So entertaining and funny. I laughed so much when Xue Ding Fei pulled the salt bae move. Also hilarious was when BL and ZLH reacted the stabbing scene in different dialects.

Per drama, JXN liked ZZ, but I feel it’s more of an admiration and infatuation kind. ZZ also developed feelings for her but in a way he missed his chance because he didn’t seize the moment when she was fawning over him.

I agree. I intentionally hold off reading the novel until ep 34 aired. I didn’t want to have my drama viewing experience be ruined with spoilers. Like you and other viewers, I also sympathized Zhou Yin Zhi because of the way he was portrayed in the show, as if helping and loyal. Not until the very last minute in the show we were able to see his true color, as written in the novel which I didn’t even get to the part he killed FangYin until after the show finished.

Zhou Yin Zhi 's character is described as the worst of snakes in the novel. He played everyone he could to benefit his career and social status, and was one of the main persons leading to the downfall of the Yan family. In the 1st life, I believe when Yan Li returned to the capital, the first person he sought out to kill was Zhou Yin Zhi. In the 2nd life, JXN pardoned Zhou Yin Zhi's life, hoping that she could also change his fate for the better and didn't want to fault him for something he hasn't committed yet. In the novel, he did kill FangYin, and for that, he had to pay.

I like that XW could tell JXN has feelings for him and called her out on it. Because he was able to read her, he came on to her hard sometimes with those punishing kisses and harsh words; because she was trying to deny and suppress her feelings for him.

I agree. I think he believes she's different and somehow has "knowledge" of what's to happen, but doesn't want to delve more into the intricacy incase it "messes" things up. That's why when she blurted out that he had killed her before, he believed it and didn't even question her the "how" and "when" of the incident.

She's smiling at him like a school girl. So adorable. =)

She was referring to herself in the 1st life.

Hahaha.. great response!😝

Double whammy! hahaha...that's too ouchy. 🤣

I still don't know exactly why he was banned. Can you please explain?

Either she fell or started to have strong feelings for him, and he was aware of this. That was why he was upset every time she mentioned she wanted to leave the capital or end ties between them because he felt that she wouldn't even give him/them a chance even though she may have feelings for him already, that he's not worth to be with.

"Loosing his sh$ts!" LOL...🤣

So calm and collected standing in the center with full trust in his people to protect him while they defeated the prince. It made him looks so cool.

No, he doesn't know martial arts.

But he was so brutally honest about the poor quality of her qin skills. =)

And continued only after she kissed him back...

What I like about XW. He left JXN alone when he thought she liked Yan Li, and later ZZ, even though he probably started to like her already. He only started to be more forthcoming with his intention for her after she broke down to him about leaving ZZ.

It's a dream, but in the drama that's also how she had been explaining to people how she knew about things from previous life, that she "had a dream."

Just before he committed suicide, he had her hairpin in his hand.
