Moonlight Mystique Discussion Post - Ancient Love Poetry and its ties to Moonlight Mystique

We open up, the time is 60,000 years ago.

Ancient Love Poetry

There are four true gods, the most powerful being Xuan Yi. He is the Chief God of Chaos, also known as the "Supreme True God". But the big problem; he kind of goes a bit berserk and ends up imprisoned because, you know, you can't really have an evil guy in charge (not that that seems to be a huge issue for most Xianxias). The three true gods left end up with the goddess Shang Gu as their replacement God of Chaos. But this isn't important for Moonlight Mystique.

The three other true gods include;

  • Bai Jue: God of War with an origin in fire.
  • Zhi Yang: Just a general nice guy, he doesn't really have a title. He's the oldest and therefore takes over from Xuan Yi (the previous God of Chaos) as the general "keep The God Realm running" dude.
  • Tian Qi: The God of Demons - technically, he's a true god, not a demon, but he does refer to himself as a demon every now and then.

This guy, this Tian Qi, he's our guy. He's the important one to our story.

Other than true gods, there are also, well, gods. These are usually immortals (eternals) or demons who ascended to godhood via cultivation. Our girl, our beautiful lady in starry awesomeness, her name is Yue Mi. She is the Goddess of the Stars and Moon (starting to make a connection?).

I'm going to try to avoid being too long-winded.

Long Story Short:

Tian Qi (God of Demons) is in love with Shang Gu (God of Chaos).

*This is not a reciprocated attachment*

Shang Gu (God of Chaos) needs to sacrifice herself to save all the realms. Tian Qi (God of Demons) isn't too excited about this and decides to destroy all the realms except The God Realm (yup).

In the meantime, we have the ever-lovely Yue Mi. Yue Mi (Goddess of the Stars and Moon) is in love with our flawed boy Tian Qi (God of Demons). She always looks out for him. They are super close friends, and she has to deal with him talking about how lonely he is because NO ONE LOVES HIM (Sigh, again).

When a sucky character tries to kill Tian Qi (God of Demons), it's Yue Mi (Goddess of the Stars and Moon) who steps in front of the arrow. She dies, and he is left all alone. He's left finally noticing the love he lost.

PS: When our Moonlight Mystique characters refer to the war 60,000 years ago. This is it.

Now

Don't ask me how, but.

Tian Qi (God of Demons) turns into our boy Fan Yue (Ao Rui Peng). I'm assuming the flashbacks to his childhood might hold some clues, but I don't know if this will be explained in Moonlight Mystique. He also loses all his memories from Ancient Love Poetry.

Bai Shuo (Bai Lu) is the mortal reincarnation of Yue Mi (Goddess of the Stars and Moon). Again, do not ask me how. Apparently, she was killed by a "god-killing arrow".

That's it. Here we are. I'm off to watch, and then recap Moonlight Mystique episodes 8 and 9.

Peace!
