- I actually didn't feel any plot hole regarding ZYZ decision to share his plans with only ZYC and YL. If you can recall, the issue about one of the members from their team being a spy for Chongwu Camp it has not been fully resolved yet, PSJ is highly their suspect for now since BJ was able to escape the suspicion. So, as someone who is a great demon like ZYZ he knows it would be risky. Furthermore, both PSJ and BJ went missing for too long as they were put to sleep by Chongwu camp. Another point is, it is useless to tell WX and BJ (whether ZYZ suspect him or not) as they are much weaker. The only suitable people who can support and 100% is capable of ensuring this plan of his gets executed with success is clearly ZYC and YL alone. One has the cloud sword, the other is a mountain god.

- Li Lun used to dislike it whenever ZYZ would take him to visit the mortal realm. Basing from their conversation during that scene, it seems during those times Li Lun had come to learn what 'freedom' feels like thanks to ZYZ taking him into the mortal realm. So, Li Lun started to hope for freedom and this hope of his grew stronger thus leading to him attacking WX's master because for him, the Baize Goddess and token is a cage that traps demons and restraints demons from their freedom. In short, he just wanted to be a free demon who can roam around in different realms. But, his heart grew deep resentment when ZYZ the only close friend he considered betrayed him by siding with the Baize Goddess and thus leading to him being sealed to his birth place. What he yearns for was freedom but he only got trapped even more and at the worst cage. That is why he has immense hate for both ZYZ and the goddess. He wants to take ZYZ core to bring it to Chongwu Camp this is to satisfy his revengeful self, if ZYZ can side with Baize Goddess then he chooses to do the same thing too by siding with Chongwu camp. If the plan failed I think the drama would end then...

Another thing I'd like to add, Li Lun dislikes humans because of his hatred towards the Baize Goddess who is a human. He feels it is unfair that humans get to dictate about the demons freedom.

The emotions they both delivered during that scene was chefs kiss. The look on his face when he saw Zhu Yan's back. We could clearly see Zhuo Yichen's dilemma with his harsh words being the complete opposite of his actions. It is a scene that hints how ZYC has somewhat softened up towards ZYZ, but at the same time, through his harsh words, it also allowed for ZYZ to have some will to live again for a while, even if it is merely for the sake of repaying him. I didn't see ZYC to be completely cruel, he is definitely prolonging and hesitating on killing him subconsciously.

yes, I like her character despite her being flawed

Li Lun must have possessed iqiyi as he didn't get satisfied by the fact he didn't get to kill ZYZ so he is letting everyone suffer for 2 days straight.

Li Lun be like: I didn't get to kill him, so you don't get to see him *insert evil smile*😈

FOF brain rot is real 🥲

No one has brought it up recently and I think some might not even know about the first poster. I remember that too and seeing how some things was foreshadowed through that poster as you mentioned, I do think that there is a possibility for that theory to be true. Even the current poster now has some spoilers. Which is why I am not expecting any happy ending for this drama.

here is preview link for Ep 18-19 via iqiyi cn

It seems that for the next episodes we are either getting demon Wen Xiao or a demon who imitated her based from the preview.

rough trans of Wen Xiao's dialogue:
"prime minister, pardon my offense...I am Wen Xiao, under the demon hunting bureau...it is because I have something to ask for"

I have no problem with Chen Duling's acting but I must say she definitely slays and shines more in 'evil/dark/demon/villain' roles. Am seated for it.

gjm be playing with us for real! same my only cure is to watch the next eps already...sameee! I believe our grieving will be prolonged 😭

Finally someone said this! I agree with everything you have said. Yes! They will def comeback stronger. *cries* after 2 days 😭

yes! I am hoping too because I would riot if they don't do that

I don't know what other chunk you are looking for as it seems that is the only chunk she was supposed to know at that moment. I think you are forgetting that all these Baize Goddess had been nothing but mere humans with limited powers bestowed upon them. All of them were easily killed all the time to begin with. WX and Shen Nu have both different experiences although yes people died but in WX case, just like in reality when people lose a family or loved one won't you grieve? whereas in contrast to Shen Nu when in real life a random stranger dies will you grieve as intensely as your grieved for losing someone very important in your life?

Anyway, there are still more episodes to go and room for character development.

there's such thing called character development, she'll definitely come to understand him in the end

yes, I definitely sense a tragic ending with one of them dying 😭

if you recalled WX and ZYZ previous conversation before about the blood moon, she already had a clear idea about that important part. Zhu Yan told her that he wasn't himself. So, she wasn't deceived by Li Lun because she already knows the truth which is why in her conversation with PSJ she just said that she can't forgive ZYZ but she doesn't hate him but she hates herself instead. Furthermore, she was clouded by her emotions at the moment as she didn't expect for the person she likes to turn out to be the main culprit behind her masters death. Her reaction was realistic imo. Yeah, it's completely unfair towards ZYZ but handling grief upon the lost of someone important in your life is never easy.

the outro always gets me, they're epic 😂🤣

well, she just saw the truth and that was a piece of her real memory which she finally recovered

but I am definitely digging it, because once they overcome this situation together, their relationship with each other will turn stronger as future episodes go by

Yes! EXACTLY! the humans are definitely the biggest enemy in this drama.

There is surely a lot more behind the malicious energy taking full control of him. I think the blood moon is not the sole reason, there might be more bigger revelations later on. He indeed is a vessel for many years now but something or someone must have affected him to experience this effect.

I agree with everything you have said and same! I also liked how they have reacted towards the current situation they faced. I find it realistic.

This drama is definitely telling us that not all demons are bad. Some of them just want freedom. I am starting to think that the purpose of the whole baize token and goddess has turned into nothing but imprisonment and it is unfair towards the demons. It also contributed to constant prejudice towards them among the mortal world.

Li Lun wanted freedom but he was caged further leading to his resentment and he felt absolute betrayal since Zhu Yan, the one who he considered as a friend sided with the goddess.

It would be interesting to see Wen Xiao gain more knowledge about the demons and maybe, become the first goddess to allow demons to have a choice and discover a new way of protecting the realms without compensating or restraining the freedom of demons.
