Hmm perhaps. My impression is that he was facing her, even though he might not be directly in front of her and the hand seemed stretched out towards her but never touching hers. The two seashells on the other hand, give me the sense of their two worlds on opposing sides of each other, but she is calling out to him and hoping he would come to her and take her hand.

In the novel, the impression I get is that she is in his world, sitting in his seashell, asking him to take her hand and let her be with him, whereas he is looking not at her but into the distance, beyond the crystal.

Yes, one sea shell implies their lovers home and that she wants to be with him in his world.  Two seems to imply she wants him to come rescue her, but are they together?  Has she agreed to share his world?  It doesn't appear to be so.

Hm yes, maybe you guys are right. Perhaps the merman is swimming towards her, but it's hard to tell for sure, tbh. Not what I imagined anyway.

We need them to show us the crystal globe clearly.  But yes, not what I imagined either.

My impression is that she is asking him to come to her world because she is beckoning to him from her smaller seashell. It does not seem to imply that she wanted to share his world...

It's all just our guesswork at the moment based on what is available, including a merman that looks more like a fish and whose face could not even be seen.  Per the script, we will see it again two more times - when he toasts Wen Xiao Liu and Ye Shi Qi's reunion, and during the preparation of the big-bellied doll. Hopefully we get to see it clearly then.

Guys why Xiang Liu says that,the person she likes is not me?? 😭 😭

That part didn't happen in the novel. There was a similar scene at the end of the novel, when XL went to kill the bugs and revive XY, SirBi asked him if him and XY are only friends and XL smiled and told him that the person XY's missing is not him, but  I don't know how to interpret that scene in the drama. From my pov, he said that the person XY likes is not him as to make a point out of how he never allowed XY to like him or reveal his feelings to her, so he should not worry about that. 

When they ask XL to surrender in episode 2, he saying something about last person who surrendered. Also other guy is saying not to surrender. Did anyone know what happens if he surrender? 

does anyone know why Tan Jianci (XL/FFB) is considered a "special starring actor" in the show. Like I understand that Yang Zi gets her own section for starring: Yang Zi then all the other actors are shown after hers, but Tan Jianci is completely separate from Yang Zi's and the other actors. Like if you watch S1 the intro song, and pay attention to the text it will show his name separately

Also why can't I add images, like if I took a ss why can't I post it here why doe it have to be from a link

How many times will this drama break my heart and how many times will I cry

I believe XL was referring to the last envoy sent by someone from Xiyan to try to convince him to surrender, implying that XL had given the order to have that envoy killed for his efforts... so Lirong Chang should think twice before daring to do the same as the previous envoy (i.e., also try to convince XL to surrender).

That makes sense.

I love Xiang Liu .Can someone answer please daes She even loved him once? Or maybe writer wrote something like in the book? Do you know? I feel that Xia yao loved Xiang Liu but never told anyone even herself ?

I think it's heavily implied that she does love him, but because of who they are it can never be spoken because when spoken it becomes reality..making abandonment possible.  XY will never be the first one to say it. In the most recent episode XL asks "who do you want to marry?" and XY said "Ye Shi Qi." Then XL asks "who do you want to spend your life with?" and at this point XY refuses to answer because either her brain is blocking her heart from speaking the truth or she truly doesn't want to admit it cause her love for XL is so hidden. But based on that, it's pretty obvious that she does love XL. To her marrying vs loving someone are 2 different things (she was just about to marry FL), if she wanted to spend her life with Ye Shi Qi then why fight it and not answer?

So I just watch eps 1 so I don't know which part in the drama this dialogue of XL was added. However there is some hints for his word:

In eps 1 inside the casino, XL asked XY who she liked. And she said the only she liked was the one she wanted to spend her live with. 

And there is a footage about their conversation outside the casino (maybe in eps 2) when he left. Someone asked XY who that was. And XY said he was someone who eventually could not accompany her. 

From these 2 hints, may XL lead to such conclusion?

@H19279I

It could be, but it still pretty much depends on how you view things. XY said that the person she likes is the one whom she wants to spend her entire life with and not the one who will spend his entire life with her, if you understand my logic. Obviously she thought of XL, because her question to him is tied to his question to her "if given the chance, would you still chose the same path?" It's true that she did say that it turns out that he was just a passerby in her life, but that was just her stating out loud what XL told her a minute earlier, that her world is ahead of her and he can't accompany her further.
