The discussion is honestly getting ridiculous. People are acting like Chang Yu committed some unforgivable crime just because she drugged Xie Zheng—like, what did you expect after he lied?
Yes, it was reckless. Yes, rules were broken. Congratulations, we all get that. But acting shocked about it? That’s the part that doesn’t make sense. When it comes to family, people don’t sit around weighing rules and consequences—they act. Messily, impulsively, and sometimes stupidly. That’s just reality.
And this isn’t even new behavior. Chang Yu has always been protective. If her sister were in danger, she’d break every rule without blinking—maybe even worse than this. This time it’s her husband, so suddenly people expect her to what? Stay calm and play by the rules?
If we’re going to nitpick rule-breaking, then let’s keep the same energy. Mulan literally lied, impersonated a soldier, and broke military law to take her sick father’s place. By strict standards, that’s a serious offense too—but no one calls her stupid for it.
So yeah, Chang Yu broke the rules. But the outrage feels over the top. People love to preach about morals until they’re the ones put in that position. Truth is, a lot of you would do the exact same thing—you just don’t like admitting it.
While everyone is gleefully anticipating ML‘s apologizing, and what not there’s something when they first…
I don't even mind. After all, she's being lied to. Who cares anyway. In her POV. Her husband is not that important, he also pretends to be weak. Girl is not that cunning, she even honestly told the other general she drugged her husband to keep him safe, girl is not being secretive at all.. At least she got balls. For her, there are only few of her love ones alive.. Her whole village got massacred, her decisions might be not the best but girl is ready to die for her man, she technically told Xie zheng to take care of her sister for her...
It will only be a big issue if she knew her husband is a marquis and she drugged him but of course she don't know.. Her husband outweight any rules.. Let say your sick father is forced to a battle.. Will u break rules to keep ur father alive, surely.. Take Mulan for example. Mulan technically broke military rules to save his father.
I agree. I like Changyu being badass and all, but not at the expense of Xie Zheng who is supposed to be the greatest…
I think it's more like.. Becoz he haven't revealed his identity to FL.. But anyway, it was frustrating still. But at least FL is consistent with her skills.. Even novel version of her is the same.
can I say how much I hate the writers dragging XZ hiding his identity? like we know the purpose is to let CY take…
At first it was necessary for ML to keep his identity since has enemies but now.. It doesn't make sense coz FL is already in his camp where he can protect her.. Also thr Li an village got massacred so it was less baggage for ML now.. So I don't know why lie.. If the reason he didn't tell her is becoz of their status discrepancy that's BS... We're almost half thr series and reaching 30 episode how long can he keep lying. His reason is now getting shallow. Poor chan yu.
Guys, tune in to the drama of the little fairy Zhou Ye in Dream of Golden Years, it just started and she is absolutely…
That's in my list.. Definitely gonna watch zhou ye drama after Pursuit of jade. More episode is better than waiting.. Look at us now suffering with 1 episode per day for POJ
What are people's favorite episodes to rewatch? Finally caught up and the daily episodes are killing me
My favorite was definitely chang yu's fights. In episode 18 when she killed the leader riding the horse and this recent episode when she killed the enemy general. It was baddass
Everyone is talking about FL being mad at ML for hiding his identity. If I were ML I'd be pretty upset my bride…
That's not even the same. ML technically lied big time and repeatedly.. Her actions were technically his own fault for lying to her.. If she told him thst he's the marquis she won't even have to fight.. This is mentioned in the teaser for ep 27.. FL said if she knew thst he's the marquis she won't even need to fight... So they are not even.. ML made a whole show in front of her.
ngl I kind of lol'd when she went on the battle field with a butcher knife
Her butcher knife is more durable than their weapon 😜😂.. It took long enough before her enemy can destroy her knife.. Xie Zheng should fix her heirloom butchering knife with the same material.
She straight butchered him 💀seriously though you see her first trying to slice him but it’s all armor, then…
Despite not having any experience.. She seems to have battle IQ. I liked that she kinda test the waters, trying to see how strong her opponent and when her attacks didn't do much on his armor.. She uses her Brain by climbing on top of him to stab him and if strength is not working, she uses speed.. Dang girl!!!
I partly agree with you on most things, just like you mentioned XZ hinted it to her and WAR is HELL we both know…
I don't even mind at all.. Given that in episode 27.. His lies outweight chang yu's action. Chang yu has a fresh wound, she saw her whole village massacred.. In her perspective, Xie zheng is wounded, weak.. At least it's what they wanted her to see..so her finding out that she's protecting a man / her husband who is actually a marquis and a strong man will not sti well on her.. Imagine she must have felt betrayed and felt stupid coz of that lie. She must be thinking that Xie zheng is making her feel stupid coz she's already illiterate, she's basically thinking he is playing with her.
