Qian Fei is still put out the YiFei’s ex thought he couldn’t be interested in her type. When she talks to engaged friends her friend reminds her how she used to be pre Wang and they plan on a shopping g trip. She tells Qian Fei to consider it a career investment rather than emptying her pockets. The pancake scene was very cute🤣 He is absolutely shameless in the extra chores he gets out of her. He made Qian Fei tote a box of books to his office from the front desk, but he also had her check it against his reading list so she could copy it and have her own reference library. He then cons her into cleaning his room and doing his laundry because he had to wash vegetables. 🤣😝 she finally outsmarts him by having a chore list with cost per chore and for him to give it to her in cash. He still weaseled out of paying for the meal prior to eating.😝Wang is in the phone with his parents in his apartment upgrade. He has made no mention of his breakup so his mother has no clue Qian Fei was stuck with deposit for the wedding venue she wanted. When nMs Liao wants to know if he cooked for his ex, he realized he never bothered. He tied her shoelaces and that seems to be it.😝I guess he wanted a higher maintenance gal to do things for. He hopefully feels a bit ashamed. With the AI face thing, we can’t really get how the original actor reacted. He finds out via txt from his dad that his mom is in bad shape and her care will be expensive. After the washer mishap, Qian Fei asked YiFei to move out because she was just too tired to deal with him any more. He shamelessly makes up a poor kid’s story and pretends deep depression. She moves along to prices of chores rather than kicking him out. The episode ends with Qian Fei’s friend getting cut from the project unless he can find an investor. I think next episode the new gf will tell him Wang’s ex is why. This episode was more filler setting the scene for project development.

The court is finally bringing up charges for the Marquis. He could possibly wrangle out of the attempted murders by claiming zealots responsible. But the weapons dealings, bribes accepted and confession from his supposedly dead confidante is irrefutable proof. The Duke promises to investigate and uphold justice. Before the dust settles, Ye Li comes out with the edict and the Duke verifies it’s the Emperor’s handwriting. It stated the general was to come home to defend the throne. Prince Ding makes three petitions before them. To prosecute the Marquis for his weapon dealings, to clear his brother’s name, and to exonerate the 30k souls of cavalry unit that were killed or charged falsely for desertion. Before Empress dowager could say a word her son granted the request. All the misdeeds are going to be aired and the truth will set the right ones free. Feng is waiting at the assigned place with her favorite flower and she has not come. He sees the funeral procession go by but doesn’t think anything of it. He loves a merchant so none of the royal delegation matter to him. Ye Li’s drawing reveals the truth. He now knows who she really is. He misses the boat with her entourage heading for Cangbai and tosses some flowers after her hoping she sees them. I was really hoping she faked her death but it doesn’t seem to be so. Ye Li has fallen ill because she swallowed MingXi’s hairpin to cough up blood in prison. She has a conversation with QingShuang. They have not told Xiu Yao her mother;s role with the edict and she fears being kicked out of the palace once she does. She loves Prince Ding and hopes he will stand by her. They agree to wait til all the trial proceedings are over before telling him. Our couple go fishing to unwind after all the stress and separation. While working at the Shende Shop MingXi notes someone looking for him. Ye Li and Fei Bai have a chat about all the proceedings. He worries about her place with Prince Ding when her mother;s news comes to light. She promises that the Prince will stay by her side and she is content keeping her promise to his brother. He then has battle scars from a fight with Lady Yusheng. She had made a robe for another Gu Qin player and he tried it on. He offered payment and then support for them as a couple. The ijit.🙄Both were angry and she left with her friend for a performance. MingXi finds his brother being punished by Prince Li. There is the cursed Su Zhuidie.😡🤬 seems there is survival history with her and the brothers. MingXi has the right of it. I hope he disentangles himself from this group. Prince Li won’t make it easy, but he might have treated MingXi better if he saw how Ye Li was defended by him. 😝This episode left on a sour note. The wrong woman from Cangbai is still alive.🤬

The strategic planning team seemed like the company joke at the beginning of episode. But once it was found out who had lithium rights in Yulivia, they became the company savior. Eldest sis finally found out she did not have the expected backing and very reluctantly spent 4 billion for the lithium plus the stocks promised. First part of episode was lighthearted with the three plus current interim chairman rejoicing at beating the twins. Gma finally acted like a gma and the families could eat what was offered or leave.👏🏻 The slap the eldest daughter had coming since a bratty teen was satisfying to see.👏🏻 she knows without help she can’t be chairman and Hwang said clearly he wouldn’t because of his leg. He is going to back youngest daughter to the end. His gma disappeared from the facility and ended up at Hwang’s place. She had him a huge meal repaired and cried for him that he could no longer play soccer. She reminded him that he had a duty to Hwang that he’d been ignoring. Eldest girl has lost her mind. She is bargaining with sis in law’s dad to get chairman. His daughter gets to be president of trading instead of her brother. She bargains for him to get rid of both siblings and her dad. Her brother hears in adjacent room, but sis already had plans to set him up. She records him yelling at her and pretends he kidnapped her. She reveals his slush funds and she acts like she is a fearful victim. She absolutely has no shame. Stepmom knows they messed up indulging them when young and can save the grandkids but the twins….the son has a chance at redemption but the daughter is heinous. The daughter in law is a calmer version of eldest but she is as ruthless. When he called out to his son and his son apologized. He knew he was talking to dad. Hwang collapses shortly after because chairman is waking up. They had a flashback of Casy in the states missing home. Dad and his guard handled the bullies.😂🤣 This proves there was a soft side to the chairman. I hope they have a legal team to help out the son. He’s messed up but it was because he refused to see what his dad had always said about his bride choice. He is greedy, self indulgent and lazy but he’s still redeemable. It is going to be a whole new world when Hwang wakes up in an old body…or they switch souls back however this plays out when both conscious. This show has gone dark with company tier climbing. It’s still an interesting watch.

Yi Fei finds her sleeping at work and looks over her plan. She wakes up in time for meeting to find all her whiteboards cleaned. She is starting to apologize when she’s informed YiFei had already passed the report and here was her copy. She is then questioned about specific parts and her presentation begins. Right after she’s given busy work for Fang and YiFei calls her up to the rooftop. He explains that dealing with people doesn’t give you the same luxury as dealing with numbers. He admits to partially using her abilities, but he goes on to tell her if she doesn’t back up her abilities with confidence and have a go getter attitude she will never be recognized. She finally has a chat with Ms Fang and congratulated for finally speaking up for herself. She now gets to work on the prospectus and be with the inner team that also deals with the financials. Yi Fei did not tell Qian Fei he had a far more detailed fixit plan ready. He wanted her to bask in some success. I like his impromptu poem that became a rally cry before heading back. I also liked her telling Wang to grow up and act professional without worrying about gossip. Cheng greets Dang Yu at the door and she agrees to go out with him after being embarrassed by colleagues. He tells her about himself and she politely and straightforwardly tells him confession heard and rejected. She said dinner was on her and have it packed up to eat with his mom. Considering his actions and behavior there is no sympathy for him. He needs to see through her eyes how obnoxious his behavior has been and be grateful no police reports filed. His parents sneak into his phone and that’s just as creepy. They don’t recognize personal boundaries amongst themselves, much less the general public. I fear Qian Fei’s engaged friends might be some collateral damage to fix Shanlifang’s poor credit. Qian Fei tried to warn him his ex would be coming but he shooed her away til after meeting. When meeting her they barely touched hands and acted like strangers. His presentation was flawless and Qian Fei noted he always paused at best angles for admiring. 😂🤣 They de stress playing cards when ex gf starts txting. YiFei sends a preposterous response to shut her up but that’s when she tells Qian Fei he would never like a girl like her. As if. She’s probably bored with her Milan man and missing new handbags. If she knew how frugally YiFei has been living, she would not wonder at him not mentioning her. He likes the smart girl with attitude who thinks wasting money is a crime. It will be very interesting to see all 6 at the same table as the project continues. 🫣😬😂

Ye Li is convinced her assassin/guard is not with his brothers plans but is a witness to them. She fakes spitting up blood to get a message out to Gu Zheng to keep watch over Su Zuidie. She won’t tell the Duke what she knows for now because nobody can be trusted. Prince Ding’s group is coming home with prisoner when they find a secret messenger. He does not know YeLi is charged with the murder, but he is well aware of what happens if even a single message gets through to Cangbai. This is actually the first bit of good new for Dachu. The right man is in the right place. Su ZuiDie boldly goes to Marquis and gives him an offer she thinks he can’t refuse. Her smug confidant speech is just galling. He will comply because she has barely scratched the surface about what she know of the weapon transactions. It makes no sense to give the enemy the building plans of your best weapons but Cangbai warriors are already trained in how to use and manufacture them before Dachu does. 🤬Consort Qin is leaving the palace to care for her father. She is done being the pawn. When asked if Princess Ding was the murderer, her response was if the real murderer found she was not, but if not found she would have to be. Within the palace walls, truth did not matter. As to her ‘sister’ missing her, she pointed to the wisteria which had replaced Emperor’s crabapple blossoms. Out with the old, in with the new. Now that she has given away the edict, she can live. I really want to see her toss that orchid out of the carriage. 😝Uncle Wen has all the collected works and papers of XianKun to give to her as she leaves. She tells him to burn them all. I was hoping here that the orchid would top the pyre of his work, but she kept it or has other plans for it. One of the Marquis’ zealots was ready to kill Ye Li. Her assassin says she knows martial arts and to do something. She is not channeling master Zhu this time and it’s the second time he is trying to figure out what’s going on. Fei Bei knows and feels responsible for telling her he was at the school. Her mind could not conjure him when he’s up on the mountain. He realizes his mistake too late. Fortunately the assassin got a couple good hits in. Right when help finally arrived he killed himself first. Ye Li talks the Duke into finding the killer herself. He accepted that she had nowhere to go and it was find the truth or die. So she Mets up with Su Zuidie who is annoyed the Marquis didn’t take care of her. She boldly outlines all her plans and why. She tossed Ye Li and Xiu Yao in the mix just because they had allegiance to the Empress dowager. Too bad she didn’t rattle off all the Marquis’ misdeeds as well. She then found herself encircled by guards and the prime investigator. Good job Princess Ding. 🥳👏🏻 The Marquis is surprised to see his son and finds out he is being used as leverage. He now knows to tread carefully. The Empress dowager is pondering things and chatting with her servant. I am wondering if she’s starting to worry again about out with the old and in with the new. Now if Prince Ding is successful with his part, war is definitely delayed and maybe thwarted. And best news for assassin….he has a guaranteed job at Shende shop.😂🤣 The court found Su Zuidie guilty and ordered her to be escorted back to Cangbai for prosecution. The general actually apologized for his crappy behavior in the beginning and for being duped by his own people in the conspiracy. Ye Li wants to bring up charges for the attempted murder in prison. Bathe prior prisoner and her attack were both by Marquis’ henchman. He already knows the ax is falling. Whether he gets to dodge it remains to be seen. I would really like to see Feng get a happy ending and the princess not be really dead. It is not likely, but for now I can hope it was planned to catch Cangbai rebels. Hoping Ye Li and Xiu Yao get together soon.

At the fire inspection gamer Cheng gets away to track down his auntie spy and tell her to stop it. Turns out it’s his mom.😂 They actually have a very cute moment and it’s clear that the son takes after his mom with the spying ways. This I enjoyed watching. I know it’s supposed to be cute and funny how he’s stalking her, but it really isn’t. He’s a very sweet character that is annoying the hell outa me rather than entertaining me. When he tells his mom he knows what he’s doing I can only roll my eyes.😝🙄He is now jeopardizing his job because he’s supposed to be writing the fire safety inspection report for the team and he hasn’t paid one bit of attention to any of it. He’s not 16 and shouldn’t be interrupting his boss’ meeting to chat with his mom when it’s not an emergency. The elevator scene is funny because now YiFei looks for excuses to keep the door open for her. His colleague has reason to be confused. YiFei’s jealousy that his friend is helping his assistant is priceless.🤣😂 His interjections are very similar to his buddy Cheng’s they do not go over well. He is so smooth with business chat and so uncool with his flirting lines. 😝His frustrated dance when alone in the elevator was deserved. 🤣😂 His friend again does a sweet thing with bad results. He knows his crush is hungry and orders food for her. But she’s playing live online and doesn’t appreciate the fan interruption. She has no clue he likes her and thinks he is an overzealous fan that doesn’t have boundaries. Luckily she respects her friend and doesn’t want to cause her roomie embarrassment so she agrees not to call the police this time. When he tells YiFei, he thinks it’s a joke but really has no clue what his friend has been doing or he would have given him different counsel. Like QUIT STALKING.😝Cheng has a chat with his parents and has them thinking he will be getting a promotion. When Yi Fei gets home there is a do not disturb sign in Qian Fei’s door because she is studying. Ms Fang suggests she’s been used by YiFei and she is being an ijit and believing her. He didn’t tell her to shut up but her sure didn’t tell her to soout all that at the meeting. That was in her about Wang. He has done nothing but encourage her and she wants to see through Fang’s bias. I am really annoyed with her because he has made his feelings clear about Fang from the start, but never once discouraged her from working for her. He even assisted with report to get Fang’s attention. He called her to be his assistant to take some of the heat off for her after outburst and minimize the ostracizing the group was doing with her. If she would just read the room it’s pretty damn clear. But for now, she can’t take her idol glasses off. I still get mixed vibes from Fang. She is a hard task master and I still can’t decide if she’s trying to mentor or take advantage of smarts and then kick underling to curb. It’s only 50/50 that she would not do the latter. So now Cheng is trying a new approach….death by delivery 🤣😂 Track guy had good reason to laugh but it’s gonna cost him. His parents deserve the shock for taking his phone.😂😝 Qian Fei took up the challenge to find a solution. She left work to go to Shanlifang conference room to figure out the books. YiFei knows something is wrong but hasn’t had a chance to chat to figure out why. He should have known to check the office first. 😝Qian Fei has created a plan for them and sent to Fang. Yi Fei sees her plan but can’t figure out her change in attitude. Qian Fei has converged the work ethics of Fang and YiFei as her new armor. This will help when dealing with Wang but she is giving YiFei a huge shield and cold attitude. She has chosen to be Fang’s blade. 🙄🫣

Chengtu and Sriyada are getting married. They are running late but arrive just in time after Sriyada charmed the man they bumped cars with into forgiving them for a wedding gift.🤣Chengtu’s mom wants more jewelry and different food but the son is pretty set on the couple getting the say rather than the parents. I have not seen a Thai wedding ceremony before and it was beautiful. I especially liked the blessings from the parents. Sriyada is teased relentlessly over not being able to cook—at all. However, she wants to change this and she calls her mother in law to teach her a simple dish her husband would like. She is walked through the shopping trip and all the prep work to finish up with pork skewers. Her neighbor helps her with the sticky rice and after marinating all night she has them ready right when he wakes up. He is a bit overwhelmed from childhood memories when his family was altogether. He thinks his mom bullied her and she confessed she called to learn. Her mom has already passed, so she called her other mom that is living. She gently encourages him to be close to his mother because it is time you can’t get back when they’re gone. This was a very good introduction to meet the family and to start off Sriyada’s cooking adventure. They also include the recipe directions at the end so viewers can enjoy the dish she made. I really enjoyed the thoughtfulness of family along with the cooking tips.

At the beginning of the episode Xiu Yao and He Li have sweet couple time. After a nap she makes him bbq. He says sweet husband words and lets her know others may consider Ms Su beautiful, but that for him, no other woman existed that could outshine her. 🥰 I think he passed her exam.😁 Empress dowager and consort chat about XianKun. The consort tells her how much she believes in her master and her. There is something just a bit off with her look and immediately handing off the gift without really looking at it. She then has a chat with her son who is annoyed with reading worthless stories based in superstition. His mother teaches him with examples that superstition can be used to one’s advantage if spun correctly. Xiu Yao tells Ye Li he has to leave the capital for 4-5 days because Jin Chang is actually alive and he is gathering evidence. They learned an old Marquis’ confidante that was supposedly executed is actually nearby and handling weapon smuggling so Xiu Yao and others head out to capture him while they wait for Qin to become conscious. Ye Li proved to her uncle and consort that their master was a fake with the disappearing dragon trick. She pointed out celestial events from his time and repeated them. Her uncle wanted to know her purpose and it was that she’d promised general Wen and her mother she would clear the Ding name. She is not wavering from that objective. There is a prison scene where the consort is told to get the edict and hide it without the Empress dowager ever knowing she had it. That it implicated the Empress dowager, Marquis and Ding family. She was to keep it safe because one day it could save her. because there will be a day it saves her life iFeng the spy is happy because his girl will meet him in seven days. She had been married and she doubted his interest if he knew her past. Once that was cleared up Feng was singing in the rain happy to claim the woman he loved. Wait til he finds out she is the visiting princess. 😁 Ms Su enters a shop where they speak in code and she enters a secret room to meet with Han Mingyue. They are plotting to cause trouble between Cangbai and Dachu so the peace talks will fail. He is jealous of her past sweetheart Prince but she says he’s her enemy. The Empress dowager is reading and handed a book of hibiscus poems. When the words on a leaf are read she wants it shut. and when another was passing her the poems about hibiscus, she demanded it to be shut. The consort chats with the Empress dowager and the reminisce about less happy days when the Empress mistreated them. XianKun rescued her and introduced her to Empress dowager and assured the consort that if she stayed by her side, her life would be happy and blessed. She asked about Empress Dowager’s childhood name and it is Furong. (Hibiscus) She leans in the Empress dowager and what should be a touching scene doesn’t feel like it. The Empress dowager told her to leave the past in the past and that the way things are now is the present and future. In the preview they have set up the princess and Ye Li. It is so obvious the dagger is placed in Ye Li’s hand.😝😡

One surprising thing this episode was Ms Liao’s opinion of account discrepancy being brought to light at project meeting. She was all for improprieties being taken care of before she took over company. She had a very different outlook than her dad and a surprisingly good opinion of Qian Fei’s capabilities. She has read the room far more correctly than her bf because he bought into the rumor her dad shared and believes Qian Fei would be that petty professionally. Her abrupt exposure of his work faults does make his case to go there, but they had dated for years and had wedding plans. His only grief with her was her never ending acts of kindness. He should recognize bs when he hears it where she’s concerned.😝 I am not sure if her colleague tried to set her up when sending her to find three harder to get meds. He hollered at her because he knew they were expecting it. It is kinda funny that Ms Fang knew where the sushi came from and jumped to her own conclusions about Qian Fei. I’m disappointed in her character because I didn’t think she was so shallow a mentor/boss. 😝 I think YiFei got a kick out of her enjoyment and laughed internally when her mouth is overstuffed with food denying hunger.🤣😂 It is fun watching them bargain over chores. He gets out of the dishes to be the driver. Ms Fang is also noting that. Her bias has to be because of the photo, but if she’s not checking up on everybody, she should keep her nose out of Qian Fei’s business. She was the only one for both reports that had anything valid to say.😝🙄 I might have to call gamer guy the failure to launch son.🤣😂He gets woke up by security guard with chocolate smears on his face and told no longer welcome in the building without an appointment. Even his mom has heard about his banishment from a relative on cleaning staff. He already has a solution by volunteering to check fire safety in their building. Fortunately for Qian Fei’s friend, he’s not on her floor. He looked so crestfallen as he watched her take inspection group while he had to continue up. He needs to stop listening to YiFei because he’s getting all the wrong advice. Qian Fein found in her studies that YiFei worked out some data that was used as a model for teaching. She is surprised and he gained some cool points for that. Which he immediately tossed away with his taunt to her pretending to be adding data. 😂 I think Mr Liao has the right estimation of her daughter’s new bf. He is putting on the pretense of providing opportunities and pointed out how well Qian Fei took advantage of. Since he doesn’t know her, he spread the rumor she used any means necessary to show up somebody rather than due diligence from hard work. I think if he realized all the debt Wang left Qian Fei, he would have bought him a one way ticket to anywhere else on the planet to be gone. 😝Yi Fei needs to give Qian Fei a real job and not this crap that makes Ms Fang keep judging her. 😝🙄Yi Fei was having to do some damage control to get his company back into better graces. Here is rich boy attitude serves him well.

Qian Fei was given her orders for the meeting. To talk as little as possible and to listen and learn. She would have been fine with that but to see Ms Liao and her ex walk in the room was a bit overwhelming for her. He was as shocked as she was. Unfortunately a colleague told her to toast Mr Wang. YiFei to,d her she didn’t have to, but she was determined to get it all over with. She not only toasted him but Ms Liao. Ms Fang was very unhappy and YiFei tried to bail her out by presenting tea toasts since still working. Qian Fei would not listen and downed three glasses. She then started off the meeting questioning why their accounts didn’t match up and did Mr Wang have an answer. Here Yi Fei again tries to bail her out and said it was all to be discussed at the meeting after the meal anyways. Ms Fang further points it to his company and that Qian Fei was working for him. In another scene gamer friend is waiting for the receptionist to get off work so he can eat with her. He is so extra and not in a good way. He doesn’t have mean intent at all but his actions come across as aggressive and stalker ish. He has waited half the day and now that it’s almost time for him to get noticed and share food, a security guard shows his pic to her and says she can exit the back door instead of he bothered her…so she did and should have. I can’t sympathize with him when he acts the way he does and can’t say lack of experience excuses him. Qian Fei is loudly yelled at by Ms Fang and rescued by Yi Fei. She did not start her OCD cleaning thing til she was meeting with them after a chat with a colleague. Maybe this is her de stresser for things that makes her ill at ease. Yi Fei is not as smooth as he fancies himself but did get the girl anyways lol So no Qian Fei is his assistant at work and he is her ‘master’ at home. 🤣😂 He took great joy with reminding her. 🤣 When cornered about knowing her ex would be there he challenged her if she would have worked so hard to get on Ms Fang’s team had she known. He told her work should matter more because it never disappointed. 🤣 Her ex and Ms Liao were cozy and they shared words personally and professionally. She has to accept that the fond memories of him with her would be traits he would now give others. She is not as over him as she says, but maybe this push will steel her up with dealing with him at the office. Qian Fei’s friends treat her to a meal and her friend uses the same argument YiFei did. She can take it better from this source and she finally gets to hear about their engagement. Yi Fei finds dinner in the fridge and he even checks with her if she’s eaten. He gleefully heats it up while she’s out with friends. Qian Fei mentioned to her friend that his company accounts are being viewed and she noted they did not look good. She also encouraged him that if they were kept by the hotel anyways, that meant they were valued. Qian Fei deserves a good day, but her temper has her on bad footing now with everybody but YiFei. He won’t mind this situation nearly as much as she will. I’m glad this encounter is over with and story can move along rather than the drama.

Ms Fang has rehired Qian Fei but wants her to be gopher rather than investigator. She is welcomed back by her colleagues that liked her doing the bulk of the work and mean girl already making a scene that Qian Fei uses people to get ahead. As if.😝🙄 Yi Fei has pretended contract to get a grown up bed. 🤣 Gamer friend wants a date with his favorite bartender but is misunderstood that he likes Qian Fei and wants back up from the best friends. Qian Fei’s closet. 🤣😂The only outfit her friend found suitable was gifted to her. 🤣😂 It was highly recommended to get rid of Barbie and dragonfruit colors. 😂 She thinks her friend is referring to YiFei who pretends to be slighted when proven innocent. Qian Fei goes very casually and YiFei needs to toss the leather.🤣😂 Her engaged friend keeps getting warned that she should tell Qian Fei her ex is also working on the project but she keeps putting it off and thinks she can smooth things over with Qian Fei easily. At the double date, gamer friend finds out his idol is the girl he has a crush on. He is too extra being grabby with phones and arms. He is a decent guy but he really doesn’t respect boundaries where women are concerned and he should be glad police weren’t called. He makes a big scene outside and she agrees to go with him to shut him up.😝The other two are left at the table and Qian Fei wants YiFei to move out. She has a valid point but the timing after everything he’s done for her was not good. He has a right to feel used and offended. He points out he doesn’t have the funds and she changes tactics after he showed her his accounts. I can’t wait to see her plans of teaching him budgeting 101 to get him out ASAP.🤣 He realizes he sees her as pretty and that his buddy who’s been teasing him for days about liking her is being proved right. Next episode Qian Fei finds out about her ex and blasts her friends that knew about it. YiFei bargains with Ms Fang to have Qian Fei tagged as his assistant with her blessing. I want Qian Fei to get some recognition that isn’t her being a whistleblower for other’s missteps. It’s still a fun watch. The couples are cute and the story flows nicely.

The Marquis asks Qin to kill the official in jail. He tells him a kind story and the poor kid believes it all. He did sneak in and kill the prisoner , but the Marquis’ guard killed him. He was left by a wall like garbage covered with a cloth. His ‘only’ son heard what his father said and tried to warn Qin. He was spalled at what his father did. What is surprising is that there is a heart in there that can express true concern. Ye Li gets called away after her shop closes and ends up being part of a fight in the brothel. Her assassin guard refuses to leave her til he repays two lives. I actually like him and hope he has a good end in this story in spite of his area of expertise. The Empress Dowager and her guard are discussing the Marquis. She tells her guard that killing his own son meant he was beyond redemption. He comes and admits fault for his misdeeds but it’s wrongdoing groveling repeat too many times. Her let bygones be bygones doesn’t go over well with him. It seems he saw this son as a last remnant of east palace and chose to cut ties—permanently. What disgusts me most about him is he tries to absolve himself from the actual deeds by having others do his dirty work. A Marquis should have military experience and he did not challenge the Cangbai general, he lets his son get blood on his hands because he is not the ‘only’ son. He has such a trail of blood and corruption claiming every last bit was for his Empress dowager. 😝He knows how to work the court system and how to shut up enemies, but he didn’t watch over his own house and that’s going to finish him off. Su Zuidi has infiltrated the palace. Whether serving the princess or trying to gain feelings from Prince Ding is still to be determined.🧐 The story the Prince recounted and the story the steward told Ye Li are polar about the status of her family members. They are low key but have homes and jobs so she is lying through her teeth and Ye Li well aware. Her motives will hopefully show soon to get her out of their home. That box of letters is a Pandora’s box Xiu Yao wants to look through. He even browsed the outer envelopes but has yet to read them. I also wonder if Ning read them before sending them over. I think she still wants help from Ye Li to find JingLi and hoping these are clues. Xiu Yao was angry at her late return and they had an adult disagreement. He told her why he was grieved and she responded directly to his misgivings. The end result was marriage consummation. 🥰🤣 The next day when he woke with her gone, she had left him a note as to her whereabouts. Mutual respect goes a long way to keep trust and peace in the home. The episode ends with her memory of trying to see the Prince after he rescued her. She went to the location where he was supposed to be and nobody was there. She stops reminiscing to see her smiling husband heading her way. I truly love how he meets her eye level when she is seated. He is every bit the adoring husband before her. With that said I liked his teasing answer to her question. 🤣😂 They enter her shop as the episode ends. Preview shows Su Zuidi repaying the drunkard and Marquis’ miscreant son asking dear old dad if he is next on the kill roster. Long wait til tomorrow. 😭

YiFei messed up scaring QianFei and grabbing the wheel. It isn’t surprising they went off-road. After the scary stories they went for exercising to keep warm. Old man therapy🤣😂 They play like kids and go back in car to sleep. They get rescued by a local farmer and when driving to station Qian Fei gets email with the data they needed. Their bit of kindness was rewarded. She heads home to study data and YiFei is tricked into thinks his dad hurt. He goes home to find his dad had a barely sprained ankle.😝 He is talked into lunch and chided for being so quiet. He reminds Yi Fein reminds his dad he was just following dad’s rules. Father and son chats about business and YiFei makes it clear he wants to make his own company. He is also told Liao is trying to poach his sr staff. Yi Fei learns his dad keeps tabs on his son to be sure he’s doing ok. And then it’s about getting married. His dad is glad the model is out of the picture and he wants YiFei to find a nice girl to have a family with. The scene shifts to the bday banquet and this father wanted to know why the dishes were similar. His daughter has meticulously chosen them for him. Her new bf presents the dad with a golf glove. It is clear he has no clue what he gave when asked why only one.😝🙄While daughter is off making more arrangements dad brings bf aside and gives him a chat about sincerity. This guy, I think there might be a spine in him somewhere, but I fail to see what he offers that had two intelligent capable women fall in love with him. 🧐 So when gf is congratulating him on how well her father thinks of him and is giving him a special project he has to wonder what’s up. His gf thinks she has dad so wrapped around her finger that he agrees with every decision she makes. It is looking like bf will be good candidate for fall guy. Yi Fei snags some tea from his dad and heads back to apartment. There he saw that Qian Fei made some white mushroom soup as a comforting dish to strengthen him as he watched over his dad. He is touched by the gesture and is not telling her his dad’s a big faker. While she’s taking a break from working on her report he helps himself to her fried rice and then polishes her report. He considered that recompense for the meal. He is funny demanding tea eggs. I looked up da hong pao tea because I’m not very knowledgeable about tea. The mother plant is centuries old and it’s known for being one of the most expensive teas in the world. Qian Fei is a foodie and wanted to know if it was the real thing and of course YiFei acknowledged it with his sleepy grumpy voice.🤣😂 It is cute and funny that both want pictures with the tea eggs. 🤣 Ms Fang, I am not sure what I think of her. She thinks she is blackmailing YiFei for her sake and he accepts she won’t hire Qian Fei without freedom from Liao backlash. when he is willing to throw his company under the bus to protect her. I think he wants Qian Fei to really see the people she wants to work for and leave of her own volition. Funny how Ms Fang was willing to get Qian Fei on board when she was assured she’d get no backlash for finding the fraudulent accounts. She is hardly a worthy mentor.😝That is why mean girl office worker thinks she can get her own way. Ms Fang won’t rock the boat to do the right thing. 😝 Qian Fei is getting the call she’s been wanting but I’m not looking forward to how this will pan out for her.

The visiting princess is spy Feng’s penpal. She snuck out to visit him and had a decoy in the carriage. The Marquis had Prince Ding part of banquet to have him wait at the gate extra hours by giving them the wrong time and having him confronted by the general that injured his leg. Home team is making a bad impression. The scholar is an arrogant ass and Ye Li pretty straightforwardly said as much. The princess is amused by her and Empress Dowager was pleased with her words. The visiting general wants martial arts challenges and kicking the behinds of home team. The first deserved it as he was a braggart of his military prowess looking down on Xiu Yao. I was glad the general told him he wasn’t half the fighter his father was. The second didn’t fare much better. An emergency letter arrives that Cangbai colluded with Zhang HengYuan to try to kill Zhong Xingtong for the Marquis.The Emperor tells the prince to wait and speak with him. It looks like next episode Ye Li will put General in his place and Prince Ding will finally get to kick some ass. His wife will be quite proud.

Yi Fei gets to see the same graphs from Qian Fei’s report. Ms Fang changed it up by wanting his company to sign a contract of responsibility. This would leave his firm holding the bag for anything inappropriately handled in accounting. She is hoping to out fraudulent party, win the account and have Yi Fei’s company out entirely by being the investigate party. I wonder how far the history goes with Fang and YiFei. They both are well aware of each other’s tactics and dislike each other. Qian Fei was told she didn’t measure up to be on her team and could get a bonus for providing data. Qian Fei didn’t except payment and plans to head to Chengdu to find more data. I thought YiFei was faking it to get out of meeting early. I guess he wasn’t.🤣 His assistant deserves a raise.🤣 He also heads to Chengdu. Records at the company didn’t go anywhere as all parties concerned resigned. They found one employee but he was not interested in getting involved. They did help with the boys a bit and softened the dad up to them, but they are returning with nothing new to add. YiFei is telling ghost stories as they drive along and the episode ends. I wonder if Ms Fang has OCD where she has to wash her hands a certain number of times and germaphobic. She seems fickle about her treatment of people and I really don’t want her as Qian Fei’s boss. She is more like a what have you done for me today type of boss and she has too good a work ethic to settle for that. Plus she would still have mean girl and uncle to deal with. I like that he left business class to give her study notes. Waiting for her to choose to work with him. He will have to start a workout regimen to offset her cooking skills.😂🤣 Gamer friend is claiming he has a gf now. His parents are all kinds of nosy. 🤣😂 This cast interacts well to show office and family/friends dynamics. All the characters are believable with no weak links.
