Yea, but I didn’t find it annoying because even though he was trying to reconcile the spirit fires, his power…
Yes he was still powerful and some ways , those things were orchestrated by him so he could get rid of that demon god. But when you watch it first time it is not that obvious
The reason everyone hated the second half was because Sima Jiao is the weakest in this arc. He was so heartbroken and helpless and top it his constitution was very weak because of the 2 spirit fires . And he was going through all that pain. Struggling with the fact that he may have lost that one person who truly cared about him. Watching second time - gosh Chen Feiyu’s acting in this arc is at a different level!!

Same - only 2 dramas made me feel this way. 1. Lighter and Princess - also with Arthur Chen 2. Till the end of the moon- another XINXIA . This one has come close to TTEOM for me
I just came back to say this, mind you this guy who has been isolated (as in no human contact) for 500 years and…

so when zou yan was in liao tingyans body as liao tingyan, she couldnt kill as she was from the modern era so…
I don’t think it’s hypocrisy. Her memories were erased and Shi Qianlv was brain washing her, putting false memories in her head etc. all this is basically like assassin training - he was priming her to kill so she can handle Sima Jiao when the time came. She was being forged into a weapon. And that is why we see that change in personality- she does not have that warmth and caring that LTY had
