I don’t mind spoilers at all. I just hope that he isn’t there under false pretenses. And I also wish they had explained this peacock character in the very beginning as opposed to just say oh this is the new bad guy you know what I mean? Obviously, the neighboring country is now the new big bad but who is Peacock? What’s his deal? Why is he as powerful as he is and though he is a spy for that other country is he willing to be that country’s kings mascot or is he going to go above that king? There are so many unknowns. Plus those two doofus‘s from the actual Tang dynasty who are constantly badmouthing ML to each other and to the king or emperor whatever he is. I also wish that the cases were a little bit more, not per se intertwined so much in the beginning obviously we know where it’s headed but clear-cut this person was killed this person is the culprit put them away and then next case.

First one to arrive by car to this celebration gig is LWM (remember he went back to college/university; looks like his schedule is pretty flexible though): https://weibo.com/5103645868/5256464277967028

You know for all the shitty crap he has pulled; with her, he has for the most part been a gentleman. And she did in episode 16 at the end of it tell him to quit using her as a tool for families infighting so he’s not going to do that to her. I wonder how much longer he’s going to stick it into ML‘s face but maybe when he finds out that they’re together, he will leave well enough alone, especially since his father is already following her like she’s some criminal or something and psycho finds out who her father is so I doubt he will want anything to do with any of that. This project means a lot to him because they’re short on money and they need to finish it so they don’t need any extra issues including this girl whose father used to work at that place that collapsed hurt his leg and killed his best friend among quite a few others. He doesn’t want that and by that I mean, psycho. As for SML, he needs to start to figure his own crap out because they can’t give him a redemption arc in the last episode or two.

I completely agree. She failed as a mother in every sense of the word. She could just be his stepmother just like the psycho is his stepfather, though obviously not by his choice. And the other thing is, I don’t think ML‘s father took his own life I think that was also played off as part of his “guilt“ but I think someone took him out if you get my drift. As you said before tie all the loose ends make sure nothing ties back to you aka psycho. Psycho definitely had the means and the resources to do just that. Meanwhile, mom just closed the blinds and forgot about the man she supposedly loved for how many ever years. I understand grief and what not but you don’t grieve by jumping into the arms of your husband‘s business partner right away. You could be under his protection sure and treat him as a friend absolutely but she just threw her previous life away like it was garbage and started this new life. I even think she thinks of SML more of a real son to her than the ML. Which to me is a massive betrayal. I wonder what her reaction will be when the truth comes out. This is why I really truly hope we get express on Tuesday because we need this ball of justice to roll a lot faster.

Looks like the cast will have a livestream reunion: https://weibo.com/7960088033/5256460893423208

I don’t think their separation is going to be months. It may be a little bit, but it won’t be that long plus as far as we know they’re still working on that project together.

Did you see that somewhere? Because I don’t think he does that at least not with her around. Plus, maybe in the preview of 21 or 22 he will find out that his bro has been dating her for quite some time as well as when he finds out who her father is or was should I say. But the fact that during the live stream, both actors said that the brothers should have a good arc toward the end means SML will get a redemption arc probably helping put away his psycho father.

Yes, I think she had to endure some humiliation and what not but jumping into another man’s arms, especially her deceased husband‘s business partner just seems not quite right to me.

I don’t think he thinks she likes him back, but he’s just putting it out there as if kind of claiming his territory so to speak. But what he doesn’t know is that she is number one completely uninterested and number two is already taken plus has been in love with ML for quite some time so she wouldn’t have chosen him no matter what. And even when the truth about the past comes out and the leads get their little break or whatever it is even afterwards, she still goes back to ML because that’s the only one she loves/vise versa and he kind of saves her from an out of control fire that I think she was deliberately set in. That happens in episode 26 by the way.

Our boy works out! He’s not one of those skinny stick figures in their industry that walks around. I mean in the live stream, I believe someone translated that he actually gave DX pointers on gym routine and lifting weights and stuff.

I think he will continue because they are working together so he has access to her but I saw a preview. I don’t remember whether it was for episode 21 or 22 and the father psycho has been tracking or tailing FL to find out more about her and he has found out who her father is or was and was going to tell the SML. Prior to this; SML is still hell bent on telling ML that he will protect her and all this other stuff and ML throws it back into his face “with your father, do you dare” which he’s right. I mean, the SML can’t even stand his own ground against his father, and he wants to bring a woman regardless of who she is into that toxic environment? Not to mention the fact that the woman that he keeps little creepy trophies of already has a boyfriend and he’s standing right in front of prick.

I don’t understand the mom either. She doesn’t act like a mom to him. No wonder he stays away as much as possible. The woman needs to be like hit with some serious reality. Maybe when her current husband goes to prison or is exposed or however, they plan on doing it. She will get a clue, but honestly, it feels to me like she just jumped into this man’s hands, no matter what. Like she couldn’t handle anything on her own and she resented ML‘s father without any evidence whatsoever. I don’t like her. I think she’s very delusional. I have PTSD and all of her actions and reactions are not what people with PTSD show. Maybe Stockholm syndrome but not PTSD of any kind from any trauma.

I agree the mushroom LSD thing should not have made the list. That was a hallucination and she had no idea what she was doing, and he didn’t even reciprocate so absolutely not counting.

Oh goodness; them practicing for this scene is too funny lol: https://weibo.com/5822881647/5256438249427531

Exactly; he kind of reminded me of Wen Ning in CQL aka The Untamed and him hanging upside down from the roof lol.

Btw, anyone else think that our frail second prince from whichever country could be the peacock they are all talking about? That name just popped up. They didn’t even really introduce this character as being some evil mastermind from the other country and the fact that our fab four just knew of his existence but they didn’t give us any like backstory or anything about how he’s dangerous.

Drunk Wang Ye to CC “I’m a corpse. You like corpses the most; so you like me the most.” Guards getting second hand embarrassment in the meantime 😆.
Jing Yi with the two guards barely getting one drunk prince on the bed; “He looks slim but he’s heavy when drunk, I’m exhausted!” 😆

Yes you do; especially if you want to understand their interpersonal connections.

Yeah, I think it was something along. The lines of their families were friends so they were friends.

Well, right now they’re working together on this particular project so at least during work hours they have to sometimes be in the same location. Don’t know how long that’ll last but as mentioned for now.
