La Gata

LJL planned to infiltrate the Rong house under the guise of a poor man injured by bandits. He still didn't tell her who he was and what he was planning after he recovered his memory. He used her in his one-sided scheme to catch Madame Yang and Yu Wan. They were both together in their trap to catch the governor. I think '2 cunning scheming characters that use each other to their advantage through the story' perfectly describes this drama, and the fact that they have almost opposite personalities (he's extrovert/shameless, she's restrained/dignified) does not alter this. At this point it's clear to me they are both in love with each other.

I agree with you. There is a lot of hate on some of these comments for a strong, smart, independent, capable, caring and beautiful young lady. I wonder why.😏

Did you miss the scene in the prison cell where she told him what she was plotting, warned him it was high risk and they agreed to work together?

This drama is so vaguely based on the novel as to have very little to do with it.
The Yang-Wei murder mystery is a main part of the plot, so of course it's a recurring theme.
Second sister already having a partner is no obstacle for a S2 at all, quite the contrary; their story has hardly b been sketched so far and, anyway, this series is not just about romance. Yun Xi and An Chan have a lot of potential as a second couple for another season IMO.

That's just what it looks like. Wait until you watch ep 30.

'Finally something interesting is happening?' Are you actually saying nothing interesting has happened before? This is one of the most solid, intriguing, hole-free plots I've seen in quite some time.

That's also a good guess and it could well be how it turns out to be. I just don't see why they would film that scene if there is nothing in the box aside from harmless mementos.

I know, but IMO that's no reason to bury the box in the tea fields, particularly when he's had it in his room all this time. I still suspect there must be something else in it apart from his mementos.

I love the traps and mind games, that's a main attraction for me. Trying to guess what happens next is hugely entertaining.

I think the letter from LJL to RSB was delivered to steward Cheng on purpose. Surely LJL knew he would destroy it, as he had already tried to destroy the wild tea leaves LJL brought for RSB and didn't let her know he was waiting for her outside. Anyway, both LJL and RSB have means to communicate with each other without involving steward Cheng, for example through Jun Dai.

Steward Cheng is probably not who he says he is either, or he's definitely hiding something. What is the secret in that box he buried in the tea fields?

No kidding. Some idiots are even complaining about FUTURE episodes that haven't been released yet. You couldn't make it up.🙄

Kill them one by one? That's not Glory, is a different series.

And yet about everybody, myself included, predicted at least 15 episodes ago he was an impostor. 😂

Yun Shu's attempt to murder grandma was staged by Shan Bao in order to trap the fake YBL. Yun Shu just told the grandma loud and clear how she felt and thought about her. Despite hating her for what she did to her parents and to herself, she also understands her father did wrong too and why he wasn't Rong 'material'. That's just how she feels about it, whether we agree or not.

Indeed. Not to mention the misogynistic jealousy behind those comments.

You've got to be kidding. The Rong family have been like that right from the beginning. The MC have been playing games with each other right from the beginning. The plot is getting even more thrilling at ep 30, I can't wait to see the rest.

Please put a spoiler veil on your comment.

Where does this info about the plot developing into episodes in the capital come from? Has the script been leaked?

Thank you, that's a great explanation.

Thank you.
