The First Jasmine Episode 10

What an amazing episode!

Oh, what an amazing episode! I think this was the most action we've gotten so far... right? 🤩⚔️🤨The bed scene was so adorable—him warming her hands and her snuggling up to him, leaving him all blushing and flustered. 🥰😳 And the mother's grave scene was so beautiful—him paying his respects and her introducing her mother to her good husband. Aww... 🤗🥹 Their relationship is so wholesome, caring and heartwarming. 💖However, the sweetness had to end at some point and all the drama elements kicked in, right? 😤 And that takes us to their journey home, where everything just got so extra interesting! 🔥We got bandits—who I don't even know why were there—ambushing the carriage... Could they have been hired by Prince Li to help him "rescue" Ye Li and take her away from Prince Ding? 🤔🤷‍♀️Then we had a lot of running and fighting, leading up to the point where Ye Li met Han Mingxi.... and apparently they've met before? And she even saved his life? 😲 Oh, he'll be our ally for sure, I think. He appeared grateful to her for helping him back then. Mingxi's family was exiled, but only he and his brother survived the journey? And now he's run away from his brother? Their family were the Crown Prince's supporters? Everything links to the fact that he might be someone of importance... I want to learn more of his backstory! 🧐And again there's Prince Li... Jealous of Prince Ding, and he seems cruel in his hidden actions and quite obsessed with Ye Li. 🤬 I bet he even enjoys her being blind so that he can lurk around her... Gaaaah, I want that man gone! I hope Ye Li gets away from him soon, possibly reuniting with Han Mingxi and escaping together? Maybe? 🙏🥺

Goodbyes, ambushes, snakes and rescues

There is an exchange of stories and Ye Li eventually falls asleep. She is gently forehead kissed by a very loving husband. Somewhere along the way her acts of kindness and radiant smile has touched his heart and he is completely smitten. The next morning she gets the promised painting. Xiu Yao pays utmost respect at her mother’s memorial and sees that Ye Li’s life consisted of hardships and that the stories of her mother were not a correct accounting of what took place. He sees the hands of the Marquis in the mistreatment by soldiers and is most likely spurred on to add it to the Marquis’ account of misdeeds. There is a touching farewell from the crew that spent two plus years working on the mural. They have become like a brotherhood sharing their last drink before parting ways. We did not get to see, but Ye Li is a very active drunk getting into all sorts of mischief. She is repeatedly admonished by her angry husband and his spy friend encouraged her to shut him up by kissing him.🤣😂 That stopped the lecture. 😂They leave the temple to be attacked by bandits and the spy thinks a bag of gold will handle it. He is very surprised when it didn’t and the guard is a very capable soldier. It is heartwrenching to see how desolate the prince is at his invalid status. He is reminded how incapable he now is and he is so angry and frustrated. He is grieved that Ye Li ran off to distract the group so that he could stay in hiding. Our humerous assassin shows up but there is a miscalculation and Ye Li does the fall from the cliff.🙄 What is even more annoying than this trope is she is now in Prince Li’s villa. 😝🤬 so the question is…did he happen to be there moaning and run across Ye Li purely by chance? Or, was he instrumental in the attack on the carriage to try to kill Xiu Yao and steal his wife? The would be assassin is the one she rescued and he had already changed course to help her when he miserably failed and caused her fall. Who killed the snakes? And how will Ye Li react when she recognizes who the lord of the villa is? He is spared her wrath as the venom has her temporarily blinded. The assassin is spared when his tattoos verify what clan he is part of. Wait til Prince Li learns his wife is the one that placed the bounty😝 Xiu Yao is in the temple looking at the mouth his wife painted and remembering how beautiful she was on the platform. He has spent every effort to find his wife and the assassin group is surrounded by an angry Prince and guard. Half want to know who she is and the other half where she is. It will be a very interesting encounter the next time the ‘brothers’ meet. The story continues to be fast paced and interesting tho the cliff fall is a letdown for as good as this drama is. They lost cool points for that feeble maneuver. 😝🙄
