After Fleeting life wisdom:
TTJ Coming of age day:
TTJ a lil tipsy goes to YXWs courtyard and orders for YXW to be brought to Chaoyang Hall. YXW is put under puppet spell to complete the ritual. YXW goes into the hot spring pool. There are lotuses in it that have a scent complimenting the Puppet spell (like a type of weak aphrodisiac). TTJ appears and goes in as well. Reverse situation of intimate scene in the novel. No actual sex tho, just him saying what she said to MY xD. Then he needs her to read a prayer for him. The ritual is all to pray for his wellbeing. TTJ: “Beg me”. The Gu worm that was given to YXW sometime after the Abyss by Xiao Shan(can detoxify all kinds of poisons) leaves YXW clothes and goes to her in the pool, TTJ doesn’t see it. It makes YXWs mind clear, and the Puppet spell’s duration is already reaching Its end. YXW almost drowns TTJ with lotuses and her cloak xD. YXW: “Your turn, do you want to beg me or not”. (TTJs legs were seen by YXW in the pool, but were curled up and pressed against the pool so she couldn’t see if he had a reaction xD. YXW got closer to TTJ, third warming of the tear. Tear dimming as YXW asks if TTJ likes her. They leave the pool. While leaving the room with the “hostage” TTJ, YXW is shot by a transparent arrow (guessing infused with Weak water). TTJ catches her, and sits with her in his arms while she is unconscious. TTJ places YXW into Weak water. Soul eating flag obtains one Daoist that TTJ used, picked back by TTJ in Mo river. Curved Jade wants to use power to free YXW from the Puppet state, but decides against it as they’d either not be able to go back or Su Su might cease to exist all together. TTJ pucks the Gu worm, another potential jelly moment when he realizes who gave it to YXW (what’s their relationship?), then returns is at it can prevent the Love Fury potion from making YXW experience pain. Curved Jade goes unconscious in the weak water. TTJ picks up YXWs hand and tries to choke himself, moaning and breathing heavily (M appears, TTJ: Lies xD).
Some time after the Coming of age ritual day:
YXWs mind is awoken by Curved Jade, some time after Curved Jade fell unconscious, they are in Changzhou (a town), no TTJ or anyone just Curved Jade and YXW. It is already August in the mortal real. YXW learns that XL defended Yangzhou city against TTJ for a month, but still lost the city and moved to Changzhou. The lady that saved YXW tries to force her to marry her son as a repayment, YXW declines and says the earrings the lady stole from YXW would be her repayment. YXW knocks the lady unconscious by using an illusion made with the help of the world alluring jade. The lady’s son comes, turns out after YXW beats him he is a guard of YBC. She asks him to bring her to YBC. YBC after seeing YXW looking good: “TTJ…. Didn’t torture her.” YXW notices everyone’s gazes – she is TTJs wife, so they both fear her and hate her. YXW notices that YBC seems different after starting to use the heart scale, thus staying vigilant towards YBC. NOTED XL has decided to hide whatever he felt towards SJ in his heart and treat YBC sincerely. NOTED no cultivators will help until TTJs devil god awakens and by the time the immortals start taking measures, it’d be too late, so YXW takes things in her hands as “the Devil God is about to descend”. Tiger demon appears to eat people. XL manages to make it go away. TTJ sent the tiger to kill the old lady and her son (YBCs guard).
XL’s death:
XL meets YXW, that is being scolded by that guards subordinates as if she killed the guard and his mom. YXW says for XL to be vary as her appearance might be a plot of TTJ. YXW agrees to go back to the capital of the Sheng Empire. XL leaves. Just before XL makes preparations to send YXW to the capitals YXW and YBCs dad that was escorting provisions and his part of the army arrive. YXW meets YBC, XL, General Ye (YXW and YBCs dad) and Uncle Ji (Peng in the drama). General Ye orders YBC to leave with YXW. On the way to the border, XL declines taking the heart scale from YBC. Three days after traveling in the carriage (only YBC and YXW are there along with maids), YBC disappears while they take rest near a stream. YXW notices traces of a Python demon by the stream where YBC disappeared. YXW sends ppl to inform XL. YXW finds the Python and YBC – Python about to eat YBC. YXW uses a talisman to burn the Python’s head and distract it and piggybacks YBC, python demon chases them. YXW puts YBC down and makes her hide, while she deals with the demon. Soon after, YBC runs from the hiding spot towards YXW chased by snakes. YXW tells her to use the scale and free herself, YBC complies. A spider demon also attracted by the scale comes, and attacks YXW. YBC is first to see it but remains silent. YXW manages to free herself and asks YBC to use the scale to kill all demons that appeared. YBC declines, as she can’t kill “people”. YXW madly says they ain’t ppl and if YBC can’t kill em, let YXW borrow the scale to kill em. YBC stays silent, so YXW makes her use the scale to at least chase them away. (Reminder: only YXW can fight the demons, YBC basically just stays there frozen doing nothing even tho she has the scale and knows a little about how to use it). YBC messes up awaking the scale, causing the demons to become restless. XL arrives. YXW is taken away by the Python. XL asks YBC to go north with the scale towards Uncle Ji. YBC says:” you are going to save YXW? Don’t leave me behind.”. XL reminds YBC that YXW saved her, so YBC says okay and leaves. While leaving, YBC uses the scale and ‘no demons dare to approach her’. Back to YXW and the python fighting. Curved Jade reminds YXW to draw a talisman, but YXW is unable to move. XL arrives and kills the Python. XL catches YXW that is falling down. XL asks her if she can move, YXW says she has no strength. XL piggybacks YXW. YXW coughs twice and doesn’t respond to Curved Jade calling her. YXW thanks XL for coming to save her. Curved Jade feels fear and relentlessness all of a sudden. In the next moment, YXW stabs a dagger into XLs chest, her eyes soulless and the corners of her mouth curved upwards. Dagger pierces XLs heart and he falls down. Curved Jade tries to wake up YXW. YXW wakes up and realizes she has killed XL. YXW feels fear, falls down and apologizes to XL, crying. Curved Jade tells YXW she was hit by a Puppet spell, but not the weak paper doll spell from the coming of age day, but a real black magic Puppet spell (remember the weak water and YXW unconscious? That’s the moment she fell under it; not even Curved Jade noticed something wrong with YXW, let alone YXW herself). YXW cries her eyes out from sadness and guilt, XL tells her he knows she didn’t do it on purpose. XL has guessed YXW was controlled. With his last breath and strength left, he tells her he won’t die. He asks her to fetch the medicine from his lapel and give it to him, and he won’t die. Curved Jade guesses what is going to happen but remains silent. XL gets a little better and they leave the forest. They go towards Uncle Ji, but some time after they leave towards Uncle Ji, XL stops and asks YXW to go, he will leave later, to not tell anyone what has happened between them but say that he was hurt by the Python. YXW finds out he can’t survive, and he lied to her he won’t die, the medicine was just to prolong his life for a short while. YXW is reluctant to leave XL. He tells YXW that a general should die on the battlefield. YXW starts leaving, XL asks her to spare YBCs life if they are in a conflict in the future. YXW agrees. When YXW is out of XLs sight, he no longer breathes. YXW is in her room, blaming herself. She starts hating TTJ in that moment. Back to TTJ, the red thread on his finger disappears meaning YXW completed her mission, and orders the attack of Changzhou. With the death of XL the fighting spirit of the Sheng Empire will be gone. XL appears on the tower of Changzhou city. His eyes lifeless, but his body as a huge mountain, standing motionless. The pill he ate will transform him into a corpse demon. TTJ restless YXW isn’t back, meaning a part of his plan failed - no one knew she was the one to stab XL. Turns out XL protected YXW, and he charges in the defense of the City. TTJ realizes YXW is never coming back to his side. XL dies in the battlefield, the city falls.
YBC is told XL died. YBC and YXW meet again. YBC notices that YXWs gaze is cold for a moment. YXW tells YBC to head to the Sheng Empire capital. YXW stays, YBC leaves. YXW saves General Ye, and asks him to leave as well. YXW fires an arrow towards TTJ, Curved Jade screams she cannot do that, but YXW controls her power and the arrow pierces the flag right behind TTJ. TTJ shockingly asks, face pale, “She wants me dead?”. YXW disappears after shooting the arrow.
End of war (July- January)
YXW is back to her grandma ‘s side in the capital, General Ye and YXWs eldest brother are on the battlefield. Su Su notices it has been a year since she came back to the mortal world 500 years ago. After arriving at the temple to offer incense, the 9th princess appears (XLs sister or cousin or whatever she was, she hates YXW to the bones). 9th princess tells YXW the Emperor has agreed to the marriage between the 9th princess and TTJ. YXW notes TTJ won’t agree as he wants YBC. Chunk Tao notes YXW is different – she no longer smiles. Killing XL has affected YXW greatly, as far as affecting her heart of Dao (cultivation). She has only two years left to complete her mission, before the Abyss doors open and the world goes in chaos. The Sheng Emperor sends an envoy to ask for peace and ceasing of the war, with all kinds of treasures and offering the 9th princess for a marriage. TTJ sends the head of the envoy back as a ‘gift’. Ye Qingyu dies at Jiayu Pass in December. Another envoy is sent, TTJ sends news he will agree for peace if Sheng Empire gives 10 cities within Jiayu Pass to Zhou Empire, the Ye Family is exiled and YBC marries him. Grandma Ye tells YXW that TTJ wants to piss her off by asking for YBC. YXW is calm, she has expected it. The Sheng Emperor agrees to TTJs conditions for peace. YBC has been in seclusion for 6 months. The Ye family dismisses all servants, preparing for exile in Liuzhou. Ye Xiao is summoned back to the capital. YXW and Grandma Ye meet YBC’s mother. Grandma Ye asks to see YBC. YBC arrives and everyone apart from her, Grandma Ye and YXW are dismissed. Grandma Ye says for all these years she believes she has not mistreated YBC, and asks YBC to plead with TTJ for YXW – whether she marries a commoner, or is an ordinary person doesn’t matter, as long as YXW doesn’t go to Liuzhou for exile. YBC says she will try her best. YXW tho, asks YBC to forget what Grandma Ye just said. YBC says YXW is insensible. YXW retorts she has always been, and if YBC has the heart and ability to plead, YXW asks her to plead for Grandma instead. YBC is silent. YXW and Grandma Ye leave. At the end of January, YBC was conferred as Commandery Princess Zhaohua and left for Zhou Kingdom. A few days later, the Ye family is officially exiled. Sheng Empire becomes a vessel state of Zhou Kingdom. In the exiled family, YBC’s mother was not present, YBC took her to the Zhou Kingdom. YXW doesn’t know if YBC tried and/or failed to plead for Grandma Ye as she was still not exempted from exile. YXW piggybacks Grandma Ye.
Concubine YBC and wedding night (end of JANUARY- March)
YBC arrives in the Zhou Kingdom along with the surrender document. YBC leaves the carriage and bows to TTJ. Then she thinks: ‘The seed of kindness she has planted when she was young had taken root and sprouted, bearing fruit. TTJ wasn’t her first choice, but he ended up being the winner, and standing on top.’ YBC pleads for her mother. TTJ sends YBC to YuFu Palace. On the wedding night, TTJ took the Soul Eating Flag, released the Daoist and asks him to draw a teleportation array. TTJ steps in the array and is teleported where YXW currently is. They meet each other. TTJ tells YXW she is just a prisoner and he will give her one last chance – beg him and she won’t have to go to Liuzhou. YXW puts Grandma down and asks TTJ to come talk to the side. When they are away from the Ye family, YXW asks TTJ how does he want to be begged. TTJ froze, doubting he heard right. YXW tells him she has lost and offers if he let’s grandma off and finds a place to treat her illness, she can beg him however he wants – kneel, kowtow, beg. TTJ says YXW thinks too highly of herself. She turns to leave, but TTJ pulls her hand and tells her he is considering. Then he says if YXW isn’t obedient, he will kill Grandma Ye. YXW nods. TTJ asks her to go to Zhou Kingdom with him as a slave or maidservant. The Tear starts feeling hot. YXW agrees. YXW tells Grandma what she has agreed with TTJ, but Grandma refuses. Then YXW whispers that TTJ is not forcing her, but exchanging terms with her, at which Grandma agrees. The Daoist makes another teleportation array and everyone steps in it. They arrive at Zhou Kingdom. YXW leaves Grandma to Nian Muning ( Baiyu’s sister) and is told that she should clean herself up and go to Chengqian Hall. At Chengqian Hall YXW enters being told TTJ is already asleep. Situation from year ago is reversed – TTJ sleeps on the bed, she sleeps on the floor. She closes her eyes, but is suddenly jerked from the sound of a whip. She rolls her body to dodge. TTJ asks her if she knows how to be a maidservant. The Tear is burning. She thinks it is because he is angry she completely ignored him as she went in. YXW asks if he needs help changing his clothes. TTJ is silent, but opens his arms after a while. YXW removed TTJs clothes roughly as if she was plucking chicken feathers (LOL). When he is left In his underwear, YXWs nails scrap across his chests. She apologizes. He asks her to refer as This Maidservant when she speaks to him. YXW complies and asks if he wants THIS MAIDSERVANT to REMOVE HIS PANTS. He tells her to get out. As she was about to leave, TTJ grabs her hand and says she is still mad at him and still holds a grudge over XL, and she wants to kill him because of it. When he finished saying this, his hand gripping her tightened. YXW turns around and confirms. YXW says that XL was a good person, and if he was going to die, he should die on the battlefield not because of tricks. TTJ says there would never be enough tricks at war. YXW laughs and says XL said the same, so there is nothing to feel troubled about.. She asks TTJ to let her go, didn’t he order her to leave. TTJ lets go. YXW opens the door and sees the Tiger Demon infront of it. YXW grasps and plucks 2 tiger whiskers, then closes the door and goes towards TTJ. He asks her coldly why is she back and didn’t she leave. YXW ignores him, pulls the curtains of the bed, leans closer to his face and tied him up (TTJ at that moment is a sight to see LMAO) TTJ, just about to angrily call for people, gets his mouth covered by YXWs hand. She is flat out laying on his body, propping her chin on her other hand. YXW tells TTJ that if he speaks she will knock him out, sleep now or let her beat him up first then sleep. TTJ doesn’t speak for a while. YXW was furious inside at the mention of XL, and because she cannot kill TTJ she instead pinches his waist hard. TTJ wants to move, but can’t so he curled his body, his neck red, and it is hard to endure. Seeing him in this state, YXWs anger is almost gone. But YXW notes he doesn’t look in much pain…
In a meeting between MingHan and YXW, YBC gets herself hurt intentionally, making it seem like YXW hurt her. TTJ stays in her room taking care of her wounds, and she is conferred the Tilte Madam (directly after empress).
Divine nails (Spring - Early Summer)
TTJ agrees to make YXW the Empress, on the festival where he shoots people out of anger YXW dissapeared again. 3 nails appear. TTJ embroders YXWs wedding veil. TTJ kills minister that opposes him making YXW the Empress. One day before the wedding, YBC tells YXW her grandma is in MingHan's hands, so YXW teleports to his location. While she is talking with MingHan, 3 nails appear as TTJ is angry she disappeared again. TTJ uses the silver butterfly to show the location of YXW and he goes there. When MingHan strikes with the wasps to kill YXW, TTJ saves her. In this moment they are on the ground and TTJ is hugging her, all 9 nails are present. YXW inserts them 3 by 3 in TTJs heart. The last 3 break due to the heart scale. TTJ is angry at her, and locks her in the cold dungeon.
Jailed in Cold Palace (Summer - beginning of November).
YXW is in the cold palace for 6 months. TTJ tortures her, rapes her (not once), and she gradually loses her sight due to using the Alluring jade. When she is almost blind, she begs TTJ for the Longivety flower (type of medical herb that can cure you no matter what you suffer from) he got as a gift from a neighbouring country, but he ends up giving it to YBC. YXW loses hope she can change TTJ. She is reminded of SJ and MYs divine marrow, and starts collecting Yin Energy so she can summon the tribulation thunder on Yin day Yin Month. TTJ puts Niwa bracelet on YXWs hand - if they are separated, both will die in 7 days. The bracelet can also protect its wearer, and find their soul if they die.
Tower (November):
After collecting enough Yin energy, Yin day Yin Month is approaching. YXW uses the Alluring jade to teleport to the Tower that is also a place full of yin energy. YXW arrives and sees YBC plotting with MingHan. Minghan takes them both hostages. TTJ learns YXW disappeared again, and using the butterfly goes to where she is in 2 days, when the normal time taken for that distance is 3 days. He sees YXW and YBC on the tower, held hostages. MingHan says only one can survive, the other will accompany him as he dies(a sort of alive maid that is taken and locked with the corpse in the mausoleum). MingHan asks who shall TTJ choose. TTJ had the Soul Eating flag close to MH, confident he can save both. TTJ out of spite choses YBC, wanting to make YXW angry, but contrary YXW smiles. In that moment, she lost the last tiny straw of hope she had. In that moment he had an ominous feeling. MH slashes towards YXW, but the Flag sucks his soul. In that moment thunders started ramming the sky. YXW was at the highest point of the tower already. He screamed for her to step away from there. Thunder clouds gathered above YXW that now has purple eyes. Curved Jade starts floating around her. BC orders the XLs Guards to kill YXW, but YXW grabs YBCs throat through the air. XW tells her mayflies are cleaner than YBC and shoots small purple thunders from her fingertip - YBCs meridians are ruptured and she falls on the floor. YXW puts the thunders into Curved Jade, and summons the Alluring Jade. When TTJ sees it, he figures out the eye thing. He screams for her to stop. "TTJ. I am sorry for the 6 nails. Even if it's karma, I have paid you back with my eye. I'll take away the evil bones and give you divine marrow. We've long since not owed anything to each other. Treat everything in the past as ill-fated relationship. I only wish from now and forever, even in the endless darkness, there is no you." She overused Alluring jade to make fake Divine essence, used curved Jade to make it divine, and put it in TTJ. She falls from the tower. TTJ is powerless.
YBCs plots:
1. YBC makes it seem YXW can control the Hidden Dragon Guards, by using the moment YXW is not in her room to summon Guards to "rescue her".
2. In a meeting between MingHan and YXW, BC hurts herself. While YXW is defending herself, YBC controls the silver ring and hurts herself at the exact moment YXW is defending herself, making it seem like YXW hurt her, heart protection scale saves her from fatal danger. YBC gives the heart protection scale to TTJ at some point afterwards
3. . One day before the wedding day, YBC tells YXW that Grandma Ye is in MingHan's hands and tells her the place he is at. She also lies to MingHan that YXW has the token to control the Hidden Dragon Guards of XL. She hopes MingHan kills YXW, but TTJ goes after YXW after she dissapeared, ruining YBCs plans. .
4. YBC plots and takes the Fongivity flower that TTJ was considering giving to the blind YXW in the cold palace.
5. YBC plots with MingHan on the tower. She asks him to pretend to take her as a hostage and when TTJ arrives, to ask him to exchange her for YXW. In her plan, MingHan who cannot survive, will jump down the tower with YXW.
6. After YXW ruins her previous plan, and MingHan is killed, YBC orders the Guards to attack YXW, "only if she dies... if she dies now, then everything will be mine. She stole everything from me, just as how SJ stole everything that rightfully belonged to TH, as long as she dies...".
Aftermath:
Ye xi wu dies on that tower, by the thunder and the overusing of the alluring jade (her meridians are broken by the blacklash, she literally feels excruciating pain, she falls from the tower and dies on the ground.). TTJ is shocked, he runs towards her in desperation- it all doesnt matter now, the betrayal, if she hated him, if he hated her or loved her, it all didn't matter as long as she was alive! He feels powerless. He collects her body and brings her corpse to Chengqian Hall, where he puts her on his bed, keeping her decayed corpse for 1 month. Everyday he will go to the room and try to make her happy, alas she is dead. YBC is locked in a cave with snakes, TTJ tortures her with them. She ends up dying in less than 2 full years.
Immortal World:
TTJ spent 500 years looking for YXWs soul, he went to the Nethe river(where mortal souls go for reincarnation) to look for her soul, learn of whatever he can in order to bring YXWs soul back, having his body torn by demons. He was found by the master of Xiaoyue Sect, his body was in dire state - bones were showing litterally from the wounds he had suffered. Xiaoyao sect master brings TTJ to Xiaoyao sect, heals him and teaches him to cultivate immortal arts. That is 2 years before he meets LSS.
LSS and TTJ meeting and when they come to know who was who 500 years ago:
LSS after coming back to the immortal world and finding out her cultivation is a whole stage down, is told by her sect father that she went through Nirvana. She is told to practice the Ruthless Dao as her phoenix blood has been awakened in the process of Nirvana. LSS agrees in order to still her heart and forget everything from 500 years ago. LSS meets TTJ after an immortal competition. No one knows how she looks as she has a half face veil and has casted a spell on it to distort her real appearence. TTJ wants the soul lamp to find YXWs soul and he wins the competition. LSS sees him and recognises him, at the meeting/banquet after the competition. She is certain he is the same TTJ after going for experience in the secret realm of Cangyuan. There, Yuya is wounded by TTJ, and LSS is angry.
TTJ comes to know she is YXW in two stages: when they go towards that same secret realm/space, her veil falls and he sees the goddess statue from his childhood. He then doubts how can the statue and her look the same. First doubts are slowly awaken, but he continues on his mission to aquire her fairy body. 2nd one is while they are in the secret realm of Cangyuan. He wants to kill her and take her fairy body as a vessel for YXWs soul, but while LSS is about to fall down the cliff in that space, wounded by vines of a demon, a fragment of the mirror of the past was present, and he saw a glimpse of her as YXW. He connects 2 and 2, and jumps down, hugs her and they fall down the cliff, him being bit and pierced by the demons and the vines, tightly hugging LSS. She falls unconsious.
Magic Space left by LSS's dad:
When they go down that cliff, TTJ is piggybacking LSS. Her mind is confused, but LSS remembers what Curved Jade has told her about the spirits that eat each other and grow stronger. First time it is hinted how Demon God 1.0 came to existence. LSS notices TTJ carrying her, but she is muddled at the moment. Angry at him for hurting Yuya and her. LSS still thinks TTJ is looking for YBCs soul, and is angry at him for hurting Yuya and her. LSS is resolute in not trusting him again as she died as YXW and has learned a tough lesson. TTJ takes care of the demons with his blood. He puts LSS down and confronts her : "Who are you? You are Ye Xi Wu." He hugs her and whispers "YXW I hate you". In this moment he is reminded of the difference between original YXW and LSS in YXWs body. A sound from an ancient artifact is awaken by LSSs blood and Su Su loses consciousness, her body has a thin layer of ice. Thee blue light from the artifact appears in a second and LSS dissapears. TTJ is restless. After some time fighting with the artefact, TTJ is taken inside as well - he finds a child with the same cinnamon mark on her forehead - LSS is a child and has temporarily lost her memories. LSS hugs him and asks if he is her father, TTJ denies. Then SS asks who is he and TTJ says he is the one that hates her. Little SS says he's talking nonsense when he clearly likes her. TTJ is stupefied "Is it that obvious". TTJ finally understands that it is love he felt not hate towards LSS, he loved her when he didn't have a love thread, and the 500 years he spent looking for her were cuz he loves her, not cuz he hates her and wants to kill her himself. LsS disappears. The artifact tries to bring little Su Su to the magic space left by SS' father, but TTJ appears and summons the God Slaying Crossbow(Red eyes TTJ appears). The artifact is scared and urges SS to use it against the Crossbow, but SS is but a child and is scared. Just as TTJ is about to fire the Crossbow, SS hugs his waist and calms him down. She tells him when she grows up she will protect him, and TTJ is stupefied again. He asks her is she is lying to him, to which Little SS shook her head as a no. The artifact takes them to the magic space and explains to TTJ that she will grow up by 1 year each day, and makes a pact with TTJ - TTJ won't tell her anything about the magic space and the artifact will remain silent about the Crossbow. It also tells TTJ that Di Mian pulled his heart scale and cut his love thread and sent them to the valley Chu Huang was. TTJ finally guesses from where YBC had these two back in the mortal world.
Gong Ye Ji Wu disappearence:
After spending approx 10 days inside, they leave the space and LSS forgets everything that happened inside. She wants to kill TTJ for hurting Yuya. At the same time, it is found out Gong Ye Ji Wu has disappeared. A new Demon King emerged (not to be confused with DG). LSS and TTJ end up looking for him. They separately go to the mortal world to look for the token that opens the Demon space. While in the mortal world, they meet in a city in which children disappear, in the mansion of a whealty mortal whos wife is about to give birth.TTJ since that day in the magic space, no longer wears black, but white clothes. TTJ is calm towards her, trying hard to not bring up everything from 500 years ago. While waiting for the wife to give birth, they meet her 1st born son, who is a little weird, and is looking for his cat. The wife gives birth to a baby full of yin energy but no demons appear, so TTJ, LSS and the senior brother and sister leave the mansion. They come across the father of the kids, taking the baby boy somewhere. While following they see the father offering the baby to a three headed demon. The 1st born son is the one that has the token, he is a demonic kid of some kind. In order to give the token, he asks LSS to go inside a dark cave, and go alone, she agrees. The kid notes LSS is affraid of the darkness, and TTJ is trembling - Why? LSS goes inside. The torture in the cold palace while she is almost completely blind after the nails but before the tower left her with a fear of the darkness she still feels 500 years after. TTJ goes inside as well, and comes to know why she is afraid of the darkness, he hugs her tightly and takes her out of the cave. The kid gives them the token. All 4 enter the Demon World in search of GYJW, TTJ makes a deal with the eldest son that gave them the token - he acquired a pill that can kill whoever SS loves. When they go further into the Demon World, they meet the new Demon King. They find out about the experiments the demons are doing - put a magic pill into cultivators and they will either die or turn into demonic cultivators. Alas, GYJW was implanted with that king of magic pill.
GYJW becomes demonic cultivator:
GYJW awakens as a demonic cultivator, he doesnt remember anything. SS cries, TTJ next to her is jealous- 500 years ago pointed her sword towards him for XL. Now she went all the way to find the token to save GYJW who looked exactly as XL. He felt as a joke. GYJW has retained some of his consciousness and sends the people out. TTJ takes a heavy blow from GYJW. The Heaven Slaying Sword appears. The Xbow is trying to bewitch TTJ. GYJW comes out with the sword. TTJ summons the Xbow. XBow meets the sword. The Xbow is attached to TTJs right hand. TTJ absorbs the attacks of the sword. His devil form almost comes out, but SS confronts him with the artifact. Her feather wounds TTJ, while his arrow is caught in the air by him, not hurting her.
Dramaqueen:This thread is a great idea. Thanks a lot.
Here is another question:
When does Taitai Jin realize that he loves SuSu and not YBC? And do we get a confession scene?
After this dream sequence but before the Tower fall. We do not get a confession due to circumstances and the plots. I would say, as to not spoil other people's experience while watching the drama - Keep an eye for it. It is in the small details and his actions!! :)
Alicetcfwl:After this dream sequence but before the Tower fall. We do not get a confession due to circumstances and the plots. I would say, as to not spoil other people's experience while watching the drama - Keep an eye for it. It is in the small details and his actions!! ?
What about the other way round? When does susu realise she loves tantai jin and she's not saving him just so he doesn't turn into the devil god but actually because she loves him? ? I'm currently on ep8 and it's killing me lol
earlgreytea:What about the other way round? When does susu realise she loves tantai jin and she's not saving him just so he doesn't turn into the devil god but actually because she loves him? ? I'm currently on ep8 and it's killing me lol
Again, after this dream. She finds out she has feelings for him, tho she becomes even more determined to finish her mission. The dream teaches her an important lesson. Keep an eye on it :)
mari1227:When does TTJ find out his wife YXW is really Su Su? In the first episodes, TTJ noticed a change in his wife since Su Su is full of smarts and I guess his wife wasn't too bright. Thank you so much for this great thread l!!
Oh no worries, I am happy to help :).
He doesn't until they meet 500 years in the present time.
samirahAhammed:Can someone tell me about Ming Ye and Sang Jiu story? Like how they ended up ( why they have a tragic ending in the end ) i want know about their story. ?
Sang Jiu dies, and Ming Ye unable to forget her, seals his dragon body (true form) in a dream at the place where once the clam clan lived.... And all this, because of Tian Hian .... all I would say without giving major spoilers. For the how and why, please keep an eye :) after it is out, we can discuss the differences and small details changed from the novel. :)
mparthur:MY's character is so tragic. Living is even worse than being dead. Not forgetting is the worst punishment God has ever invented.
He chose that. He sealed himself to never forget her, forever re living how he met her and how she loved him, how she cared for him, and how she left him. This is really the proposition of entering the dream, he cannot decide for himself. When TTJ woke the dragon form of Ming Ye, it was at it's last straw - does it give in to the dark feeling of regret and become a demon, or does it only forever remember the happy times and continue loving Sang Jiu and staying a God. (At least that is what I felt is his reason behind why he exhibited both immortal and demonic energy when he was woken up)
Samzz:Can someone tell me about Ming Ye and Sang Jiu story? Like how they ended up ( why they have a tragic ending in the end ) i want know about their story. ?
I will tell you that the drama version is different from the novel, they made really dgreat changes in this part while keeping the essence that is heartbreak, regret and his past life. They also fullfilled the reason for the past life but changed how it played out
In the novel sang jiu sees ming ye fighting demons and starts liking him. One day, he gets injured and falls in the mo river and by chances takes the pearl and gets healed. Sang jiu's essence could not replace the pearl but she cleaned the water for 10 years, now every year she needs a treasure from ming ye to keep the water calm and clean.
100 years passed and they did not even see each other again, and there ming ye to cure that ming girl often went and got injured to find a treasure. Sang jiu always knew , he had no place for her. And knows when she wakes up she has to leave.
So she one day, sleeps with him and leaves.
She leaves in a small Hut for 3 years until one day she gets to know ming ye was hurt in a fight and goes to find him. She meets him in a bottom on weak water river harmful for demons but still jumps in and gets him takes care of him and nurses hi for 7 years. He was blind and deaf. One day, he was disappeared from the river and give back to her family to see them dead. And the person who killed them was that ming girl.
She wants revenge so she breaks in the shangiu realmn and hurts her, taking out her essence. And then many other problems and ming ye catching up to her and her not forgiving or even looking at him finally she dies and he goes into a long sleep. Many things happen in between, ming ye did many things for her but it was too late, of not for her family, any person would be very touched but they say once done can never be reversed.
Cuz the reason behind the death of her family was something that actually happened because she saved ming ye and has to pay with so much more. He never really understood her until last minute.
YESMISSA:I have a question: the wedding( spoiler by photo) for the second lead couple happen after the dream part and when they return in mortal realm or in the dream part?? I don't think it's in immortal part
The wedding pitcure is from the wedding that has already taken place in ep 6 i think.
The second lead couple had no connection with each other in dream sequence, like i dont know if they even saw each other.
Also, there main story will be when susu return to her time. That time ybc reborns into mei nu and xiao lin into gonye senior.
Ok to add to cute_daisy's answer: The thing she needs to still the water is the crystal that is inside Ming Ye. On that night she sleeps with Ming Ye, he refuses to give it to her, when he never did so for the previous 100 years. Sang Jiu knew that Tian Huan will wake up and thought Ming Ye will give her the crystal. So in a fit of anger, she drugs him and sleeps with him, she knows he is reluctant and may kill her even before she starts, so she drugs him. As for most of the misunderstandings, Tian Huan is behind them all. When Ming Ye leaves the forest, he knows Sang Jiu took care of him for 7 years and left her a message to wait for him for 7 days in the forest, he will be back. However, Tian Huan burns that message behind Ming Ye's back. So Sang Jiu leaves the forest. When Ming Ye is done with his business, he goes to the forest only to not find Sang Jiu. So he comes to know she went to immortal palace/town and kills whoever is in her way towards Tian Huan. And she dies. So Ming Ye's memories of Sang Jiu and what he did are revealed, he feels regret towards Sang Jiu.
