it doesn’t stand for the amount of days the story spans, it doesn’t stand for the amount of days jian yi is gone since we know he is gone for 3 years, and it doesn’t stand for any amount of time for a special event in the storyline as far as we know. So to go off to the second part of your question, the meaning behind the title ‘19 days’ is not what most people think. that said, I think the meaning old xian decided to give it is beautiful considering the amount of emotional depth that was put behind it.

old xian didn’t have many, many things planned, I mean the characters didn’t even have names back then ~let alone a band planned lol~ which is the reason why I said ox chose to give it a deeper meaning as time went on, not that it already had one. I bring this up to clarify that old xian didn’t purposely have ‘one day’ written because of a band that was secretly planned from the very beginning. this is also why there may be plotholes + things that don’t make sense at times from the beginning compared to now. old xian has been writing ‘one day’ at the top of 19 days chapters since the very beginning, and as said before, since old xian didn’t have any intention of delving deep into the story, the band is likely not the reason why it was originally written there. It really didn’t have a huge substantial purpose or plot planned out that it does now - something old xian has admitted.

old xian really didn’t have much of a plan for the 19 days story we know currently, it was just supposed to be a bunch of comedy one-shot like shorts of some boys. Well first off, I’d like to clarify that it’s not so much that old xian revealed a hidden meaning of the phrase ‘one day’ that we only just now found out, so much as old xian chose to give it a deeper meaning over time as in this isn’t some sort of huge revelation that was a long time coming or something old xian had planned from the very beginning.
