In the maze

So, I guess all the real secrets might be well-guarded in the Nine-Square Maze Prison. I don't remember who Bai Sanxing was—was he just someone who fought He Simu for the Sovereign title hundreds of years ago, or was he someone else, too? Apparently, he's important for the Left Hand, but why? Someone she loved, maybe? Or another reason? I couldn't really tell... and because she thought he was dead, did she hold a grudge against He Simu? Now that she’s seen him alive in that prison, maybe something will change? 🤔The Right Hand was definitely shocked to learn "that mortal general" was He Simu's spell-bearer. Is it for better or worse? I am quite confused after this episode, but about one thing I am definitely grateful—something intriguing finally is happening and I want to know more.Also, was that scene at the end an illusion, or did they actually get out of that prison? Could it be possible that this is how He Simu gets all her senses back permanently without borrowing them—just by entering that prison together? Probably not, but there’s room for guesses... 🤔

Unexpected and very touching side story

I have to say, the story of Spirit Si—his obsession, his memories, and his choice for ascension—was so sad and touching. I couldn't have imagined I’d cry for a character who was so irrelevant to the plot, someone whose only purpose was to show the path to Ascension and the choice required for eternal peace.The sequence that took up most of this episode was painful to watch: seeing his obsession and his broken heart, then watching him regain his lost memories and find the sanity to choose the path of peace. It was heartbreaking, touching and beautiful! 😭😌🕊️The rest of the episode was something I didn't know I needed—an exciting gambling game! It was hilarious to see the 'winner,' Duan Xu, actually being used to earn even better spoils for the 'loser,' Jiang Ai. The Left Hand is definitely playing a different level of the game! 😂😏

Hidden feelings

Why is Simu pushing Chenying away and ignoring him? It’s so clear the boy wants her in his life and thinks of her as family. It was really frustrating to watch him get sidelined, and that led exactly to what happened at the end—those evil guys (who I'm convinced are evil spirits themselves) have tricked his mind. 😒I really hope he remembers what Mr. Lin told him about looking harder to find the 'tell,' because the fake one will eventually slip up. This 'real' Xiaoxiao is nothing like she’s ever been, so I don’t understand why he’s still listening to her! 🤔🤞Also, I’m so curious to see how Duan Xu handles the battlefield without his sense of touch. I bet it will actually make him even more skilled! It’s amazing to think about him honing his other senses to compensate for the missing one—which, in a fight, is probably the most important one to lose.

Sense of touch

The way Duan Xu says her name... Simu... it sounds so intimate every single time! I honestly couldn’t focus on anything else in this episode besides those two. And now, she finally has the sense of touch!It’s amazing to watch her enjoying it like a child—so cheerful, playful, and curious about everything from different textures and fabrics to the feeling of the wind. Seeing a grown-up react to these sensations for the first time is just beautiful. Of course, Duan Xu is using that to his benefit... touching her and sending that "electricity" her way! She seems completely amazed and stunned by all these new feelings. ⚡️😊I believe her journey through the senses is going to be quite a ride, full of so many different emotions. I actually love that she cannot use her powers while experiencing these senses; it makes her journey even more diverse and grounded. Also, seeing how Duan Xu adapts to losing a particular sense was so funny—at first, he was falling everywhere like a completely wasted person, yet he was totally sober! 😂

New suspicious characters

Both Duan Xu and Chenying don't want Simu to leave their lives. I really hope she changes her mind and attitude toward the boy, because her rejection really hurts him. Poor Chenying! ☹️ Duan Xu is always searching for Simu when she's not around. He really has already fallen for her. His gazes are such a tell!The new guy, the Chancellor from the capital, is suspicious. I am not sure what his goal is there, but I would like to trust Chenying's judgment. He always notices many little things that eventually turn out to be a sign of some malice. 🧐And I wonder what Captain Han will say when he actually decides to ask, or learns another way, that he's also from the All-Knowing Sect and that Duan Xu was the one scarring his face and removing his memories. I don't think he'll be happy... Simu's right-hand man seemed a little jealous of her "passing amusement" that somehow has taken a lot of her mind and even changes her preferences. I hope the guy won't turn into a villain.

What a fight!

The Chong army should know by now never to underestimate General Duan Xu, even when he’s alone, captive, and chained! Watching him easily break free, throw the camp into turmoil, and set it ablaze to reach their general (the one with the cat) was incredible. His journey gradually shifted him into a "bloodlust mode" until he went into a complete frenzy to deliver the killing blow to the spy, whom he recognized as the "Fifteen" of the All-Knowing Sect. 💪🫣Before their final clash, Duan Xu revealed his own dark secret: he is actually the real "Seventeen", another specially trained assassin from the same sect! Supposedly disappeared for years, he was marked as a betrayer for disobeying and blinding his Mentor. What a character! I already knew he was no ordinary general, but now that we know his backstory, I am loving him even more! All of this led to him finally accepting He Simu’s deal, giving her his senses in exchange for the wishes. I cannot wait to see how her journey with these newfound senses will go. And best of all—Simu finally revealed her true name to him! 🤗✨❤️

The spy

I really feel for poor Captain Xia! 🫣 Imagine running into the General’s bedroom only to witness them in that position. Having to cover for them so Captain Meng wouldn't see... oh, poor guy! 😂On a more serious note, I genuinely felt sorry for Chenying. Having to witness the execution at the city gates clearly forced him to relive the trauma of his father’s death. I believe Simu felt for the boy too, judging by how worried she looked while observing him. 🥺I’m glad they finally found the real spy and cleared Captain Han's name. I’m quite intrigued by Han’s forgotten past and those excellent combat skills—there is a mystery built around him too, undeniably! 🧐General Duan is quite the gambler, indeed. It often feels like the General enjoys walking on the edge of a knife... that thin line between life and death. It probably makes him even more interesting to Simu! I’m quite convinced he and Simu have a plan for the spy, especially given how they both smirked when Duan Xu was "captured" by him.

Revealing her identity

She continues to sneak around in her spirit form and I wonder: can Duan Xu sense her only when he has the sword at his side, or can he do it on his own? Simu even raised a question whether Xu had been given Deliverance only because he was her spell-bearer? I want to see how this will turn out to be... That captain with lost memories remembered some flashes, and Duan Xu has marked him as a spy. Is he, though? I'd love to know what he has forgotten and why that happened.But the most important part of this episode was that she finally revealed to him that she's the Sovereign of the Spirit World and wants to make a deal—fulfilling one of his wishes for 10 days for one of his senses. Repeating it five times. And the question now is: what will the general do? She's very determined and persuasive, but they both are tough nuts! Will she succeed? And what did Duan Xu's blood do to the sword? Did it enhance it? Or fed it? That's another very interesting thing to learn eventually... 🤔
