Welp, I've linked this thread in the relevant discussion channel on volare Discord, here's to hoping someone comes soon~
Welp! I've been summoned by senpai Ruyi! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here are the spoilers About the ML/MC's characters: Spoiler They are basically friends that meet after the MC transmigrates, and they slowly get attracted to each other after the ML saves the MC a couple of times, and yes, they do eventually get together. About whether the MC went back to her old body: Spoiler The short answer is...no. and that is exactly what Phantom was hiding from her. About the Guqin.... Spoiler The guy telling her is indeed suspicious About loves... Spoiler The love triangle would be between Jiang Moyin, Feng Luodi, and Situ Muye (General). It's a pretty sad love triangle...
HUGE SPOILER (HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SPOILER) Spoiler Basically, Phantom lied to her that she had transmigrated into this world when she hadn't; she had been reborn into the world. For personal reasons, Phantom wanted to save her, but this was the only way he knew how to. She is unable to go back to her own world because her body in the other world is already dead! The Guqin and all are just part of Phantom's plan such that she wouldn't be able to leave this world behind, and give up hopes of going back to her own world. She would be able to start over again in this world, and that was what Phantom wanted to do for her: give her another chance at life.
Wait, what? Why is it sad? Spoil it so my heart can be prepared. Huh? Who is Phantom? why care so much for the MC?
Spoiler Jiang Moyin loves Feng Luodi as well (evidently), but she always treats him as a 'brother'. It is sad because...she never got to know his feelings for her even till the day he died. Phantom had been helped by the MC when he went to her world to carry out missions, and he has watched over the MC ever since. When she died, he wanted to give her a new life but he knew that she would not accept it. Hence, the missions were just a ruse in an attempt to let her get used to her life in the new world and/or spend so much time getting the Guqin that she never actually completes the mission, such that she may never return (This is the explanation that Feng Luodi would have believed herself, as she wasn't told that it's all a ruse and that she can never go back.)
So lemme get this straight, the ML is the general? That Situ guy? Tsk tsk...unrequited love sure hurts. Jiang Moyin died of what reason? Old age? And did the FL know that everything was just a ruse by Phantom?
WHAT?? DEAD?? WHYY??? Honestly, I adore JMY more than Situ guy because MC's relationship with him is gradually, not abrupt like ''oh my it's attraction at the first sight" with Situ guy. Plus like a comment in volare said, the relationship between MC and Situ guy look kinda forced and not a smooth one like with JMY. If JMY dead, I will go to the grave with him.
MY HEART. Jiang Moyin is too sweet to suffer like this. And she doesn't even know his unrequited love until the end ? So unfair. Situ has to give me good reasons to be the ML. I will not accept him if he isn't half as good as JMY. Or let me transmigrate into the novel and snatch the second male lead.
(Side note that @littlebigwhale is actually the translator for TOMAS so uh....say hello, guys! ^-^) Hahah, ofc that's because the second ML is for the readers, while the first one goes to the female lead!
Hello @littlebigwhale No..no.. I believe it's because the second male lead is for us readers to mourning, while male lead is for us readers to cursing because no matter how much cool and perfect them all, one is dead (or lead a tragic life) while other is never be ours.
what's going on at home? will her father abuse her mother? and why is he so opposed to situ? is it coz situ's father fought with him for his first wife or something?
Well, I am disappointed after reading the spoilers. You could guess the ending as soon as you finish reading the prologue. Why the author created this ruse? it's pointless, it is just another reincarnation novel where the MC get used to live in the past. One of the thing that could distinguish this novel from similar transmigration novel was how the guqins interweave into the story giving it more depth and scope. I feel I am betrayed by the author, I was expecting much more
Thanks for the spoilers, but I would really like to know why Chamberlain Feng (MC's dad) wants MC to stay away from ML? Please.
