The more we go on, the funnier and sweeter…

The more we go on, the funnier and sweeter it gets! PUHAHAHAHAHAAll of his grand gestures (that feels also a little bit romantic) at the moment doesn't really mean that much to him! Even though he is slowly starting to develop something for her... And this is hilarious!He is like "I'll take care of you so damn well, so I can have from you what I want and then kill you as soon as possible" and she is like "Awww~ You are a really sweet person and I truly appreciate all of the things you are doing for me, really... But I'm into another man, sorry!"She's clearly starting to develop some feelings for him as well, though...It is some kind of "enemy to lovers" that I haven't seen before pictured in this way, and I find it so damn fun! PUHAHAHAHAHAOn a more serious note, I really like the fact that Daqiang is slowly rediscovering human feelings and how they work and how powerful they are!Especially since he is connected to such a emotional person like Xiao Lanhua, whose really open and conscious about her feelings.A thing I'm curious about is Lord Changheng and his relationship with Xiao Lanhua.She keeps telling she's just 1.000 years old or something like it, but there's a discrepancy between what she says and what we see from Changheng flashbacks from 5.000 years ago...Really curious about this too! ?

5.0/10 - Orchid just got a little annoying.

So hear me out. Watching Dongfang Qing suffer is hilarious. He spent all that time stupidly collecting the morning dew. I mean what an imbecile put the bowl down to catch the drips and, I don't know, read a book while waiting. Seriously!!! So that's all fun and good. Not to mention hearing Orchid talking about him made him wonder why he should care, but he got to listen to her kind thoughts of him.

However. Orchid doesn't know how to take care of herself? She just keeps buying expensive elixirs that don't work. Maybe even made her sick in the past. Or almost kill her like what happened now. Does she not know she's a Xilan Grass? Is it a lost knowledge thing? Or what? That annoys me. She needs to heal her roots . . . but hasn't bothered in the last 1,000 years to know how . . . or just was too lazy to do the work? I mean we find out the lighting there isn't ideal . . . but still. I find this odd. Then after Dongfang Qing puts all the effort in to healing her she drinks her elixir which poisons her. Would have killed her if Dongfang Qing hadn't been there!

All of that only frustrates me more as we get to see past Orchid with Chang Heng. (And I feel like a moron I didn't realize that was grass on the handkerchief and it represented her!) Orchid of the past is so smooth and cute! I loved the continuing flashback scenes from 500 years ago. It made me so sad for Chang Heng when his older brother AKA the ruler of all chided him for having feelings for someone when Chidi (got it this time!) hasn't been seen. At least he gave him the handkerchief back.

I don't like the trope that clearly Orchid is going to be Chidi or a bit of her or something. At least that's how it's going, especially if it's sticking to the stereotype. They're engaged, but one of them is missing/supposedly died, but now their in love with someone else. That someone else is the reincarnated person they're engaged to. When done right, it can be epic. Yes. We'll see here.

Overall I liked seeing Dongfang Qing crack a little. But I don't like how the last episode and this one it feels like they're trying to make Orchid's character annoying. Cause I like her . . . I don't want to be annoyed. The star moment of this episode is when Dongfang Qing realizes Orchid is lonely. But better. Best! Is when he tries his own cooking and realizes Orchid suffered eating it so she didn't hurt his feelings! Ahhhhhh!
