So true 😂, also I thought the emperor was a hypocrite at that moment, saying he hates artefacts and destroying them, but then ends up actually keeping one to use against her.

I think that he didn’t want her to know because the portrait changed to her I took screenshots and went back and looked and not only is the stance in the portrait different but the hair is different as well so I think the portrait actually was of MY which is why he didn’t want her to see it..

I think the difference is especially with JZB, he never harmed the innocent unlike STL. He even says in episode 32 that you have had to have killed 10 people. In order to learn the illusionary assassination technique.

The female lead also comes from an abusive background, so of course she doesn’t understand emotional intricacies.. She was also treated like a tool. Her mother even admits it that she never loved her. She only used her as a tool and a replacement for her son. If she showed weakness or losst the tournament she was punished, we see that early on an episode 19 when they’re using the soul seasoning technique on her. The memory that her mind grows up is the image of her in an isolated and lonely place. Her mother starts showing her affection when she thinks that she’s going to get the right answer out of her, but the minute she tells her that she can’t. She leaves her alone there and tells her she can remain there forever without family or friends, well, the female lead begs and cries her not to leave her alone there. Since this is why her mind conjured obviously it’s not the first time this has happened . Yes, she became STL’s light in the darkness when he came to see her tournament fight when she was like 15 or something? She was literally a teenager truckling with her own abuse, but still tried to to do something nice for someone? She was also a child herself. It’s not her fault that he clung to that momentary interaction and made it to be more than it was. She was also in survival mode..


As for STL trying to save JZB’s life by giving the female lead the Diwa root? Sure but he doesn’t do it without wanting something in return and that’s something in return is to ask her to marry him. The reason that JZB gave her the golden dream millet in the first and didn’t say anything was because he didn’t want her to feel like she has to repay him or be in debt to him he wants her to love him on her own. Where as yes STL does all these things for her, but he always expects her to develop feelings for him and when that’s not working, he emotionally blackmailed her. He always has the expectations that she will repay him somehow unlike JZB. Also, you can’t apply modern day mindsets to the characters since mental health doesn’t exist in these worlds lol.

Also, she does feel empathy for people since you know, she does say to her father that now that she knows she’s not actually the crown prince she could just up and leave? Why should their problems matter to her? After the way they cast her aside? Her dad master, she says to her basically that he knows she’s not the type of person to do that just because the problems have nothing to do with her and that she’s not just gonna up and leave for people. Even after her people treated her horribly and turned their backs on her. She still wants to save them from what’s coming so that says that she does have empathy.
She also came to the realization about how much people of the lower realms struggle because of the tournament. So yeah, you’re saying that she doesn’t have empathy and won’t be able to be a good ruler. That’s not true we see that when they first come to. Yuangong mountain and run into the associates of the little kids, brother.

Both leads have their own abusive and traumatic backgrounds and yet they never allowed themselves to harm the innocent period that’s the difference between them and STL.

This is what I was thinking cause I was like why can’t they work together? Lol. I think that

1)he’s going to miscalculate how much Buxui wants to see him so maybe he’ll spill everything to her.
2) that seriously does he expect her to sit around twiddling her thumbs? I think that he clearly miscalculates who she is lol

OK, so I went back and took screenshots and I’m pretty sure that the new portrait is of MY since it looked different from the portrait of BYL. The way the image standing was different and the hair was different so I think these portraits only appear when a Bo Clan member is going to die maybe? After all she is the only one that he worships?

And with her own artefact that he had confiscated and supposedly destroyed, what a hypocrite.

I’ve honestly never seen a drama like that lol. I think the closest they came with the moon brightens for you because the female lead was in love with the second male lead for like 2/3 of the series.

I had to go back and take screenshots to compare because I felt like it didn’t stay on screen long enough pretty sure now it’s a female because her hair was different and the way the port was standing was different. So that means that me and the reason why you cut off the heart and print was because what she was gonna be feeling was his grief because basically the picture was going to tell that she would die.

But the way he was talking to Buxui made it seem like he wasn’t the one who restored the portrait? He told him that he cut off the heart imprint right before it reappeared or just after or something. So it makes it seem like he wasn’t the one to do it cause wouldn’t you phrased it differently? Since it was just him and. Buxui so it’s not like she was around over here them talking about it.

Oh go back and pause it to see? Cause literally it was just like blank and then it was gone and then I was like wait I was like the portrait came back?

I’m confused about because the portrait burned itself and then right after a new portrait came into being and that’s why he suppresses his heart imprint because he didn’t want her to see this new portrait? Why did he not want MY to see this new portrait. What am I missing?

Because she’s a bitch, she only cares about herself. She even admitted it. The only reason she got pregnant was for her position out of fear that somebody else would take it didn’t even watch children as the only reason she got pregnant was here that lady Meng might take her position such an evil person. Honestly, like on the one hand, I really want them to both just walk away and let that kingdom burn because I feel that that’s what they deserve. They deserve to be able to walk away and just go live their life somewhere else. The emperor and the emperess will have no one to blame but themselves. I know it’s not gonna happen that way though because Ming Yi be able to walk away from her people

And she like crumble to the ground and was crying and he was just walking away. Listen to her cry. I was like 😭, I was like dude the least you could do is stand sentinel, considering that you brought this on her, and even then she still believes in him and speaks highly of him even though he broke her heart by removing their names😢

I’m pretty sure that she wouldn’t have given her the antidote because she swore an oath on her clan not to release it to the world and I don’t think that point she would’ve broken it. The only reason she broke it is because she felt guilty remorse for her sin and abandoning him to sunken abyss. So trying to cure him and breaking the oath to her clan was the only way she could atone for what she had done.

I’m pretty sure or I could be wrong that the substitute GMD wasn’t there, it couldn’t completely cure him, but it could suppress the symptoms

I know right?! It’s so laughable. Makes me angry is like she took MY away from family that would’ve loved her wholeheartedly only to use her as a tool. Pretty sure she would’ve done the same for her son because she doesn’t know how to love anyone but herself. Maybe in her delulu state she could be like I was doing what was best for him. I tried to look for him. It’s like no you’re an awful person.

he didn’t add it to the wall It was already there. They were just trying to clean it up, but it said. Ming Xian is the best. So they’ve cleaned up the is the best part and it was just her name so he just put it back.

What ring?

Here’s the thing though is it was all an act they were working together. So even though she freed him, I feel that he wasn’t really chained up too badly in the first place because they were putting out an act in front of her because they were working together, lol. I just think that Ming Xi forgot his role and was getting too caulking and arrogant

No right?! I was like why like why are they doing this to us? 😭
