RURU

the amount of skipping i was doing this episode cz of the delusional side characters almost broke my keyboard keys

he is which is why he became her master to protect her.

he's her father

He fact that she vowed to protect ppl while holding hands and the whole look of “no don’t go away” as she was pushed out kinda shows that the identity reveal was underway and some form of acceptance happened. I expected her to breakdown in disbelief or deny it considering her traumatic attachment to her mother.

Did I understand ep 26 preview right? She accepts her real identity that fast? Or the mother was internally monologuing?

i see situ ling is embracing his dark decent. I laughed when he said i'll kill JBZ and get GMD for u. dude u weak and she'll kill u for touching her husband. Take a hint and stop deluding urself. I hope he doesn't end up being the chosen prince of his realm cz that is an obsessive guy in the making and nothing will work on him short of faking her death or him just dying (i prefer this at this point)

i think this is the actual situation. The mother's actions towards the FL stem from hatred over her son being taken. She would know if she gave birth to a son or daughter so why ask for a disguise? Also her identity will be helpful in making the cure cz i think the clan's blood/body is essential and that's why JBZ wasn't able to refine it yet. I'm not sure how JBZ will feel tho when he finds out what his master did to him cz that's gonna crush him but him being the rightful crown prince will allow him to overthrow the crazy prince since MX being a girl would not work well when revealed.

damn i just realized why JBZ misunderstood the FL when she was taking GMD from the divine consciousness. He thinks it's for Ming xian! when she was lying about her identity and said he was sabotaged and then was caught stealing GMD while not looking sick, he must've been hurt that she hid something else AND that it was ultimately for some other guy so he was jealous too but then later on he felt like he needed to hear the reason to give her a chance but it was too late cz the 2ML weasel stepped in and took her in his arms after her cat's death. They really need better communication after this. I don't think her MX identity is still said so the reconciliation should happen after he finds out

ok i don't get the initial hate towards MY. looking over the first time she was discovered lying cz her cat was caught, it was a public matter and an enemy prince being related to the ML will implicate him and the fact that she was not even in love or aware of feelings cz it was still early for her should've been enough to explain why she decided to still hide who she was. Albeit an enemy's beloved is the worst identity she could think of, it explains why ming xian would leave his most trusted beast with her and not someone else. Their main problem is timing. the villain events and the poison effect are faster than their pace in falling in love and emotionally healing so it's not working for them. Once everything is out and no more half truths are given, they'll manage to truly be together stronger than ever.

based on the comments i expected situ ling to be this kind 2nd lead i'd develop 2n lead syndrome for but the moment he found out who she was, i got the ick everytime he appeared. The guy reads weasel 2n lead who can't take hint just cz he met her first. Now i get how the scene of him holding MY in his arms away from bo zai is gonna happen. This guy is not gonna waste a second of opportunity that comes his way to drive a wedge between the leads. For him not to take a hint with all the love they show (both in words and actions) shows a sad end for this guy. if he survives or has a better ending than 27 then i'm rating this lower than 0. I'm done with supporting characters sacrificed for absolutely no reason while the villains live to redeem themselves. to hell with that.

the confession is early and i love it! I like a man who doesn't beat around the bush and just goes for what he wants. I hope she doesn't accept right away tho cz she's still freshly hurt but tells him to get to know one another for bit before they're official so it's not sudden.

ok tropes are tropes for a reason. They still elicit the reactions wanted by the scriptwriters. The only risk is that if the actors/actresses don't act it out properly, then it comes off as bland. The casting here is perfect, even the villains (did not want to slap someone in so long). What i liked about the childhood trope is that here it's more of a gateway to becoming kind and then falling in love which is more realistic than just liking her for being that person and he portrayed it so well.

same i hope it doesn't come off as a whatpad edit by the end like the others. They need to decrease the childishness that comes off in their adult era. As high schoolers/college students makes sense but as working adults no. So far they both seem mature in the future snippet

that's true but what she doesn't realize is that his dislike is those ppl's greed so if she tells him she is poisoned he wouldn't blame her cz he already knows she loves him so she needs GMD to live and not to betray him. Her stubbornness is what caused the eventual fallout. I don't think it's staged like the others are saying cz 27 dying was not a public event so what's the objective?But since he is her divine beast, i think her connection to him can resurrect him or something in that sense

is the ML the baby his master was holding in her flashbacks before death? I get the feeling he's the bo clan head's child who is the best friend of the master and she saved him before the clan's death or is his mother, but is basically the clan's descendant out for revenge OR here me out, the the FL is the baby cz no mother acts that way towards her child so most probably the ML's master saved her to the other side of enemy lines so that the clan's exterminator can not find her and the mother took her in cz she couldn't give birth at the time or something. Her body might be the key to the antidote working for both her and the ML which might explain why it's taking so long for the ML to heal. The antidote might only be activated by the genes/blood of those of the Bo clan

i swear if the cat is dead after reading this i'll riot. Thank you for alleviating my anxiety in folds!

If 27 dies to prolong the lead’s life with no chance of being resurrected then I don’t know how the leads can come back from this. FL will blame him for not giving the antidote without knowing he himself needed it so her betrayal with no explanation as to why she needed it (as a cure and not just to possess the item like the rest) is why the ML didn’t help. Even if he knew then it would’ve been too late cz it needs refinement and not a pill which she would’ve know if she didn’t wait to the last second to get the antidote! Fear of losing him led to losing her life and now 27. I hope 27 can return since he gave his soul and everything to her so she can find a away to get him back using it

Actually this makes sense cz it’s the most similar to the novel but I hope we don’t go from one terminal patient to the other, that’s just pointless. Maybe getting injured while refining is ok but dying instead is just a sad ending that no one wants.

can someone guess from the previews which episode he'll find out she's MX, zero information hidden anymore. They're already in love and there's alot of fear of the each other not accepting the full identity of the other and the anxiety of that moment appearing is killing me so i need to know whuch date that'll be

oh my god same! i can't even hate anyone cz for some reason everyone's actions makes sense. it's palace survival at its core mixed with greed over time.
