Its actually worse than that. His father produced a deed of indenture to the He family signed by her father. So…
Yes, this is what I heard too. Yes, I also think that, they want to silence Ayan as soon as possible. Indeed, if she ever set foot in the Wen Mansion as the son's wife, they will certainly find a way to silence her for good. Because she is a witness in the admunition case. That way they insure the legacy of their lineage.
You know I was thinking at the very end, before I even saw the last episode 😅, that the show had actually put…
Yes, at the ending, there a jump in time to 15 years later. And the FL is sighing at the look of the ring SML gave her. As she is reluctanct to accept ML's letter. We understood that she is mourning SML as his wife for 15 years.
I'm also shocked I spent most of the episodes telling the screen to run away and let it all behind
Right? I was shocked too. Like my blood was boiling. I couldn't believe their punishment was to let her sleep with her enemy. If she ever does, he will kill her as soon as he can. Because she is an important witness in the admunition case. SML is the worst.
As for female lead I was afraid for her over the course of the multiple killing attempt she was victim of. Between stabbing and poisoning. I don't know with one is worst. [updated]
Same, they did have those extra days (no thanks to Pei Yan 😒) to come up with excuses.
I hope they will find a way to discredit this pact of servitude when the resume trial. It would be a shame if Ayan marries this rapist or anybody and can't uphold justice to her late husband.
Girl needs to run away. Nothing is stopping her from doing so. Fuck the clay cat.
She cannot leave the marquis's mansion just like that. The marquis is powerful, he spread the rumor that she was his maid (slave), he forced her into stabbing him, so that she has a possible conviction if she flees him. She is almost like in a prison at the Pei's.
Not abusers, they are both brutal and have agenda in their minds, not romance focus.
They are not both abusers. FL is awakened from her chivalric dream with the marquis. And now she is getting closer to ML. But i think that ML is not that violent. Because when the two of them met, they were strangers and ML was on a mission. He tried to kill FL 3 times and also tried to use her but failed to do so. However, as soon as he started to have feelings for FL he became her protector in every situation and against the whole world. SO yes, ML is a grey character but not a red flag.
On the contrary, SML seemed to be a gentleman and a righteous man but as time passes. FL learned that he can collude with the enemy, he does shenanigans to make his slave out of her and he can't be trusted. And we see that as soon as SML started to develop feeling for FL, he becomes more and more obsessive and manipulative. So SML is the violent one, the red flag.
I can't compare a soldier on a mission with a manipulative sociopath.

It is going to be good to see a new side of her
