It might take viki longer to get the english subtitles done is my guess, because I was originally watching in the beginning episodes only to realize there were more episodes out on iQiyi who was caught up with the latest episodes
On 30, the empress' excuse that no mother would act that way toward her own kid and she treated her like that…
Maybe her love is different than for her own child but it feels like she still cares about Mingyim You can tell it hurt her to say those words, she was lying about not caring about her on purpose to get Mingyi to leave as a way to protect her
Tonight's episode was so satisyinnggg I also really like how everything ties into that bigger picture about staying true to one's principles. Their feelings and motivations aren't shallow but somehow no one else understands that. Maybe they don't understand because their own motivations are shallow
from the looks of it she is already madly in love with him or something especially her father is set on letting…
Unfortunately I don't know. I'm also dying to find out AAA! But yes, this trope is used a lot, and a lot of the time it's not used well and just used to inject drama for the sake of drama. Many a shoujo manga have made me so angry for wasting my time on useless arcs LOL
Agreed~ RSB and LJL are the same type of person when it comes to duty. They both knew it'd one day come to this…
Omg you're right I misremembered, it was Love in the Clouds I finished recently, I need to stop watching multiple at once I think it's affecting my brain HAHAHA
from the looks of it she is already madly in love with him or something especially her father is set on letting…
I'm ready for it! We just saw Yan Bai Luo be the one to hold RSB when she fell and shelter her from the rain, and at the same time this girl is introduced. I think this is their turn to come into the forefront of the story more, and offer basically the narrative counter argument to why RSB and LJL should be together. Effectively used second leads are always there to showcase why the main leads are fit for each other and not just any nice/powerful/etc. guy/girl. So there's a chance jealousy won't factor into it that much, she might not even be a bad person, just someone who likes LJL. Either way by the end they'll have been used to prove why RSB and LJL are best for each other ; )
Here we go again: yet another piece of content — a fairy tale in which a man is gradually reduced to a servant.…
It was necessary for the emotional core of the story. LJL was always going to infiltrate the family, but by giving him amnesia, his time in the Rong household - and therefore his time with RSB - becomes sincere. If he had infiltrated normally as another candidate, he would've been no different from all the other men there for hidden agendas. He needed to have this element, and there are very few ways a man can have time and proximity to an unmarried woman, so his role was perfect both for the plots objective development and its emotional development. The only way for them to have any chance at a lasting bond in the future absolutely hinged on him being sincere in caring about her during his time there even if he was also a cunning little liar. Furthermore, he and RSB were always having a back and forth dance of trying to test each other and get a read on the other person. He was never powerless, everything was basically going the way he wanted it to the entire time. As for her being cold and dry, the point of RSB's character is that she's been boxed into the role of being a perfect heir her entire life and was not allowed to be a person or have emotions of her own. Her exterior is a fine tuned mask of composure but she obviously feels things underneath if you pay attention. This is and many other things are plenty of signs that the Rong family's way of doing things is also wrong. RSB has even said herself that the Rong family used to be without hierarchy and was a functioning family, but everything eventually went awry. And based on the recent developments, it's going to be her turn to be in a lowpoint while he has the power to help her. Even if they're emotionally equal, to be able to be equally together in status, the drama still needs time to change the situation. Every story that keeps a couple from getting together right away despite mutual feelings does it with the full awareness and demonstration that the relationship won't work yet until something changes according to the thematic throughlines of the narrative. It's completely true LJL wouldn't have been able to have equal footing in the Rong family if he successfully married at this point, not because of RSB but because of how the Rong family currently operates. And like Wen Can said, Madam Rong doesn't like him and she would definitely find ways to try to get rid of him. The sisters are also in disharmony and still plotting against each other too. It's exactly why they can't be together yet. But I do think emotionally, they see each other equally. It's just their circumstances currently don't allow for them to be together equally, and so things worked out the way they did
granny is dismissive of yunshu who might possibly bring the biggest disaster to the rong family. yunshu even got…
Yunshu has been good at weaving her spiderweb in the background and using people as borrowed knives all these years. I swear she hates the Rong family because of what happened to her mother and has long been working to bringing about the entire family's destruction
It's great, I second this recommendation
Also, her warning Yunshu was baller
I also really like how everything ties into that bigger picture about staying true to one's principles. Their feelings and motivations aren't shallow but somehow no one else understands that. Maybe they don't understand because their own motivations are shallow
