Sssnoopyyy:
Hahaa he is a ticking bomb and I love it! Baffling how Lao Sang is so dense and cannot see after all these yrs that CX is in love with XY - even Xiao Xiao and Jin Xuan know.
Xinyue is getting unhinged as well, waiting for her to snap and make a move. I guess they sort of glossed over how Xinyue found out that CX is in love with XY because it was mentioned in the novel haha prob cuhs it would be too scandalous to show how it planted a seed in her head (in the novel she hears him saying XY’s name in le bedroom lol)
Omg this video made me LOL https://weibo.com/3042549612/5056531944440961
I saw episodes 10 and 11 today, and you are right: it is interesting how Lao Sang doesn't know CX is in love with XY! Casually mentioning the upcoming possible nuptials for Jing and XY....even better was how CX got her to put back the wedding indefinitely by having her work on the (many) books of healing knowledge that need to be created. OH CX, I am so proud of you, that was so clever! Even better was Jing's face falling yet again when XY thanks him for his support.....for the love of everything, why couldn't Jing say, let's get married, and have a long engagement? He had such a long one with FFYY anyway.....it was the return of the hapless Jing that I don't like. Up to that point I was enjoying him this season, for the first time in the whole drama. So very clever, CX 😂😎
But oh those rumours he spread about XY, to 1) free her from Haoling so he can take it over, and b) get her to Chenrong Mountain where it is now her home forever and forever with him (or until he goes mad), he is very smooth right now.
But can I say, I cried so much during XY's scenes with XL, and later GeGe, talking about her father? Both Tan Jianci and ZWY brought their A-game to those scenes, along with YZ. Buckets of tears for all of them. It wasn't Niagara Falls here, but it felt like it 😭
And ooh Xinyue - when she heard the news about XY not being a princess - that loathing she has for her sister-in-law - you are right, Sssnoopyyy, she is getting unhinged too.
I also liked how CX protected her in his court when the minister all wanted her thrown out of the kingdom. Go CX!
