oh honey

yeah I see what you’re saying and I agree that she’s ultimately an enemy but at least she doesn’t unjustly blame the fl for things that go wrong. At least that’s why I “prefer” her at this point in the plot. also maybe because she is not in the same place as the fl at the moment so there are no direct confrontations. I’m really looking forward to seeing what’s gonna happen to the son.

And you are right about Yake, I enjoy seeing her screw up her life with every step she takes😂

ok maybe frenemy is too nice but I guess for me I prefer her to the other antagonists because she’s self aware. she doesn’t lie to herself the way Yake and Lady Zuo do. She has her ambitions and she does what she needs to do. Her actions against the fl e.g sending Zuo to her are of course cruel but logical. She doesn’t have this deep rooted and irrational hatred for the fl that the others have. it’s more like she’s just playing a game of chess and she maybe even respects the fl as an opponent

I couldn’t believe my ears when her brother was blaming his and her misfortune on Tingyun. Like excuse me? She almost died because of you, whatever punishment they faced was deserved. Was she supposed to just sit back while they screwed up her life? Despite being in the same city as them, Tingyun kept to herself doing her own thing. She has every right to make their lives miserable for what they did to her but she chose to focus on herself and they still came after her

Lady Duo and Yake competing against each other every episode to see who’s gonna piss me off the most 🙄 I hate to say the rage bait is working on me😤

Also am I the only one who sees Lady Yu as a frenemy rather than as an enemy? I really like the actress. I feel the character admires the fl but is also guarded against her. I still hate her because she’s to blame for this whole mess with Zuo. However, I do kinda like it when she terrorizes Yake. she’s Yake’s karma

yeah she did, I remember right before they left the last town she arranged for them to be in the same place

right! it pisses me off that that Yu boy is just going around messing things up and no one seems to notice. if they had just investigated further, they would know he’s been the one making moves

2 ongoing ones, well now just 1 and some that are already done

it is worth it. I’m watching both and I love both

it’s over😭 I did not expect the last 6 episodes to drop at once. I really enjoyed this drama, another Wu Jin Yan masterclass. CZY was of course incredible here too. They both in different instances moved me with their performances. Maybe 40 episodes would have been ideal to deal with that last arc but I still think it’s a really good drama. I’m not mad at the ending, I feel like it made sense for this story. The ml and fl do love each other but they are also both very dedicated to the greater good. I think Meng Ting Hui deserved that break from court after everything she experienced with those officials and later with her people. Sis was TIRED. I like to think that after returning to court, they continued to work together and eventually got married

Wow 10/10. I feel the same way you do. You put it perfectly!

Yake is so determined to embarrass the fl but my girl stays winning. Yake just keeps digging a deeper hole for herself. Her mother in law doesn’t even like her and those ladies she’s trying to impress will never let her in.

I think she’s been faking it since Mengmeng and Anian told her about him. but she still professed her love before then which was weird. I thought she was finally starting to like Anian.

And I agree, he’s a good actor

Zhili has to be pretending right? this has to be part of some bigger scheme because ain’t no way anyone can be this naive, gullible and dumb

😂😂😂

omg thanks. you’re a lifesaver

omg yes, I just finished episode 25 and now I can’t watch the next

yes all of them gotta go! grandma is evil is AF

I was wondering the same. I just know salt was basically money back in the day. I didn’t realize it’s actually necessary for the human body

Yake betrayed her friend for a man that doesn’t even care about her. he just wants someone he can control. this downfall is gonna be juicy😂

Loved the vulnerable moment when the emperor broke down in tears. The confession scene was cute but I needed more. also it was spoiled to me way before the show even aired😭Right chancellor is so dumb, ain’t no way he thinks he’s gonna get away with this. And of course left chancellor couldn’t help himself, we almost made it to the end of the episode and he just had to find an issue with Meng Ting Hui😂😂 he’s such a hater
