“purpose of living just ended” I have found my people. 🙌🏼

I saw that. that was not lost on me

wait wait. did I miss something during QM’s death scene? why did he ask her if she was a wandering ghost or a fallen immortal? isn’t she correct by saying she’s just YQQ?

I do! I said the same thing when I was watching his scenes. I don’t think he was malicious exactly. he was just very stupid. he seemed genuine about taking her as a concubine to save her house. he really thought she was marrying a refugee out of the blue and figured he was a better option. his mom was the more evil one. sad thing is, his mom died a terrible death so that was pretty bad punishment already. the scenes with him roaming the streets was so unexpectedly unfortunate for him that I thought he was gonna collude with the bad guys.

this drama has been above a 9 since 10 episodes in. amazing

okay brb crying

well said 🥹

He knelt and gave each other googly eyes. I was like whoa okay we’re good. Then he kissed her with his hand behind her head while kneeling. And I’m like WOW REALLY??? TYSM. Then they on the bed with the eye ribbon and I’m like okay man. wow. AND THEN SHE KISSED HIS NECK ALL THE WAY TO CHEST AND GRABBED TALLY WITH MOUTH. and if that’s not enough, he flipped her so he was on top and ate her face. i would have been fine with any one of those in the sequence but the director and censorship was like…let the fans feast.

but censorship said yes to the second leads 😭

producers better autocorrect it to Deng Kai too

neeeeed mooooarrr

yes!!! exactly.

I don’t care about diving into the deep conflict between Li and Wei. Esp this late in the game. I already know they’re at odds. If they wanted to elaborate on this feud with the son and grandson breaking legs, put it earlier and maybe I’ll pay attention then.

I feel like the drama invested so much time in the main leads developing relationship at Lin An. Their interactions felt carefully crafted with the promise of more intimacy later on when he reveals his identity but we’re just not getting that. It feels like the dramas trying to get too creative with the politics now but ain’t nobody has the bandwidth to learn new things this late in the game. And with these extended political scenes, we get cameos of our leads for a few minutes at a time in each of these later episodes.

They should be giving us substantial fuzziness between the leads to ease all the tension we sat through for the past 32 episodes! I’m pretty bummed. I’m still watching as it airs and am trying to stay away from spoilers but just from the sound and look of it, the ending doesn’t seem promising. What a gigantic waste of immense potential right now.

I ALSO WANT THE SAME THING. if I can get 40 min of screen time of just his face? I promise I’ll be okay. instead we see a few seconds of him from window up above and one minute of him in the alley.

yeah and threatening to kill himself whenever he doesn’t know the answer to something. 😒

7 episodes left and they spent more time showing the emperor cry than our leads, who we spent 32 episodes investing our time in. what. in the actual. EF.

even their alleyway meetup was short and lame. just feels like they’re extras in their own drama.

this is…yes. this is at least 90% of it. 🙈

you know what’s interesting though. I think of prisoner of beauty and I think the leads’ roles were evenly split. she was brains and beauty and he was brains and strength. the drama highlighted what she was good at and was able to do the same for him. gah. I’m so obsessed with this drama. I absolutely love it but I really do wish this aspect of the story was better portrayed. I didn’t read the novel but a friend told me he had many battle scenes in the book showcasing his marquis-ness. I suppose it’s what OP said, we just have to assume he’s powerful in this case.

lol FERSURE. if it wasn’t Zhang in his 6’3 robes breathing life into my soul?? I’d be like lol bye.

ah you’re right…maybe second lead scenes hit more bc it feels a little forbidden and dark too. not to mention the music that plays in the background during their scenes. but 🥲…. kinda sad about what we got. esp after waiting so long.
