Ep 26Holy god damn... YJX developed into the worst possible husband a woman can get.I know this is Yake's comeuppance,…
Particularly as she was a willing participant but not the orchestrator of FL’s “fall”. The main villains still have no care in the world and don’t suffer at all. (And no, YJX’s pining for FL does not count, at all.)
I'm not sure the emperor's anger is even that personal. He's clearly a deep thinker, and the way he uses - yes,…
True. And he most certainly uses ML as his ruthless blade that he can disavow at any time if strategically advantageous. It is truly ironic that his insistence on recruiting ML for the army, which his advisor could only bring about by instrumentalizing FL, led to our main couple staying together with FL proposing marriage, instead of parting ways as planned…
Ep 25: So, YJX will reject mums idea of a concubine, because only being childless over forty would make such a choice morally acceptable. But back in Ganlin he had no qualms trying to steal himself another man’s woman to make her his concubine… because…?!?
One thing that became clear to me during the wedding was that they feel happiest among their Northwestern military friends. It would have been a shame to alienate them and create hardship for those communities only to give the Emperor his silver faster.
I wonder if that is what the Emperor is mad about - he officially scolds ML that the reform is slow in the preview. Or he is annoyed that the couple he bet on and publicly endorsed their marriage repeatedly was not entirely honest. FL back then only said because her family fell on hard times she needs the registry. Now, their situation has created drama even with his Grandma… Maybe he resents that.
Can anyone help me? I'd like to know how to tell a married woman from an unmarried one just by looking at her…
I also read something about a ribbon in the hair, for unmarried women. One poster explained FL wearing her hair up also unmarried was ok at a certain age, but she still had that ribbon of an umarried woman. (Not sure how correct this is, but it sounded plausible regarding FLs hairstyle in the capital).
They were already given the gift at the banquet though...so was he meant to send another one...i dont think so
This emperor dragged ML into this whole mess, instrumentalizing FL to do it. If he now gets second thoughts he can pound sand for all I care. ML&FL should retire to the North West or emigrate to the East Indies or whatever. This court is just too toxic. Let the Emperor sort it out, really.
I have a bad feeling about the emperor... Lord Wei pointed it out after the wedding. Despite giving his blessing…
Seriously, guys, whenever I think, ok, now our main couple will get a break, there will be some preview or something someone picks up from an episode, that I get all anxious, again. This drama is really toying with my feelings…
The only egregious thing she has done so far is the slander on FL's name - which nearly killed FL. After that…
I feel the same way. Even regarding her gravest deed, she was persuaded to do it, it was not her scheme. It shouldn’t be forgiven, but it pales in comparison to her husband and moher&fathet in law. And contrary to them, she is already suffering in her position.
also how could YJX say that he envies FTY for marrying someone she’s chosen when he literally did the same thing??…
While it is ridiculous out if this weasel’s mouth, I understand the broader sentiment. The standard marriage in those circles meant marrying someone you didn’t really know - typically chosen by the family, but even if you chose for youself, the opportunity to know them beforehand was very limited. I very much doubt, though, that YJX even has the slightest understanding or empathy regarding what FL&ML went through together that made them know, value and choose each other with open eyes. Next thing you know YJX will demand a Thank You Card for bringing their match about.
Seriously, I hope this won’t cause a serious rift/split between the leads, it would make no sense. Surely, FL won’t shed a tear for a father who killed her mother?!? Also, if ML again fails to communicate and *that* creates a rift… then I’m losing hope. FL has seen so much crap in her life, and ML knows it, “protecting” her now from hard truths is rather pointless.
I wonder if that is what the Emperor is mad about - he officially scolds ML that the reform is slow in the preview. Or he is annoyed that the couple he bet on and publicly endorsed their marriage repeatedly was not entirely honest. FL back then only said because her family fell on hard times she needs the registry. Now, their situation has created drama even with his Grandma… Maybe he resents that.
