No one in ANY cdrama show has died from falling off a high place... at MOST they get amnesia...

I think that's the point... he is a puppet. I'm sure he wants to be emperor but he can't fight these two on his own, he isn't smart enough nor has any "real" backing.

People are always harsher on women, which is what surprised me so much, because I thought FL could potentially be an exception. Chang yu is such a great character! Some say she's a Mary Sue, then in the same breathe complain she's a bad general... make it make sense. Nobody bats an eye when the male lead kicks ass... Nobody bats an eye when he makes poor decisions that gets people killed... Didn't Xie Zheng let 200 of his own men to die to the flood in order to save Changning (ofc bigger cause but still)? FL loses Mandi and results in General Wei hurting his arm and damn she's worse than a foot soldier.

Yes, she made bad decisions but she isn't perfect.. She doesn't have battle experience, she is bound to make mistakes! So do you want a Mary Sue or not?! She also didn't ask to become a general, that was forced upon her by people in power as they hope to control her! Someone who is neither Wei nor Li. But she does deserve her accolades, she killed the big bad no? Don't question her ability to kick-ass, cause we've seen that from the first episode, she isn't the commoner people make her out to be.

Exactly how I feel! Instead of cutting earlier stuff, they should've added more episodes. It's because of how much time they spent on it that everything hit so much harder. It's the big reason I abosolutely adore this show. Not so much the writing but the scheduling! However, they should've prepared if they knew the time.

I agree! I think ep 14-15 would've been good spot. Yes, we deserve more of them together, I think we'll get that in this next arc, only happy days ahead lol

About seeing the Marquis kick ass, I would've absolutely loved to see that. He lowkey just aura farms, just being cool, but nothing truly bad-ass. I let it slide not seeing it though because it isn't his story as much as it is Changyu's, and being he is "supposedly" so bad-ass, the fight scenes would last 2 seconds. There probably think no need to waste scenes on it, it's not where his growth lies. But one cool scene off his horse in the war scenes would've been nice 😭😭😭 He did get that one in the forest, but it was so long ago I lowkey forgot.

You know what, I completely forgot about that lol I hope next episode we see that they're locked in on his position or something... cause was that not the whole point lol

Yeah she should've stood up for him at the table. But she was also drunk. When he called her prince consort, they were in public and trying to avoid him, keeping professional boundaries. There maybe she could've just told him to stop. But I'm not taking it too seriously, just enjoying it at a bit part to stir the pot. In reality, his behaviour is annoying and disrespectful, I wouldn't let my partner be insulted like that. T

Oh yeah that guy was riling him up for no reason. Did he not think that guy would fight back? No sense in that guys motivation. I think it was purely to reveal that thing about Wei Yan's true love or whatever that was.

I really wish they didn't make him have a crush on her. I wish he could've been a big brother to her the way she is a big sister to the others... I however, don't mind his behaviour cause they don't make it weighty at all. It leads to tropey jealous moments if anything, which I'll eat up any day regardless. They are just thugs, losers, so they act like it. If I were Marquis tho, I, like you, wouldn't let that sht slide. Buttttt he can't do anything to them because FL likes them.

The beating up of two idiots? What scene did I miss lol! Omg the maids are literally us 😭

I wished they showed that scene, and we see him struggle mentally, between his desire for revenge and his love for her. Would’ve been valuable. But I’m not too mad.

I enjoyed todays episode! Yeah, the vibe completely changed but I won’t complain as both parts were done well. The two brothers scene was great, the relationship we saw between them built up to this moment and it didn’t disappoint. Truly never seen any death as such. The relationship between Gongsun yin and the grand princess was more lowkey, but this moment didn’t feel like it came outta no where. I will say I was shocked to hear about him going to the temple too. A lot of background that I’m sure was expanded on in the novel, but I didn’t mind, it was romantic. It wasn’t a super stuffed episode like the ones on the weekend.

She was respectful but her food was burning. That was just for jokes sake.

LOL THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING

I was hoping for that cause I love angst but novel XZ is different from drama XZ. Here, he is more calm and he thinks more rationally. He questions whether her father was actually framed. But honestly, that moment felt like it came outta nowhere. I would’ve liked to at least see him realize that’s her dad and struggle before coming to the conclusion he chooses her.

I think they adress that in today's episode

I don't have a problem with the weapon scene because that was a part of her reason to make the decision and join the war. That along with General He's words, Grand Tutor's Tao's words, and finally a push from Qianqian. Introducing the weapon after also could be cool, but the flashback at that point would've killed the moment.

The other two flashbacks seem like a lot when they are in the same episode. I also was struggling with the passing of time, I only know now because of today's episode it's been like a couple months since Chang Yu arrived at the camp.

It is starting to feel a little rushed but its still enjoyable. The bar was set too high in the beginning, maybe lower your expectations lol

Honestly yes, what was his point after he escaped the first time. Didn't see him until the second battle. But I'll allow it cause I liked his character and we got this great scene between the two brothers.

I really enjoyed how long Lin'an arc was because it set the foundations, made the massacre so much more heart breaking, make me believe the love they felt for each other, all that. But now in the latter half, I think you right, we could've cut a teeeeeensy bit considering how stuffed things are feeling now. Before there was room to breathe, whether that was just Lin'an felt like, or the time spent there. Now, i'm not struggling to understand the plot, but it could've been more enjoyable than just moving along and wrapping things up.

I know, I was like really? The only way this guy can die is if he does it himself lol ROACH 😭
