Fated Hearts Episode 23

Episode opens with Yi Xiao being bad-ass archer again!

Kinda wish she'd put one of those arrows in Murong'Yao's one good foot, though. Nevertheless she was a total boss, making sure her man safely got out of that deathtrap. Sadly, the episode then shifted to the depraved mess that is the Jingxiu royals and of course, the doomed marriage between Xi Yang and Xia Jingshi. Lots of skippable stuff there. It's too painful to watch that mess and so far nothing really plot-interesting is happening there other than to re-inforce just how messed up they are and the disaster that ML's sister has married into. Then there is a mostly-skippable montage of the ML's memories of his friendship with Murong Yao but thankfully that's followed by a nice scene as Fu Yi Xiao comforts her man. Finally, I absolutely loved the reveal about the Emperor after PM Zhuang went on his crazy rant. I was already suspicious after the Empress' stupid rant so wasn't surprised. Ugh, more disgusting Xia emperor behavior - just how far are they going to take this? We already are disgusted by him. No need to really take it any further, please. Finally, episode closes with Fu Yi Xiao is dressed in red & black, ready for war!
