  1. Rewatching pillow book because I was feeling so nostalgic the other day:dissapointed_relieved:

     

    i noticed the part where Zheyan is telling Fengjiun about how Donghua used have to deal with the demons coming to challenge and attack him constantly.


    Around 28:10, Zheyan mentions something about the biggest demon of the realms at the time who ended becoming his “subordinate” ( this part I didn’t get because the subtitles say that but what he really said was “ little brother”?)

     

    Now as far as I know the only demon that Donghua actually called a friend in those times was Shaowan.  I like the fact they included that there because I’m sitting here waiting for the other novels to be completed :twerk2:

     

    Also rewatching it and realising how amazing Fengjiu is and devoted to showing her gratitude to Donghua is getting me emotional again. I have to remind myself how much she was tortured and still remained herself. It’s funny how all the other women crumble when they’re rejected by Donghua but Fengjiu doesn’t let her pain affect how she treats others in her life.
     

    Watching the first part of show makes you think Fengjiu is wayy too good for Donghua. The show tries to convince how majestic and perfect Donghua is but Fengjiu is definitely the one to be respect. All that heartbreak she went through and that wasn’t even her heavenly trial.

    SPOILER WARNING FROM VOL TWO OF LOTUS STEP!

     

    Shao Wan is really powerful. If you don't mind spoilers from the end of Vol 2 of Lotus Step, here's what happened:

     

    At the end of Lotus Step Vol 2, Dong Hua sensed the awakening of Zu Ti and headed to Gu Yao Mountain (Zu Ti's home) with Zhong Lin to have a look only to run into an ancient ward set up by Shao Wan. Zhong Lin suggested that perhaps Di Jun could try to force his way through. But Di Jun replied saying that Shao Wan's wards are unrivalled in the world and even for him to force his way through, he would need to expend a very great deal of effort so he said there wasn't a point. 

     

    He told Zhong Lin that for Zu Ti to return and immediately seal Gu Yao Mountains, it must be something important to her. Zhong Lin was worried that Zu Ti can't manage whatever problem she was trying to solve and sealed the mountain off as a solution but Di Jun wasn't hahaha. He said she is after all a Chaos Era Goddess, one from his own generation. LOL @ Zhong Lin for belittling a goddess from the same generation as Di Jun.

     

    Ok tough explanation coming but at this point, my tears started falling. Zu Ti has awakened and returned to Gu Yao Mountain. She then separated her mortal memories of her last life (as Cheng Yu) from her immortal body. The reason why she did so was because she had another divination that she will have to sacrifice herself for another impending world disaster that will lead her to fading and possibly never return. 

     

    As a result she went through a lot of physical pain to break her mortal memories away from her and move it back into a mortal body (Cheng Yu). Zu Ti loves Lian Song very much at this point and decided not to let him bear the pain of her loss in the future. So she decided to take Cheng Yu's memories out of her mind and very bones and create a new soul with all those memories in it and move it into one last mortal body that Xie Ming had created for her. This is to allow the puppet "Cheng Yu" to take her place in loving him for one lifetime so that in the event the prophecy happens, he need not suffer her loss. This was Zu Ti's way of saying goodbye even if it cost her so much pain and suffering to separate those memories. (I bawled at the end of the book, nuff said).   

     

    By this point in the book, Lian Song had gifted Cheng Yu/Zu Ti his reverse scale. Every dragon has only one reverse scale and they give this scale to the person they love. (hint this applies to all dragons in this universe, makes you think of two other couples right?)

     

    When Xue Yi, her envoy (all the remaining 3 woke up when she did) asked her if she must do what she is doing now, she replied: "Being able to do this as a last act of saying goodbye, I am already satisfied, and he will only remember everything that has happened before as a dream. To say the truth, to end everything here is not a bad thing. But I have made a promise, that after the Water Punishment is done, he will come and find me, and take me away to travel the world as vagabonds for the rest of our lives. I... can't keep my promise, but I can give him a Cheng Yu, and let that Cheng Yu fulfill my promise. "

     

    Her envoy is worried that Lian Song will see through the fact that the new "Cheng Yu" is  nothing more than a puppet but she insists he won't. (Trust me in the end he will, and he will try to stop her, I think that's how this story is going in my opinion).

     

    She is planning to regain all her cultivation by going into a deep sleep for quite some time after this as she needs it to handle the impending disaster (I am guessing that this disaster is the big event that will happen at Kun Lun as per what was mentioned in Back to Chaos in a Dream, and since half of Kun Lun sealed the three poisons of mankind, it might have to have something to do with it -> only my conjecture at this point). And knowing that she was going to sacrifice herself later, she decided to do this. 

     

    Her envoy tried to advice her against doing this as he can clearly see that she can't bear to leave Lian song and said that she still had 30,000 years to go before the event happens so why not use the remaining time wisely

     

    But alas, as she is the Goddess of Light, the keeper of time and foresight (the ability to see the future), she needed to sleep longer than a regular god to regain all of her ability and cultivation.  

     

    And she said these heartbreaking words, "My destiny with him can only happen with this Cheng Yu for one lifetime". Then she sighed and continued, "He loves Cheng Yu, so I shall give him his Cheng Yu. This is the last thing I am able to give him."

     

    After that a heartrendering scream and crying shook the entire Gu Yao Mountain (her memories of her love for Lian Song runs right into her very bones so stripping these memories out of her is an extremely painful process). Her envoys describe the scream as one that is filled with pain, hopelessness and dread before everything went silent (She had gone into her deep sleep). 

     

    Sigh, Tang Qi made me weep again. She really loves Lian Song, that much. But we shall see how "puppet Cheng Yu" pans out in volume 3. I am pretty sure Lian Song will figure it out with Dong Hua's help. He might not be able to see through it but another Chaos era God might be able to. 

     

    These ancients and their constant willingness to sacrifice. Dong Hua (almost died to save the world) and Shao Wan ("died" to save humans) were the same. So like them, she is duty bound.

     

    Tang qi is such a amazing storyteller. The novels get better and better!!!!!!!

     Dong Hua would really miss her sense of humour which is very much like his. Even Zhe Yan would happily bicker with her again on who's the eldest phoenix. Anyway Shao Wan, times has changed. Uh, just ask Bai Qian, what she thinks about ages and age differences.

    Her coming back is probably the icing on the cake lol can you imagine her reaction seeing how everythings changed

    Shao Wan is a very intelligent woman as you can see. Squeee! She is also a very brilliant military strategist. She doesn't lose to Di Jun at all. She seems to be a feminine version of Di Jun. She and him appear to be two sides of the same coin. This is exactly why they can be besties. No romantic love between them but totally best of friends.

    I cant wait to see her reaction when she sees DH is not only be a whipped husband but a father too. I can tell SW is gonna bring the humor back into the series. Its so bittersweet how SW got to see DH as a lonely, empty child and now a loving husband, proud father and a good leader.

    For sure there'll be difficulties between her and Mo Yuan. And hmm, whether there'll be a Demon Lord among the seven or another high deity who will challenge her when she comes back in the Southern realm after her very long absence?

    I have a feeling in Bodhi fate series SW might not be as willing to be the demon empress again and maybe with her attatchment to mortals,she might like to explore the mortal realms as she never got see what become of them before she died.

    Be aware that this part of the story might be completely changed. It might not even exist. She said it depends on how this current book ends and when she joins Bodhi Fate to the overall storyline. So I wouldn't take that as bible. I would suggest people treat that book as a blank slate. 

     

    Anything can happen.

    Exactly, I'm basing everything off whats she's confirmed and what's been introduced in the current novels. But..him being engaged does bring in the angst, I mean it wouldn't be that easy to be together again after generations and generations being apart. Tang Qi knows how to make us pull our hair out lol

    It makes you wonder how he reacted upon learning that Shao Wan woke again. After all that time, can you still say his love for her is still as passionate?

    I wouldn't blame him if he did all that he could to keep her to himself. And I thought what yehua had to go through with his dead wife and orphaned child was agony and Donghua being abandoned by Fengjiu for so many years. You could tell how much the time killed them both slowly.

    But 260,000 years?? Once he sees her, he's definetly not letting her go.

    Poor liansong is next up for the heartbreak

    There are some similarities to TMOPB, but once you get to the episodes showing the backstories, the plot is certainly different. The drama's based from an RPG, according to another soompier in the Miss the Dragon thread.

    I like to imagine the ml is the descendant of SW AND MY since he's supposed to be a white dragon lol. And also imagining if Xuan nu had a second chance to redeem herself as a immortal and gets reborn.

    Tang Qi has me thinking about all types of possible scenarios and theories while I wait for the novels to be completely released:dissapointed_relieved: The wait is hard guys

    Shao Wan and Mo Yuan's story should be a fun ride

    I wonder who's gonna be third wheel/second lead in their love triangle. Honestly can't wait for Lotus step and Bodhi fate to completely released, it's going to be so exciting unraveling everyone's past and how they all matured to be the wise ancestors they are currently.

     

    It was interesting to read that extra pillow book novel and learn so much about Dong Hua and what he's gone through without having Feng Jiu there to support him.

     

    BUT most importantly cant wait for Mo Yuan to finally see Shao Wan again, I bet Tang Qi will know exactly how to build the story and then make us cry buckets.

    I don't like how they made Mo Yuan look older in the drama. He actually looks exactly like Ye Hua, not a day older.

    Kind of like that he has facial hair though!. Makes me think Shao Wan comments about him looking like pretty boy got him to change his looks a bit.

    Mo Yuan's Idea of a Joke

     

    Mo Yuan: Dong Hua, I'm bestowing you a title.

    Dong Hua: Oh?

    Mo Yuan: Yes.

     

    :approves:

     

    Imperial Jade High Saint of the Eight Realms, Succor of the World, Saviour of the Suffering, Dong Hua of the Purple Mansion, Emperor Lord of the Young Sun.

    Gracias @Ninky @nitepolaris @SC2019 :foryou:

    :coolshades:Sounds more like Shao Wan probably told Mo Yuan to give Donghua that long title before she died. One last joke between old friends:byebye2:

    Hope that in the later parts of Lotus Steps immortal arc, there will be some hints why Mo Yuan is getting married. ^_^ On whether because he moved on from Shao Wan after more than 260,000, or he has feelings for his bride, or the marriage was fixed for them, we can only speculate as of now.

    I hardly believe MY has any actual feelings towards his bride. Most likely a alliance of some sort.

    It's same way if you said DH developed feelings for Ji heng. Yikes.

    The circumstances were definitely there with DH knowing her longer than FJ, watching and protecting JH her whole life.etc. But obviously the only person who create feelings of romantic love within DH is FJ only.

    The same way I believe even more so for SW and MY since their relationship - unlike DH & FJ- probably has a lot more fate. I would believe it more if MY actually had feelings for BQ than his unnamed bride but thankfully that never happened.:unamused:

    This is not what I understand from what Ninky has explained. Mo Yuan time of being King of Gods was not that peaceful. He  established the new era but did not unit everyone (he left Demon clan out and some gods wanted to be king themselves). It was DH who has united them all in the later wars when MY disappeared. 

    Yes I understand what your saying but my main point was that DH was never intended to the emperor and for good reason too.

    DH didn't "unite" everyone since everyone was still plotting against each other and they continued to do so secretly after DH left the throne.

    He gained the respect of everyone through fear and war which was what father god wanted to avoid for MY up and until his death. 

    If he "united" everyone that war  wouldn't have happened in tmopb etc and things would have been a bit calmer than they turned out to be.

    And if DH truly wanted to unite the realms, he would continued to be the ruler but naturally like anyone else would, he didn't want to spend his entire live saving others. That's where FJ comes in to the story to save him for once in his entire life.

    If MY never met SW and obediently listened his father to rule the realms after him, most likely things would be a lot peaceful than now and DH would have been probably still be in bihai cangling sleeping somewhere peacefully.

    Also, the demon realm at that time had SW has their queen who they all respected so naturally they would follow her. The only reason they broke off the peace when they lost their leader.

    Dong Hua later had to take up the void left behind and had to fight more wars after Mo Yuan. It was in those later wars that Dong Hua truly united the realms and established the current order.

    I kinda feel bad for DH for the fact that he had get in wars that didnt even involve him one bit- since he has no genuine loyalties with anyone. As soon as MY disappeared, all of the scheming immortals felt brave enough to try to finish him off which was a big fail.

    And also did DH really unite everyone? Seems like all he did was kill anyone who tried cause unnecessary wars and then when everyone was too scared to challenge him, he gave the throne to LS dad. The only actual proof of ALL of the races being united was the time of those peace treaties MY signed with other races. 

    I'm not sure if its been explained if Father god actually appoint DH personally to be the emperor or if he had his eye on MY to rule the realms and DH took it upon himself to be the ruler when MY abandoned everything?

    I wish I could have translations!!!Confused Thinking GIF

    The peace they got now didn't last, war broke out again, later on, outside the outtake confines. The demons had regrouped with a new leader.

    It's actually crazy how the peaceful world Mo Yuan and Shao Wan built with actual blood sweat and tears just crumbled away when both of them just disappeared from the realms. Just goes to show you how influential these two both were to all of the realms.

    Shao Wan to the demon realm and many of the other small, insignificant realms - was like a beacon of hope that the other bullied and pushed aside races can finally have the same happiness and prosperity the godly realm has. And Mo Yuan to the heavenly realms is example of how true warrior and leader carries himself both in war and outside war. Both of them are really fated to be together not only for themselves but for the universe. I think it's so romantic!

     

    The fact that someone as extraordinary and powerful as Dong Hua struggled to completely unite the realms and bring the same peace Mo Yuan and Shao Wan did says A LOT about how hard it is to be a actually leader for these tribes.

     

    Speaking of Dong Hua,  I don't think at the time he actually cared enough for any of the realms to give it his all until he met Feng Jiu. I 100% think he wouldn't have tried to sacrifice himself with Miao Luo situation if he hadn't met Feng Jiu. I think the thing that motivated him was that he had nothing to lose and thought Feng Jiu actually wanted nothing to do with him. Tang Qi proves once again love makes these immortals do crazy things.:hypehype:

    I have this fresh appreciation and respect for Shao Wan. She truly is a maverick. She planned out everything so well including how she is going to come back. She actually left no stone unturned. Like getting Zu Ti to help her but also making sure Zu Ti can come back.

    Moyuan's dad - Father god definitely knew Shao Wan was one of a kind. Wouldn't be surprised if he was plotting for them to be together from the beginning and made Shao Wan sit next to Mo Yuan the first day they met.

    Of course the person who makes Mo Yuan fall deeply in love probably has to be special, the same way Fengjiu is described somewhere as too talented for her time. If she was born a lot early, Donghua would have married her a long time ago just like he did in the extra pillow book novel.

    This is correct. At this point, it very late in the Lotus Step story. Zu Ti had already moved in with Lian Song and are clearly a couple.

    And Mo Yuan definitely ditched his bride to be and kidnapped Shao Wan already :wink:

    But we soon see that the love between Dong Feng is time eternal. No matter the time and place, he will always fall in love with her over and over again. 

    It's because Fengjiu is literally the one for Donghua. Even though they were not fated, as long as she exists in the universe, Donghua finally has a home.

    Shao Wan went into slumber after opening the “door” for the human race to what became known as the mortal realm.

    I think after reading a translation of some of extracts of Shao Wan, I can see why Mo Yuan and so many of the ancient celestials have connected relationship with her. For one, she's loyal- which sounds rare for times of war. Also, very brave, more kind than many of the other celestials, sincere- if she like you, shes likes you and vice versa. There's definitely good reason why the demon clan all respect and honour her even to her death.

    3l3w starting to get more complex hahaha so does LS love CY or ZT haha

     

    Spoiler

    Past ZT existed before LS was even born their fate was already set in stone though I think before then they never actually officially met. Also CY is literally ZT with no memories and no powers, but long story short,  LS ended up falling for CY very deeply so they ended up even more entangled before CY could fully awaken as ZT.
