Misnomers

Yeah people seem to forget she scapegoated him in their first meeting to save the life of her friend. She's very selfish and entitled. Although it's consistent with her characterisation, as people around call her ill mannered and she also whipped a kid as a kid, she's not very likeable.

She didn't need the coins, she stalked him and used her money to buy them so that he'll come begging. I don't hate her, but be serious if the genders were reversed and if there was a man who was constantly piling favours on a woman with his money that he was born into, the audience reaction to it wouldn't be great either. Her behaviour is ridiculous.

Interesting, let's see.

Someone as privileged as YongRong who hasn't worked a day in his life and lives in leisure would definitely think ZH is rising fast because of his looks given how handsome he is.

True, maybe they do not care at all. 🥲

He could really just use his face to seduce his way through the capital.😏

ZH doesn't even know that the entire village died to protect his identity. ZH is just their best chess piece, not only to remove the other competitors but also to find the seal because he received direct training from his father. They strongly brainwashed him and use his revenge as a bait to make him move forward. Agh, I'm just thinking how he's gonna feel when he realises there's perhaps no one in the world who helps without any motive. He will feel as dejected as Zhixing is feeling rn.

He has a sexy innocent charisma, a rare combo of two extremes.

I don't just suspect his masters, I KNOW they're involved, it's just a matter of how and with whom. They wouldn't simply train him for his personal revenge. Whatever anyone says, for me at least this drama is giving me a guessing game which is fun af.

Gao Ming's tantrum when ZH said he's gonna sell the house is too funny. 😭

Also our new suspect Zhao Bingwen, what d'yall think about him. The tidbit ZH learned from Yong Rong is quite straightforward, so ZBW could just be a red herring.

Everything else aside, Zhuang Zhixing made me feel so sad. Someone protect him pls.

In fact, their boat date and the assassin plotline and the following setup worked great. But this love-me-love-me-not, I hope we're moving on from it tomorrow.

FL needs her own plotline to come fast, their constant back and forth for the last two eps have really slowed down the otherwise tense episodes.

Welcome 🤗 the drama has absolutely fantastic results and depending on the second half of the drama it may skyrocket even further since we're still far from the climax.

Last I saw heat index was 10450, and it had the highest daily views for a 2025 drama yesterday (according to beacon chart). And it also had highest market share for a 2025 drama on yunhe views chart.

The butler went half and half, he hid the weapon and showed the wires only - if he didn't show the wires he would come under ZH's suspicions.

It would make complete sense if he's the one who's keeping the eye on ZH for the Marquis but is helping ZH instead, so he helps build the Marquis's trust towards ZH. Maybe he pulled the weapon out of the incense but only showed the gold wires to the Marquis. At the same time he communicates the happenings inside the Marquis household to whichever team he really plays for. He also kept Zhuang Zhifu and Jiang Xiang away conveniently so the Marquis and ZH could share a moment. He's helping in facilitating their bond.

I rewatched the scene where the butler informs Jiang Xiang and Zhuang Zhifu about the fire (and that they're not needed for now) and am strongly starting to suspect that the butler plays for some other team.

Monarchy believes the king is sacred. You mess with the king you die.

ZH making ZZX kill PJH makes me so worried for ZZX. Filial piety was a big thing back then and patricide would completely ruin ZZX even if his father was wicked man.
