Is it just me getting the point of why he would stop her? If she killed him, yes, she would get the revenge, but…
If a male character in a show had just agreed to marry the FL, then gone behind her back to enact his long-standing revenge (even if it was to protect her), and then dumped her when she tried to stop him from throwing away his life, the entire audience would have bashed him into the ground.
And, to be frank, now it feels like she's been using him in some way or the other since the beginning. And he's…
Sadly, role reversals don't seem to be acceptable to the majority. Kudos to the screenwriters and the actors for taking on these roles and breaking stereotypes.
And, to be frank, now it feels like she's been using him in some way or the other since the beginning. And he's…
If she wanted to die, she didn't need to take him down with her, which, as her fiancé, would have happened. I don't get people who are criticising the ML. He saved her life multiple times, and this time was no exception. His entire raison d'être has been to save her life!
I don't think it's bad screen writing, however. She's in a haze and doesn't know what she's doing, and it will probably reverse in the coming episodes. My issue is that stories reward patience, and people seem to have none. Recognise that Huaijin was right, and wait patiently for her blue haze to dissipate. Don't just dump on the ML until you've seen it to the end.

I think she's not thinking clearly, but this came so soon after accepting his proposal, that it totally feels like she used him. He got her out of confinement, after all. That was all she needed.
At least this drama is drawing strong loyalties. Thinking about it logically, the ML did the right thing. Killing…
And, to be frank, now it feels like she's been using him in some way or the other since the beginning. And he's saved her so many times, it's really time now for her to repay the favour.
At least this drama is drawing strong loyalties. Thinking about it logically, the ML did the right thing.
Killing the Right Chancellor would have never cleared the Prince of Duan's name. In fact, the story would have been that Li Peiyi went on a killing spree just like her father. That was the end of her life, whether in reality or in principle. If, by some miracle, she survived physically, she would be a murderer in her own right. The hypocrisy of a murderer as an investigator? Overlooked by so many.
To let her kill in a moment of madness, that could never have been the logical, sane Huaijin's way. He's deeply in love, but not blind.
Duke Su was a powerful, flamboyant character whose aura was defined in the show itself. XHJ is restrained and…
Don't get me wrong, I am loving XHJ. He's a brilliant mind, logical, calm, reliable, with quiet strength and secure in his own masculinity. It's rare to see such a well-constructed male character in any kind of entertainment. They're either overly macho, or stupid in love. XHJ is neither.
WXY's plank challenge earned his first 1M likes on douyin after a while (the last time was during The Double era),…
XHJ is intellectual, cerebral, gets woozy at the sight of blood and gore, can't fight (though he can defend himself quite credibly) and has no political power or status. Yet, romance-chasers who usually adore the complete opposite kind of character are in love with Thai Orange Tea. This is a testament to WXY's portrayal of him.

Duke Su was a powerful, flamboyant character whose aura was defined in the show itself. XHJ is restrained and quiet and has none of the physical prowess of a typical male character in CDrama, and he's still getting the love. WXY has really strong screen presence. Some sort of super personal magnetism. He doesn't need a dominant role to generate dominant engagement.
Reason why people don't believe he is 23 til date. I still think he got more chemistry with Wu Jin Yan rather…
I think it's less about chemistry and more about the character. Xiao Heng really was an exceptional character (though I prefer Xiao Beiming). And there seems to be more focus on the actors this time than the characters.
It's so great to have new WXY content. I continue to be baffled by his ability to differentiate his characters so completely. Arrogant genius Xiao Huajin has none of the mannerisms, posture, or voice of arrogant genius Xiao Heng or arrogant genius Xiao Beiming. Somehow, they even LOOK different.

1. Liu Zixing - political machiavelli
2. Xiao Heng - brilliant strategist and puppet master
3. Xiao Beiming - Sherlock Holmes' style genius
4. Xiao Huaijin - Scholarly mathematician, brilliant mind, supremely logical
5. Chai An - Genius businessman
I'm assuming Feng He is going to be extremely smart as well.
