The Road to Splendor Episode 21

Clueless in love

Omg, they really got me worried for a good bit, but phew, the "Miss Wu becoming Zhao Ling's concubine" plot ended quickly. 😮‍💨 But oh boy, Zhao Ling, what a clueless man you can be when it comes to love! Don't take it all for granted and just show her how much you love her! Love is like a plant — it needs tending to blossom... 🫣😒But I did love that Tingyun has become an inspiration for Miss Wu to make her life better for herself, not through some marriage. I get that is quite a hard concept in those times, but I do like when women can stand on their own without the necessity of a man at their side. I really hope she'll be able to get out of the shackles Madam Wu is keeping her in. 🤞I also know I should sympathise with a woman who isn't loved by her husband like Madam Yu does for Yake, but sorry, I can't... Her own choices have put her in that place, and in this case, she's the one to blame for Jingxiu growing apart from her. I know a big part of that is what happened in Ganlin Town 5 years ago, but he had already noticed before that how different she was from what he expected her to be. 🙄As for Fifth Master Fu... well, I don't like that man at all. He hasn't cared for his daughter at all, really, and now wants to reap the fruits of her being Commander Zhao's fiancée. I really hope Tingyun and Ling will marry even without his blessing, but we'll see how his attempt to spite them turns out. 😒😤P.S. Was that sheep supposed to be alive? It really didn't look very lively. 😅
