I'm only on ep38 and the tears have already started falling...Despite the happy ending spoilers, I'm sure these last eps will be bittersweet and some will leave our couple's side 😢
On ep37 right now and one thing I will have to sadly agree with Zhao Bing Wen's words to Zhinu "Only losers will be despised. Those who succeed, history will write them praises". History is indeed written by those who won and even the most despicable can be recorded as benevolent and sang praises if no survivors who know the truth remain...
the expected betrayal we all forsaw but refused to accept this possible outcome is indeed true : mask and 3rd…
Yes...I also thought that outcome halfway through the eps and how possibly masked man is #3 and wanted to exploit our guy by using him for his own plan while fooling him with his r"revenge plan". And I think most here did at one point, but the way this was directed and presented to us, it made you want to not believe it and try to think of other alternatives...They did a great job and honestly, I feel so bad and bitter after ep36...When Zhinu (I won't call him ZH anymore out of spite to his masters ) realized the truth and cried alone, I couldn't help but follow...The betrayal is just too much!
it's mean that everyone were literally just playing with zanghai??🥲
Yep...They weren't reminding him out of goodwill but more like trying to gaslight him and keep his vengeful fire lit, so that he would do their biting!
Romance? Yes or no? If so, when do they get together?
Idk about other users but an honest opinion here, there is slight romance that will be given some more attention in the later half of the drama. However, the main theme of the series it's about revenge and politics. FL will appear in scenes unrelated to romance since she is important for the ML's plan and she helps him with it! We got a kiss and a hug even a bath scene between them, but the tone of their scenes is mild like lukewarm tea and not raging like a blast of fire. It fits the tone of the drama well^^

His benefactor most definitely and he even "saved" him so that he could make the most out of him...Using his desire for vengeance to eliminate the other 2 fish token holders and use him as a "Seal detector" to help him find the Seal. Cause he knew as Kuai Duo's son, he would probably make it! I do think his Gao master truly started feeling affection for him...After all he raised him for 10 years personally with the other master (who decided to commit suicide and burn when Zhang Hai left for the capital, which now makes a bit of sense since they deceived the kid and his benefactor was actually his enemy so that master might have done that as an atonement). But yeah, I feel so bad for our Zhinu/Zhang Hai, he was the only survivor of the most traumatic experience in his little life and then that was followed by being groomed and taken advantage of for 10 years in order to play into his enemy's palm and help him like a tool...
Yes on ep36 and it ended up really being his benefactor/masked man TT
Oh yes it did start on 35 but it was 100% confirmed on ep36. Either way it gets revealed early on...Now I'm curious how the rest of the 4 eps will unfold!
36ep so far and this one was definitely an enlightening and much anticipated episode. It was tough to watch the deception unravel in real time,clue after clue, the truth slowly came to light. Our guy was used as a pawn, a stepping stone, but what they don’t realize is that he’s way too sharp to be controlled now! The cub has turned into a wolf, and the other side no longer has the upper hand. The upcoming episodes are going to be a mix of sweet and angst for sure!
Yes, Zang Hai has the compass and would probably use it again to find the seal.But he also needs to be smart about…
Nine puzzles? Is it new? First time hearing about it...Lately I was too focused on cdrama side that I lost a few updates from Kdramaland >< Thanks for the rec I will definitely check it out!
Theories:Pros1. Kuai Duo gave him the Gui seal but not the key to open it.2. Giving the seal and befriending the…
But if he lived on alone that would be more of a punishment rather than great...After all he has been through, he deserves a happy life with his loved one at least...Plus Antu has been through lots of stuff as well so she deserves happiness!

I just hope our couple makes it in the end...Cause with how things roll I'm pretty sure body count will be high...Already preparing my heart for my fave side characters like their friends, ZH's master etc.
This is why I feel like the 3rd villain might have the fake seal or his plan was to always give the seal away…
Hmm I don't think so? Or if he did then the Queen would have died for nothing...And that would go against his ethics and Antu would hate him for it. Cause if he had informed them about his double plan, they wouldn't have gone out of their way to fight so hard to take back the Seal from Cao. I think it was a genuine miscalculation on Zhang Hai's part because he never expected that official to be a foster son of Cao.

Yep you are spot on! But I think while investigating on the next few eps and making his move, he might use it! So far the writing/directing hasn't disappointed us so I don't think they will allow any big plot holes here ><
