Glad I don’t know what was leaked. I would hate to get spoiled this close to the end.

They are so shameful. Had us thinking Mandi was going to die but then saved him only to have him killed an episode later.

Soeaking to the choir. I guess my expectations for that one was too high. I didnt have any expectations for this show and I have been blown away. My favorite Cdrama in the last two years.

I am glad the writers let Li call her out on it. Maybe he would have died or maybe he could have been a helped and saved lives. You can’t do whatever you want to protect people but then act self righteous when others try to do the same for you.

I’m starting to feel like Changyu is a bit of a hypocrite. Knocking out Li Huaian and drugging Xie Zheng (even if she thought he was YZ) was making decisions for them, taking away their agency. We applaud her for going her own way and making decisions for herself but then she doesn’t allow others to do the same. You can’t use the excuse that she’s just trying to protect them when XZ was also just trying to protect her. Had she not knocked out LH, maybe he could have saved General He. Even if it cost him his life, that’s his choice. You can’t demand choice and independence for yourself but take it from others. Not sure if it’s just the writer wanting to make her a hero, but it ends up being a character flaw.

That probably didnt get past the censors.

It’s very similar to how Changyu’s blue scarf blew off and found its way to Xie Zheng’s bed side. And that’s how they were reunited. Some things are driven by fate.

I think that was a post credit scene, not a spoiler. We were still in the same episode. They were showing her and the princess before she left camp. She remembered the time her and XZ were by the lake. They must have done a little more than kiss. Use your imagination.

Love Like the Galaxy is so overrated. Blossom is much better. Pursuit of Jade is the best I have seen since Blossom.

Wait till she finds out that’s the princess.

I was the same way. I definitely want to see how his story ends with QQ. Hopefully in his demise. But I don’t think his story fit the tone of the current battlefield portion of the storyline.

Right on the nail. The status difference is what’s bothering her. And let’s not forget, Changyu was bullied in her village. And no matter how tough she is, you can tell it bothered her and left a mark. She keeps pointing out that she’s a butcher’s daughter as to say she’s not worthy enough to be loved by a man of his status. That’s why I love his proposal in the tent. He laid out who he was in all his glory but let her know that he was choosing her for life.

I missing him in hopes that QQ kills him and escapes.

I loved the way he proposed to her.,He truthfully reintroduced himself.

You’re right, it should be 9.5.

Her drugging him offsets that. She loves him so she will forgive.

I’m definitely seeing some rough edits. I’m worried we will not do justice to the story with the chancellor and palace intrigue. It doesn’t appear that we will be done with the battlefield story until ep. 31. That leaves nine episodes to resolve the rescue of Qing Qing and demise of the two evil brothers. And finally we have to resolve the story with the chancellor. Oh, and give us a satisfactory conclusion to Changyu and Xie Zheng’s romance. That’s a lot to do.

I was thinking the same thing. He really poured it in when he reminded her of their life in the village and how that was the happiest he had ever been. No wonder she folded after one episode. Lol.

I can’t remember the last time I watched a Cdrama episode more than once on the same release date. I watched every episode twice (sometimes three), once on IQIYI and then on Netflix. I have watched the last ten minutes of ep 26 multiple times. I haven’t been this hooked on a show since The Double. Not many can supplant my man, Duke Su but Changyu is coming close. This show is already in my top 10 all time Cdramas. It’s getting close to being in my top 3. If they can end this series well, you could argue that it should be listed among the best. I’m praying it doesn’t slip up in the end.

Lol. That’s how it is with Kdramas. You are lucky to get two episodes a week. It’s excruciating to wait for the next episodes. That’s actually how I got into Cdramas. I was waiting for episodes to drop from a Kdrama and decided to watch The Double while I waited. Since then I was hooked on Cdramas.
