Episode 17 & 18 CP is more shameless than ever🤣🤣🤣 and Vice Minister Cui is taking the exact direction,…
she always tries to show him respect, her response to him...is him always pushing her buttons lmao and he won't get tired of her clearly, he likes her the way she is and accepts her the way she is, if only most people had his insight, you do remember that he's out-right threatened her with her friends secret, with the emperor and then has made choices on her behalf without ever speaking to her about it?
I feel really bad for the Crown Prince. He is doing everything for her out of fondness, but the FL is overly rude…
she's not ungrateful, if she could repay him in kind, she would. as it's been pointed out by cp, if she knew half of the stuff, she'd find a proper way to repay him. she legit threatens when he doesn't get his way at times but for some reason thats okay? and then the out-right lies. she's not stringing two men along, she made it clear she didn't want a relationship with any of the princes, she also isn't satisfied to see them wag anything because she wants nothing to with the princes but she tolerates huayong and he annoys in her a way that the others dont. like he threatened her with her friends secret and she still doesn't put up more of a guard. she has her own FEARS, that she does need to get past but its clear that she fears putting her life and her family's life in other peoples hands.
like wow, he can-out right lie to her about the biggest issues she had regarding marriage and shes the bitch because she didn't react with love and heart eyes. nor as she been grateful and thanks him for all the he's done...without asking or involving her. on one hand he says that he appreciates her independence and wouldn't control her but then goes around and MAKES choices for her without speaking to her and she's a bitch for it? an ungrateful bitch wouldn't have nearly had tears in her eyes when she learned about everything he did, an ungrateful bitch wouldn't have tried to run to him when they were under attack and she thought he was sickly, had no skills and would be hurt.
you know who's also extremely arrogant, rude, egotistical, selfish and narcissistic and will also resort to threats when they don't get their way? the crown prince, who not only BREAKS into her PRIVATE space but uses her friends secret to force her to comply or uses the emperor to force her to comply, its amazing what man is allowed to get to do without his faults being called out but le the woman do it and she's a horrible person.
he also hasn't done anything extremely bold that she couldn't get out of. the biggest issues she's not given the chance to get out of it because he swoops in.
actually, the BOLDEST thing she has done was kill an direct aid to the emperor and she didn't need the cp to bail her out of that. what? make a small county princess kneel on a broken up? do you really think that without huayong, she couldn't have walked away from that?
i have to watch ep 16 and 17 BUT the hate for xihe is amazing considering....the huayong of it all. people are mad at her (and somewhat the writers but they list her) for the engagement period being dragged out but don't do the same for huayong. this man KNEW what she wanted and pretended to be that. he had ample opportunity to come clean earlier which would've made her cold-feet happen and end earlier. would it have carried out so long if he hadn't kept the secret for so long?
then people say she's cold and mean when she's not, not enough to be flamed as she's being. lets be clear, she's given him more time and allowed him to push her boundaries more than any other prince. they say she she never cares for him but forget when the fire attack happened, she wanted to rush to check in on him. they forget that she was trying to send him gifts and for a period he rejected seeing them and her. they forget that she was honest and up-front about what she wanted from him while HE continued to lie. its clear that she doesn't enjoy much physical affection but has never scolded him for it and allows it to happen.
like, he says he'll respect but when she calls off the engagement, her choice, he says she can't. engaged or not, he breaks into her chamber and tells her she can't thank someone who saved her life and she listens. during shulin's case, he out-right threatens her with shulin secret but no one bats an eyelash at that. during the most recent eps, when he got sick at that party, she doesn't want to do something so he says and then does use the emperor to force her hand.
but she keeps her reasonable boundaries and he's the victim? again, this man LIED about the biggest things that matter to her but because he's in love, its okay. but if xihe had lied on the same level, she'd get all of the hate. she's not some cold bitch that doesn't deserve him when its clear she's a woman with her thoughts and agency but she doesn't fall in line and fall in love, she's worthless. smh
although in fl's soul swapped with gu qingjhi but I think they should atleast make the fl more thoughtful to CP..…
That’s the difference. He tried to kill himself and that would be tied to her. At the same time, when there was the fire scene and CP was under attack, she tried to run towards him in fire as well. And most of his fallen ill, scenes were fake. The one time he was seriously ill, she tried to go to him and the CP turned her away.
Don’t wanna be seen as a hater, but after 19 episodes of Blossom of Power is she really worth it?🥲 The Crown…
Yes, she is to him. And to me.
It’s also not true to say she isn’t responsive. She’s just not in the way people way, she’s in her own way. If she truly, truly had no feelings for him. She’d be wayyyy colder.
She is mean! We know she doesn’t love him but does she have to be this bad?
It’s not mean; no th is bad. He guilt tripped her basically. And it’s obvious that she didn’t want to show she cared, so she did it the way she did to come off nonchalant
Im now watching this and in the first 10 minutes of the pilot episode. Im curious didnt china ban this kind of…
there is censorship around still and some shows manage to skate by. it changes show to show so idk why this one worked. it could be because of the two moon thing. while it has a fantasy element in the two souls, the stops there. lady gu died 3 years before, her sould was trapped in some plane. on the night of the two moons, xihe fell into the water and her soul met lady gu. and then the two combined. so no one replaced the other really but there are soul souls inside of her.
this is the authors note about it
The female protagonist is reborn – can be seen as Gu Qingzhi reborn as Shen Xihe, or Shen Xihe gaining Gu Qingzhi’s experiences through a cheat, growing up anew. The reborn protagonist is neither Gu Qingzhi nor Shen Xihe, but someone entirely new!

novel really doesn't go into the lie family background, he's a warrior and fell for xihe. but he quickly realizes…
Yep, Prince Lie is the younger full brother to Prince Xin. Prince Lie does still have feelings but manages to hold himself back once understands Xihe will never look at him. Prince Xin also gets there to a point but I stopped at chapter 635 so idk if he fully straightens out or goes more deranged. Though, I say lightly bc in the novel Prince Xin was more weary of the Crown Prince and more scared of him. The TV ver of him disregards that more
Well, the fine difference that many people don’t seem to get is that she didn’t love him because her character…
They did actually, when Huayong was talking to Xihe about lady gu, he says she was forced into marriage. with her brains she could've gotten out of it but her duty to her family was strong and marrying him was a gamble to protect her family, a gamble she lost.
Again, she acts like she doesn't like but secretly likes, and at this point, ML should stop and let her navigate…
No, she's pretty much all in once they do get together. She's still not in love but she does give more. In the novel, she was straight up colder even in getting together phase. In the show, they make it more clear she does have feelings but she's scared of his power, thus, pushing him away.
and he won't get tired of her clearly, he likes her the way she is and accepts her the way she is, if only most people had his insight,
you do remember that he's out-right threatened her with her friends secret, with the emperor and then has made choices on her behalf without ever speaking to her about it?
