Almost 12k comments 😫 the brainrot is realll

finally caught up (just in time!) and the innuendos in the sword practice scene and bathtub scene made me giggle...they know what they're doing

The sweet first 10 mins was enough for me to ignore how truly sad the rest of the episode was..I feel like a'li still hasn't properly processed the trauma of what her husband did to her and her family even after all this time. I feel so sad for her

Youku is stingy as hell they could've given us ep 18 today 🥲

true, and duke su is well aware of her past on top of that which is why he didn't kiss her. the entire scene was still very cute without the kiss. this might be the most that we've seen the duke smile so far lol

agree I wanted a bit more time of them together :(

yes and he looked like he was just soaking it up AHHHH

Duke of Coolness was just trying to play it off imo. If he was suddenly too warm to her it would've been too much of a 360 change. I also think he will be more warm to her if they have a similar moment to the rain scene when they're both sober

the way his face LIT UP and he smiled when she called him xiao heng...the way he looked at her while she rambled on about how handsome he is...I'm deceased

EP 17 LOOKS CRAZY ..THE ALMOST KISS???

i hope the costume designer posts the outfits on weibo some time the way some other dramas do

since we're talking about their clothes, the red outfit the Duke wore for the guqin test was so cunty i kept pausing and zooming in to see the details. It's still his best outfit so far

it's so funny that their fight affected him so much that he was sulking in front of the emperor..i don't think he realizes just how much he likes her just yet. also giving his guards 15 strokes for giving him "irrelevant information" 🤣

yes! and there are times when the phrae he repeats to Ji Shuran "You've worked hard" sounds cynical. I t seems to me that he probably turns a blind eye to her misdeeds because of her family's connection to the Emperor's concubine

the cgi stuff during the qin exam took me off guard so bad i couldn't be annoyed about it..it was ott and bit of place but the sun monster sent me into a fit of laughter... is this kind of campyness a yuzheng thing? was it in the novel?

there was a certain scene in one of the episodes that made me think that the father is not as oblivous as he acts..we also don't have much info abput his relationship with JL's birth mother. maybe i am reading to much into it

her sisters are so dumb..they almost make it too easy for her to scheme circles around them lol

WJY is such a gem and so underrated! it's unfortunate that alot of her projects since her big hit yanxi palace never gathered much steam

the slow mo and zoom ins are a bit excessive but it's not annoying enough to take me out of the drama. I hope they ease up on it in later episodes

wu jinyan really shines in these types of stories..this is the first time i'm watching her in anything since yanxi palace and I did not realise how much I missed seeing her on my screen
