The dream is a magical illusion that, in some way, represented the past. The events have already happened allowing Mu Jin to be born and come with them into the illusion even though it is this moment that allows him to live.

The courtesan is a disguise, she hide her true face because she was undercover. Her real look is Fu Ling, she had flowers on her dress and face.

I don't know if I skipped the passage so I ask here:
Did we have a storyline regarding SML's parents sparing a snake demon so that she can give birth to her two babies? We even have a flashback to this and I thought it was going to lead to something but I don't remember getting an explanation.

From the moment he takes her virginity "widly" (the novel own words) by force, physically hurts her and continues to rape her regularly, the "feelings" she develops are irrelevant to me and it's not a healthy story or a ML I want see getting what he wants in the end. It's rather a FL who seeks light where she can in the middle of the darkness, even if it means ending up "loving" her abuser.

And I don't like the kind of story that romanticizes that kind of violence.
A man capable of hurting a woman this much does not deserve her love.
A woman who has been so hurt, violated and humiliated does not deserve to end up with her tormentor.
A couple born from so much violence will never be equal.
Plus, I hate the idea a man can act like a bully and only if he develops feelings for his victim will he "change". As if this could erase his wrongs and his vision of women as his plaything.

Just for you know, at the end, Heaven promise to give back to life all the people who died along the way to save the world. Even if they didn't come back before the drama end, we know they'll and the leads are waiting for them. So even if it's a tragedy all along, the characters we love will all have a second chance.

Their night wasn't planned. They argued, he started kissing her, she tried to push him away and then realized she didn't want to and kissed him back, leading to their shared night.
When she woke up and after her servant's revelations, she realized what this night entailed:
- they are not married, she has no status and could still get pregnant;
- she is a foreigner and he is a member of the royal family destined for a grand marriage;
- children of foreign mothers are less well regarded and do not inherit
And so on.
Their situation is complicated and unstable and it is understandable she would make this decision. It is her body, her choice. They are not married and technically, she does not owe him to consult him.
In addition, it is necessary to act quickly to take a contraceptive.
Of course, it is a shock to him and it is understandable he's angry she didn't talked to him about it, but he is clearly naive and irresponsible not to understand the concerns she is expressing to him after.

I'm so glad the drama is different from the novel.
I can't stand stories that glorify rape. In the book, ML kidnaps her and rapes her regularly, even physically hurting her with his force during these forced intercourses.
At least in the drama, everything is consensual. And the ML is even too naive of their surroundings in thinking everything will be fine for them and making promises he will not be able to keep.

Given his surprise when he learned she wanted to take a contraceptive because it wasn't the right time for them to have a child, it is clear he is more than naive and delusional about their situation and the obstacles that surround them.
He loves her and wants her but forgets all politics, customs, conflicts etc...
Personally, I find him selfish and dumb in his way of loving her.

I didn't finished the drama. So thanks for saying we'll have an explanation later (I'm at episode 37).

If Jiang Yuan died 60,000 years ago, how could he save Bai Shuo 10 years ago?
Was a part of his spirit still alive and that's why he was wearing the same medallion as assistant Xing Yue symbolizing that he wasn't completely alive?

Perhaps the lotus girl thought JY had been killed when in fact he wasn't, he had simply been injured enough to fool everyone.
We see that, 60,000 years later, he is still alive. He just lost his innocence.

I'm so afraid the 4 old Lanling Eternals will cause Xi's death because they are stupid, prone to violence and easily manipulated. If she dies because of them, I'll burn down the writers' studio.
I expect Bai Xi to die because:
1) she died as a child and is living on borrowed time;
2) Fu Ling has too much blood on her hands and, one way or another, must atone for it.
But her death must have meaning and she doesn't deserve to die at the hands of these morons.

Yeah, a great acting in that scene. We can feel all the different emotions.

Since the beginning I said the leader of Lanling sect is at his best a incompetent fool, at his worse a big villain.
But I thought he was trying to resurrect Mo Li, not just been a pos arrivist who killed his own people in order to stay in power of a poor sect.
I really hope there's a twist because he's really the worst villain ever and his reasons are so weak, he deserves to root in hell.

Thanks for this wise comment. I'm so emotional right now but your words bring some peace.

I'm so mad for Mu Jin.
I mean, why make him live in the first place if it's for end like that?
Qi and Wu and many people would not have died by the tree if the baby wasn't borned.
So why make all those sacrifices if it's for him to sacrifice himself at such a young age and break his aunt's heart even more?

I think it's clear that Mu Jin is the child of the tragic couple.
However, I wonder if the actions of the characters in Rong Xian's illusion didn't have an impact in reality.
When Bai Shuo explains to the fox clan leader what FY did, saving the baby, she thinks "it was him". Which makes me think that, somehow, the energy put into the illusion to save the fake baby also played out in reality for the real baby. Now the question is how...

Thanks so much for the explanation!
Can't wait to see when we'll have the flashbacks of their past lives in the drama.

Thanks for the link!
It's good to know this drama can be viewed as a standalone.

I didn't watch the original story/prequel (I don't know how to call it).
Can someone explain to me their past lives please?
