Seeing how FTY and Mrs. Yu navigate the high society, I can't help think that had thinhs been different, they would have been a formidable duo.

Looks like things will go down next ep. She should consider this option once the dust settles down. 🤭

And of course mother's favorite son-in-law.

Rewatching this scene and the way FTY breathes a sigh of relief when she reaches ZL! Staaaaahhhhpppp!!!!!

Bro, ZL is trying really really realllllly hard to hold himself back.

That's what insecure people do. They can only bring others down so that they can feel superior.

Episode 8: FTY runs to ZL and hugs him in broad daylight (so scandalous omg!) to warn him

ZL: Your reputation.

FTY: I don't care. I can't let you die.


wtf they giving us this and they're just supposed to be faking it!

No no no no!!! I need more! Why end the episode like that???

It actually helps to take a break from studying. Resets the brain. So 1-2 hours a day for 1-2 episodes of TRTS seems perfect for that. 😉

Nah. Trolls love baiting people to do exactly that and then downrate all eps with 1 star. Just rate as usual when as the episodes come out.

It's because of trolls. DEX is amazing here.

Bunch of trolls, really.

IKR??? Like, excuse meee???? A concubine???

I think its great that the drama is attracting audience who prefer "this type" male lead. No need for those who can't process an emotionally mature, grounded ML.

And the thing is, he's not weak at all. He's just NOT a bully, overbearing ML.

This must be a comment for another drana because no one is sidelining Ding Yuxi in this series.

I guess it would seem that way if you see ZL and FTY as two people fighting against each other. I don't see it that way. Again they are not fighting against each other, they are fighting agains their circumstances. If you see their every interaction as a fight, a competition between ML and FL, then that is such a waste. Yeah she played up that swindling thing but ZL did try to get their money. And ZL took her HOSTAGE in her bedroom to get money and her taking action to save herself was necessary. If you think that'S outsmarting him, think of it that way. And FTY hasn't risen to anything nor saved everyone. She is practically on a chopping board if she can't convince ZL to cooperate. And it seems like you want ZL to punish her, and scream at her or go angry all over her. But ZL is not that kind of person. If there's anything these 6 episodes have established, ZL is a green forest, a green island, thank goodness we finally have a ML who is emotionally secured and regulated.

It's for those freaking lifeless stone arches outside their gates that apparently mean more than their granddaughter's life. Crazy, I know.

I really like how they are building Zhao Ling as an honestly, great guy. And some people be seeing that as "weak" is just a sad state.

Hmmm. I never saw it that way. It was never her outsmarting him for me. I see them as means to a goal. They are both taking actions towards their own goals and it's just right now, they have very different goals. ZL just want to finish this job of taking her to the capital and get his money. FTY wants to clear her name and needs ZL for that to happen. It's not like they are competing against each other for something. And yeah, he was pissed when FTY took off with that token but he's not an asshole so he's being rational about it and just went after her to get it and her back. And him leaving Sen alone with them was not dumb. How could he have known Sen would unknowingly reveal to TY that ballad and for TY to recognize what it was? And that new maid was a curveball no one saw coming. I am looking at their actions for what they are - reactions to situations as they present themselves. It's not about being one step ahead of each other or outwitting each other. Again, they're not supposed to be competing. People don't go through daily interactions thinking that way all the time. It's not man versus woman.
