asphyxia

in my opinion, he wants BJS to personally take responsibility for HRY bc after all like she said, there are many things in the mortal world that the heaven's immortals will never interfere with bc they must adhere to their rules. the xuan tian envoy doesn't visit them every day, and HRY is seen out of the dwelling quite often trying to save mortals, so it's quite plausible for the envoy to only meet w BJS. I do agree w the fact that he's one of the future villains; the strict rule followers always end up being revealed as the baddies 😖

idk i would watch the bts for chemistry, and as for ru yue, idk if you watched the heartbreaking "power-sealing" scene but you can tell she felt genuine betrayal. the betrayal hurts more when it's done by a loved one, whom she wanted to spend more time with in the mortal realm. in the current timeline, she can't get over the resentment of feeling abandoned in the past, but it'll gradually become more apparent that their feelings are mutual. like why the hell would she ask for a child with a man she didn't love? or share her power with him and fight alongside him? before this crazy hate session, there was genuine love. maybe that's hard to see now, but the microexpressions are what carry the layers of this show 🫶

yea im also proud of the two show's achievements, knowing that heat index isn't fully representative of cumulative popularity. still, breaking 10000 heat usually comes with benefits; sometimes it's a bonus livestream, a special photoshoot, an extra livestream (im dying for content 🥲)

idk, some complain that sweet moments are too brief, some want more angst, i appreciate the blend 🙊preference inevitably varies

ruyue sets a mortal pact to address their hatred, meanwhile jiusi smugly smiles after she accepts their temporary marital status in the mortal world 😂

it's so funny how canglei palace and jingyun sect are desperately searching for their masters with all their forces while worrying for their safety; meanwhile the masters in question in the mortal world: 💞💕💘

yesyesyes would love to, my heart cannot move on from this drama at all

I would literally not be enjoying this show as much if I couldn't scroll xiaohongshu/weibo to look at various takes. I wish more would enjoy the thrill of seeking answers/interpreting dialogue instead of limiting their scope to surface-level info. I find myself to be a terrible watcher of the mystery genre bc I simply lack attention to detail, but I'm still making an effort to rewatch and learn more. I hope more viewers can acclimate to this style 🫶🫶

i thought northward and moonlight mystique would appeal to different audiences yet neither eached 10k, i would argue it's not always about quality/genre, promotion factors in greatly

even weibo users arent too clear, it works too enigmatically compared to youku and tencent, baseline is viewership in china but there's no "known" formula of comment/viewership factors

i dont have membership and i can see it, i think you need to be on laptop/pc, i assume mobile doesn't work

9154, past few days it's been fluctuating 9000-9300

100000x agree!! episode 15 had me on the edge of my seat bc I was literally screaming seeing her screams of pains and his tears of guilt. honestly, how more explosive can a marriage get 😂 even though this is a fantasy genre drama, i agree that its themes and quotes are quite profound. the conflicting of ideals and self sacrifice are all relevant to real world relationships too, which is why i have a distaste for the comments that call the main leads dumb. do we not all act on our own beliefs? and isn't this drama highlighting the tensions and reconciliations arising from this? anyway, ty for the analysis since ik many seem to look down on the FL or ML for their actions. disbelief is natural, but to use this as a reason to criticize the plot?? recent dramas must have been so vanilla that inductive reasoning is impossible for the average viewer 😭😭😭

Who is HRX and LYQ? sorry im not good with abbreviations

that's afterwards, in the original mortal timeline, he does the power sealing without knowing about her weak state. he only comes to regret it and try to redeem himself later

you're talking about the previous life right? ep15 is where the mortal story ends and we come to understand the source of her resentment. prior to BJS & HRY's dispute, their marriage is quite tranquil. it'll go south soon, then north and east and west cause this drama loves to play with your emotions

LMAOOO red v blue type debate

in a xianxia with a mystery sub genre, nothing will make sense if you skip the details. you'll end up hating the drama more and more as you find the characters' actions inexplicable after missing certain details. seeing this comment section makes me realize people don't watch enough mind-challenging shows, often without a direct explanation, we must pick up the clues ourselves and think from the characters' POVs. HRY ignored BJS warnings about mortal realm interference several times, thus he rightfully believes that she would never truly be engaged in the love tribulation properly. out of his love for her, he is willing to make the silent sacrifice. HRY feels dismissed by BJS because of his adherence to the rules, thus she keeps her pregnancy a secret even amidst being abandoned. in her eyes, she treausred their mortal realm marriage but was suddenly abandoned by him in the tribulation lovelessly. the irony is that their conflicting ideals build up resentment but are also the ultimate "love trial". as immortals, they must experience all the emotional complications mortals face for their trial. hope this helps ! although I understand that there are more interpretations, but this one clicks the most for me 🫶

Without the dispute of “to intervene with mortals or not”, their marriage would be high sailing with no problems. Their tribulation is that even with rules set, they simply can’t compromise ideals and their love turns sour. I think that’s just an intentional plot device

wow all the reports on xiaohongshu are hyping up the hi6 episode a lot: apparently there were too many "CP moments", but unfortunately we may not see it until after the show finishes airing. CURSE THIS SCHEDULEEEEE 😭😭😭
