Unconfirmed. The last we saw of both of them was CWD lying on top of MX. Like you said, there are shots of him together with MX so hopefully his death is not the end game. Just hard to tell with MX's daydreams.

Same as @AnitaLin, I watch on Viki..

Sweet moments of CWD and MX but all leading to a heartbreaking decision made by CWD. He wanted Xiao Wu to escape with MX and the others while he went into his final battle (a suicide mission) with the Longxiang army. MX had no idea and up to the end, she was planning and daydreaming with CWD about their future. She even started calling him FuJun (husband). 😭

FY and WJG - who would have thought that you would be the ones to cause harm to MX...FY guessed CWD's diversion plan and warned WJG to watch the main camp instead. In the end, when CWD was at her camp, she guessed that CWD was actually trying to help MX escape but it was too late. As for WJG, he only wanted to block the escape route but WY completely took control and totally annihilated everyone.

WY - in the end, he could not fight for MX. He had to choose his mother over her and could not go against his evil father. I really hope the show gives us some satisfaction in seeing Wu Lang get the worst punishment ever.

CWD supposedly died protecting MX. MX had a sweet but very sad daydream about CWD before regaining consciousness. She then sacrificed by staying with him instead of alerting FY and WJG who went looking for her. Paraphrasing her monologue - "I love the two of you and you both love me. However, other than you, I still have CWD but he only has me. In the end, it is still just the two of us together." 😭

I was so mad at WJG - all he could say was that WY had the permit so he could do whatever he wanted. I get that he was a subject of the court and he had to obey but he just seemed so useless to me. Even when FY wanted to continue looking for MX, all he could do was provide useless consolations and hypotheticals.

The episode ended on a cliffhanger with WJG's men supposedly finding MX's badly burnt body. I can guess who it was but we shall see...

Ep 34 - Too little too late 😭😭😭

CWD and MX have now properly committed to each other and MX initiated the first willing kiss (and another one via an interesting gesture of committing herself to him). Aww, CWD became a teddy bear immediately and his expressions were so sweet. However, he should really stop being jealous of WJG and accusing MX of missing him.

Just as I feared, CWD was overconfident and did not expect any of his men to betray him. In the end, his army was defeated and they were chased out of Qingchou. MX and CWD both were sick by now.

FY was the MVP of this episode - her dedication to MX meant her relentlessly harassing WJG until he finally did something morally right. He went against WY and helped CWD and MX. Unfortunately, it may all be too late.

WJG kept promising but not delivering. That said, MX did refuse to escape with him so it's not all his fault. I am confused why WJG did not tell FY about MX's decision to stay with CWD. Probably some scenes were deleted again.

I used not to mind WY thinking that he was an interesting 3ML but with all the scheming and dishonorable sneak attacks, I really wish he would just go away. Ultimately he was just a pawn and also faced the agony of potentially not being able to save MX.

Now on to ep 34

Ep 33 was stressful with all the backstabbing and betrayal - CWD suffered a huge setback.
The romance was in the background but at least one couple is solid now.
Yet again some unnecessary flashbacks - total filler time.

I only saw the next one and you're right, it's not looking good. I wish Youku would just drop al the rest of the episodes in an express package. I need to get this pain over with...lol

Yes you did! You never fail to let me know about good shows! Thank you 😊

I’ll be watching that soon!

Love his expressions especially during the photo shoot 😂

That’s true. She’s now inserting CWD into her daydreaming but for now, it’s mostly worst case scenarios 😢
The one time she had a good daydream about him, he had to tell her that he would break her legs 😆
I hope that she can imagine a good future with him soon.

Same here! That one is good too but I’m not liking the FL as much yet. I’m sure she will grow on me 😁

She’s really bringing her A game in all her dramas!

Lol you’re hilarious!
I’m glad you recommended this show to me! Such a good watch! Thank you!

Lol that was one of the reasons 😆

This show knows how to tug at the heartstrings. Ep 4 was again filled with different emotions but I enjoyed the comedy the most. Flustered ABH was adorable.

Still SHS is outshining everyone else. Her persistent and straightforward character may not appeal to everyone but I like the FL. It fits this storyline.

I’m not even trying to figure out the mystery and different characters. Just following along and enjoying the ride!

What you said about MX makes sense. I can see why CWD would think that MX perhaps have started caring for him. Maybe they didn’t execute the kiss well because to me, it looked like a forced kiss that she didn’t enjoy but during her flashback, her reaction about it was perhaps she did start to have him in her heart.

I think you’re right. Some scenes must have been edited out. Like you said, the scene with the cape felt off. I thought they were unusually softer towards each other and yet we did not see anything happening after she yelled at him about his parents and MX.
Also CWD’s realization that MX must like him came out of nowhere!

Yes, totally agree.

Based on the preview for ep 33, things will finally move along. I’m still hoping that WJG and CWD will team up!
