Honestly, I feel for Zhen Yu.

Dude is 60,000 years old and is surrounded exclusively by incompetent twenty-somethings.

In his shoes, who wouldn't turn evil in the pursuit of getting to talk to someone their own age???

"My name is Bai Shuo. I'm your... lover." What if Bai Shuo and Fan Yue were never interrupted by assassins during episode 11?

A Moonlight Mystique Theory - Bai Shuo's Immortal Saviour

Let’s breakdown young Bai Shuo’s rescue at the start of episode 1. At the time of writing I have watched up to episode 15, but I’ll try to keep the spoilers minimal past episode 1.

First off, we’ll start with the obvious question which has an obvious answer.

Who rescued Bai Shuo? Fan Yue.

We have several pieces of evidence for this and the show isn’t exactly trying to be sneaky here. Aside from his appearance and voice, we also have the ‘bright moon’ and the whip.

However, this leaves us with several questions:

What’s the deal with Fan Yue’s powers?

Why doesn’t Fan Yue remember Bai Shuo?

Why is the pendant in the Lunar Hidden Sea?

I’ll explain the questions in a moment but first I need to introduce my theory: time travel.

According to my theory, Bai Shuo's rescuer is a Fan Yue from the future.

My main piece of evidence is Fan Yue’s powers – especially his eyes and the glowing mark we see on his forehead.

Look familiar? It’s the same mark and the same shimmering eyes we see whenever Bai Shuo channels the divine power from the Contemplation Stone. We know for a fact that Fan Yue isn’t able to channel these powers himself by the time we meet him properly in episode 1, so this must be from later in the timeline.

Additionally, the Fan Yue that rescues the sisters has the power to revive the dead -  a power that is specifically noted as being a power bestowed by the Contemplation Stone.

So, if this a Fan Yue from after he met Bai Shuo, why doesn’t he recognise her?

I strongly suspect that this future Fan Yue has somehow lost his memories. Which, without giving too much away, is a theme that’s established multiple times in the show, particularly when it comes to Fan Yue.

However, even without his memories, he clearly instinctually recognises Bai Shuo. Otherwise who else could he be referring to with this line?

This also explains how the pendant can be with the immortal in the Lunar Hidden Sea – it hasn’t left yet.

I suspect that Bai Shuo and Fan Yue will be gifted the pendant by the immortal trapped in the Lunar Hidden Sea after Bai Shuo manages to cultivate all five Contemplations and unlock the full power of the Contemplation Stone.

However, in the process (or afterwards) Fan Yue will be forced to take possession of the Contemplation Stone (and its powers) and lose his memories. This is almost certainly connected to the following line:

Did Fan Yue do something terrible that requires atonement via eternal damnation?

We don’t know the limits of divine power, but given it includes resurrection, it doesn’t seem unreasonable that it also includes time travel. He is then left adrift through time which puts him into a position to rescue young Bai Shuo – either by circumstance or by design.

I’m not sure where the future Fan Yue goes from here. But if I’m right, we will hopefully find out during the show. And fingers crossed it involved Bai Shuo and Fan Yue getting the happy ending we’re all craving.

Thanks for reading!
