You’re right, she has helped them but she was unnecessarily deceitful towards FY for her personal gain. When FY was happily anticipating being the Wan family’s daughter in law, she was meeting with WJG secretly telling him that he was the only thing that she would not give up to FY.
When she rescued WJG, she told him that she would not hold him obligated to marrying her and yet, she was the one constantly in his face telling him that he owed her and he had to marry and be responsible for her.
As for CWD, we don’t need to go into how she’s constantly stringing him along with the intention of betraying him.
I know a lot of her behavior could be explained by her need to survive given her upbringing and that she was still young.
I’m ok with her doing what she needs to do but her ability to change positions upon whim rub me the wrong way.

She lied to FY from the beginning about WJG, before they even found about FY’s engagement to him and the whole mess started. For someone who was so special to her and treated her so sincerely, MX has not behaved the same way towards FY.
I guess for the last episode, it would be irrational for her to think that WJG chose to save FY instead of her just because he mistakenly grabbed FY’s hand.. She might be jealous because FY ended up being the one who got rescued and MX saying that WGY was meant to be with FY anyway was really her way of consoling herself. MX has grown up to be resilient and adaptable. That’s good but overall I suppose I prefer my FL to be more honorable which maybe is too much to ask of a 17 year old.

With CWD, true she does not have to be loyal to him but she is all so wishy washy with him. She helped him and then harmed him. She’s a pliable person and I guess I prefer her to have stronger values. FY may be frail but she has a strong moral compass. I can understand why and how MX has grown up to learn to adapt to the circumstances but it doesn’t mean that I have to like her.

I guess it depends on the definition of betrayal. She lied to FY so much about WJG even when she didn’t need to. She either gave up on WJG or cannot let him go depending on the circumstances. In the latest case, she e didn’t even seem that heartbroken over him since according to her, he was meant to be FY’s anyway. She is not a trustworthy person to me, a very gray character. Usually I enjoy shows with gray protagonists but her inconsistencies especially when it comes to FY made me dislike her.

It seems to be leading towards a rushed ending so I’m curious how the show will deviate from the novel

That would be an interesting ending, for sure and you totally called it about how WJG would react lol

I don’t like MX not because of how she’s treating CWD but because she seems capable of betraying anybody. Depending on the situation, and it doesn’t matter if it’s FY, WJG or CWD, she will bend accordingly.
You’re right, her and CWD’s relationship is like a Lakorn, hate to love kind. Not really kiss and slap yet although upcoming episodes indicate otherwise lol

The poor guy does not have competent subordinates, that’s why. If he had Xiao Wu (CWD) or Xiao Li (WJG), who knows he might already be with her…lol

I am so close to giving up on liking MX and I don’t trust her at all. She’s been swinging from one spectrum to the other and even if she decides to throw in her lot with CWD, who’s to say that she won’t betray him for something better. I have not seen her consistently defend one position, not even with FY who’s supposed to be her dearest closest kin. With WJG, she so fervently cannot give him up but once separated, it’s like Oh well, he’s supposed to be with FY anyway.
At least when FY takes a stance, she will commit to it.
Let’s hope we will see character development for both in the few remaining episodes.

You know, usually I would say absolutely not, my favorite character cannot die but in this case you might be right. I don’t trust MX at all. She’s been swinging from one spectrum to the other and even if she decides to throw in her lot with CWD, who’s to say that she won’t betray him for something better. I have not seen her consistently defend one position, not even with FY who’s supposed to be her dearest closest kin

So true! I can totally relate when it comes to drama watching!

Oh yes, he was so good in The Rise of Phoenixes. Waiting for his (and Ni Ni's) Novoland drama!
Oooh, Ni Ni and BJT - ah that would be a good pairing!

That's a great comparison! Ah you are reminding me of the other actors I love to watch - Hu Ge and Wang Kai.

You're right, this is a great role for LXY to prove his acting chops. So far so good...

It's ok and I think most people liked it. I just found the FL character annoying and I didn't see any chemistry between Crystal and the ML.

Great, thank you! The only thing good about having 2 episodes airing per week is that I get to watch other dramas in between ;P

I will cope by isolating the character from the actor - haha! But thanks, I will be prepared 😢

I have not watched ep 14 but the comments are enough for me to know that my current favorite villain is about to fall from his pedestal lol

Yeah, that's been on my watch list forever....although I have to admit that I am not so crazy about that pairing. I am not a fan of Crystal. I finished L&R because of Cheng Yi but couldn't finish My Sassy Princess because of her.

Same here...I just want to root for him lol

Not at all....he is one of the most green flag MLs out there
