also i think the point where she really decided to marry ling buyi after all the deliberation in her heart was…
I agree. I think that’s what gave her the confidence to choose him. I think deep down inside she does long for love. If a guy told me that “even if I’m the worst in the world, would he still choose me?” And he said, “yes” I’d marry him in a heartbeat, even if I don’t love him yet.
Actually, in the book, the engagement happens behind close doors. And CSS found out during the banquet.
Oh I see. I do see that it makes sense drama-logic, because given shaoshang’s personality she would’ve said no. I think her mom being objecting to it, and her pride pushed her to say yes. I also think that because of what LBY said, she felt a little happy inside that he thinks highly of her.
But he knew SS didn't love him back. He should talk to her first or ask her parents without emperor present first.
I think that’s why he did that. It’s hitting two birds with one stone. Her parents won’t be able to object, and she will choose by herself and it won’t feel like she’s being pressured
I was crying so hard for shaoshang after her mom said those words. 😭. She wasn’t even crying, like she accepted those cruel words. I’m just happy that Buyi put her in so much pedestal after.
I felt indirectly offended for WL and ZLS when she said that the only best actor in the younger cast is the actress…
Yeah. I love qiqi too but idk why she downplayed the other actors. I also don’t know what she was asking with WL character. She said he’s so tense, but I was like that’s how he was supposed to be… 🤷♀️
