Huh I didn't notice? What did he say?

LMFAO I THOUGH THE SAME HAHA

Thankyou !! This helps so much, I don't like separating the art from the artist, so it's always hard for me to engage with media that has problematic people involved and I can never tolerate racism! I would have dropped watching any and all of his dramas, as I just found out about this, didn't know anything about the topic before coming here.

I thought that his massacre was really kind of exaggeration by rumours and gossip among people when it was more of him decimating the militant forces of the enemy residing in the town? Because they made it sound like XZ was misunderstood.

I think in that scene at that moment Li Huaian's right hand guy did move to take a stand but then Changyu suddenly told him to take LH to protect him and he accepted it, which is why no one said anything and the soldiers also knew that both LH and General He viewed her as a trustworthy person plus Changyu also took responsibility to go in LH's stead so they decided to trust her. At least that's how I interpreted it, it's a little far fetched but like I said the drama is not perfect it has its flaws so somethings we just have to overlook.

It's not necessary but I find it so refreshing that he's not like usual characters who, for their own motives, start becoming a thorn in the lead's relationship, he knows his own feelings and he respects Changyu and her relationship with XZ and is always there to back her up against perceived bad intentions. It gives his character so much depth.

Also definitely agree with anticipation of their next scenes, some of the scenes that were integral to politics but without Changyu and XZ, I found myself wanting to skip or fast forward it lol even though they weren't boring I just felt so impatient haha. The scenes with the emperor are really funny tho, everyone is dissing him lol but he's so entertaining to watch haha

I agree I love the drama, and I adore Changyu so I don't mind that it's very much centered around her, but more of XZ, and them together would've been awesome in the latter part of the drama, and would have made it wayy better!

No he only has the Yanzhou army, the jinzhou army is under Li Huaian and Changyu collectively, if I'm not wrong after his return to Northwest from Linan, he got back the Yanzhou army under his command.

Yes! Of course that's a problem, it was wrong and I was annoyed by that too! But she's a human she's not perfect, so she can make mistakes, both times she did it she was trying to protect them, and she's already established as someone who acts impulsive when it concerns the safety of people she cares about so it's not out of character for her to do it in a moment of desperation and haste. It cannot be justified but her actions had understable reasons and atleast one of the times she did acknowledged that with Li Huaian. With XZ it kind of got lost because of their conflict when his identity was revealed, so I also wished that they'd talked about that.

Bro you don't like the osts, you don't like the drama, why are u even watching them atp just drop it instead of being a troll lol

I don't know why people get so frustrated with female centricity in stories, I understand the frustration but Changyu's character was already established as someone really strong from the get go, literally the first episode. She didn't just get to the battlefield, whipped out her blades and started defeating everyone, she WAS trained by her father in martial arts, someone who was also a famous and applauded general. This is explicitly mentioned in the show that she knows martial arts from her father but her parents had her take an oath to not use it unless absolutely necessary. And we see her hesitating on the battlefield as well she does not instantly become this lethal soldier, she learns and adapts. And both times when she kills the generals it's shown that the arrogance of the enemies is also at play, both of the generals thinks of her as weak because she's a woman, you can see in the scenes that she's not winning against them at first but then she slowly overpowers them after getting used to their moves, this is also demonstrated as something she utilizes when she spars against Xie Zheng. Now Xie Zheng's character is getting a bit underdeveloped, and I understand the frustration with that. The drama is not perfect, it has its flaws like any other, but I feel like people are being way too critical because their expectations went sky high as it got so popular, as has happened with any other drama.

Edit: Not to mention it's repeatedly implied that her physical constitution is also very very strong, better than most men even, so uh some people criticizing it for being realistic yeah haha I get that but at the end of the day this is fiction, there's bound to be unrealistic stuff? If we wanted realistic we could just go watch MMA fights lol. But hey everyone has a right to their opinionstill I just has this need to defend what has easily become one of my favourite dramas lol

I agree she's pretty consistent in her actions and demeanor towards him. The first time she treated him coldly was when he kept talking about going back because she was hurt and wanted him to stay and he harassed her, the second was when she'd found out about his identity and lastly was because she wanted to distance herself from him because of her own identity cuz she didn't want to implicate him as a traitor's daughter. She's never treated him coldly without reason, although she does behave a little bit distantly around him now than when they were in Linan and I think it's because she still holds some reservations about his status as a marquis but that's also starting to simmer out from ep 33 onwards.

thankyou !

And yes she's so cool !! Love her sm

Hey is the official ep 34 out?

Okay, can u tell me your reasons for liking him then? Like I'm genuinely curious about how he seems to you, because to me he's a pathetic person who's deluded by his own sense of superiority and victim complex. He thinks everyone in world owes him for an unlucky instance (though I completely agree that it was very cruel) that occured to him in childhood. And yes traumatizing things like that, especially when experienced in childhood can greatly affect a person's behaviour but we always have our own will to make choices as well yet he chooses to constantly be unnecessarily and incessantly cruel, has no regards for anyone's life, just pursues his own selfish desires at the cost of others, mistreats everyone, cannot even honor someone's kindness like qianqian or his adoptive mother or brother. So what exactly do you like about him?

If u ask me not a single character in this show was sane enough LMAO

i have so many questions bro wth

It's too bad we don't get to see the main pairing together, because from the interviews I've watched they seem to have good chemistry together and from the VERY few scenes in the drama.
