As the title says, this watch order combines the main story and all the scenes that were cut but released as small clips.

The Mini Theater is a series of clips of Lao Sun and his friends talking about Xiang Yun and Chu Kong like fangirls lol

"They say love is so powerful that it can make death not scary at all." ― Xiang Yun

The captivating notion of "I'll continuously fall in love with you across every universe" is what captivated me about this drama. And its execution certainly didn't disappoint. The portrayal of their characters, former lovers grappling with forgotten pasts, reuniting and rediscovering their love, truly resonated with me.

Xiang Yun, a celestial matchmaker fairy, unexpectedly crossed paths with the enigmatic God of War, Chu Kong. While her initial purpose was to find a match for him, the threads of destiny wove their intricate tapestry, uniting their fates. This union propelled them through numerous lifetimes, which each replete with the trials of their love's journey.

Amidst these trials, they unearthed a poignant revelation: they had been ardent lovers since 30,000 years distant. However, a calamity tore them apart, erasing Chu Kong's memories of their shared existence.

Meanwhile, Xiang Yun transformed into a secluded cloud dwelling deep within the abyss, her primordial spirit rekindling a mere 3000 years past, reborn as a low-status fairy. Through the intricate weave of destiny, theirs paths converged once more, defying the shadows of the past that had clouded their memories and allowing their hearts to once again entwine.

I admire the way their story unfolds across the second and third lifetimes, with one of them losing their memory as an immortal from the heavenly realm. Yet, their love persists undiminished. Mortal Lu Chang Kong, without Chu Kong's memories, remains unforgettable for his sincere affection towards Xiang Yun, which gradually thaws her heart.

Immortal Chu Kong's feelings for Xiang Yun mirror this devotion. Upon returning to the heavenly realm, Xiang Yun recognizes her true feeling first, while Chu Kong grapples with doubt, unsure if his feelings are his own or Lu Chang Kong's. The turning point arrives during the third lifetime when Chu Kong carries his immortal memories. This time, he comprehends his genuine feelings, even ready to sacrifice himself for Xiang Yun's safety.

The fourth lifetime, though brief, exemplifies their unwavering commitment to safeguard each other, even in separation.

Although their memories were hazy, those enduring trials across multiple lifetimes weren't the first chapters of their shared affection. As they unlocked the mystery and decided to uncover events from 30,000 years ago, we glimpsed the origins of their love story.

It was Xiang Yun who had fallen for him at their very first encounter. She as Chang Hai, marked by strength, wit, and playful cunning, was truly admirable. Her pursuit of Chu Kong was a stark contrast to their second lifetime, where their roles reversed. Her relentless efforts to win his heart bore fruit, and together they vowed to grow old as inseparable partners.

Yet, the sad reality was that external calamity cut their journey short. To protect him, she made the ultimate sacrifice, though Chu Kong's protective spell saved her and transformed her into a cloud, rather than obliterating her. Despite betraying her vow, her unwavering love drove her actions, demonstrating her willingness to shield him at any cost. Her sole desire was for Chu Kong's continued existence, even if they couldn't be together.

Their shared memory loss was tragic, yet their hearts remained steadfast. Thus, when they crossed paths once more, 30,000 years later, an innate connection reassured them that they had always been destined for each other.

What I love the most about their relationship is the way they always understand each other and make sure to communicate everything. Even though sometimes Xiang Yun always takes a step forward, since Chu Kong knows her so well, he will be there to accompany her. This kind of trope is not something new, but it's so fresh to watch their characters development every time they pass through their trials. Each time, it made them more mature, more caring, and more understanding, and this also made their love for each other even stronger.

They are really the epitome of I am ready to sacrifice myself as long as the one I love lives well. Whether it's 30.000 years ago, in the mortal world, or after they reunite again, they keep protecting each other at the cost of their own lives.

Watching Chu Kong send his last soul to prevent Xiang Yun from perishing is so sad. He couldn't keep his promise to be with her forever, but he did this because what was important to him was keeping his beloved one alive.

The last line, when he asked her to look around the world so they could meet again, became a sliver of hope for Xiang Yun that one day he really would come back to her side. Whether it's in the past or future, whether it's another lifetime or another timeline, she makes sure to find him again.

If we connected it with the novel ending, we could imagine Xiang Yun going back and forth to find him, collecting every sliver of his soul, and finally being able to meet the one that she has been waiting for. The one who promised her a forever life together.

"Whether it's now or 30,000 years ago, I was fated to find you." ― Chu Kong

"No matter where you are, in the past or in the future. I will find you." ― Xiang Yun

Reunion is not a coincidence, It's the courage with which I came for you.

My love, do you understand? Through endless cycles of life, I exist only for you, I'm not afraid of the twists and turns of destiny, I'm only afraid of losing you in the sea of people.
