ShortCircuit

My take is a bit different LOL.

Phase 1 (hostage prince): Nobody cares about me and I don't even care, I wonder what caring actually means. Oh hi there ADG. Hey, I need to kill some demons and take their power. Also, I don't dream.

Phase 2 (hostage prince): I got powers now, what do I do with them? (Still bored though.) Maybe I should kill my wife and her whole family and while I'm at it, why not kill MY family too? Crows, assemble!

Phase 3 (hostage prince): This woman is acting strange, is she finally crazy? Though... warm green winter coat. Let's have a snowball fight.

Phase 4 (upcoming Jing Emperor): I got a honour guard now (hot men, but I don't even care about those things.) Also I got poisoned by my brother and YXW keeps saving me, what the heck is wrong with this woman? Also, hot little fox demon (but I don't even care about those things x2).

Phase 5 (hot-braided Jing Emperor): I hear they have dragons under water, let's get some. Oops triggered a trap noooooo~~~~~~

Phase 6 (Flood Dragon): This man is stupid for foregoing all that power for the love a woman, That's my take. YXW, what did YOU get from that dream? Also, here's a tear, kill me please.

Phase 7 (Jing Emperor): Having friends is kind of fun. Dear diary, my wife is trying to kill me with her cooking. I made her an offer she couldn't refuse (let her choose her own burial spot, ain't I romantic? PSYCH!! *smirk*)

Phase 8 (Jing Emperor): Dear diary, I may have to kill some of my friends. My wife keeps proposing we should get married, is she amnesiac? I thought we already did. Eh whatever let's just go on with it. WHAT THE HELL YXW DID YOU JUST!.....

Phase 9 (Jing Emperor, unravelling): My wife died, I wanna die, let the world die, let everybody die and YQY if you put that finger on me I'm going to set the palace on fire. ...Well you've been warned.

Phase 10 (Immortal wannabe): Things I've learned from 500 years of digging through acid: chemistry is hard. Also, don't do this at home kids. Oh hi Shifu! Teach me your ways.

Phase 11 (CJM): This woman keeps coming back from the dead, pretending not to know who I am and breaking my heart. If I knew it was going to be this hard, I'd've died in the snow. Also, hot demoness (but I don't really care about those things x3).

Phase 12 (CJM): Dear diary, my wife wants to marry me yet again. From past experience, that means she wants to kill me. I have no idea what the hell did I do this time. Please advise, waiting online for an answer!

Phase 13 (Hot ADG) Miss me? Hehe. TTJ, come to the dark side. We have cookies!

Phase 14 (Tantai Jin): You know what? I'm just going to end it all. Either it's All-In-Distress-Way and the world goes boom, or my wife kills me (she seems not to need any special reason). The heck! The cheek of this scriptwriter to kill off the hottest guy(s) on this side of the planet and reality (but I don't really care about those things x4).

Phase 15 (Tantai Jin): Dear diary, my wife made me lose my virginity in Bo'Re Life, should I google if she can get pregnant in a dream?

Phase 16 (Li SuSu): Baby, your dad was a hero, he was the most beautiful man on this side of reality, *very small voice* and I killed him. I mean, he looked so good suffering, I couldn't help myself. Let's ask the novelist to write up a good HE for the broken hearted :D

The End :D

After the BE of the story, there are a few more chapters in the novel detailing how ZiMi (their daughter) actually manages to find him a thousand years later, after he is reincarnated and living a mortal life. From there, LSS doesn't let him go again.

A kind member of this comment section is currently TLing those final chaters, you can find them in the discussions area.

I know. I won't ever get over the green winter coat and what it means to him. T_T

LOL, as it happens in basically ANY xianxia hahaha. It happened in Love and Redemption too, did they forget the ten mortal lives tribulation?!

People keep trying to find reasons and don't even know what they're talking about :D

That typo tho' O.o

D3 and I finally managed to get through the last few scenes again. I had to stop at the end of 39 every time, before.

Despite the pain, it FEELS like a HE for me.

As we speak.

The green-eyed ADG deserved a good fighting chance too, LOL.

A tribulation or trial is what makes someone overcome an obstacle (or gain a higher rank).

For immortals, it could be battling through a specific hard level of cultivation and could happen at any time once they're gaining enough power. The highest cultivation is needed for attaining godhood and usually the tribulations include facing lightning or thunderstorms. It's because gaining immortality goes against the Heavens so you first have to suffer a lot to deserve it (and it's still against the laws of nature).

And it's not just the one time. There's this danmei story I really like where an ancient dragon has to go through a lightning tribulation once every thousand years or so, and he can even time it or delay it a bit because he's god-level powerful. He also always passes it, but it hurts LOL, so he doesn't like to have to go through it.

For those already in the Heavenly Realm (small-time gods or godesses) who still have to go through tribulations, it's usually to gain even higher power (Ming Ye would have had to go through them to become God of War in place of TH's father) or to be punished, sometimes. If they're sent to the mortal realm for one or ten lives' time it's usually a punishment but not always.

In LaR for example, SiFeng and XuanJi's fates are linked through 9 or 10 mortal lives and they count as tribulations for her to regain her powers as a goddess of war. There's a mortal life tribulation even for JinMi and XuFeng in AoL.

LSS has to go through tribulations because she's already half a phoenix goddess and has a high cultivation level. Always trying to get higher is the whole idea of cultivation. And in the end she needs to attain Nirvana and become powerful enough to take down Devil God all by herself. TTJ knows that only a goddess can bring DG down so he pushes her to face the final lightning tribulation alone (the whole 81 hits of it) and ascend.

It IS the real ending and I won't hear otherwise LOL. I mean, I only needed this one picture to make peace with the drama's end scene :D

The real ending :D

It's a freaking national TV network. They have the most coverage area. Not putting down TK, but there is no reason to even compare any web-released drama (with a much restricted viewers pool) to a national network drama, they stand no chance whatsoever.

Given that, though, a quarter of the views of a CCTV drama is a hit for any web drama.

I haven't read the novel LOL. But I don't mind kinks. And the way they are with each other makes sense. I mean, it's their first time EVERY time :D

They're a bit awkward and it's allowed :D

1. He's hot. (Okay that's not her motivation, but it makes sense LOL). She's influenced by MY's Bo'Re Life (SJ's actions). And she still has feelings for him. It might be just a final pity f*ck but she did care for him and was sorry to see him become DG. She wanted a moment out of time herself.

2. The best sex is angry sex.

3. The official idea was to slap the immortal sects' respective faces. She's their Yuling Deity, he's marrying her whether she wants to or not. It's supposed to provoke them into coming and helping to kill him, too.

4. She didn't. She's playing for time.

This looks very well done, I like it. I didn't expect I would. I guess there's a wuxia on the horizon for me now :D

HA! I boasted I'd just take a short look because I would rather wait for Immortality, THEN maybe, if I felt like it, would watch TTEOTM.

And then he raised those murderous eyes at YXW and I was gone.

No, YBY is in the novel, and pretty important for a side chara. But their return doesn't go that way and the cliffhanger has to be solved in some manner... right?

LOL, I think TTJ decided to self-destruct so that he doesn't end up living CJM's tame life hahaha. He wants to be remembered for that laugh, for those eyes, the way those costumes are moving with him, and for the small little cruelties (remember him conducting the demon crows into scratching out everyone's eyes? :D)

For all those, though... I'd love to see a little bit more happiness for him.

A lot of people watching are used to happy endings. And TBH, TTJ deserved one. But the ending we did get is also earned (I STILL remember that just a few eps ago I was clamouring for him to become DG and destroy everything LOL).

This is xianxia. Dogblood stories are the norm, This one though - this one delivered massively.

I mean, I can't be the only one remembering the SCALE of everything? From battles (each and every one was a whole war on itself, I loved those fights!!!), to sets, to costumes, to epic music, to ACTING.

I mean, I was bawling for a few hours straight after ep 39 got on road and we ALL knew what he was doing and she still didn't realize it. To do away with the cursed fate and the DG, there was no other way. A fast manufactured HE would have spoiled the last eps, IMHO.

But it's not closed and done, either, so that very faint hope is what remains in the end.

LSS is half phoenix, half demon (from DM). She was incubated for more than ten thousand years herself before hatching. Her daughter is part phoenix, so she's also been hatched, probably. It takes a while. Hatching so early might have something to do with LSS and TTJ's powers combining to make it shorter. Or it might have to do with the fact she's not full phoenix.

Cultivators stop aging when they reach a certain level of cultivation. Immortals have cultivated into immortality (they usually don't look as young, though, immortality takes a while and some tribulations).
