TTJ was also kind to NBY, but he forgotten PRβ¦lol!
Oh yes he remembered NBY's mom and sis - giving him the option to visit or relocate them - but forgot all about giving PR a day off. π π No wonder she went off on him! π€£
Ep.20TTJ launches his courtship based on PR's advice. He is so cute with his (zhe ge, zhe ge, zhe ge )THIS THIS…
XL's men still fall for the bait TTJ lays out. Because of the Sheng King's foolishness, XL is forced to lead his men despite the overwhelming odds.TTJ and XL go off to battle. YXW is worried.
We see their forces engaged in a battle. TTJ shows off his powers before asking XL to surrender. XL refuses to yield. They battle it out, but TTJ is just way more powerful than XL. If not for the HGS, XL wouldβve been a goner. TTJ is owning that cape flip.ππ€£
XL + B scene summary: XL is loyal to his undeserving father and advises Bitchang to remarry if he dies. She says she will die with him. Yeah right..
YXW writes many letters to TTJ. She is still scared of the crows. Poor exhausted crows have to be the love emissaries, and they complain about it! Haha!
TTJ doesn't write back because his changed handwriting might show that he got injured. He also thinks YXW urges him back because she doesn't want the Sheng army to be defeated quickly.
YWX learns that TTJ and YQY got hurt and asks PR to take her along but she refuses. However, PR notices disguised YXW so she forces a 100-mile march every day. Wily fox! π
XL sends B away from the battlefield back to the Sheng palace. Rumors abound, and she is not treated well since the Ye family members are considered defectors.
TTJ keeps waiting for YXWβs letters that used to arrive four times a day. He asks NBY, who says, "Why don't you talk to the crows? This is your family matter after all." Haha! π€£π€£
PR and YXW arrive at the camp. They have their funny banter, too.

Cut to XL and his general talking about the Sheng and the Jing army being at an impasse. XL shows how good he is at assessing the situation and cites three options, but the Sheng army is lacking in resources. TTJ makes a smart plan to lure the Sheng army.
TTJ gives YXW a star/meteorite for her birthday (that LSS doesn't know haha!). He also gives her a day off and tells her to go home. He doesn't expect it, but she invites him to go with her, and he happily agrees.
I love that detail of TTJ playing with a feather. They look gorgeous in this carriage scene. She has a meal with the Ye famil,y but TTJ refuses to go inside the mansion. Grandma Ye says it is reasonable for him not to want to join them because they mistreated him before. Her dad advises her to cherish TTJ's care for her. She leaves and rushes to TTJ to hug him. She expresses regret at the ill treatment he got from her family. She also feels bad that he doesn't get to join them and says she just didn't want him to be lonely at the palace. TTJ says as long as she is happy, it is fine.
TTJ says he will take her to a place which turns out to be the Tantai mausoleum a.k.a. Lingxing Hall. After paying their respects, TTJ introduces YXW to his mom. She introduces herself as her daughter-in-law. TTJ smiles softly at this. Awww! She gives an update on TTJ. TTJ then says with a flourish, "I give you this opportunity to pick a place where you want to be buried." ROFL! π€£π€£π€£
TTJ directly asks if she likes him. She flippantly says, "Of course coz you're my husband." He clarifies that he wants her true love - not the dutiful marital kind. She can't answer, and TTJ said it is okay since true love is hard to gain. LSS apologizes in her head and later ponders how much it will hurt TTJ to have nine spikes in his heart.π’
Hi Moonies! Here's the cue for our 2nd anniversary rewatch. πMore TTJxYXW scenes and a confrontation between…
Ep.20
TTJ launches his courtship based on PR's advice. He is so cute with his (zhe ge, zhe ge, zhe ge )THIS THIS THIS THIS, SEND ALL OF THESE when choosing gifts for YXW. YXW is shown missing TTJ. LOL at the crow complaining about how heavy the package is.
YXW asks if his intentions in sending the gifts were the same as hers, trying to please and make the other person happy. She leads him to the swing and asks for some time with him as his gift. LSS is melancholic because the moon reminds her of her family. She finally shares her real childhood memories by the lake. TTJ cheers her up by conjuring fireflies. How beautiful! TTJ: Where is that place? LSS: Somewhere far away. I'll take you there when the chance comes.
It is so sad to think that they are forming a genuine connection and love, but due to circumstances, they won't have an easy time pursuing that love. LSS didn't want to be there and kill this version of TTJ, but she knows the doom in the future will happen if she doesn't stop him. TTJ can't help falling for YXW as she is the one who has shown him care in his wretched life. Our poor star-crossed lovers! π
Cutie YQY had a falling out with his father and feels guilty for defecting to TTJ's Jing Kingdom. We have foxy…
Crispy TTML finds it hard to process the demon core unlike TTJ. He hatches a plan of colluding with the Sheng king using an evil puppet army.
TTJ ask YQY how he compares to XL and the other princes. Since he was told he was inferior in matters of the state due to lack of education in this area, he orders the court scholars and ministers to instruct him. Some of them were making a brouhaha about how he was unfit to be the king but eventually went on to teach him.
YXW seems to be falling for TTJ as she shows more care for him and fixation on him. However, she is on a mission, and every now and then we see how resolute she is in fulfilling it (and seemingly oblivious to the future pain she might bring TTJ). π’
TTJ consults PR about liking someone. He is embarrassed but PR figures out it is about YXW. She shares her love wisdom. Our little foxy cupid! π
In essence, TTJ and YXW/LSS are just bumbling innocent idiots when it comes to matters of the heart. After all, they are each other's first and last love. β€οΈππ
Cutie YQY had a falling out with his father and feels guilty for defecting to TTJ's Jing Kingdom. We have foxy…
Here come TTJ's FASHION SHOW!~ His outfits are just gorgeous. π
The famous 80 days without rest bickering between PR and TTJ is up next. They are so fun to watch. Btw, Zhenni really owned this role. She was so natural considering she was a relatively an acting newbie at the time. π
Since her romance novel approach was not working, YXW consults PR. PR does a kabedon on baby boi YQY. Haha he looked like a rabbit cornered by a fox. π
PR gets back at TTJ by siccing YWX's awful cooking on him. TTJ must have a cast iron stomach. LOL!
Hi Moonies! Here's the cue for our 2nd anniversary rewatch. πWe are in the Jing Kingdom arc now. What shenanigans…
Cutie YQY had a falling out with his father and feels guilty for defecting to TTJ's Jing Kingdom. We have foxy PR to the rescue! She cheers him up and explains how much better TTJ is compared to the tyrannical Sheng king. π₯Ή
TTJ makes an edict to help Sheng refugees and helps the Ye family to relocate to Jing. (Not in the novel btw - screenwriters made drama TTJ a saint).
LOL at TTJ fishing for something more than thanks and getting flustered when YXW kisses him. He then throws a tantrum as he realizes her happiness is because of her family - not him. He does reevaluate his behavior the next day.
YXW/LSS is dead set in making TTJ fall for her. Because LLS does not have any real life romance experience, she gets her inspiration from romance novels which PR scoffs at. Haha! YXW makes an ugly lantern and serenades TTJ for 6 hours. He pretends not to be affected but he keeps smiling foolishly. I still remember that they had a lot of NGs in the sweeping/scolding scene because NBY kept laughing.π€£π€£
Actually this could have been the last episode...if MY just pretended to be blind and they stayed in the bamboo…
Haha this is an epic idea! MY could have pretended to be blind and amnesiac when evil TH arrived. He could have stayed there, "regained his eyesight", and affirmed his love for SJ. And they lived happily ever after. The end. LOL!
This is the episode where for me MY started to really fail SJ and most of it is lack of communication, because…
True! MY had good intentions, but he kept them to himself. How was SJ supposed to know? He should also have consulted her about these matters because she was the one directly affected by them.... It WAS satisfying to watch SJ get her revenge. πͺ
But it is true that he's too good for her and his "dad". Poor XL...
Yeah it was sweet! PR knew exactly how to comfort YQY, too.
LOL at TTJ not wiping away the kiss mark at all π€£
We see their forces engaged in a battle. TTJ shows off his powers before asking XL to surrender. XL refuses to yield. They battle it out, but TTJ is just way more powerful than XL. If not for the HGS, XL wouldβve been a goner.
