HC Ramble, Love in the Clouds Pt. 2
This gaping plothole of Ming Yi & Ji Bozai not realizing Ming Yi is a descendant of the Bo clan, even after her blood-drop opened the barrier, bothers me so much that wanna fill it with a headcannon of my own, ughhhhhh. Not sure, if it actually makes sense, but alas, here goes nothing:
Ming Yi: Our girl has been brainwashed into being Ming Xian, the crown prince of Yaoguang Mountain, their tool, her whole life. To me, it seems that at that point she still wants to return to Yaoguang Mountain and be useful to the empress. If she's actually of the Bo clanline she can't be, so this possibility, even if theoretically the most logical one, seems like blaspehmy and thus she buries that thought, before it can even really form.
Ji Bozai: Babyboy is a bit more tricky. Soooo... what if his master let him believe that she’s the only descendant left of the Bo Clan, to shield and protect Ming Yi or sth along those lines? And Ji Bozai, while also concluding that Ming Yi being a descendant would be the most logical conclusion, at this point still has 200% belief in his master. He’d never even consider that she’d lie/hide sth from him, thus that thought gets thrown away immidiately.
They both (unconsciously?) deny it, until Ming Xin spits the facts into their faces, giving them no other choice than to consider it...
