Thanks for the spoilers. Do you have any idea which episode will start the capital arc? I believe that after the current governor arc, they’ll move into the engagement arc with the monk. There’s still a lot left to unfold in Linji, so the capital arc might end up being a short one.

Yes, that’s true. But honestly, 8.5 is way too low for a drama like this. This is more like an 8.7‑rated (maybe more) drama, and I hope it eventually reaches that. But sometimes some dramas are just unlucky and get hate and downvoted for no real reason.

Well, I don’t know what’s going on with the rating, but it’s actually going downward. Three or four days ago, this drama was ranked around #550, and now it’s at #611. If it keeps dropping like this, the rating might fall to 8.4. It doesn’t make sense at all. The drama has had some of its best episodes in the last few days, yet the rating keeps going down. You would think that once other dramas like TUS and Shine on Me finished airing, viewers would move to this drama and the rating would go up. But the opposite happened.

2nd sister in Team RSB

I think RSB was slightly inspired by what LJL said to her at the bridge. He told her that no matter what happens, he will always follow true justice. That helped her think clearly and gave her the courage to confront the grandma with those words.

That old hag and her corrupted, self‑made ideology… Thanks, RSB, for calling her out. I still can’t believe that yesterday, a few grandma fans were actually arguing with me, saying they like what she’s doing. Sigh.

Don't know why, but I just want to slap the monk guy whenever he comes to the screen.

The chief producer of this drama Yu Zheng attended a livestream last year at the start of the drama’s production. He shared some details about this project and even gave a small spoiler about the ending of this drama. A summary of the livestream was posted in the MDL discussion section by the user @Iris_03

Well, I have nothing good to say about the grandma. I just hope she gets the same treatment as the other villains in this drama. They might try to give her a redemption arc because she’s ‘family’ and all that, but she absolutely doesn’t deserve any redemption.

Yeah, I’m waiting for the epic Inspector Lu entrance in the ancestral hall. It’s just my wish, but I want LJL to arrest not only Yan but also the grandma, haha. Just my wish, lol.

So Yan slapped RSB? Do you have a link for that?

Haha, you’re welcome. It’s been a long time since I’ve been this invested in a drama. I don’t watch dramas much these days, but this one really got me hooked, lol. So now I’m trying to find clues from online sources.

Oh damn! I thought differently. 😔😔

I was hoping they would wrap up the Linji episodes by 24, but based on the previews, it looks like they might continue into 25–26 or even more 😔😔

Some people were arguing with me today, saying they actually like the grandma’s way of doing things. I was honestly surprised by what I saw in the MDL discussion, lol. Haha, I guess people have different opinions.

I think LJL will arrest Yan during the wedding ceremony at the Rong ancestral hall. In one of the trailers, there’s a scene where LJL enters the hall wearing his official red robe, with a large group of people following him.

I don’t think they’re acting anymore. The angst is inevitable at this point, and there’s nothing we can do about it. I think RSB will understand what LJL is going through. Most of the angst will probably come from the oath with the grandma and Yan’s manipulation. Let’s see how it goes. Hopefully the angst doesn’t last too long.

Found this on X, a scene from a future episode, possibly the last episode

Really hyped about today’s episodes.

Thanks for saying this. I have a similar view. Sometimes it’s hard for me to understand how someone can try to find excuses for wrong actions and justify things that are clearly not right.

Well, taking the vow as the family’s name and then intentionally claiming it for herself, If she truly had goodwill, I don’t believe she would ever do that. She would only give an example. I don’t think anyone can deny the fact that she’s the root cause of all the current problems, the broken sibling relationships, and the overall toxicity in the family. Anyway, let’s drop this for now. I’m just pissed off and not choosing the right words. I need to cool down. I’ll wait for today’s episodes. Hopefully, we get something good in today's episodes.
