i genuinely don't get what the issue was, i aint that big of a gamer & i for sure haven't played any simulation games, but to me regardless of how a character presents itself, they all an A-sexual machine that can't feel - not even AI can. it has no emotion's, it's programed to give appropriate response to key word or sentence's. it maybe great at outputting the correct info/answers that will please the player. but that doesn't turn it human. **************************************************************************so logically if u have a certain character in a game, their frame of reference will be a combination of personalities let alone genders IMO... i get that gamers that were addicted to Yuka, were not exactly rational people to begin with & when they found out, they felt like it was all a lie, so their knee jerk reaction is to lash out. ***********************************************************but IMO this kinda ridiculous & i get this issue has been over blown for the drama as we a few eps from the end & we couldn't have smooth sailing until the end - still calling it b.s.*********************************************************************************same with Hill going hat in hand trying to appeal to Art's conscience - like r u kidding me?!? i know he wasn't there when Junji didn't just reject him he also apologized - i was impressed with how graciously Junji handled the whole break-up. but what does Art do, betrays Junji. yet Hill there begging Hill to think about the game he created & Junji who he loves. like r u kidding me? even not knowing a thing about Art the sec u know he didn't just f*ck his workplace over he humiliated someone that he not only supposedly loves, but wanted to get back with - this type of person deserves that kid-glove behavior? why?!???? & if that wasn't enough - all that groveling, Hill was about to sacrifice his love - like r u kidding me???? ugh frustrating ep (wont even mention the moronic attention seeking with Phat - like plz).

Past wrongs righted

BeiLu saves the day in this episode. The tracking device arrives at just the right time for time administration to intervene. It is not revealed what caused the lapse on their side that allowed Feng house take advantage. The administration now has to catch up on all the history nodes that were contaminated by the artifact thieves. BeiLu was allowed one visit with BiZhi in the past as Ziyi. The handshake rather than bow let BiZhi remember him. BeiLu is in the hospital recovering from a car accident. His parents are alive and his friends are changed for the better. They are the selves they would have been had the car crash of BeiLu’s parents not occurred. The vet clinic has a more orderly run of things and BeiLu is a calmer more self assured person than we saw in the beginning. Miao Tong and assistant are both back together and her village was saved. They are wrapping that up and she now is going to stick with him the way he did with her previously. BiZhi makes one last visit to BeiLu. He sees that history has righted itself and he can be happy for his friend. This ends the show with a slight possibility of a sequel. I would love a season two that brings our friends back together.

both the bottoms kinda annoyed me in this…

both the bottoms kinda annoyed me in this ep - took me freakin ages to sit through this, cause of their antics. but will admit i get Phat's POV, even if Bay wasn't a player, Phat having lived with his sister & mother witnessing 1st hand how men played both & how it turned them bitter & reclusive, logical that he would be very weary of getting into a relationship with a saint, let alone a player like Bay. who could change his mind in a sec & break Phat's heart irrevocably... so i got him. *********************** but with Junji, it felt like he was enjoying 2 guys fight over him. even if he knew he would never give Art a 2nd chance, for him it was a great ego massage that both Art & Hill were fighting & working so hard over him. that's why he waited until the end of the ep to go to Hill. & then too he waited for Hill to say his peace, apologize & then confess. **************************************while the whole while i was thinking that Hill deserved better & with all due respect to the fact that Yuka is based on Junji, she isn't him - a simulation game character was the one that was doing the job they were programed to do; supporting, encouraging & helping Hill - not Junji. so what if Yuka was based on Junji's personality? she was a combination of all the people working in Junji's company & on her simulation game - so going along those lines he should've fallen for & confessed to everyone in that company!

Probably the most meaningful episode yet

This episode did the most to move the plots along since the beginning. For the Hua family's Imperial punishment plot, this episode finally saw the men start their journey to exile. This episode also used that to trigger a final come-to-terms moment between Hua Zhi and all the rest of the women as they once again made a stupid mistake that resulted in brutal consequences for her. This pushed her to the edge of considering severing ties with her family. And the third major plot thread - the romance - gets a major boost as the two leads finally spend some 'quality time' together as the ML shows up to help her out when she is beaten and alone. All in all, because of all the forward progress on the three major plot lines, this is easily my favorite episode so far.

Market lord’s history

BeiLu is trying to get to the timerift marketplace to warn BiZhi that Ning is searching for him. BiZhi has heard the backstory of the market lord and promised to look into what happened to her village. The back story of the Dashun jade was a path of betrayal. A greedy thief was selling artifacts on the sly and then stealing them again for the warehouse. Ning was pushed off a cliff because the friend she was trying to rescue did not want to turn himself in. She lost her leg as a result. This made her willing to give harsh punishment to the seller that accidentally revealed location of goods to BiZhi. We also see the relationship of the market lord and her aide. He persuaded her to leave her time to be a time administrator and then stayed with her in the market place. BeiLu is intensifying his efforts to find entrance to the time rift market to warn BiZhi . BiZhi is working from his time to stop the thieves from collecting rare artifacts by killing the owners/creators in their time eras and selling these items in exclusive auctions to future buyers.
