Erin

I think she’s already starting to regret it

I think they mentioned that Hou Zhao oh, I knew something about it because he mentioned cultivation

I was watching one of the music videos and I don’t know what happens, but it shows Si Tu carrying the female lead away I think she appears to be unconscious while JZB just stand there

Well, she did try to deny her identity of the second male lead. He just didn’t necessarily believe it. Now that he knew the truth what else could she do? But just ask him to not say anything. Sure she made friends with the second female lead, but the second female lead didn’t know who she was and didn’t question her identity. She was raised in the palace, so I’m sure she was raised with good social skills in order to get people to believe her lol. Also, she was at the moon blossoms place for a couple of months so I think that would give her enough time to start knowing how to act like a woman lol and being comfortable in her skin in that way.

And yes, she might start to realize now that he cares about her, but she doesn’t give the impression that she’s a very self-aware person. If you can’t understand your own emotions, how can you understand the emotions of others? Like she’s just not an emotionally intelligent person sure we can see through his actions that he loves her, I think, because she first started realize it when the bottle of stars smashed on the ground. Before that, though, I don’t think that his actions were very clear that he loved her.. They each have their own trauma which obviously affected them in different ways so I’m giving her a little bit of grace even if I don’t like how she does it.

That’s OK this is how I know a story is really good and is captured my interest when I can read all these spoilers and still go back and watch them. Well, although it’s not really spoilers considering the novel and drama are literally nothing alike. I just was getting a bit annoyed at reading. All these comments of people are like literally bashing the female lead for not trusting him easily as he seemed to trust her because his background was more abused. It’s like she also has her own trauma and literally was raised in an environment where she wasn’t allowed to trust anyone Where she had to hide who she was this kind of systematic I guess indoctrination maybe isn’t gonna be overcome just because the male lead shows her a little bit of an opening where she might be able to trust him

They were so cute lol

This is what I’m thinking although I’ve heard that he gives it to her in a scallion pancake, and she doesn’t even realize it until a few days later. So maybe she won’t be in that desperate situation if she’s dying because I don’t think she’ll be able to eat a scallion pancake if she literally on death door.

I think her living in luxury wasn’t that great honestly. Not only was it instilled in her that she had to lie about her very identity to literally everyone except for obviously 27 her mother, the Empress, and her master. It didn’t seem like her mother viewed her with a lot of affection, unless she constantly proved herself how strong she was, and that she was number one in the arena all the time. The minute that she wasn’t number one when JZB defeated her because she was poisoned and she could no longer maintain the illusion that she was a guy her mom cast her out. So sure on the surface she lived a life of luxury, but only because she was constantly winning and showing that she was on top, I’m sure that the moment even as a child, she showed weakness that luxuries probably stripped away as punishment. Even though it was under the pretence that her mom was doing it for her own benefit, she literally threw her out on the streets with nothing but the clothes on her back knowing that she was poisoned and she was going to die. She basically just left her to go die on her own. If it wasn’t for her master, I think telling her that JZB have the antidote she probably would’ve just died in obscurity. Or the people who were looking for her, would’ve just killed her on sight . I don’t agree with what she did, but I’m also giving her a little bit of slack because although her upbringing didn’t seem on the surface to be as horrific as his was because obviously he was a slave and he grew up being experimented on in horrific conditions. I don’t think she personally had it all that great either. Having to constantly prove yourself to have a parent love you is a form of abuse to. So I’m giving her a bit of slack even though I don’t like her actions either.

What don’t you understand?

I feel that before he learns of the poison she is going to lose more petals since now she has to rove herself even more

Same, I keep coming back here as if it will make the episodes come faster lol

lol. As horrific as his childhood was and let’s be real, it was pretty awful. It doesn’t appear that he had to lie or deceive anyone around him about who he was. As horrible as his early years were at that time he could always just be himself.

I honestly think he’s more open to accepting of his feelings towards her more than she is accepting of her feelings towards him.

I would think with always having to deceive people, though who she was her sense of self would be pretty effed

I was thinking about this today and I think it’s because it’s been so engrained in her since infancy to lie about who she is if you think about it cause not even those closest to her other than the empress her mother, her master and 27 know that she’s actually a woman. Even though she can think to herself, he’s a good man like he’s wants justice for his master. I think it’s been so engrained in her to not trust anyone no matter what. So I think that that’s why, even though she might’ve been given the smallest opportunity to tell him the truth something that’s been so systematically engrained in her pretty much since infancy is not gonna just go away like that.

Apparently, even though I feel all the signs are there that she is MX. She continues to lie and even tries to convince him that she’s MX’s fiancé or something. 😂

You already see it in episode 13 that it’s more that he’s hurt that she’s deceiving him through her identity. I think that’s it. We see it in episode 13 where when he has to try and carve her name into the marriage stone and is repeatedly struck by lightning because in order for them to be able to carve their initials into the marriage stone, there has to be genuine, emotion, and sincerity there. It won’t let him carve her name into it because. Her name Ming Yi is not her true name so every time he tries, he gets struck by lightning. He says something like I knew it. Which confirms that he knew that she was deceiving him about who she was, but he doesn’t know that she’s actually. Ming Xian yet. So I think that that’s what they’re referring to that she’s still hiding her identity from him, which has put him in a bad situation because now he’s committed to standing by her side to the world so now he still has to continue putting on an act with her, even though he doesn’t think she genuinely has emotions for him yet.

We haven’t met her father yet though, and since things are working out much differently in the drama, we don’t know if that’s what they’re going to follow. Since in the novel we know that from the very beginning, the empress has been poisoning her to control her. She knows that the empress has been poisoning her to control her. In the drama, though as far as we know, this is the first time she’s been poisoned and she doesn’t know who did it. And the drama she seems to have a much better and more loving relationship with her mother at least on the surface. So I don’t think we can follow the novel about what’s happening since they apparently deviated quite a lot so the drama is kind of its own story.

This is in the novel and they’re not following the novel very well, so maybe this is something they’ll change

Because when you’ve never had that emotion yourself or had anyone show those kind of genuine emotions, to you? how are you supposed to recognize them in yourself? lol.

No he respects him as a warrior and even told MY that if he had a chance, he’d give him his broken fan back

Can’t be entirely fake though because otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to cross the bridge so there’s something there. I just don’t think she recognizes it so I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree lol
