nah I think dude would've stopped and begged for his life if she had revealed her identity. if it doesn't help then it doesn't help.. but to not even do it at all is silly, you can't just chalk it up to him going through with it anyway. if that's the case, they should've played it out how you imagined the scenario.. you can't assume it won't work and not even try it in a situation like that. idc if he had all those excuses to fire at her, you think dingbei wang would just let him be? like "whoopsie, my bad your wife seduced me I didn't know who she was". just the attempted SA got his jewels chopped (they didn't show but I'd assume from the off screen sword slash and scream), imagined if he succeeded.. head def rollin

anyway, the SA attempt scene had to happen to intro a new bodyguard character. and in order for him to go through with the attempt, he needed to be unaware of who is was. with that said, they should've left her mouth gag on! because it makes zero sense that she could speak again but didn't drop that anvil of a fact on him.

ofc, but they should've kept her mouth gag on and proceed with the SA attempt.. is what i'm saying. it's bad writing to remove her mouth gag and then not have her proclaim her identity to full stop the situation.

i'm fine if they never had him take off the mouth gag, but since he did.. name dropping one of the baddest mofo in the capital would've probably helped immensely in a situation where you're about to be SA. she wasn't too shock, had enough sense to try to "reason" with him.

very poor writing on that part.

bruh she couldn't just tell the lecher dude she's dingbei wang's wife?

ditto, I think the masked "savior" might be the "3rd person" too

oh no Shi Yuan!!! burn that painting broooo

no, the options are for him to decide what he wants; family vs power. remember he came back to wei this time to try to usurp wei shao's power. she simply told him, if he wants power... there's a clear and easy path for that in bianzhou (he's the heir over there now). but if he does that, due to the feud wei has chen pang.. they will be enemies. like it's pretty black and white so there's really no need to discuss or reason anything and she knows he's intelligent enough to see all that.
he already previously had misunderstanding/distrust for her so if she tried to "woo" him with words he would think she's just trying to pull the wools over his eyes

I didn't think it was an "ultimatum" more so just laying reality on the table and what his options are. WY is smart, I t don't think it would go well trying to dance around the bush

lol this is not cultivation genre, no changing bones and cleansing/opening meridians here :P

wei yan had previously teased xiao tao by swiping her nose at the jewelry shop.

ya, her name could very well be a pun hehe

I'm aware. but she got feelings before finding out.

this reminds me of "that winter, the wind blows"
sis got the feels for her brother.

these are like 15min eps? why didn't they just release it as a movie lol

this entire friend group can give liu shishi a run for her money. damn good criers lol

lmao I will retire from watching drama if such a character gets a "redemption"

ling zhi is a giant button!!
her and han yan's "mother daughter" heart to heart moment 😭

oh ya went back to rewatch, the giant needle was from the candle stand hanyan was holding to defend herself, he slashed at it and it flew off into the wall

someone threw the giant "needle" into the wall that dumbass bro slipped into.

regarding the caning; he knew xiwen wouldn't let her baby be caned, it was an elaborate trap to cripple xiwen and "imprison" her in the family, he even said his inner thoughts before killing her that he was sure she would've left him long ago had she not been wheelchair bound.

hanyan: "why did you choose me?"
boy you better stop lying and answer truthfully in the next episode lol
