Now I just hope they won't delay resurrecting 27 and reuniting MingZai, so Mingyi and JBZ can have some sweet peace before all the madness that is about to fall

It was never about the SL; even without him, she would have done the same. However, with the SL present, the game the ML is playing geared up, so her reaction became more apparent. If you think her actions are because of SL's presence in front, then you are completely wrong.

He is doing things with the clear goal of benefiting from it. Right after he woke up, he held her hands despite her obvious discomfort, then guilt-tripped her into making a promise. From the start, all of his actions were designed to gain her favor and get close to her. He did not act selflessly or without expecting anything in return. I consider his actions wrong because he is doing things even after she clearly rejected his help, and he still has the nerve to use it to make her feel guilty. He clearly knows she doesn't like it when he touches her, but he still does it anyway. He doesn't respect her feelings and constantly tries to violate her personal space. If these actions aren't considered wrong, I don't know what else to say.

I heard there were past cases of self-harm ending in death from believing in concepts like time travel, transmigration, and similar ideas. As a result, the government reportedly took steps to ban such endings.

It's not obvious, She lived her whole life as a prince, and how does it make sense to question her identity just because she entered a barrier that is only said to be acceptable to Bo clan members? Furthermore, how true this statement is is arguable. Besides, there is a literal consciousness of JBZ's master inside, and this could lead to many other speculations for them. JBZ's master calling Mingyi "Ming Xian" proves that.

So yeah, it's not that obvious to them. SL didn't know what happened inside, making it easier for him to conclude that she might be a descendant. It was easy for him to question her origin because he is the third party here, but for Mingyi and JBZ, it's not that easy to question it.

From the point he started to trust her, he stopped trying to find out about her identity or questioning her, believing that if there was anything he had to know, she would tell him. But now the situation was different, so he tried to piece things together, and obviously, he had more clues now than in Episode 13. It is simply impossible for him to think that Ming Xian is a girl and not a boy because he literally fought her and saw a man's face, and Mingyi never acted like a warrior in front of him.

As for the blood test thing, the beast collecting the blood drop could mean many different things. The fact that his master recognized Mingyi as Ming Xian only made it difficult for them to think of Mingyi as the descendant. How do you expect them to think she is a Bo clan descendant when she basically lived her whole life as a prince? SL only figured it out because he has more information about this place and its requirements. JBZ and Mingyi are thinking that she was allowed in because his master allowed her to.

Maybe that's why they became villains: because they have more information and their interests don't align with the MC's.

And yes, the fox girl is OP. She can easily get a lot of information and she's very loyal to SL. The dude should be obsessed with her, not Mingyi.

On the surface level, one might see it as her evading him, but from the beginning she always gave a clear "no" to SL.

He also knows her identity, which is a sensitive matter for her. She didn't sense any malice from him, and remembering the lone kid he was, she tried to be as nice as possible. However, he doesn't listen when she is being nice.

She used JBZ's jealousy, which was caused by SL's actions, to her benefit, yes. But again, she always acted normally in front of SL. She never acted in any provocative way that might imply her interest in SL or tried to provoke JBZ by the way she treated SL. The idea that she is in a "grey zone" with him is simply her trying to be kind to a lonely boy she knew from back then.

To put it simply, she didn't bother to deal with him at first because she tried to be kind and didn't know he was obsessed with her. Now that she understands a bit about his unhealthy obsession, she has again given a clear "no" multiple times, but he doesn't listen.

And yes, let's see what happens in the upcoming episodes!

SL has more info because of his servant fox girl and he actively tried to find information of golden millet for years but JBZ never wanted to search for it and Mingyi only recently started looking for it, So the information gap is understandable.

Damn, I never thought I would type a text this long, but anyway.

I'm not talking about the lies between her and JBZ. I'm just saying that her personal matters, whatever she was doing were hers, and she didn't have to tell SL the truth. While she is grateful for his help, Mingyi never wanted him to get involved in her matters. From day one, she rejected his advances, but he ignored her words. What could she do when he wasn't showing any hostility and just genuinely wanted to help?

I don't know why you think she was purposely flexible with him, but I guess she might have considered using his help when needed because she's in a foreign realm with no support. However, she never actively tried to get his help. It was he who came to her whenever she was in any danger. Even then she always maintained a boundary, and of course, SL is trying to erase it.

Right after she woke up, she told him not to care about her and not to get involved in her matters anymore, but he didn't listen. She actually repeatedly told him not to get involved, but he ignored her. I think she has now simply stopped actively telling him not to get involved because she knows that no matter what she says, he won't listen. Instead, he acts all sad and miserable in front of her for rejecting his help and becomes touchy.

Before, he thought he had time, so he was never aggressive with his advances. But now that she is in a dire situation, he is obviously using it to get close to her. If you think about it SL could only find her as soon as she came out of JBZ's residence because he was stalking JBZ's house. Also Mingyi doesn't know SL's true identity; she only knows that he is from 'that' realm.

Mingyi is quite uncomfortable with him at this point, but her current concern is to find the golden millet and not deal with a guy who is obsessed with her.

I think the same, and also it seems like he can still live a long life without the Golden Millet. I hope they will show more about his poisoning in episodes 27 or 28."

I know he didn't really do anything majorly wrong, but the only thing I find excessive is him getting touchy with her when she clearly showed discomfort. She told him not to get involved in her matters, but he insists on doing so. The problem is she doesn't know how to give a clear 'no' without being rude or hurting his feelings. I feel she treats him as a brother, and seeing how much he cares for her, she doesn't want to hurt him.

As for her lies, that's a personal matter between her and JBZ. She never wanted him to get involved, so she doesn't have to tell him. Even without telling him, he has plenty of evidence that she is madly in love with JBZ. While I know that his knowing she's in love with someone else doesn't mean he has to stop his feelings for her, this transformation of his respect into an unhealthy obsession is kind of angering many watchers. His trying to do everything to save her is commendable, but his bluntly ignoring her feelings is arguably not right.

I think it's because he's doing those things while expecting her love in return. At first, he genuinely wanted her to be safe, but now he's also started acting in a way that's making Ming Yi feel uncomfortable.

Why did he hide the fact that he gave her Golden Millet Dream? I heard this happened in the novel as well. Is there a reason behind it, or does he just want to hide from her that he broke his promise with his master?

Yeah, I just watched, but there were no subtitles. So I didn’t understand most of what was actually happening.

Where did you watch the ep 24 trailer?

Yes, but if you remember, there is a scene where she tells her pet that once she steals the golden millet and leaves, he will hate her and forget about her. She knows things will get ugly, but she hopes/thinks once she goes back to her disguised self, there will be no more Mingyi.


She knows things won’t be that simple as he would just forget her and…
That’s why I said she’s just being human. Most people can think clearly when judging others’ emotional decisions, but when we’re the ones caught in those moments, who knows what kind of foolish choices we’d make? She believes that once she returns to being Ming Xian, there will be no more JBZ or Mingyi.

I think it’s more that she doesn’t want to know what he would happen after she tells him the truth. Would he still give her the golden millet, or would his trust in her shatter or something even worse? She knows that JBZ never trusts anyone, but now he is truly trusting her, and she is scared. What would he think if he knew that she approached him for the golden millet dream like everyone else? To her, stealing seems like the simpler choice. She just can’t summon the courage to face what might happen.

She’s lived her whole life hiding her true feelings from her mother and perhaps even from her pet. She can face horrors like Nether beasts without flinching, but when it comes to emotions, she’s terrified. She never learned how to deal with them.

In episode 22, when she was about to reveal her true identity, she stopped. His honest, caring eyes made her feel a kind of fear she never knew existed. She knows he loves her deeply, but that knowledge alone isn’t enough to dispel her fear. In the end, she’s just being human.

I was trying to say that they looked similar, but I just compared their costumes, and yeah, I think it's really her spirit pet that was chained. Maybe things would go down similar to your theory.

I think it's Mingyi that was captured, or maybe the fox girl, because in the teaser there is a glimpse(0.45) of a girl chained.
