Jul 21, 2021 · Jian Lan knew that she would only be in the way of this, as she was a sex worker and people did not look kindly upon them to begin with. If a heavenly official had a past with a sex worker, they may be disgraced, just based on societal norms. :( So Jian Lan left, before Feng Xin even really made his mind up.

Oct 22, 2023 · Likely, it was also a means to drive suspicion towards Mu Qing who admitted to having met Jian Lan before, but was awfully tight-lipped about his involvement for one reason or another. Since Jun Wu is a master at using people's own pride/ego/character flaws and past against them, especially to put people against each other, this works out very ...

Jun 21, 2020 · Personally I figure Jian Lan ended up in a bad sort of way when she left Feng Xin. Anyone could have done that to her, or she may have even tried to abort the fetus and ended up taking the help of the wrong person (who had other nefarious plans)--with the whole situation resulting in tragedy.

While ling wen and Jian lan cannonly get more parts in the plotline, yushi Huang is sidelined in most part of the story. Her whole story revolves around pei Ming's(understandable, given their history together and one sided crushing moment) she doesn't get …

May 28, 2021 · It's implied that Jun Wu gained some power over Cuo Cuo one way or another. Either he was responsible for what happened to Jian Lan in the first place, or once he found out about them after-the-fact, he was able to do so after realizing that it was all in relation to Feng Xin (and thus by extension, Xie Lian too).

Aug 27, 2022 · In reality, Mu Qing encountered Jian Lan and CuoCuo after all that horrible stuff possibly happened. (Jian Lan has no memory of what actually happened to her, or who did it.) Mu Qing tried to help because he recognized Jian Lan, but CuoCuo is a mental little thing, so it rampaged and bit him, driving him off.

Apr 9, 2021 · Jian Lan knows MQ from before, because FX and MQ worked along side each other. Mu Qing recognized Jian Lan BEFORE FX did, so MQ guessed that Cuo Cuo was FX’s, and he tried to investigate. This is to help FX. The text never says if it was Jun Wu who did that to Jian Lan and Cuo Cuo.

Apr 21, 2021 · It's unclear what happened, and Jian Lan was not willing to share what happened + didn't know the details of what happened exactly herself. It can be assumed that Jun Wu had something to do with it, or that some other nefarious cult group took advantage of her when she and Feng Xin broke up and went their separate ways.

Jul 23, 2021 · I think Jun Wu played a part in, or was even completely responsible for for what happened to Jian Lan, and Cuo Cuo. He was almost certainly aware from the start that Feng Xin was the father, and Cuo Cuo was a useful tool to him right from the beginning of the story. Having Cuo Cuo accuse Mu Qing was part of his plan to try and isolate Xie Lian.

Dec 19, 2021 · Unclear about cuo cuo. Perhaps one day the spirit will move on, but most likely he'll just remain a little gremlin child, and Jian Lan will remain to care for him. Feng Xin fell in love! Maybe it was before his "fear of women" thing? I don't recall him being particularly "afraid" of women back in book 2 but I could be misremembering.
