Sometimes, in palaces...you have to be like this...or you lose your people. Maybe showing NH as his weakness would get him kiled.
That's my theory

Girl, did you watch the big reveal? The FL is actually quite stubborn but the love story starts in the second half. The thing about 40 ep drama is, the misunderstanding take their sweet time and the character growth fully shows up ...now! You left just before that

Yeah. The good thing about the drama is that we can't say that "oh! Its unrealistic" because its a parody of those dramas. The cliff scene was especially hilarious!

Yes...she was was the one who convinced them but I noticed how they were not leaving and were ready to fight to death anyway. She noticed how they were still defending the ML and made that plan.

Yes ! Finally...someone who has seen cdrama male leads spit enough blood from political betrayals.

My theory is that he is protecting the ML. I can see that

Wang peng is a natural at natural comedy. I have seen her in "Crush" and other dramas...

The 2nd ML's army and the night walkers were gonna have bloody battle ..but the 2 sisters came with evidence and that didn't happen. The nightwalkers were small in number and would have suffered heavy casualties...the ML didn't know that they would come because he has sent them away

Ikr...its her tone that pissed me off. He has been fighting against uncle since a long time ...the reason he didn't cut him off is because people like the FL didn't trust him and kept making plans to kill him. It would be foolish to cut off funding from the only ally and kill yourself. Now, its because of the support of people like the FL's father that he was able to do it. Even then, it was a super risky move for him. Had plot armor not been there, this dude was done!!

My entire point is that its him who took the decision to punish the uncle. Not her! Did she punish her own sister for harassing him? Even in the original script, the sister was just as evil. She is soo biased for her own family. He isn't! He has been fighting against the uncle SINCE FOREVER. He has been guarding against him and foiling his plans because he didn't have a choice. She did call him out... but that's all she does and she has been calling him out even when he wasn't wrong. Has she ever accepted her own mistakes? Nope! Its easy for her to point fingers at someone juggling 100 things together but hard to acknowledge his bold righteous moves.
The way she was cold towards him...like he has never stood against the uncle...was WRONG! She could have advised him but instead, she tried to accuse him of harming people which he has never done

I remember him saying "the uncle wants to control me but I have different plans" and he berated him. The thing is, in politics, sometimes, you have to align with the enemy of the enemy. He had no support from any side and the mother also talks about how he has survived with the uncle's help. He had made plans to sideline the uncle but its not easy to cutoff someone who has acted like your foster father...and funded you while others were willing to KILL YOU by hook or crook.
Still, he acknowledged that the uncle was evil and took away all political powef from him.
She just nudged him but after her own sister called her out on her hypocrisy, she didn't soften her attitude towards him at all. While he takes responsibility for everything, she hides behind her FAKE PRIDE. She has tried to put some sense into tge 2nd ML as well but he didn't change his attitude.
In the end, its the ML who has the ability to SELF REFLECT. Both the FL and 2nd ML judge others but don't self reflect themselves

Oh! Sorry...I wanted to write Song Yi meng...I accidentally wrote yi ting

Yeah...probably because he just can't let go off how nice she was to the masked guy. He just wants to have that side of her. Also, she saved his entire army from the battle so he still believes that she has that girl inside her

I think she is quite egoistic...and can't accept that she was wrong about everything. Its a character flaw. I love how the actress has portrayed it. It does make the FL more interesting and human like

Forget the real life actress. She is an actress in the drama....who enters a script...now, she judges him based on the script she has read..(which is wrong) and therefore, she has secrets too.

I feel like...she is VERY CRUEL TO HIM. Now, she knows that he isn't bad and loves her deeply. Still, she hurts him with all her strength. We wouldn't tolerate a man like that girls..would we? I don't think we should have double standards for her. Also, I officially HATE the second ML

Not her running and using the Plot armour excuse 💀☠️

Myyy gosshhh 😭😭😭😭 SHE IS STILL SHOWING NASTY ATTITUDE TO HIM. She's still wrong. Even as NH, he always tried to protect people and not harm them. Nobody trusted him except the nightwalkers soo it was difficult for him to help people. I don't like unnecessary sass in FL when she should do some self reflection. I want her to suffer now

As in, she's the actress. She is not that woman..is she? Even she has a secret...that she misjudged him because she read the script (and god knows how she read the script because all the characters are nothing like that). She has bigger secrets

I mean, you can't punish an innocent man because you have BIAS against your Ex. That's...not how that works. Its anything but justice.
Besides, she kept planning his murder and accusing him of things he didn't do. I get her...but I am not gonna go as far as saying it was "justifiable". The 2nd FL was also a jerk in the original script! She doesn't hold it against her as much. Its just her bias and even HER SISTER called her out on it
