general feihong-s wife

LR's slap to the uncle was so deserved. Her stepping up in defence of PWX was so satisfying.

I feel like the viewers have high expectations of how fast-paced the romance is because the misunderstandings are being cleared up so quickly. Viewers are forgetting that there's 40 episodes, not 25 episodes. There's still a long time of the drama left for their relationship to develop fully and it would be boring if they got together super early. In my opinion they are already pretty intimate/romantic for a drama of this length.

Yes, it will take time for them to fully understand each other's thoughts and emotions, but that just makes the drama more interesting to watch. Let's wait and see.

It's up to SRQ wanting to interpret LR's actions, which she labels as political, as her trying to become close to him in a romantic way. Now that she stood him up for her husband, it's audacious of him to assume that she still has feelings for him. And I hope that she crushes his hopes clearly in the next two episodes, as seen from the trailer, it seems like she kind of gives up on him in a sense. I have a feeling that we'll have to wait for Ep19 for her to fully reject SRQ's proposal.

thankfully, they cleared up this misunderstanding very early. originally i thought the misunderstanding would drag for a really long time, but they finished it quickly, which is really nice.

because this drama has been fast paced in solving misunderstandings so far (PWX poisoning LR, PWX's feelings for QZZ), it has affected the expectations for the love story. But there's still 25 episodes left to see how it will develop.

it's a major spoiler but SRQ wants to get revenge on LR's family for what they did to his family.

I agree, LR hasn't established to either of them abt her feelings clearly. For PWX, whenever she talks abt SRQ, she only ever talks abt politics, but she's never expressly said that she doesn't love SRQ. For SRQ, the fact that she's married should be enough for him to think that the door is closed. How delusional is he?

the only thing to that look was either memories or just noticing that he was there. no longing or love

let's just she didn't kneel in the rain for him every time he was insulted

Same, I feel so happy when I see him sad. It's what he deserves!

Same, I see some commenters sympathising with him and saying that he's not that bad, but there's something about him that's just so annoying and frustrating.

When she furiously pulls out the sword and demands that they barge in, and when she slaps the uncle are definitely the best parts. All she did for SRQ was saying "I will not let you slander him in the slightest!" while sitting on a chair and coughing.

When she said "you said you would kill yourself, why don't you stick to your word?", I was literally so happy because that was exactly what I was thinking. Like don't get our hopes up for nothing!

I think that LR was just super shocked that she was wrong about PWX and QZZ all this time. She also said herself in that scene that she knows about the past now but regarding the present, she's still unsure (she's fully aware of his feelings in the past life thanks to that confession, but she's unsure about how he feels in the present). Keep in mind that although PWX poured his heart out to LR in that scene, he was talking about the past life more than the present life. The only times that he mentioned the present life is saying that he doesn't and has never loved QZZ, and telling her to be better at communicating etc. He also used past tense when describing his feelings for her "Li Rong, I truly loved you" "The one that I loved and lost was you". Although for the viewers it's obvious that he still loves her, there's nowhere in that confession where he says "I love you right now, in the present".

yes, exactly. have you watched the new episodes? do you want to discuss it?

It's the way that neither of them being fully honest about their feelings could lead to a never-ending cycle of PWX mentioning their relationship then playing it off, which makes LR think that he doesn't like her, so whenever she mentions their relationship, she plays it off and he thinks she doesn't like him, and so on. Funny at the expense of the characters.

You're definitely right, he's sending "mixed signals" as he doesn't know how she feels about their relationship. He said in Ep11 that he knows what he wants, and I think he assumes that she knows what he wants too. Especially as he's more open about his emotions than her, and more physically intimate. She definitely is unsure and thinks that he just loved her in the first life, while he thinks that his feelings are clear. That's just my theory though.
