Usually this comment section is all love for this show and it's characters but there seem to be misunderstandings. People are disappointed by the lack of screentime for the ML, and that's fair! People don't care for the second leads anymore and just want our main leads to get more screentime, that's also fair!
On the other side, there are people who are enjoying the show right now, despite all of the above. They understand the importance of these scenes to Chang Yu's character growth. The fact that we had a great uninterrupted 15 episodes with our main leads, and can spare time to the second leads. The fact that our main leads are currently separated and the story must go on, therefore filling the space with other important scenes.
The thing is, I'm sure the people disappointed ALSO agree with this stuff, well most of it (second-lead stuff is tiring some). They just miss our main leads together. I think all the teasers we are seeing definitely aren't helping. I know for a fact it ain't helping me.... I need to get off tiktok lol. Everyone here seems to unanimously love Chang Yu and are enjoying seeing her become a more refined Jade, one that can stand confidently next to Marquis Wu-An. But they also want the ML.
People consume media differently. Some enjoy the fluff, the angst, the romance, the politics, all are fair! I do have favourites, but this show is hitting the benchmark for ALL of these in my book, which is why I'm not upset. Rather than waiting for something to happen, I'm just waiting for the episodes to release... feel me?
A post about the meaning of names in Zhu Yu (of our favorite couple ) 🥰http://youtube.com/post/UgkxiL1IKueOF_I2K6tgwlqbbXYHhFhY2E2b?si=CHM7VIm4vksmI_eC
It’s a testament to TXW and ZLH’s chemistry and how well they work together that so many are upset that the…
I actually don’t mind it because the show is still super interesting. Yes, their chemistry is insane and I desperately want them together, but as a show, it doesn’t need need them together to thrive. These last few episodes have been super entertaining and didn’t feel like filler at all. They are still integral to the plot, important for character arcs, and will make for an even sweeter reunion! But I still want them to be happy 😭
I too, love her individual growth, and story and character-wise, she'll need it to stand by his side as an equal.…
Exactly this! These last couple of episodes are so important to build her character. Just when you think you can’t love Chang yu more, the next episode airs!
Yea I thought I would want to the separation to end soon but they manage to keep it interesting and it's so nice…
Yes, I love seeing this. A lot of dramas rely on the romance or intense politics to keep it interesting. Not this one, these episodes are so important for her growth and it’s still super entertaining.
As much as I want to see Xie Zheng and Chang Yu again, I'm really enjoying seeing Chang Yu on her own... because she isn't on her own! She has her pig butcher squad, and grand tutor Tao, and now reunited with her uncle who is spitting some words of wisdom! Talk it out gang!
Sometimes humor in cdramas fly over my head because I'm not Chinese lol, but I'm getting a good laugh out of this show. The grand tutor being petty with uncle zhao for Chang Yu's attention was so silly. A small distraction for this HORRIBLE WEEK I'M ABOUT TO HAVE! One episode per day.... At least our two leads will reunite tomorrow 🥲
Lame writing that was so out of character for xz he was wrong but she was extra harsh on him I mean you cant use…
I think I might understand you now. You are saying how she can want to save someone she described as harassing her? For example, I want to save someone who raped me? That wouldn't make sense right... so I can see your problem now. The thing is, nobody is taking the word like that, as a strong accusation. A different translation would be, you behaved indecently with me, or you took liberties with me. Rather than fixating on the word, consider the situation as a whole, and maybe not be so rude to strangers on the internet.
The fight definitely originated in honest jealousy. But that "who do you think you are" was repeated twice…
Exactly! The audacity.... her anger is justified! Her comparison is fair. I can't believe we are being so harsh on a woman who is being pushed and pulled around by men who cannot be forward.

You seem to have a problem with her using the word harassment.... when what he did was harassment, please check out definition, because even within husband and wife, this behavior is not appropriate. Forced kisses are a sad trope in dramas, justifying it is a REAL problem. More REAL than her saying the word harassment, which I wonder if that was mistranslated. Regardless... she isn't wrong.
How is her searching for him out of fear mediocre writing? Genuinely think about it. She didn't lose all her love for him the moment he kissed her. She was angry! Can't a girl say a couple things she doesn't mean? If it's pathetic... she's pathetic and IN LOVE! Tell me why you think her searching for him is a problem?
I am only 9 ep in but ML has gotten injured so many times. I am liking the FL but i feel like story is being repetitive…
It was funny seeing how many times he got injured but it was worthwhile seeing the relationship between the two grow. Not just our main leads, but the relationship with the towns people, it will pay off eventually.
