... and then the feaher-like caress of his lips on her forehead. It might be an illusion, but the feeling are painfully real.

The intimacy, the yearning, her invitation & consent, the way he pauses just a breath away from her lips and lingers there,never taking his eyes off her, watching her through half-lidded eyes overflowing with unspoken, barely contained love... #VeilOfShadows #TianJiarui #JuJingyi

The tragic foreshadowing...

On the other hand, her invisible moon phase and being the youngest (and the Sect Leader's obvious manipulative favouritism towards her) is what makes her lonely. Their shared loneliness is the reason why she was able to peg him right from the start.

They fall for each other because they see their ever-pervasive, infinite loneliness reflected back from the other person. In a way, they are two sides of the same coin. He keeps himself from the world while she hides from her sisters. #VeilOfShadows #TianJiarui #JuJingyi

He admits he is Ji Ling! In a roundabout way, but he is giving her an inch after watching her sacrifice herself for him and die in his arms. And it's because he wants to not because she tricks him or he slips. #VeilOfShadows #TianJiarui #JuJingyi

You can see how much he secretly wishes for it to be true, for her to love him enough to be willing to die for him.

because he keeps constantly denying that he's Ji Ling and saying he doesn't like her. She can't offer him honesty and show him her heart when he only gives her dishonesty and hides his heart from her.

They are both liars who lie, hiding their affection behind a veil. He asks because he remembers that only a few days ago she claimed she wouldn't die for him. It was a lie back then and just as it is now, but she keeps lying to protect her heart, + #VeilOfShadows

The aftermath of their first kiss - their initial embarrassment, him giddily smiling and retracing her kiss on his lips with his fingers, her noticing it,... #VeilOfShadows

Plus, foxes are smelly and have a strong sense of smell (probably another hint disguised as a MJTY meta).

Moreover, another hint in today's episodes regarding LS's true nature - would a 1,000+ years old deity need to read from a scroll to Li Jie about how the greatest conflict between demons and humans started? No, he would have remembered it, he personally knows WZX.

Wuhuo & Xizai aren't twins nor ape demons?! XZ's original face looks like TJR,plus he used to be blind & carried a doll similar to JL's?! But the dolls are different, XZ'S lacks eyes and doesn't look like a fox, so it's either a different toy or JL/LS altered it. + #VeilOfShadows
