from her interviews/been acting since she was a child and want to explore different roles so she will definitely be acting for a long time.

Agreed! There were rumors before they filmed that they were going to swap her out with someone else but glad she was the final pick at the end.

Just ironic how the realms are self-fulfilling prophecy at this point. If they had left the twins alone, it would had been okay but no, now Guxiu is going to open again too.

Also gotta praise LLD again, she is so good as YT. Even more so when you read/watch their interviews and you see that LLD is nothing like YT. Even CXX said LLD is more on the quiet side/like a kitty. LLD herself said YT's emotions are more expressive and outward while she herself is more stable/internal. Also this is first time LLD did a more comedic role and she herself said she was worried at first and cried because she didn't think she can hit the comedic parts of the character but she did so well.

RIP to Man Man. Just angst after angst. Just thinking about how Man Man had always been there for Yetan through it all. If QK gave YT familial love, then MM was the one who made YT less lonely. Remember that despite QK wanting to be with YT, she had her duties/studying as the heaven to-be consort so MM was probably the one who was always in person by YT. Can't wait to see YT wipe out everyone since they are just pushing her at this point to do it.

Yeh, WL got that child actor image so it is hard not to associate him with still being young when he is going into his mid 20s. His looks is more on the boyish side too.

WL is also so young looking/boyish that I can’t see him as WR who is more mature and sophisticated looking. Like I can believe WR goes around sleeping with women but WL’s version of WR? It did be hard to believe in my opinion 🤣

Agree, there are not many actors in this age range who can play all 5 characters; YQ 1.0, LM, MYQ, WR, and YQ 2.0

Not to mention CXX himself came up with a lot of the mannerisms for these characters to bring them to life. LM in the novel speak full sentences but CXX changed it to fit LM’s character setting aka someone who didn’t speak to others for a long time, so won’t make sense to be able to speak in full sentences.

Comments brought up YY but YY is not the best actor. He plays decent in the roles he does (cold/cool male leads) but he doesn’t have enough depth in his acting. There was this movie he acted before where he was more of a non-cool character and he got dragged by netizens for being “oily”. It is not easy acting a character who is outgoing/flirty without coming off of as greasy.

WL is a good actor and I can see him acting as say LM and MYQ. But I can’t see him as WR. Wenren’s looks matter to the character and WL doesn’t have the “pretty boy” look to transform him into WR. Imagine WL with that WR wig and pink robe. 😭

Love them, and you can tell how much YQ was hurting for YT too, watching her with teary eyes as she let it all out. He didn't push her to forgive her father, but just be there for her. Couple goals.

She deserves the world 😢

Her crying scene had a mixture of sadness, relief, and happiness, I still don't care for the emperor since I believe there was still something that he could had done instead of just outright neglecting her and just let the court roll him over. But I am happy for her, she just wanted to know deep down her father cared in some ways.

LLD's crying scene when YT discovered all those years of birthday presents... really thankful for this cast because they can ACT
