ok beside the editing for 19.... This episode was great! All of the things that happen in this arc, they kinda…
So the illusion is a very specific one, "Dream of the Yellow Millet." Yes, the same name for Love in the Clouds (2025), the antidote that cures the FL poison. and gave the ML spiritual roots.
It is a reference to a poem by Lü Dongbin, a Daoist scholar. Where he had a dream and lived out his entire life until he died, and when he woke up, his Millet was done cooking.
You aren't just in an illusion; you actually live out your entire life as a what-if. This is very important, cause this affects Ji Tong Zhou the most!
The accompanying description in the novel of the illusion "Flowers in a Mirror, Moon in the Water - The Yellow Millet Dream. Do not lose yourself in it."
Episode 19, the editing... when they just jump from Lifei walking out of the room, leaving LXY and JTZ in the room, to her talking to Gelin. I knew the scene was cut cause 7 episodes were cut, but that transition is so noticeable and kinda hilarious.

Oh, there is a detail about the illusion mentioned in the novel that they didn't really explain. I include it in the spoiler in the comments.
But all we know is they know each other and he commanded that demon to ripped her arm off.
How far have you gotten ?
Or I watch to much C-Drama and get bored of similar characters
