the new girl miss wu is smart but forced to dumb down and shut off her brain all her life and be turned into only a dainty pretty accessory to be gifted to some influential man's household. cut her some slack. she gets shut down whenever she tries mentioning an observation or opinion. its not surprising she'd have a skewed view of some things and not get it.
I think it's also because of what happened before - he was slapped, belittled & saw people being killed just…
legit the only thing zhao ling got out of this whole thing was better status and social standing for tingyun and turned into a convenient weapon for the generals and the emperor. nothing for himself or his brothers. back in his rouge days, a kid like ah sen could still accompany him as long as he didnt get his hands bloody. but now their relationship is strained and he doesnt want him to even understand his choices anymore coz of how mentally damaging they are. his brothers are stuck in the same system and he still ended up losing one of them. once he taught ah sen the code they lived by- "If words will do, never use your fists, if fists will do, never spend money, and if money will do, never risk your life." meanwhile now he's living a life of killing and risking his life at every step. you can't remain the same person you were once you live through continuous years of killing on the battlefield and then killing for the court.
zhao ling's straighter back is saddled with way heavier and worse burdens than his hunched back ever did. he gotta look out and be wary of way more as a lawful court offcial than he had to as an outlaw. darker side of apparent success.
I know zhao ling is trying to become the man worthy of her … insead of leaving her but it’s been so hard for…
surely living the life as jiuweijiao couldn't have been worse or more dangerous than this🥲😭😩 they dealt with way less irritating people back in the day too. and it was easier to stuff someone in a sack and throw them in the water
Maybe I watched too many historical shows but I'm quite scared for Zhao Ling. He did work his way to the top but…
i have been uneasy about zhao lings current trajectory for a while now, he makes me feel depressed lately. i dont like this tbh i have a feeling he wont actually die but lose himself in the process, i dont think i could handle it.
Can the Yu family disappear? My head hurts when their scenes come. Less of their irritating faces and more of…
real, i feel specially deprived of tingyun and zhao ling scenes together like, i cant stand it when they are separate. why these irritating people keep interrupting everything uff. im missing the time they were on the road together and to an extent ganlin town too
