asphyxia

I hope you understand that she wasn't saying it for him to hear as an actual lecture. At that moment, his chances of living were quite low, so her way of coping / praying for the better was to give a spiel. In short, it was like saying "our grievances make us entangled, and if you die, I'll simply let go". Their love isn't unequal because they choose to express it differently; he openly lied about his reasons for going to heaven, saying it was to abandon her in the mortal realm and free him of any crimes (pinning the guilt on her).

He thought her mortal life for the ten years after would be quite smooth, but he should've thought about how those words would build resentment. She also stayed silent about her pregnancy since she could "tell" that he had no interest in starting a family. Ultimately, they both chose to omit the truth for their respective reasons, yet in the most recent arc, we see them scheming together instead of against each other.

Obviously it doesn't end here, BJS needs to get over the "foolish stage" so they can properly converse/apologize/reconcile, however it's quite evident that BOTH of them search for the truth to help see each other in a better light.

I feel like we're watching different shows? or perhaps the subtitles didn't do they original dialogue justice? When HRY is talking to master Qing Yang, she clearly expresses her turmoil over what to "hold onto or let go". The mix of hatred and love she had for BJS was her motivation for living / driving force behind all her plans after she tragically lost her child. She can put down her sword and lose her will to kill him but still hold onto her pain. Forgiving is not forgetting, and learning the truth only made it more painful for her.

Wouldn't it be unrealistic if after learning about the thunder trial, she ran into his arms and decided to completely forget about her deceased child? None of them "put themselves first", after all HRY was only able to change BJS' attitudes towards mortals after showing him the illusion version of her suffering. Did you happen to miss the newest episodes btw? It was shown that HRY and BJS schemed together against Xiao Jingshan, so her "blaming" Long Yuan was meant to make XJS think he got away. She chose to investigate and seek the truth instead of actually killing Long Yuan, even though he clearly has a reputation for violence and wrath against the Jingyun Sect.

The whole mortal trial arc was to highlight how Ruyue learned to love mortals before Jiusi, and how their real trial was overcoming their worldviews. HRY/BJS final scheme against Jingshan is proof of how they could communicate and put an end to their misunderstandings. Yes, HRY used her powers against BJS' warnings, but is it wrong for an immortal to want to use their power for good? In the same sense, it is not wrong for BJS to want to be the silent shield for HRY, knowing that she can't put down her sympathy for mortal suffering.

Like Qing Yang said, hatred results from love. HRY wouldn't feel betrayed by BJS abandonment if she didn't truly treasure their life in the mortal realm. BJS wouldn't seek answers from the past if he didn't want to reconcile with HRY. It's justified to feel more sympathy for one side, but I find it odd that the show is so close to the finale, and the message happens to fly over some heads. HRY developed such a mortal-loving heart yet saw her own child and her loyal companion die without being able to save them with her powers; this is a pain that cannot be erased. Her misguided hate may dissipate, but problems take time to resolve.

The story would be too "2D" if there were no foils or juxtapositions between the characters, but as a result, it seems to have created some misplaced anger against the characters. As much as I feel hurt for BJS, I will never see HRY as the villain for loving humanity 🫶

fr, drama discussion shouldn’t include slurs or mindless jabber 🫶

I agree! This is too boring; they should have him skewer her organs as revenge and call her a big dumb dumb ! After all, nothing can please a picky audience that can’t see the big picture 😛

pain doesn’t disappear just bc you realize the truth. you can tell that during her conversation with xuan wei, it’s clearly troubling her greatly. this mix of hatred and love has been the driving force behind all her plans of the past few centuries, emotions that can only dissipate slowly. him taking the lightning bolts doesn’t reduce the pain she felt in the mortal realm. she doesn’t wish to kill him and even said “it’s all my fault” during the final battle. her words at his bedside were meant to try to keep him fighting to live. also perhaps ad a spoiler tag 🫶

wait so the age gap is irl but in the drama there's none? can a novel reader pls lmk 🫶

wait now I see why they said the heaven wedding's outfits were their favs, they're so intricate and HRY/BJS are matching perfectly ashkjfukajhiflwahoiwl my heart 😭

it was just for drama promo, same with their recent cover of "唯一"

yes between FL ML slow burn

it's HE

original estimated air time was in july, so they had to quicken production schedules just to push this drama out in june. they need edto finish fine tuning the final episodes

Zhang Suan? and get better as in ? I'm assuming you find him irritating in the beginning, so I think if you already dislike his character, you won't like him in the future. He's honest and helpful to LQY/HRY, he doesn't love bomb her or force an answer on her. He earnestly helps her.

they’ve been editing like crazy just to push the improved version of the drama schedule out, unless he has dementia I dont see why suspicion is needed 🙃 His character is “unique” but he is undeniably heavily involved in the drama’s visiob

based on past episodes, it typically takes a month between filing and airing due to the other prefilmed episodes lined up

So yu zheng explains that the drama will end with a kiss scene 😲

Ty for helping me recall the plot! I meant that I felt pity for the mother who endured pregnancy alone. During those years they were "sealed" or "weak" but still stayed strong 💪

yes when they re both in white

I get what you're saying, perhaps Northward's situation made me kinda sad. MM not hitting 10k didn't upset me as much as Northward's. It did so well on other platforms/viewership measurements, but I still wished that it was more hyped on iQiyi, or at least minimum 9000. It truly felt like a shame 🥲although I know modern dramas have less "heat potential" if they don't market the CP or the romance as much and instead focus on slice of life

rating is up to 8.2 after days of waiting which felt like years .. im hoping for higher 😭 want more people to be enticed by this show

I just realized the last scene they filmed before wrap up was the one of Siling and Dacheng’s first meeting… the expressions were so on point
