asphyxia

it's like in all xianxias where the more you love them, the more secrets you keep (kills the hearts of the characters and the viewers 😭). although it would've been more honest for BJS to explain to HRY why he was against having children, he most likely knew she would be headstrong and risk her health for the birth, so he "lied" by omission. i think it's possible that she was already pregnant when she asked him about whether he wanted children or not, and after that it's just a battle of silence 😖she won't confess her pregnancy and he won't open up about his real concerns, but i would still like more moments of mortal realm sweetness pls

it's so complicated lolool. my theory is that she believed her and her child were abandoned without explanation, thus believes she doesn't owe any explanation for her hatred towards him. kind of like a "you know what you did" moment, but ultimately the tragedy rests in the fact that he probably did all that unintentionally / had his actions misinterpreted by HRY.

I’ve liked a lot of posts, and they’re usually in Chinese so idk if you would like all of them. Here are some:

ruyue clearly has a motherly instinct but feels unsupported, this is where all goes awry 😭😭would love 100+ more episodes of mortal realm sweetness before my heart is broken again

my marbles are all over the place, yall idk if my heart can take another episode bc ill start questioning if grass is green or not 😭

as I wait for more episodes, I just scroll 小红书 / rednote for sweet moments. that and weibo theories truly blow my mind, I notice a million things about the plot I didn't see before 😖

we can trust the actors' skills but not their words 😂 each minute my jaw drops further realizing i was in the dark

found an alternate link here, unfortunately xiaojingshan is only connected with zhangsuan as master / disciple, meaning other relations will only be revealed later on. a lot of the relations are like master / disciple, and most of the romantic ones are revealed (ex. senior sister lyu likes meng chu who likes demon girl xingman, zhangsuan secretly likes liqingyue, huareyue and baijiusi are lovers and enemies)

like all the other theories, I believe it’s bc she hid her pregnancy and was hurt by him in her weak state. he prob didn’t explain his motives in trying to save her which led to the misunderstanding. only time will tell eee

excited to see that too but im worried about the filming/airing gap. unfortunately it may air after the show finishes airing 😔

hoping for 10000 heat index... could get a photoshoot or a livestream as a bonus 🥲

not revealed bc it's an original plot, but trailers kinda support the theories: first life HRY and BJS were in love, she was pregnant but his attitude made her believe he would reject this new family life so kept it secret. there's a scene where it looks like she's in pain on bed and he's trying to use magic on her (?), which I believe is what might've hurt the child and her weak pregnant body which BJS knew nothing about. it's probably one of those classic xianxia spells where you lose power or suffer great pain so your life can be saved. her revenge mission was mainly for the child, so he never understood the source of her anger. he seems like the type to try to save her while keeping her in the dark about his motives.

I could help translate but im not good at photoshop, you can ask me what any of the lines mean!

it's original story so it's hard to tell, but i'm guessing he also has old grudges against BJS bc he was so willing to help zhang suan. will prob be revealed soon!

cool theory! I was under the assumption that the child was dead, but then again the several timelines make it a bit confusing, so perhaps there is hope for his life. I also think third party is plausible, or just pure misunderstanding. The trailer shows that BJS shows indifference/lack of care towards having a child, which probably made HRY scared to confess that she was pregnant at the time, thinking he would reject her and the child. The scene on the bed where it looks like he's taking away power from her and she's in terrible pain is probably how the child was hurt unintentionally? Like she would be very weak in a pregnant state, and BJS being in the dark would just continue without stopping for mercy.

im assuming you're talking about the flashback where she stabs him in the heart during the wedding and on the torture stage thingamajig?

ep13/14 trailers are so funny, tables turning with Hua Ruyue being jealous 😆 if Bai Jiusi doesn’t show more loyalty he’ll lose his wife fr

REALLLLL, mdl and douban are crazy in their own ways lol. Douban favors political/suspense/military dramas over romance/fantasy typically, MDL is kind of the opposite. Rating bombs are a similarity tho 🙂‍↕️

I would say it's always been "the thing", and the trend of original voices in wuxia/xianxia is on the rise. Famous "old time" historical/fantasy cdramas often have a fully dubbed cast (Journey of flower, eternal love, scarlet heart etc.)

you can "infer" from his dialogue and eye contact that he sees someone else in her. that someone else would be his past lover (hua ru yue), who looks exactly like her. more is revealed with the incoming episodes, but gradually we see how he can't let go of the past, thus he desires to find out Li Qing Yue's true identity/history.
