I totally agree with you. I don't want to see it either. They at least avoided the kisses and the two were never together in the same frame with longing glares at each other. I am thankfull for that. At least they spared us.
Yes, he is a dark character that hid his actions for long. At the same time he thinks that he can get the girl while harming her friends. Completely delusional.
YQ was always a dark character, but he used to hide his real face. SML never switched to the dark side. he was…
@addictedtokdramasince200 Yes, YQ faked the death of the 10 beauties. I think that it was : 1) because if Mei Lin knew about him killing them. She would have hated him, Thus, he would never had any glimpse of hope with her. ( which he lost when Mei Lin knew about the "blood slave technique") 2) because it was an official mission to keep peace between the states. If he had murdered them; the threat of war would have been stronger.
As for MRJH. He was doing what Mei Lin was asking. When he met her as a beggar, she said she would indure any suffering as long as she can die killing the culprit of Qinzhou mass murder. It was their agreement. This why MRJH never apologize for the training period in "Shadow Works Faction", and Mei Lin didn't mention it either. I would say that it was much needed, or else she would have confessed under CP Murong XuanLie's torture.
Yes YQ respects Mei Lin , but I would rather say that he fears Mei Lin's aknowledgment of his misdeeds. But, instead of stopping him. he has a tendency to hide them from her.
YQ is a dark character. I am only stating the facts :
Did he collude with Murong Xuan Lie, even though he knew that Shu Muo's death was linked to Murong Xuan Lie? Yes, he did.,
Did he used the henchmen of Murong Xuan Lie to frame Murong Jing He for murdering 10 beauties ? Yes, he did.
Did he try to hide it from Mei Lin hoping that he could manipulate her in hating her beloved Prince Jing, because he wanted to still her love? Yes, he did.
Did he try to make Mei Lin feel in debt with him from the very begining, offering her ( several times) the assistance of his henchmen to help her in her revenge. For the sole purpose of manipulating her into keeping the interaction with him? Yes, he did. (This is why Prince Jing did not want her to make any promises to YQ. And he said that he would repay YQ's favor in her stead.)
Did he try to force Mei Lin into marrying him, by negociating a "trade agreement" with the Emperor of great Yan, whereas he was colluding with the Xiyan's Priest to fake the Crown Prince election ceremony? Yes he did. (Again, he sole purpose was to take Mei Lin with him. He had to make her feel in debt with him for saving her life. Meanwhile, she had to come with YQ in Xiyan to avoid his father killing attempt. If the latter did'nt believe that YQ was the real reincarnetion of sun kunlun, YQ would have been killed by his own father long ago.)
====> Now Mei Lin and Yue Qin are in Xiyan. The guy knows that Mei Lin is still completely in love with Murong Jing He.
What does he do :
First, he is following her everywhere she goes and he also asked his henchmen to do the same.
Secondly, he asked MRJH to never see her again ( let go of her) at the memorial ground. (wich is weird, because MRJH is the governer of the city, his position might lead him to see her again)
Thirdly, he harmed several maids, in the process of looking for a way to keep Mei Lin, knowing that she would never permit this kind of atrocities to take place because of her. Obviously, he knows it as well. So he chose to hide his crime (as usual) and lied to Mei Lin about her recovery.
Forthly, Mei Lin has discovered his crime. What is YQ's great idea??? Lock her up and harming her to suppress her martial arts skills and thus not keeping his promise of giving her freedom of choice.
To conclude YQ was always a dark character, who conceiled his misdeeds from the very begining. And only now, Mei Lin can see his real face.
I don't know if I'm convinced about this switch to the dark side of SML... I could picture ML do something like…
YQ was always a dark character, but he used to hide his real face. SML never switched to the dark side. he was always in the darks side. On the contrary, MRJH used to enact character who was supposed to be in the dark side : the playboy, the "master of shadow works". MRJH is not a bad character. The "shadow works master" was a fake identity for a play. His main purpose has always been the greater good. https://mydramalist.com/680797-chun-hua-yan#comment-19272466 Unlike YQ, who has a good image but since the very beginning, was colluding with Murong Xuan Lie. And tried to fake 10 beauties death to pin the crime on Murong Jing He. Because the guy is obsessed with Mei Lin. We saw him coming. He couldn't play cool any longer when he saw that he would loose the one he is obsessed with.
Yep, her falling in love was him was so unconvincing, and to the point where this extremely righteous woman decides…
@cmschatton When she killed the Eunuch Murong XuanLie was choking. She did the right thing. Remember : The eunuch said : "kill me to save the Emperor" I am paraphrasing. She killed him to avoid the eunuch to confess that Murong Jing He had already found the antidote and was giving it to the Emperor. Killing him, she saved the Emperor and Pledge allegiance Xian Lie, who was so stunned when the lady chose him. That he did not piece things together and understood that Luo Mei was saving time for the Emperor to heal.
But yes, you are right, this should also, have awakened her from her crooked fantasy of love.
What woke her up for good was the battle rhythm played on the Deng Wen drum. The girl wanted so much to stay in that fantasy.
No character development? Well... They have time to show that on the battle to come. In the book Luo Mei dies to protect Jing He. Let's see what the drama team will come up with.
he was already given the antidote which worked on him. Mei Lin's unique blood chemistry prevented her from detoxifying…
No need for indications. MRJH took the same poison he previously gave to Mei Lin. Momai poison is a slow acting poison. We saw Mei Lin living a normal life for months before the poison kicks in. At that point of time Mei Lin took the antidote (the Red Poixe something) which gave her 1 year left to live. So basically MRJH is at an early stage of poisoning by Momai poison.

And the Emperor's romance was just disgusting .
Too bad Luo Mei couldn't keep her personality till they end. Se had to fall for CP. Big NO NO.
Yes I don't know what will be the ending. At this point anything can happeen but I would like a HE.
At the same time he thinks that he can get the girl while harming her friends.
Completely delusional.
Yes, YQ faked the death of the 10 beauties.
