In my opinion, Ruyi. I always think the best way I can describe it is that Ning is a fighter and Ruyi is a killer.

Sure is. But I think he almost dies but goes blind and does find the love of his life lol judging from the comments and online spoilers.

Ning's problem is that his wife and mother of their child is too much of a baddie out here attracting everyone.

This delegation has too much time on their hands to be out here creating romantic atmospheres lol

He's a grey character so I like him very much.

MY CHILD'S MOTHER WILL BE UNHAPPY!!!!!

Damn, she really was a great master if people still respect her so much. She and Ning really are the same in terms of leadership. Ruyi might have been thinking that she was doing her job but it seems like her training was the only warm and humanity they felt despite being assassins.

Shisan taking romance advice from Tiktok LOL Him being impressed with how lavish the brothel was giving soft girl era

Yuan Lu fighting demons in that brothel LOL

I knew the softie Qian Zhao would come around.

Not her feeling special because she's the only one who knows he's poisoned. These two find the oddest things to feel giddy about.

Not her having her own recipe to determine the sex of the child lol I love the softness of how they go about their life together. It's not forced, everything is discussed as a "what if" because they know realistically, their lifestyle doesn't necessary mean happy ever after.

In all honestly, this is much better than SOKP. The writing, pacing, directing and characterisation is much better. You get an even dose of everything without the cringe factor.

True, I feel like there's more to her than just the story of being sold at a young age.

LOL @my little pony wig. It frames his face. Now who ever gave Qian Zhao's wig needs to be jailed instead of Shisan.

So handsome. I wish him continued success.

Right. Her giving too easy was an indication but also the advice on men. You don't give advice as such unless you have been hurt by the man you love coupled with the Emperor's reaction to Ruyi and having her name barred.

Why do I feel like the An Emperor has something to do with the Empress' death. I know Noble Consort Chu said he will never make her Empress because he loved the former Empress too much but it just doesn't seem in line with his bloodlust character. He definitely betrayed the Empress to gain something.

Yes, I just rewatched. It's a pity on them because Shisan can have a good time regardless of where he is lol

Neither, she will chose her friends/comrades which in this case can be from other side of the two organisations.

Was it mentioned why Shisan was in prison? His introduction remains to be the funniest lol

I can't wait to when Ruyi gets back to An. That's probably where we will the people on her hit list. The head of Scarlet Guards is definitely on there.

I am imagining the Princess reading sanitised smut in her palace and hiding it in a secret compartment as its forbidden material.

Right I saw that line as give your heart to someone who has you in his heart.
