The family of charity

This episode introduces us to a family with two daughters marrying. The one from the first marriage came down from Lishan mountains and the other has been the favored daughter. An imperial sign was taken during wedding preparations and the search is on. Because of the search the matriarch had to give up the keys to Ye Li’s dowry boxes and it was clear they were ransacked and exchanged. She very wisely gets the transfers of all her mother’s gifts that night instead of waiting for ceremony. The plaque is found in the pond and the family of charity looked more like the family of filth. I don’t know if that’s a younger sibling, but their plan worked to get her dowry returned before leaving the house. The eldest was promised to Prince Li but the engagement was broken and she was offered a betrothal to Prince Ding instead. It is clear when she is forced to walk by his entourage that Prince Li might have been forced to alter his plans, but did not have the spine to stick up for her. The crippled Prince in spite of his attitude seems a much better candidate. They have not given us the history as to why she was banished or what Ye Li’s mother saw in her husband other than a pretty face. It is even more a mystery why she was betrothed to Prince Ding. Ye Li argued directly with the minister to get her betrothed to the ceremony. Here was her final surprise. Tho a cripple, he wasn’t a weakling. He scares her with a fake seizure and makes it clear he has no interest in their marriage. I guess the humans are better than the mountain monkeys, but they don’t seem much kinder, they just bite differently. I like Ye Li’s pragmatic approach to dealing with her relatives. She recognizes her place but refuses to be cheated and diplomatically gets her things returned, including her groom.😂 I am curious how she and Prince Ding will interact after his very direct snub.

Fu Yin!!!

I feel like I cursed Fu Yin and Du Ning... that poor man, this directors are allergic to happy relationships. I understand Fu Yin's heart, but the plan itself is so silly... At the beginning of the series, I didn't realize that Lu Qi and Lu Han Xing were different people, so I thought Lu Qi had orchestrated the fire, but now I'm not so sure and don't want to go back, so I will find out alongside Fu Yin. And also, Lu Han Xing is having an affair with the green-tea maid, giving her stolen objects and telling her way too much, why I feel that situation will blow up terribly?I want to see more of our main couple; I miss their cute moments. Now all I see is the demon Zhou, but at least Rou'er is setting more boundaries now. Talking about crown prince, I'm happy he and his brother reconcile, and listening to good outside advice, but I hate prince Han's suggestion to forgive crown princess. If he ever did so (and his attitude worries me a little) he would have been unworthy of Chen Ji sacrifice.

Finally a Court Lady

I'd been wondering for ages when Du Ning and Fu Yin would reappear, and here they are, and they're still so cute together! Finally, a couple that's getting married swiftly in this series TTI'm glad the emperor still has some affection for the crown prince, and the scene where he places the cloak on him made me very happy.Rou'er and Lady Li are still friends and now Rou'er is finally a court lady!

Like father like daughter

Meeting the crown princess's father made me understand why she acts the way she does; he's just as stupid as she is. If the crown prince loses his position, what will become of his daughter? Truly hoping this won't affect his position anymore than it already has (mainly because I don't want to think about demon Zhou as emperor), but he's surrounded by too many bad advices.I feel very sorry for Chen Ji, but at the same time I admire him for being such a loyal person. And that's how I know that the crown prince is a good man, knowing that he would be deposed if he didn't kill Chen Ji, he still accepted the risk and tried to save him. They deserve each other's love and honored their bonds in the end.What's truly unfair is that the entire troupe died because of this as well. Furthermore, Lu Yun Ji was easily pardoned, but Duke Cheng wasn't? What a just emperor.I'm curious to see how Ying Ying's crush on Zi Fang will turn out, with him wanting to kill her family and all that. I love how open she is to romance, not shy or well-behaved at all, which is a very welcome change.Lastly, love the sisterhood between Xin Nan and Rou'er, the woman that never seem able to get married. I also enjoy seeing the partnership between Prince and Princess Han.

Poor crown prince

I feel sorry for the crown prince, he makes questionable decisions and commits "mistakes" (at the time, they were mistakes), but he's young and human; it's just that nobody can be too sympathetic to him because he's going to become the emperor eventually. So he is reprimanded by everyone, trapped with a terrible wife (who is fatally unaware of the gravity of her position and actions... She is also human and young, but that's another conversation), and is losing his only good friend. All of this, overwhelming him at once, I understand why he slapped her.Throughout the drama, I never paid much attention to Lady Situ (although I went from disliking her to truly admiring her), so I didn't expect her story to end that way. She reminded me of the Third Madam, someone who had her flaws, but who, deep down, was a kind-hearted person who did everything for the well-being of her children. I cried a lot, being so close to freedom but so far away.I was worried that this marriage confusion would last much longer, so I'm relieved. Although I'm starting to get anxious about when the wedding between the main characters will finally happen, and hoping it doesn't take 40+ episodes.As for Yan Zi Fang, I'm happy (albeit a bit worried, since one harasser is enough) to have him back. Mainly because he's yet another person trying to take down the Lu family. I hope this doesn't change Rou'er's heart and that he doesn't think she owes him something just because he reformed.

I wasn't prepared for this...

They must be kidding! Both of her parents died in one episode? I wasn't prepared for that... not one bit. At least Zhao has learned the truth about the pill A'Jiu gave to her father, and hopefully, they will be fine from now on.

Exciting

The second episode is quite exciting, though I didn't understand why and how the ML following the FL to the island. Initially I thought the FL is accompanying the ML but maybe the convers is true or maybe they just met coincidentally.

OMG! The backhand slap by Madam Li !!!

At one point in this episode,, as a side part of one scene, Yang Xian's friend Zhao Liangcheng notices how pretty Qiong Nu is and starts to approach her ... and all of a sudden, with the smoothest, perfect timing, Madam Li backhands him in his face, knocking him to the ground and walks on past him without hesitation. The physical comedy is so perfect.! Love little nuggets like that! It's not an important part of this episode's storyline, but possibly hints at the future because they still need to find a groom for Qiong Nu.

A rollercoaster of emotion

You just have to watch it to appreciate the play of emotion. Their acting only especially Fourth, even without any dialogues, will make you hold your breath through the last scene

One of my favorite episodes so far.

It's really cool to watch Le Shan's character slowly but steadily growing. Her sense of responsibility and caring expanding to fit her newfound authority. You can see how going through with and watching her 4 sisters go through their various trials has prepared her. And along with that we see Xian's admiration of her growing and her sympathy and understanding of his plight also growing. Love how the two of them end up working together to take back control of the Yang household from his rotten sisters, brother-in-law and useless father.
