At what point did Ting Yun and Zhao Ling think it was safe to leave Madam Fu alone in the Fu house with her POS…
The drama is set in ancient times not in today's world...womem staying if she has feelings for a man is something of modern lens...in drama's world, marriage was majority of time for convenience, status, and societal reasons, not love.... Madam Fu originally comes from a merchant family while Fu family had officials...merchant were not treated with same respect as official then...she stayed and supported him for his career, hope for better future for her children...even FTY needed ZL to navigate official circles as clearly mentioned in earlier episodes... If she had written the divorce letter on day 1 FTY wouldn't have been able to marry, she would be branded as daughter of a woman who left her husband...Fu family's saving grace were there chastity arches one of !adamZou, second of old lady,third of FTY's mother...the Fu family men could sit for imperial exams because of that...if she had left her son wouldnt be able to get an offical post... And she didnt stay with her husband in capital..she stayed with the Fu family in huaying and lived like all women did at that time.. And his mistreatment of her started around the wedding episodes...previously they minded there own businesses...because of this, Madam Fu assumed he wouldn't hurt her as he needed her financially and for reputation... And going by your logic more than divorce in ep1..better question is why she didnt rescure FTY from being poisoned in earlier episodes..she could have gathered her servants and faught and rescued FTY...they were all ladies only then Also why didn't Madam Zou leave? She had nothing to lose by leaving plus she was a stronger character than Madam Fu? Why is Lady Wu being paraded around and being checked out? Amd why is the calculating more intelligent Madam Yu staying without love? Because no matter how independant one is, one still has to live within a soceity and the society didn't operate in their favour.. I am glad this drama didn't project a modern women in ancient world and rather showed realistically how constrained the women were then

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WDaLUXVcHKU This is one of the episode where a psychologist who had support onew everything yet stayed in an abusive relationship in today's world
There are many todays world example of educated knowledgable women with resources staying too long, everyone is asking same of Kanye Wests current wife Bianca Censori....there are many exmples in today's world itself... The whole drama is set in ancient times where women were oppressed and didn't have same rules and freedom...even FTY is being constantly mocked for not having married at 24....also Madam Fu's circumstances were not the same, in ep1 she stayed because of old lady Fu and for her daughter's future, she continued to stay hoping to reunit with her daughter plus shenhad been brainwashed on thats how society was because that was how society was at tht time... What changed? FTY was married now, she had backing of ZL, her other son was happy to let go off/giving up on imperial exams...Fu family's honour did not matter anymore..grandma killing FTY broke her..seeing her alive again reawakened her , as evidenced when she said to FTY '.dont become a weak woman like me'..seeing them back in capital and ZL's loyalty gave her yhe courage to stand up for herself... And the problem doesn't end after separation..there is something called post separation abuse as well...sometimes from the person they separated, but also from the society, their friend...seeing ZL and FTY facing stuffs together, even her son choosing to give up on status gave her couruage , and hope that her children wouldn't be bothered by society's conventions and will live a happy life.. She finally felt safe , had courage and hope for herself and her children and made that decision. Leaving is not always about having technical means or legal rights, it is also about psychological readiness and societal freedom. I honour your opinion that this is polt hole but don't agree with it... So far this drama including Madam Fu reflected real world scenarios..and I'm glad they scriptwriter showed it as it is...because the Qs you are asking is what the victims ask themselves "why did I stay for so long"...and instead of making a statement of "one should have left" , I choose to support the person whenever they choose to leave.. I am glad this drama showed the complex dynamics at play by coherent writing of character and their chocies throughout.

Unfortunate thing is, it happens even now...women keep forgiving and giving chances or assuming it won't go beyond a point and then end up in similar situation and fate
Yes...you are right...ZL amd FTY 's rise to power is to protect themselves and ones they love...they are not intersted…
I am actually enjoying it...it is difficult to stay morally right when faced with these many powerful enemies...and they are doing the best... I don't find the FL whining or suffering...she is mourning her mother's death...she is still interesting...the whole Imperial tombstone plan was hers and she even took punishment for it...and in ep29 she says "I can protect you too" ...both ZL and FTY have stayed together, worked together to reach here

Adding to the comments..Madam Fu had mentioned when she was giving blessing to ZL that Mr.Fu wouldn't hurt her as filial piety and family ties is what kept him valid as an official..and he has shown to be cowardly till now...even Mr.Fu wouldn't have done this if he didn't have Yu backing him or so he thought... Foolish fellow...no wonder Fu family had ti depend on chastity arches with such a guy
My last thought on the day as I finish my breakfast and get back to writing:How fun would it have been if they…
Yes...you are right...ZL amd FTY 's rise to power is to protect themselves and ones they love...they are not intersted in besting others...they wouldn't have bothered about the Yu's if these idiots didn't keept messing with them
The whole problem was started by YJX...he assumed FY would be humble, and they have same interests, he never tried to find out about her...and instead of speaking honestly about it he created the whole mess...his mother agreed to his request of marrying FY not because FTY was accused, she agreed because he promised to sit for imperial exams and give his best...I guess he subconsciously knew FTY was awesome and created the whole mess because he didn't want anyone else to have her and knew that Zou guy was a loser...he cant stand it now knowing ZL and FTY have everything he ever wanted...
I am glad they are creating suspense through the previews and clearing everything up in the episodes without cliffhangers...couldn't have handled cliffhangers in this series
Finally Madam Wu got to eat...but not happy with her transformation towards the end..what happened to making something of herself and not depending on her marriage?
Does the comment section of dramas usually get nasty? It's my first time participating so idk how bad it can get…
Yes...very nasty...even explaining the intentions of villian ppl get attacked...here we could discuss and pity Madam Zhou, YJX, Madam Yu...hate them yet understand them...other places not this civil
The Jade devision are so apt for each other...like master so are the disciples...ARP and his many costumes, especially the lady one 🤣🤣 A Mi is awesome in this 👏
Have to say, this drama commentors are very civil and genuine...we can all talk so openly, praise the good characters in villian without getting attacked, call out the weakness in the leads...it is not all black and white and villianize the villian, hero worship the leads.. Thank you all for this genuine and intellectually honourable viewing experience❤️❤️ drama is top-notch and being able to discuss it candidly really elevates the whole experience 😀
The drama has used the osts, and right lines at the right places...Liu Yuning singing the OST lines "if we can build our future together , no storm can chill my heart" during the wedding ceremony was heavenly💖
