"Myth" Revisited: Yi Xiaochuan's Three Betrayals, Unraveling the Mystery of Gaoyao's Thousand-Year ResentmentWhen we look at the classic "Myth" again, we can't help but be shocked by the characters and emotional entanglements in it.
In particular, the complex relationship between Yi Xiaochuan, Xiaoyue and Gao Yao is even more thought-provoking.
In this drama, Yi Xiaochuan's feelings for Xiaoyue never seem to be as she wished, and she treats each other sincerely. Although Satsuki loves and protects Yi Xiaochuan with all her heart, in his heart, she never seems to occupy an important place.
This emotional dislocation not only made Satsuki miserable, but also made her brother Gao Yao resentful. Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan, the two traveled to the Qin Dynasty together, but they encountered completely different fates.
With the aura of the protagonist, Yi Xiaochuan got acquainted with heroes such as Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and became entangled with beauties such as Lu Pheasant, Lu Su, and Yushu.
Gao Yao, on the other hand, suffered humiliation, from slave to eunuch, and went through hardships.
Every time he counterattacked, he relied on his own efforts and wisdom, in order not to be bullied again, in order to stand side by side with Yi Xiaochuan.
However, Yi Xiaochuan was indifferent to what happened to Gao Yao. When he learned that Gao Yao had been purified, he did not show half of his distress and guilt. Even when Gao wanted to expose Liu Bang's conspiracy, Yi Xiaochuan was suspicious at first, and then persuaded Gao to be generous. This disregard and distrust of his brother undoubtedly deepened the resentment in Gao Yao's heart.
Gao Yao's resentment towards Yi Xiaochuan seems to be caused by a woman on the surface, but it is actually a cold and ruthless response to Yi Xiaochuan.
He sincerely regarded Yi Xiaochuan as a brother and family, but he was treated like this.
This emotional gap and betrayal made the resentment in Gao Yao's heart snowball, and finally formed a thousand-year-old resentment.
The drama "Myth" not only shows the grandeur of history, but also reveals the complexity and fragility of human nature. The emotional entanglement between Yi Xiaochuan, Xiaoyue and Gao Yao allows us to see the light and darkness of human nature, and also gives us a deeper understanding of emotions and friendship.
I hope that in real life, we can cherish the relatives and friends around us, and don't let them resent us because of our indifference and ruthlessness.
Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan, these two historical figures intertwine a complex grievance and hatred in the time and space they travel.
Yi Xiaochuan's three calculations made Gao Yao's hatred for him last for two thousand years.
The first calculation stemmed from Yi Xiaochuan's emotional handling of Xiaoyue. Satsuki, an ordinary palace maid, was bullied in the palace.
Gao Yao rescued her by accident and found that she looked exactly like his sister Gao Lan. He longs for his sister and decides to protect this woman who has the same face as his sister.
However, the appearance of Yi Xiaochuan broke all this. He fell in love with Xiao Yue at first sight, but in order to get rid of this emotion, he actually introduced Xiao Yue to Xiang Yu, who was doomed to failure.
This kind of behavior is tantamount to pushing a person who truly loves him into the fire pit, just for his own liberation. Gao Yao was furious, he saw through Yi Xiaochuan's hypocrisy and selfishness.
The second calculation was the personal relationship between Yi Xiaochuan and Yushu. After Yi Xiaochuan became Meng Yi, the relationship between Yi Xiaochuan and Zhao Gao deteriorated to the extreme.
When Gao Yao found out that the relationship between Yi Xiaochuan and Yushu was abnormal, he chose to report it without hesitation. However, the coincidence of a dead phone keeps their relationship a secret for the time being.
But the anger in Gao Yao's heart was even stronger, and his hatred for Yi Xiaochuan was even deeper.
These two calculations made Gao Yao's hatred for Yi Xiaochuan like a surging river. He vowed to seek justice for himself and his sister and make Yi Xiaochuan pay. And this grievance and hatred has also left a deep imprint in the time and space traveled.
Xiao Yue, as Yushu's personal palace maid, was summoned by Qin Shi Huang to inquire about the relationship between Yi Xiaochuan and Yushu. She is faced with a difficult choice: admit it, and both will face death;
Otherwise, her brother Gao Yao will also be punished. In a difficult situation, Satsuki chooses to confess her secret love for General Meng Yi as a way to divert Qin Shi Huang's attention. However, this did not appease Qin Shi Huang's anger, and he ordered Satsuki to be punished with a hundred rods.
For a weak woman like Satsuki, a hundred military sticks almost meant the end of life. Gao Yao was distressed, kept pleading, and even pounced on his sister to try to protect her.
And Yi Xiaochuan remained silent from beginning to end, without any moves, just watching coldly.
In the end, under Yushu's intercession, Qin Shi Huang reluctantly spared Xiaoyue's life.
Yi Xiaochuan's indifference to Xiao Yue was chilling, and he even accused Xiao Yue of being selfish, saying that this was her third calculation.
And Yi Xiaochuan himself, although he was ordered by Qin Shi Huang to protect the elixir of immortality, when he was attacked, he chose to hand over the medicine to Li You and stayed behind himself.
In the end, he was stabbed in the heart by a spear, and Li You had no choice but to return to the palace alone.
Qin Shi Huang tried his best to obtain the elixir of immortality. When Li You presented the three pills, he hesitated and didn't dare to take them easily.
So, he decided to find someone to test the medicine, and the woman he loved, Yushu, became the best candidate.
After hearing the news of Yi Xiaochuan's death, Yushu was disheartened, and if the medicine was poisonous, she was willing to go to Huangquan with Yi Xiaochuan. So, she took the elixir without hesitation, and then felt light, and an unprecedented pleasure welled up in her heart.
After Gao Yao saw the miraculous effect of the elixir, he took one of the remaining two pills himself, and gave the other to Satsuki.
While waiting for the elixir of life, Qin Shi Huang finally died of illness. All the concubines were forced to go to the imperial tomb to accompany the burial.
In order to save the dying Yi Xiaochuan, Xiaoyue gave him the last elixir. After Yi Xiaochuan recovered, the first thing he wanted to see was Yushu, completely ignoring Xiaoyue's concern for him.
He even asked Xiao Yue to take the risk to bring a message to Yushu, and because Xiao Yue failed to bring back Yushu, Yi Xiaochuan kept going on a hunger strike.
In the story of "Mythology", when Yi Xiaochuan learned that Yushu was waiting for him in the imperial tomb, the joy in his heart gushed out like a spring.
However, the joy didn't last long, and he quickly turned to Satsuki and asked why he had told him the news so late.
In Yi Xiaochuan's opinion, Xiaoyue's behavior seems too selfish. In fact, the elixir in Satsuki's hand was given to her by Gao.
Gao Yao wholeheartedly hopes that Xiao Yue can live a better life, but Xiao Yue transfers this precious gift to Yi Xiaochuan. Yi Xiaochuan and Yushu both took the elixir of life and were able to stay together for thousands of years. As for Xiaoyue, she only hopes to spend a few short decades with Yi Xiaochuan.
However, Yi Xiaochuan felt that Xiaoyue's dedication to him was not enough, and instead accused her of being selfish. Looking back at the premiere of "Myth", most viewers were attracted by the charm of the protagonists Yi Xiaochuan and Yushu.
However, more than ten years later, we can better appreciate the affectionate h-meaning between Gao Yao and Xiao Yue. They do not hesitate to give everything for the people they love, showing the quality of affection and sexuality.
