I wouldn't call Madam Yu and Jingxiu's ending happy, to be fair. They had their peaceful ending maybe, but not a happy one in the general sense. She kind of lost her mind, getting stuck in the moment she found Tingyun to be a wife for her son, which means she will never be able to use her sharp mind properly again. And he became a humble post worker, whom all the ladies gossiped about for being from a disgraced family, and got stuck with his mother for the rest of his life. And I don't think any lady would want to marry him.
Also, their family is forbidden to take those scholarly exams for generations, so anything Madam Yu is trying to teach Ji won't ever be used to raise their status.
That ending was very good, in my opinion, and far better than killing them.

I am only sad that Ji had to stay with them, because he didn't have any other fault besides being born into that family.

It's not just you.

me too, me too

Me too, me too. I am counting seconds.

Sounds a lot like Robin Hood of Ancient China 😅

I will use BoP as filler between new releases of this one. I am 27 episodes in atm, and agree that ML is the best character there.

Yep, I also think he might actually like her. The way he looks at her betrays him a little. I think it's genuine.

Well PoJ who is 9.1 on MDL got 6.4 on Douban. They are pretty harsh. I watched Archives: The Nanyang Mystery and they are also 8.6 atm on MDL, but Douban gave them 6.7.

Thank you! So it's on 1st.

I know, but my question is — when will they become available if I don't pay? Today, tomorrow, or after a week?

Does anyone know when episode 36 becomes available to those who haven't paid for express?

I totally agree with you! This drama deserves all the praise and more!

Maybe the reason for that is what few others here have mentioned - that Haixia also had heart on the right side, which means Hailou's stab wasn't lethal. But that's just a maybe, because I don't know any lore of this universe.

He was in Love Between Fairy and Devil. Played ML brother.

You're welcome! However, that won't save you from all the other emotions this drama will give you. But all of them will be worth the ride. Enjoy! 🙂

The guy seemed more shy about that than regretful, and I think he fell in love with her after that night. For me, it definitely wasn't rape. Maybe the author of the comment thought it was rape because that lady, in general, was using men for sexual pleasure (they mentioned that), but none of that was shown to us. And I think they actually liked each other. There were some signs in previous events that their reactions could be read like that.

I wouldn't call that rape. They were drunk, and she took the initiative with an inexperienced guy, but there was no violence. And those were side characters not leads.

Funny enough, this is my first drama for both lead actors, so my opinion is definitely not biased by fandom (I have only seen Han Mingxi's actor and all my gamble was if he would be as big a villain as in PoJ or not, lol. And Feibai, ofc, also from PoJ). I am not taking any of their sides, but I can see the reasons why MXY's reaction in ep31 can be justified. The divorce was too rash a decision, however.

Thank you so much for your comment. I am so relieved to know I am not the only one defending him and trying to explain to others the reasons behind his actions. I am checking the MDL section here for the first time; my own battle was going on another platform.

Thank you. I am so relieved to see I am not the only one who tries to defend MXY (however, on another platform).
