The Road to Splendor Episode 5

Adapting to new life

A tough time for Tingyun. She had to learn a completely different lifestyle, and luckily by the second half of the episode she already managed to pick up a thing or two from Ling. And how could she not? Ling was injured because of her, Sen ran to another city to look for medicine... At least they found shelter in that temple, and coincidentally enough, it was occupied by the real Imperial Envoy and his guards. 🤨I did find it funny how those guards just watched Ling aura farming until he couldn't anymore, and the guards finally interfered... AND thank God they did, actually! Because DAMN, even though I knew Ling has protagonist plot armour, I really thought for a second the bandits killed him! 🫣😮‍💨🙏 (yeah, trauma from that other drama is still there) Her choosing to use the Imperial Envoy and help him with the investigation to gain some benefit out of it? I think that was a quite smart move. And even if there's a possibility that it might not work the way she hopes it would, it's still better atm when Ling is injured, needs medicine, and they are starving. 😌I am giggling a little that they are now pretending to be fiancés, replaying in my mind those few moments we got with them in the shed — the ear scene, them whispering to each other so close... Nice! 🤭😏 The relationships in the Yu family will be interesting to see, because I sense there might soon rise some tension, especially from the pressure Madam Yu will put on the newlyweds. 🤨😬
