Megumi-H:
Based on the direction, I do agree that the blood bath is inevitable and I foresee lots of death and maybe only Gong Ziyu is the sole survival. I felt YWS, SGQ, the brothers and Jin Fan will be sacrificed,
However I was a bit surprised at the revelation ep yesterday, as since YWS has always been portrayed as composed and calculated in her choices she made, this direct facing Elder Yue and letting GZY discovered her identity blatantly just seems so convenient.
I think that would crush everyone because I think current viewer expectation is that the Four Funerals and a Wedding ending is a Happy Ending! Like everyone else can die but as long as the main CP lives its all good!??
I think YWS had very little expectation she would come out of this alive. She just desperately wanted to find out what happened to YQ. And GZY already showed her he was in love with her and willing to protect her from his family regardless. So I think it was low risk high return decision for her considering her objectives.
