Episode 21. Yeah, this Shengyi needs to die a horrible death. And her scum husband too. Sorry, not sorry. I hope…
She is a traumatised soul but other people don't owe her to die because of her mistakes. After choosing her husband instead of Mu Dan who even gave her equity on the shop to feel secure, etc. she deserves to get him. Even if Mu Dan forgives her she is not a person who can counted on in the future.
Episode 20.Yep, I was right! Psych! Not a sexy bed scene. And darn!🤣Geez, the ex is dumb as a stump. 🤪Telling…
There is no way the ML would be anybody if he was not stone-hearted. He is very well contrasted to her ex husband who is wishy washy and can never do anything. To protect people and accomplish things one should fight and win, not miss opportunities constantly. If that ex really loved Mu Dan, he would never mention her name again, pretend she is dead, he cannot protect her but constantly brings attention to her - CRAZY! It is almost like he wants to own her so much he is ok with her dying because of him. Also, it is kind of funny how he doesn't know anything about his society - because he can throw tantrums at home, and his mother humours him, he thinks anyone will humour him...
If I watched this drama after all the episodes had dropped, or even if 2 episodes dropped, of have skipped episode…
But she is initially so weak because of that family - they have raised her to be like that to use and abuse her. It is very difficult to break free from family. Hoping she wakes up and starts fighting for herself and her friends.
I sympathise with Sheng Yi. I feel like everyone else is looking at her through a modern day lens. Ignoring the…
Even in modern times there is statistics it takes around 7 times for a victim to leave their abuser so it is very difficult.
She still wouldn't inherit anything from her husband - one of the reasons women are so destitute in such societies, is they cannot own property. If she had a an adult son she may be ok but otherwise she would be at the mercy of her husband's family, who would find a way to get rid of her by marrying her to someone else or some such thing.
Ok I didn't wanna say this but Shengyi hate is getting out of hands..She is one of the most authentic and realistic…
Also it is very difficult to leave abusive relationships and it takes several tries. Taking into account the fact she has not turned her back on her family and village, it is even more difficult to stay strong. The love-bombing also probably makes her think - it will be ok this time... After all Peony 'woke up' because her servant/close friend died; and found the strength to stop giving up on herself. That Liu family is so annoying a disgusting parasite.
Loved this so much - additionally because of the HE and an ending that makes sense. It is frankly ridiculous that with more than 30 episodes so many dramas this year couldn't figure their shit out (while also having at least one-episode-lenght amount of useless scenes).
Great acting from the whole cast and amazing cinematography, which enhanced the whole experience. Both main leads were not a favourites of mine before (maybe it was their previous characters) but they delivered wonderfully.
Producer and director said FL 2nd life was to go beyond basic revenge. It was to liberate herself from that so…
She was destroyed by Duke Jing (who became her husband) and her mother [same happened in the last life in a different way but this time she was an innocent person]. It was "no matter the circumstances" untrustworthy and unreliable people will drag one down and destroy them, so should be avoided at all cost. The Duke could only do BS and couldn't accomplish anything and her mother made her into a 'stupid' person (so she could control her), which lead her to falling for a 'bad' person and dying because of him. In contrast Ansu, managed to extract herself from her husband (because she understood her feelings should be ignored when they are different from the "right path") before being destroyed. Ming not leaving him after the miscarriage, I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, and it did.

Yes, she didn't personally get revenge on the stepmother but the stepmother herself destroyed her and her daughter's lives. Still found their interactions super annoying but then again it was the husband/father who was to blame for FL's mother's death. It showed, even if one makes mistakes, if you decide to go on the right path again, there is a way for redemption.
I enjoyed the drama until FL's confession. I wish she would have stayed true to her conviction and would not pursue…
To me it felt that a major dream of the FL initially was to have a peaceful and loving family (which she couldn't have after her mother dying and her father marrying another woman), after being utterly betrayed by her husband - then she doesn't want to marry to protect herself from that kind of pain. It is not just that she doesn't want to marry and finding "the right man" makes her change her character but she finds a man that can be trusted, depended and relied on, so she changes her mind.
