Wow. LY’S mean girl might just be superior to SCC’s.😝QST comes to save the day and mean girl is all fake adoration. She is just eww and annoying on a grand scale. Her rich fiancé probably deserves her. GY puts himself on the line and I get annoyed with LY threatening their friendship if he LIKES her in an intimate way. He backs down but he is cut deep that she can’t even envision him as a devoted suitor capable of loving one person exclusively. TQ enters the scene and the ladies have even more to chat about later with LY surrounded by three handsome men🤣 He asks QST to go outside for a chat because he wants to test his hypothesis by getting QST and SCC together at same time. His plan fails but he doesn’t give up the experiment. SCC now knows GY likes LY and the looks QST gave her with thumbs up at luncheon is hilarious. These actors are a close knit group and it is evident by how they can mimic each other with great accuracy. This is truly a gifted bunch and it’s a shame that people not even watching this drama are deliberately sabotaging the rating scale. It deserves a much larger audience. LY rebuts her assessment by saying TQ likes SCC. They are queens of denial. The men and their alcohol therapy.🤣 This time GY snags the bottle and shares minimally. As messed up as this method of problem solving is….they are actually closer to the truth of things than the ladies are. The subway scene gives TQ more data but it comes with serious side effects. 🤣But again the way the color exchange is shown really indicates a mental interfacing between the two. The bracelet tech is taking these two to places angels fear to tread.🤣SCC is so linked now that she knows not only that his vision is impaired, she has surmised that it’s not his eyesight but his mental condition that is causing the ailment. These two are freakishly bonded😄 She bandages him up and chides him to give her warning before further experimenting. Mean girl strikes again at the office. She is a piece of work and this time chastising WY for working with SCC. WY is long past her initial disappointment with SCC and knows that their combined efforts will go much further than anything mean girl can come up with. The friendship developing between WY and SCC is fun to watch.

The women are getting smarter in their plotting. SQL used her connections to borrow a friend’s office space to show FJ has been healed. However the sunglasses disguise for the cameras is terrible. 😝 SCC is realizing she is responsible for the consequences of her disguises and this time is being carefully observant. She has guilt for the effects on TQ, but not enough to confess the cause of his discomfort. I can’t even imagine the shock of going from an extra spectrum of color to having only shades of grey. TQ’s only color vision is SCC and whatever item she’s touching. The way they showed him losing his color vision is the way SCC’s bracelet scans in reverse. It is like they are cosmically linked and are mentally interfacing via the tech of the bracelet. Since neither of them communicate directly, the tech itself seems to be trying to guide them along. The tacit understanding between them during that meal was nicely done. LY and GY again have a sweet scene and find themselves at TQ’s place. When the girls enter the car, TQ confirms he can only see SCC in color. I think the only thing that has kept TQ sane with this mental onset of color blindness is his fathomless quest for data. The condition itself is secondary to his quest to understand why. During the meal at his parents house I am curious if he mirrors dad to organize his food correctly or if they are that similar in habits. 🧐 I also saw that he is still wearing SCC’s hairband as a bracelet. While he is analyzing this verbally with GY He sees QST walking down the street in vivid color …..WHY?!Wow also noting a gruesome twosome has lowballed every episode til the end before it’s even been broadcast. Too bad they can’t be permanently banned from their idol they think they’re supporting with these mean antics.😝 But I do wonder why MDL allows ratings to be possible prior to release 🧐🙄

LY and GY have chicken soup😂 This was very cute but poor GY ……he is completely friend zoned. He has been nothing but sweet and she is just so oblivious. I am wishing him massive turtle luck. 🐢 It was a bit mean how SCC handled the date at the tennis court but I am giving her a pass because TQ was an ass about the flowers. He started that farce to protect her from mean girl colleague and he owed SCC a heads up that they were cancelled. Especially when she was the one buying them. He could have ended that on a better note to let her save face. All the psychoanalysis TQ did worked well for the ladies to get FJ out of the picture for him. The rainbow stairs scene was perfection. All the comments about Li Landi not doing much acting….she gave it in spades in this scene. I have no idea how this author is gonna get these two together, but if this is any indication of the potential between them…there is not gonna be any lack of chemistry. This scene was absolutely beautiful.

FJ is trying so hard to make her friend happy and it’s so not working. SQL and LY mean well but they are causing so much added pressure. For the first time ever SCC confidently tells her sis to step aside because she has no clue how to handle the situation. She enters the room and asks FJ what makes her comfortable. Something her good friend never bothered to ask😝 she gets FJ to agree by letting her present herself as she is. She has earned her credentials and has worked very hard to establish her business. SCC lets her know she is good enough as she is with no fake trappings required. I love how SCC as FJ completely rearranges things for FJ to be comfortable on the air. She confidently gets everything organized with FJ’s comfort in mind and she expertly has the product displayed. The meeting of SQL and TQ outside shows the assumptions SQL makes for both of them. He hands her a piece of chocolate and heads inside. 😂 The press conference is a success and FJ has taken a big step in restoring her confidence and moving forward. I give SCC full marks for that. She is so unsure of herself but she saw FJ quite clearly. She is outside still trapped in FJ disguise but she is watching on her phone and very pleased. TQ comes out and funny how he makes a beeline right for her. 😁His heart already knows. He sits down by her and she points out a rainbow. He starts spewing data of how it is made and she points out the spectrum of colors and how THAT is what makes it beautiful. She further goes on to say that pearls and fancy clothes make women appear beautiful but so do lab coats and other everyday things. That all of these different qualities is what makes women beautiful. TQ is completely entranced and declares his love for her on the spot. She runs off to not face him. As he’s heading up the stairs he runs into the real FJ and the conversation reveals it is not the same woman he talked to. When the ladies are together again and SCC tells FJ that TQ is in love with her, she is quite surprised. But she has the clearest view. She reminds SCC that she wasn’t the one that spent time with him. She concluded that he really loves SCC. They all toss that idea and here is where I get annoyed at how obtuse SQL and LY are with things of the heart. They just really don’t see the obvious. I think deep down SCC has an inkling of the truth, but she is scared to hope. TQ still doesn’t see her for who she is…..but she is also equally blind towards him. It is very interesting to see how with the important things they are very similar, and their opposites are very complementary when they get their preconceived interpretations out of the way and really pay attention to the intent of the other. This story is frustrating as hell😝 but all the characters whether you like them or not are there for a reason. They make you feel something and the spectrum of emotions this cast successfully conveys truly leaves a lasting impression. You have to chuckle at the guy version of this……alcohol therapy🤣 SCC’s bracelet is charged and LY is most happy with it’s newest feature.🤣

The acting is phenomenal in this series. FJ’s character switching from survivor to enforcer was well done. The conversation back and forth from thanking for help to I’ll kick his butt showed how well Li Landi’s fighting stance and attitude was projected. The court case sent everything in FJ’s favor and a deal was made with TQ’s company. What I did not like was SQL pushing FJ to do a press conference and even less in those clothes. Here I think she should have given FJ encouragement but let the decisions of when and how to FJ. GY and LY are so damn cute and his cue being jazz rather than heartbeat is fun. He is so lost and she has no clue. I’m still curious about SCC’S background. How did she get from kickboxer to interested in cosmetics as a career move? She is self conscious about her looks because of her sister but she really doesn’t experiment much with different looks or styles so it’s puzzling how she got here. Her first interview was in this field before sister’s help so this is her choice. I just really wanna know why? Her conversation with FJ shows she is intelligent in finding problems with cosmetic items and this is how she complements both FJ and TQ. They work better together than separately. TQ is a drunken mess trying to figure out why there are two FJ’s lol and it is interesting that the one most like him is the one he doesn’t like. 😂so GY is trying to be helpful and pushes him towards FJ so TQ goes to her lab and the wax figure is born. 🤣 I wonder how long it took them to shoot that without laughing and with frozen faces. The end conversation amongst the women I get the same vibes as them talking to SCC about TQ’s lack of feelings or no need to worry. They are trying to be encouraging to FJ, but you can tell by SCC’s silence she doesn’t agree. I did appreciate SQL’s sharing of first court case nerves. I think that is a new concept for SCC to hear because I don’t think she really sees her sis having vulnerabilities. But SCC’s question of do we have to overcome all our insecurities to live a better life? Is a damn good one.

TQ is so conflicted. He has no clue why he is attracted to FJ and even GY thinks he is fickle. This episode has very sweet moments and all the while I want it to be with the girl not the disguise. Neither are ready yet so it’s waiting to see how fate plays it out for them. GY and LY are more sigh worthy. She so lovingly signed all those books, GY is falling faster than TQ😂 Mean girl is still causing grief at the office. Sun Wukong has a staff all ready to thump her with 😝 I hope the author has karma in store because she is getting on my nerves.

This episode 😝 I enjoyed the sweet interactions of GY and LY. They make me smile. Many viewers had a good laugh with this episode so I am a minority opinion. I watched a second time to see if I still felt the same and I do. I am beyond disappointed at the women in this episode in killing off SM. It was not in the fake death. TQ was too determined and he would have gone to the ends of the earth if she just disappeared. What really disgusted me was the complete lack of regard for the impact this had on TQ. SCC got piss poor advice and assurances from her jaded divorce attorney sis and her best friend. That fake boo hoo session at the wake made me want to smack them. Once SCC saw how upset he was she should have checked up on TQ and showed some sympathy even if just through his friend. I will admit that I wanted to drop this series because I was beyond fed up with the entire lot of the women. 😝 what I can say to others more of my mindset is I have watched through ep 17 and the story is worth it. But this episode ….😝🙄 I rated it 8 because I am tired of fans downgrading JCT’s works but this for me is truly 2 stars for the sweetness of GY and LY. Those two made me continue watching.

This episode starts with SM in hospital with a fractured leg. This means that SCC’s work presentation will be by her colleague (mean girl😝) LY will get her later after showing her publisher her new characters. TQ visits and SM delivers a crushing rejection of his confession. She is hoping this will make him give up and move on. So the work presentation goes well but mean girl took 99% of the credit. She relinquished the 1% when TQ directly questioned her about the data. There is a very funny interaction between LY and GY which involves a meltdown, lots of egg shells and a Lost You Forever Xiang Liu doll 🤣 GY inadvertently clues in big sis that SCC has been missing work due to illness. TQ visits SM again to catch her before she hits the floor trying to sneak out of hospital. Tan Jian Ci easily lifted dance partners so his old man act is quite funny. SM sends him out to get takeout for her. Her bracelet is just about upgraded so she tries again to get out of the room before TQ comes back. She was not successful but was rescued by LY and her sis while TQ heads to SM’s room. SQL gives them a deal they can’t refuse so they are going to explain when they get to LY’s place. When TQ gets to the room it is of course empty but the nurse hands him SCC’s laptop that she had left behind. He is recognizing that there are too many similarities between SM and SCC but he can’t figure out why. He also heads to LY’s place to get an explanation about the work laptop that was left in the hospital. SCC has a very good time demonstrating being pretty to her sister and telling her about the upgrades. TQ arrives and hears her so makes his way in to return laptop. There is a fun time of moving decorations and eventually SCC shows up to apologize about laptop. That evening she has SM txt TQ apologizing for being so mean and to make plans for the weekend. I was saddened by his playing her hateful words in his head while he is making such a beautiful sketch of her. He has high hopes for the weekend and it is not going to end well. SQL joins LY and SCC to help remove SM from the picture permanently. SCC goes to work and greets colleague with a gift for helping her. She then finds out what really happened. So mean girl got a visit from Sun Wukong warning her to change her ways 😂 mean girl then admits everything and apologizes with TQ overhearing. I find myself not really looking forward to their weekend plan while acknowledging SM has to go.

In this episode SCC’s bracelet is glitching which means she never knows which face she is presenting. She runs into TQ and gives him even more mixed signals as he doesn’t know why Su Miao is in the building and hugging him in the dark. She knocks him out and runs to her best friend’s place. There she is horrified to find GY and literally sends him flying. 😂 TQ wakes up from an interesting dream and has a chat with his friend. He can’t make any determination about SM and wants advice. SCC and LY have learned that that the bracelet is upgrading and the process is very slow. So of course she has to request working from home and this continues to reflect poorly on her with colleagues and flipped the good opinion TQ was starting to make of her work effort. She finds herself invited to dinner with TQ with no escape. There is a project due at work and her partner refuses to help so SCC must get the data from TQ directly. She is annoyed at the lack of response so she and LY try testing with a txt from SM. When TQ promptly responds they are annoyed and out for more revenge. What they don’t know is the internet was down and he could not comply with the request until then. It put him in a bad light but this time he wasn’t guilty. After completing her work project she goes to dinner as SM to find that TQ had a very fancy dinner cruise arranged where he confesses. He looks across the table to see her jumping out of the window🤣 what is more surprising he jumps out to follow her😂 when SCC gets to her friend’s car she slaps on the window looking like a creature from the swamp and LY screams in shock and terror. This was another good laugh from me. This drama is just so fun in all the right ways. SCC and LY are enjoying takeout when a soaked TQ show up at the door. While TQ and LY are arguing at the door, the episode ends with SCC sprawled out on the stairs in a botched attempt to escape the scene.

This episode starts with everybody celebrating a very successful photo shoot. While Su Miao worked very hard to make this success and SCC is smiling because she was the contributor, nobody else is aware of this. SCC is not being celebrated by her work colleagues tho the pretense is made at the after work party. There is a humorous adventure of the best friends getting acquainted. 😂 this was second belly laugh because the battle over the car ride was well done. SCC finds herself left with TQ and her picking him up by the collar was hilarious. Their mutual disdain is made abundantly clear but the underlying attraction between them is palpable. This makes them resent each other even more. 😝 so while the besties are settling their travel disputes, SCC and TQ find themselves at his place. The unceremonial tossing him on the floor and crawling into his bed is very funny. She wakes up to discover they have literally slept together. 😱🙄 she almost makes her escape but is not quite successful. She turns herself into Su Miao and tells him to eat a good breakfast. Now had she been thinking she would have recalled that Su Miao hadn’t gone to the party so what else could TQ assume when he sees her at the door. His friend’s response “You slept with a woman?!” is priceless The exchange in the elevator between TQ and SCC keeps the misunderstandings going. She notes her hair tie on his wrist and considers him shallow and he reminds her she smells like bbq. Her calling him scum makes me smile because he really does deserve it in his treatment of SCC. While they all are trying to sort their after party experiences SCC is trying to make amends with her colleagues. She is not received well when they hire her and she overhears their reaction as she is bringing in cakes and coffee. She exits and has a pity party with her best friend, but in this instance I am not feeling compassion. She did work her butt off as Su Miao, but SCC has done damn little to deserve an actual job hiring. So when the mean girl of the coworkers drops a boxful of files for her to go through SCC accepts her fate and digs in. She is working late and TQ finds her stuff at a desk and as a master of observation, he notes a hardworking person and that something isn’t adding up with the slacker she has appeared to be. At the end of the episode SCC is noting a bracelet glitch and things are taking a turn for the worse.

Fu already has ammo since he was told Chen specifically sent away XuanQing. Fu has figured something big went down between them and his smile says it all. 😝XuanQing is performing opera and is going even more psycho. Yao has been investigating and they are making progress investigating the sect. The hand signals are a quiet giveaway that they now recognize. They have traced back the funding to a name but not the who. QingLan has joined the party of wanting info about Chunyuan sect. They are responsible for killing her mother. Chen is speculating about Fu not knowing the real culprit is the wife. XuanQing has gone all out seeking Fu’s assist to stay in the capital having no clue what his parentage will cost him. His hatred of Chen runs deep and that is something he and Fu have in common. XuanQing is being forced to impeach his uncle by perjuring himself before the emperor and court. They beat his poor servant and know about the murder and his parentage. He looks like a little king with his chest puffed out claiming vindication over YanYun. Too bad he isn’t even impressing the empty chair.😝 YanYun refuses to defend himself because he has to maintain the reputation of his wife and family. Fu is all smug and pleased with himself and that little twerp nephew kept one page of JinZhao’s letter as evidence. So that one page from her is how he wove his little tale of self delusion. He really has no clue that he has just kicked to the curb the only person on the planet that could have helped him. Chen’s guard has reached JinZhao and she is riding as fast as she can to get back. QingLan has already had a chat with her aunt about the Chunyuan sect. Too bad she missed the prayer session. She knows her aunt is lying and they quietly assess each other. QingLan is going to protect Ye Xian and Ms Fu is going to try to keep her niece quiet. Looks like lots of family laundry is going to be aired. I am very relieved that this is a shift of plans already in place. The emperor was quite angry with Fu’s manipulations and quite aware of the situation except for XuanQing's hatred when he promoted him. He now knows how to handle things while Chen is dealing with the charges. XuanQing has moved on to the Ji house and treating them like captives. He wants Chen to beg or he will reveal whatever secrets are between the Ji’s and YanYun. I am hoping JinZhao’s dagger is not still poisoned. It looked like the one Ye Xian gave her. That slight cut could still be trouble. Nice whip work from YanYun. That insolant brat needs whipped. Fu has him completely deluded not realizing he will be squashed like the cockroach he is once no longer useful. This is building up to the final showdown between Chen and Fu. It is turning into a no holds barred fight where the best strategist wins the court. It’s no wonder that Ms Fu treats QingLan like a daughter since she seems to be instrumental in having her mother killed by the sect. The fight between these two will be on a par with YanYun and XuanQing.

Fu is not happy with Chen and makes it clear that Wang will be shielded. He insincerely tells Chen how important he is to the court and that he should rest. Wang is encouraged to pack up and go home and lay low. Fu looks like practicing for prison in his opera scene.😝They have a brick tossed with the Chunyuan sect symbol. Fu knows Wang can’t be investigated because half of the court will be found guilty. During the night he and wife died of carbon monoxide poisoning because of coal vapors and their servant was murdered. I find I callously don’t really care. Two troublemakers out of the way. 😝Ye Xian is called in to investigate. They learn that the servant was part of the Chunyuan sect. Fu thinks Chen will be home resting so he has the court all convinced Chen was responsible for their deaths and that it must be handled swiftly and without mercy. Chen surprises them by showing up and pointing the finger at Fu for hiding evidence against Wang and Fu counters by getting his own investigators ready to haul Chen out. The young Emperor is obviously out of his element here and is nervous on what to do. He is saved by YeXian showing up. They have marked the servant’s body with the Chunyuan sect symbol to put the blame on the sect. Fu falls into the trap and has to agree and sends Chen home to recuperate rather than prison like he’d planned. Fu’s connection with the sect is via his wife who told him that there would be no markings on the body because their sect forbade it. Fu now knows he’s been played but he already cast judgment. YeXian and Chen are called in to see the young emperor. He is pleased he snuck out, greets JinZhao and teases how his top two men were jealous over her.😂🤣 They take his teasing in stride because they know that both of them are the emperor’s only real defense against the court’s corrupted officials. Fu was originally idealistic but over time he became an ends justifies the means sort of official to expedite his agenda. He will have no issues misleading the young ruler and that is where these two are stepping in. The emperor has his mother agree to promote Chen and he becomes the Emperor’s guard. Fu wants to take 30% of military funds to pay of other projects and Chen disagrees in court. Chen and Ye Xian figure he is confident to take the funds because he has a spy network behind enemy lines. JinZhao is worried but he’d rather fight head on than have plots in the shadows. Chen has shown JinZhao the mecca of files on officials and Zhang did an excellent job of clearing most of them out for Fu. Fu didn’t count on his protege having photographic memory to still keep tabs on his misdeeds. JinZhao has sent her guard to Shanxi to work with Ping on learning more about the Chunyuan cult members. QingLan loves her stubborn man 😂🤣She called the Chens out for involving him in their games. I agree with her but they have to work together to balance the power Fu yields. Things are moving up to the key players and it’s getting real with permanent consequences. This episode was all about taking the gloves off and battling head to head for control of the court. Ye Xian and Chen are in the two most precarious spots, right by the young emperor.

XuanQing is all stirred up in his reinvention of past events. He has quite the scenario built in his head. He has twisted things to make YanYun look like the puppet master behind the scenes tricking JinZhao into marriage by denying her the great mighty XuanQing.😝🙄omg this little runt sure has a narcissistic streak.😝YanYun is about ready to cut his head off and I really wanna cheer him on but JinZhao made him stop. She knows this is blown out of proportion and things did not go to that degree in the past. YanYun believes her but seeks solitude. This was a misstep. She is half his age and needed assurance that her girl crush would be put in perspective to her true feelings. He should have been forthcoming about his rescue and she should have mentioned her past crush when dirtbag nephew came home. However, she had no reason to think he had any feelings for her at all once he failed to show at the bridge. There was no way she could have seen the twisted story in his head because it was so different from the preachy upright scholar she admired. On the political side, Wang knows he’s in trouble for the girl they killed. He is ready to get everybody in trouble and looking into Chen’s dealings in the canal and XuanQing. He is looking for any dirt with canal bandits…or any dirt at all. Guard and servant approach YanYun and inform him of Wang’s investigations so he follows up with a meeting with XuanQing. The nephew is acting the martyr all weak from self denial of meals. He appears most pitiful due to the scheming uncle that has it in for him. 🙄😡 YanYun sets him straight by telling him his engagement has been called off and he is being sent to the provinces — a great demotion for one who placed first in exams. However, there is reason. Wang is looking into XuanQing’s parentage and YanYun is trying to keep it out of the spotlight. His maneuvering of XuanQing’s location has dual benefits - distance from home and protection from Wang. WanXue is the most hurt from all this. Her engagement has been called off and she is experiencing what XuanQing claims, they are forcing her away from her true love. Here I wish JinZhao could have embraced her and shared her own past grief of losing her crush. She could have mentioned that XuanQing is unhinged from his delusions and needs time to grasp reality. That he will hurt her beyond repair if they marry now. Instead she is kinda bailing on her friend tho doing the right thing for her. The guard and servant chatting think YanYun is doing JinZhao a favor by sparing her. This shows their ignorance of JinZhao’s nature giving her the demeanor of most women her age. She is not a wilting violet and had every reason to believe that she and YanYun would face everything together in a united front. Currently she does not feel united with him because he is too busy carrying out his plans and protecting her as he sees fit. This is going to bite him in the ass because the last thing she wants is his distance and oversight. He really is ignorant in love matters. 😝🙄 She has sent him a signed and dated divorce decree that he definitely did not see coming. With this, she is reminding him that she is not at the convenience of his scheduling. They are either together through everything, or not. He needs to put up or shut up because here YanYun is wrong thinking his mastermind tactics are always correct. He thought it best for her to be on the back burner and she reminded him she is not that type of girl. She is woman enough even tho young to let him know that his place is by her side and if he doesn’t agree then she is better off solo. Damn this episode gives you whiplash.😂🤣This segues to the tea party at her restaurant and all the top ladies are showing up at the door. Ms Wang is doing her best to annoy and JinZhao is making things go well in spite of her. This changes when news arrives that YanYun had been ambushed and is injured. Ms Wang still isn’t prudent enough to just smirk and keep her mouth shut. She just has to go for one more dig and JinZhao slaps her following up with a pinch that if her husband comes to harm because of her she will pay with her life. Here she shows her mirror image of YeXian.👏🏻👏🏻 She sees the doctor’s bowls dealing with his wounds as she enters. She is collapsing herself but gets to his side and he is too cold and unconscious. At the Wang house he denies trying to assassinate Chen but looks guilty as hell when he learns one of his miscreant spies is missing. What I wanna know is if Fu is so damn smart, why is this oaf his right hand man? 😝 hahaha this is usually man trick to shut up his woman 😝😝 funny to see the woman shut up the man by kissing. 👏🏻😂 She is good at getting to the heart of the matter and realizes much better than him that love and reason don’t go hand in hand. So….Chen is framing Wang and waiting to see the fallout from the ambush. He pushed things to the edge because he wanted to die after receiving divorce decree. They were just making up when Fu and doc show up. 🙄Wow. Fu’s empathy is 🤬The doc just said the wound missed his heart by an inch and Fu’s like…good thing nothing serious. 😝😡 This politician for the people chided Chen for brooding about the grain swap and called him petty for caring for 100k people. 🤬🤬the conversation shifts from assassination attempt to shoddy workmanship on canal borders. Right when he condemns Wang’s people for going too far Chen drops the other shoe that 9 were under his name while 6 were under Wang’s. That was quite a look Fu had when the episode ended. I think he was wanting to add to that wound on Chen’s chest and move it over. Things are heating up now and it’s going to be a wild ride to see how these politicians counter maneuver their own misdeeds. They better give our couple some makeup time while he is recuperating. I also want this drama to give WanXue a good ending. Her only crime was loving somebody wholeheartedly. And I want some happy news with Lan and Mu wiping out the bad wedding vibes XuanQing left. We need some happy times dammit. 😝

Xu and XiGuang have a candid conversation as they walk back to campus. He is still an ass in his responses but tactless candor is his main form of speech. He wants to know why she didn’t use the references he found for her and she tries to put it in academic terms for him rather than trying to make him understand the emotional reasons. As they walk he realizes the girl beside him isn’t or ever will be his girl. He has fears about Rong and asks her opinion. I gotta grin when she says he looks best with shorter hair and wearing white. As they part ways she calls his name and waves — letting go of the what might have been to leave as a fond memory at the cusp of adulthood. They both realize their paths may never cross again and they are both ok with it. Her cousin then shows up to take her in a worldwide campus quest. They have a sibling like conversation and it is very sweet. I really like their relationship and hope he stays an integral part of the drama. When she gets back she has another candid conversation, but this time is with her mother. They are discussing her job opportunities and it is clear that Shengyuan has been the only solid offer or her dad’s offer of becoming his successor. I think she wishes there was a third option. Her father and the Wuxi board members collectively resent Lin for his candidness that their best move would be to focus on their product and improving it. Her dad is not happy their project was blocked by him and he has made it clear to XiGuang he doesn’t want her working for them. She does not want to work for her dad and tells him she will decide after talking to mom. Her mom doesn’t want XiGuang in the middle of family squabbles and encourages her to take the job she earned on her own. That maybe when she was older and more business savvy they could reassess if her best interest would be to work for the family company or not. So now Xu and XiGuang find themselves at the same company but in very different circles. Lin and Xu get reacquainted at a meeting and Lin corners him about XiGuang. Xu tells him she spent time abroad. So at this point neither know she has reluctantly changed her mind and getting ready to join them. I am glad they did not have her run into Rong immediately. Her work and interview status is still unknown. XiGuang is introduced to her desk and supervisor in finance dept. Her new roommates seem friendly. They are getting introduced to the different aspects of their jobs. The demand to toss the broken scales.😂🤣 They commiserate during meals and are gossiping about the new hottie boss that’s arriving. The one confirms it’s Lin, but none of them have ever seen him. Xi Guang totally bursts their bubble when she suggests that since he was a doctor first, isn’t it most likely he’s middle aged? 🤣😂They are back in room watching a drama and missing the last episode. XiGuang loses rock/paper/scissors to run to office computer to download the episode. She sees a possible connection problem and is under her desk checking cables. While she is doing this the lights come on and she sees tall dark and handsome in front of her. She goes with I’ve not seen you before do you work here? How did you get in? Seems he has a resting scowl face.😂🤣

Most in comments hate Chu’s character. I agree he is completely delusional where He Yan is concerned, but as a politician for the people, he is better than most of them. He had planned on giving He Yan medicine for her wounds to find her and Ciao Jue together under prayer tree. So he rethinks this and doesn’t. He wisely goes to emperor first. He gets recognition for assisting with supplies to Rundu. He knows there was collusion with Wutuo, but also knows evidence is required, so he pleads that He RuFei ‘may’ have done the best he could with the number against him. As a result of his actions and intel, the emperor promotes him to a level 4 magistrate. Prior to leaving Rundu, he meets with He Yan and Xiao Jue. She even invites him to accompany them to capital and he politely, and wisely, declines. Xiao Jue pointed out where he or his guard specifically hindered their mission with Chai Anxi. He also points out where Chu was helpful and eased the way. Chu continues to be one whose help cost equals hurt cost. He is truly a mixed bag and there will never be love lost between them where He Yan is concerned. Chu will always know that Xiao Jue is always first in her heart. When Chu has such a capable warrior woman that loves him by his side. It is sad she does not inspire him or get his affection. He is truly blind to the treasure he already has. He RuFei is pretty much foaming at the mouth declaring how capable he is, The entire world knows who the fake General is and he cannot grasp his own inadequacies and failures as being his fault. He curses the air she breathes and cannot wait for an opportunity to settle the score. Which is why the irony is not lost when he begs at Xu’s feet like a recalcitrant schoolboy to be helped and forgiven. Here he receives the same shoulder pat he gives to his spoiled, petty daughter. These two children of his deserve each other.😝 Chu wisely did not pay respects to his mentor until after he had received promotion and notice from emperor. Xu didn’t have bracelet in hand today because he knows too many watching. Chu tells him what he told the emperor and when prodded, did not refer to Wutuo collusion, but He RuFei’s miscalculation to try to kill Xiao Jue. This is also true, but not the root of the treason. Xu is pacified and refers him to daughter. This time, Chu is more truthful with her and refuses any outings. He has found his light and she isn’t a glimmer. I like that he makes his atrocious family put his mother’s memorial in ancestral hall and they are highly encouraged to pay her homage regularly.😂😝 He wants to introduce He Yan to her, which I would find honorable if kept in friend or sister zone category. I think even she would agree with these conditions. I like the women of Rundu forming a textile shop to make a living and bring honor to the city. This is a good future for them. I am curious what was in the letter He Yan left to be read after they left? Did she tell Li he had met his real general? Yan He says goodbye to his friends and heads for home to greet his wife and family. I don’t think he knows the emperor is aware of his actions yet, but unlike many, he does what needs done because it’s his job. He didn’t go to gain the emperor’s ear. Everything is set up for visit to capital. He RuFei is plotting for them to never arrive.
