Unrelated to the story: Diid Zhao Lusi have plastic surgery?Couldn’t recognise her on her latest insta posts.
I feel that she had lost a lot of weight (some of her fashion shots show very very thin legs) and it shows on her face. Also, she's an Instagram/Tiktok expert--have you seen those videos by makeup artists on there? Some of them show how to make double eyelids, how to make nose smaller, how to pull this or that with tape. It's very addicting to watch those shorts, LOL.
I suspect LuSi has learned a few tricks to showcase each of characters. She take on the new look, has everyone commenting about it, generating amazing buzz, film her drama, and then whomp! Another kind of look. Look at the period after this drama and then Love Ambition. And then suddenly, after that, her looks changed again and now she's filming another drama with a less film-star look that she took on for Love's Ambition.
OK, don't quote me on this but I've seen a thread at another place hinting that it is. How they know, I have no idea, but that thread gave a few action scenes that have been accurate so far.
If not for the revelation from Ba Niang and the blood pearl as well as the new need to look for her father, do…
And that's why she was different from the others too. Of course, without her schooling from Ba Niang, all would have been moot, so we really needed Ba Niang in the picture, LOL.
I'm up to ep 25 and one of the reviewers spoiled the ending for me. So I will not continue as I hate desperately…
Continue watching until the last episode and stop at 33:33 and you get a cute marriage and sexy bedroom scene and then CLICK OFF. There, happy ending. GO NO FURTHER than the marriage night scene. :)
Just finished watching and I gotta say, I have some pretty mixed (okay, mostly negative) feelings about it. Honestly,…
Yes, a revenge drama is supposed to have a PAYOFF. That's the point. There was no pay off. Nada. Just a cup of Undying Flower porridge. Here, have some.
Episode 2: I'm not afraid of fire, only of cold. Mei Lin says to Morung Jing He that the souls of Qingzhou will…
Yet, with her supreme powers of observation and deduction, she could NOT see through XiyanGreenTeaPrince's masks. That's why I said before, the writers defanged both my JingHe and MeiLin just to get some epic angst scenes. Stupid writers. There were smarter ways.

What I was saying was IF she didn't know about her mother and family. Let's say she and Shrimp hid in Yan's ship and was caught and she was now in her predicament for some other reason (there is no pearl and looking for father storyline, just the ambition to succeed as a businesswoman), and then Jin Ran offered her this letter, with that promise of protection, would she then accept?
IMO, her personality would push her to say "no" because of her innate yearning for freedom. She had not known freedom all her life and saw it differently from those around her, esp. JinRan. But JinRan was attracted and tried very hard to understand. With the poem. With his respect of her. With this letter, he was showing that he wanted her to get what she was striving for (learning a craft), but of course, he had his own selfish reasons :).
If not for the revelation from Ba Niang and the blood pearl as well as the new need to look for her father, do you think DuanWu would have accepted 2ML's proposal (the letter of recommendation WAS an indirect proposal to be under his protection, which DuanWu UNDERSTOOD)? She would be learning a new craft in Chang'an and have a certain freedom, etc. etc. Would she have done it?
