yes yess yes.

I find this kind of question strange. it’s not about “supporting Jing” it’s about supporting XY and what will make her happy. Regarding Jing being weak. How is he weak???? This is a strange analysis to me. He survived torture that would have killed nearly anyone else. He survived the pain without even screaming when XY tried to put his pieces back together. He doesn’t fear anyone and will fight anyone to protect XY. So he’s no coward. He’s filial and loyal to his grandmother which is not weakness but respect. He was drugged and hallucinated into believing he was being seduced by XY yet was strong enough not to succumb to the desire and not sleep with FFYY. That’s the opposite of weakness if you understand men. BOTH He AND XY took a passive role to BabyGate so BOTH could be called weak on that score for not being more assertive & aggressive to get to the bottom of it but they both snap out of that and work together to expose the truth. JING is the one with the best chess skills and strategic thinking and nearly single handedly maneuvers CX to be able to become king. He stops XY wedding. Being kind and quiet & respectful does not equal “Weakness”. He is deeply flawed as is XY….. as are all of them but I think one of my issues with the criticisms here are that they aren’t in good faith. They are a matter of someone’s personal taste and people projecting their own taste in men into YaoYao who loves 3 men in 3 different ways. And none of them are weak.

Can you explain again? In S2 if is clarified that her mother is the legitimate biological daughter of Old King & Queen of Xaoling and XY is biological daugter. For political marriage XY becomes Princess of Haoling surrounded in rumors about paternal parentage so the Old Xiling King clarifies that he will make it clear that she is the “legitimate granddaughter” of Xiling. This isn’t about her mom being a disciple. Her mom is a biological Xiling. On the show.

Yes correct thank you. It’s made much much clearer in the second half of the series that she is the legitimate granddaughter of the Xiling Old King & Queen and her mother is not a disciple but their daughter. And thus she IS CX blood cousin.

SO their is no “successor” for Haoling kingdom because the king had no sons and neither daughter was interested in ruling. Haoling is on the brink of instability if the current king, who rules with an iron fist dies. CX has some previous grudge against the King for being the reason CX father died. Haoling King obtained the thrown in a pretty ruthless way which is one of the reasons why he tries to be such a good loving father.

But mainly CX wants to unify the 3 Kingdoms to bring stability and peace and avoid what could come if Haoling king dies and there is a battle for the thrown. He thinks conquering it now is the better plan for the future of the Kingdom.

This is how I have interpreted as well.

I’m slightly confused by these replies can you clarify.

on the show ….. they seem to say she is the Xiling princess, daughter of Xiling King and sister of CX father. And CX was hostage prince to Haoling but calls Xaoling King master.

But here people are claiming that on the show she is only disciple of Xiling Grand Queen. I missed that. Am I misunderstanding show relationship that her mother and CX father are both children of XILING King & Queen and thus blood cousins.

I repeatedly make a distinction between the SHOW and the NOVEL.

The show is not the novel. For whatever reasons the show has some changes and this is a page for the show though I absolutely love commentary from the novel.

On the show, for whatever reason, maybe censorship, they have removed the romance and sexual nature at least from XY’s side in the blood sucking. And once she becomes Princess she only even lets him suck from her wrist/arm in the most unromantic from her side way.

According to the script for the show she will try to unalive herself over Jing and yet again be saved by XL who of course she has grown a deep deep love connection too but isn’t it one she finds dangerous and unpredictable and scary and unsafe? The love of the toxic bad boy with a heart of gold.

Regarding what the actors are saying……. “SHIPPING” Is a huge huge part of selling dramas and the actors almost ALWAYS play into multiple ships and are coy and leave open lots of room for fans of different characters to enjoy their ships. So I don’t base much on fan service.

he’s not my JING JING and I don’t do “shipping”.

I’m literally just watching the show. literally. that’s it. I’m a grown married woman I don’t obsess about FICTIONAL SHIPS. it’s so silly and absurd.

🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

I’ve read a number of interpretations/theories of the Robe on the shore and many of them don’t include it being her waiting specifically for XL or anyone particular and someone said their was an interview with the writer who said it wasn’t about XL but I don’t recall where I saw it. I have no insight into what was in XY’s head on the shore other than clear reluctance to marry FLong.

I DO think she wanted someone, anyone to come rescue her from her bad decision and to stop the wedding before it happened but at least for me…. via the show….. her willingness to marry XL/FFB at that time when she still thinks a life with Jing is impossible because of baby gate is a consolation prize type of situation where she will reluctantly and apprehensively be with XL if she cannot be with Jing. XL is her second choice.

Again this is *strictly* SHOW interpretation based on show XY.

Jing has flaws but this whole “Coward” narrative is absurd.

No one is saying it’s not complex and that she doesn’t LOVE them all. in fact I repeatedly say she LOVES them all in DEEPLY but in different ways.

“XY doesn’t love Jing the way he loves her”

*On the show* Jing is the only one she falls into a DEEP depression over and when she thinks he has been killed she decides she no longer wants to live and tries to unalive herself.

like what are some of you even saying.

ok yes let’s see because they have not made that distinction on the show yet and that still seems to not constradict the idea that HE accepted wholeheartedly and HE is deeply in love. My only point I keep making is that her love via show is not shown to be the same *romantic* kind of IN LOVE love that they show for Jing. it is LOVE…… but a different kind.

ok LOVERS bugs. The point remains the same. are you going to claim she and CY were romantic lovers and she was in romantic love with him? No. They had a deep profound love but she was not IN love with him.

When they lured the bug out of CX and in to XL she was not remotely IN LOVE with XL but he was at the beginning stages of falling IN love with her.

Ahe grows to feel a profound love for XL but on the show it’s not a romantic lusty love it’s still a platonic love.

Actually he could not have done it without TSJ help and TSJ wouldn’t have helped if not for XY so yes you are right he could not have done it without XY.

Do you understand it’s not about whether he would win or lose. The point is that he is no COWARD. He’s not your real boyfriend and this isn’t real life. RELAX and touch grass lol

ok since people replied to my previous comment about SHOW XY and XL having an unrequited romantic love relationship with “that is not true because of the love bug”

I don’t know about Novel but in the SHOW both parties do not have to be in love for the love bug to work. only the RECEIVER of the bug has to be in love. Which is why she was able to place it in CY. XY has never been in love with CY nor has SHOW XY been IN love with XL, especially not at the time XL received the bug.

I keep saying there are different kinds of love. For SHOW XL/XY there is a possibility for XY to fall in love with XL/FFB in the future under different circumstances if he was not Xiling & CY enemy but at no time in the series YET has she ever been in love with him the way she is with Jing. And the love bug is not contrary to that as evidenced by it also having been in CX.

ummmm are you watching the show because on the show it’s very clear Jing is the only one she wants to marry and spend her life with. This is an absurd comparison.
