Zhuo Qings Voice Is So Relaxing

Zhuo Qing’s voice is so relaxing

-Lei Wujie calls Lei Yunhe his martial uncle, so I’m guessing that he and Lei Mengsha aren’t directly brothers.

-Yeah, I think deities are just really high-level martial artists. It’s probably more of a social construct, since Jin Xuan and Su Changhe are two of the strongest in the world but choose not to partake in rankings and labels. I can think of more than five deities, so I don’t think there’s a limit.

-Regarding mothers, I’ve noticed this too. It’s like the opposite of the Pokémon world 😹 I know that Xiao Se’s mother died when he was young, while Li Hanyi and Lei Wujie’s, Li Xinyue, died more recently. Consort Xuan, Prince Chi and Wuxin’s mother, is very much alive, though.

-I mean, Mo Yi is definitely obsessed. As for his specific feelings, I agree that guilt and familial love probably play the largest role, as well as denial/not accepting her death. Mo Yi is pretty unsettling though, and it is possible to read him as having other feelings for her. It’s very much open to interpretation.

As a side note, I loved how the donghua handled Mo Yi, especially in developing his relationship with Qi Tianchen, and it’s probably my favorite version of the character. I ended up liking his live-action actor in Love and Redemption, but wasn’t a huge fan of how he was handled in the Blood of Youth, and after reading the novel and watching the donghua, I thought he might have been miscast, but I found a photo of him on Weibo having his makeup done for a different show, and I honestly think he could have been a decent Mo Yi if he had been costumed more accurately to the novel.

Appearance is a fairly notable aspect of this character, namely the contrast between his age and hair with the rest of how he looks, so I don’t know why they would change it (other than the fact that there’s so many other characters with white hair, but that’s one of the fun parts about the world). It definitely affects the vibe of the character.

so some more questions:

-is Lei Yunhe the brother of Lei Mengsha? Does that mean he's Lei Wujie and Li Hanyi's uncle?

-What are the deities? How does one become one? Is there only 5 at a time?

-Why are all the moms dead?

-Was Mo Yi in love with his sister? The Donghua shows them really really close on an abnormal level.

I don’t feel like we know all that much about the Lei clan? I know Lei Mengsha leaves to go find glory in the capital (or something - we might learn more about it in the prequel 🤞) so anyway follow your heart

I think ‘deity’ is just a very high level or martial arts, but I’ll be honest they info dumped that very early on in the show when I was too busy trying to work out people’s names and I didn’t actually go back to it. I don’t think there’s a limit to the number technically but I don’t think many people would be able to get that powerful

I DONT KNOW I WOULD LIKE THEM TO NOT BE. Maybe some of them just ran away from all the bullshit. Maybe some of them are just chilling. I can dream

I don’t… think so? I think it’s more of a familia love + massive guilt complex? But also yeah I don’t know what’s happening in the donghua

A collection of Yan Bietian posters! 😼

(no relation to Wrathful Sword Deity Yan Zhantian, different Yan)

I liked his character in the donghua, and he’s quite fun to watch in the live-action. Very interesting design, and of course I’m loving the facial expressions. I sort of shipped him with the fellow with the white eyebrow in the donghua, but I understand cutting him to give Yan Bietian and his sister more focus.
