He supported her when she is at her lowest and trusted her and accepted her mistakes during those times. The reason…
i get tingyues frustration though - zhao ling just wouldnt communicate with her and tell her whats going on. zhao ling was the one who stopped letting her in into his thoughts and explain his reasons. from her perspective, zhao ling would suddenly no longer talk things through with her and he would do things she couldnt understand. even when she questions him, he doesnt give her a real answer. this plus the years they have spent apart - how could she not thing he has changed? she doesnt blame zhao ling for killing her father - she blames him for doing sth she considers unnecessary and dangerous if found out. She doesnt know that zhao ling killed her father bc her father killed her mother. she doesnt know bc zhao ling wouldnt tell her, so she blames him for being reckless. from her perspective, she isnt wrong. why do people blame her for not being able to read zhao lings mind???

the first half of the drama was sooo good, the second half feels somewhat lackluster. i have trouble finding motivation to continue watching to see it through until the end (im at ep 27 currently) its such a shame
I honestly don't understand all this pointless lying and drama. It kind of ruins the show for me. It would have…
i kinda understand it though. imagine telling your wife, who is a commoner and who you are very much in love with, that you actually are a marquis and general famous for being ruthless - when he knows that she fancies scholars. he just really doesnt want her to change the way she thinks of him.
additionally, judging by the previews, yz was put in a very weird position where the person he loves broke military rules. he has to uphold justice and punish rules being broken as to uphold morale in his military but at the same time he cant bring himself to punish his wife - so he decides to take the punishment as her husband. he cant do that (at least easily) as xie zheng bc he either needs to announce publically that changyu is his wife (officially, she sent him a divorce letter and he likely does not want to force her), she made a mistake and he would be bearing the punishment in her stead
of course, the miscommunication is annoying but to me, it makes sense for yan zhengs character
