where to start.. that ending was made ridiculous…

where to start.. that ending was made ridiculous with Thiwthit showing up with his henchmen all color coordinated. i get that that is how they infiltrated TD's bodyguard group (am guessing) but still, that was kinda slapstick stupid. & yet somehow fitting, of someone like Thiwthit - who is a really cuckoo... the fact he is on the run, but not slumming it & has money to fund his revenge, another plot hole but it is what it is. ****************************************************************************************& am happy that in this ep Armin was just having a nightmare - cause (yeah he got shot in the arm in his dream) but still dude is running out of lives lol... at least this not boring - ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************still annoying me that Lilly is going about her f*cked up business & she will get way with it.... pisses me off - ********************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************love both of Armin & TD's sidekicks - but idk how i feel about a 24 yr old getting set up with a 33 yr old - no matter how cute the 33yrs old is - **********************************************************************************************************************also i love Ponds visuals, dude is a work of art & not just talking about his face, BUT i can't watch him kiss & seen him in Fourever You, don't remember getting turned off by his kissing his co-star there, so idk why here it's such a turn off - just know for me, it's a pass.

Searching for the Ledgers

In Sun Mansion, He Yan remembered that Chu Zhao is the young master she once swindled. While Ding Yi noticed He Yan, not recognising her. To get his hands on the Tax Ledgers, Xiaojiao has decided to stay in Sun's Mansion for a few days. At the Banquet hall, Dancers performing, while the servants were pouring the wine in cups, the one who came to pour the wine in XiaoJue's cup was Ding Yi, just as XiaoJue was about to drink it, He Yan knocked the cup from his hand and the liquid which fell on the floor was poison even burning the floor. And the Assassins who were disguised as dancers took out their swords. He Yan helps in knocking out the Assassins, perfomance impeccable, acting like she just tripped, but Chu Zhao noticed it all. Decisively making it look like she didn't do anything while screaming just like how Cheng Lisu would've cause he doesn't know martial arts. But Ding Yi signalled the assassin to throw the poisoned powder, while He yan saw his hand's movement and immediately moved Xiao jue away and the powder was thrown on her. Now with every single Assassin dead, no interrogation can be done. He Yan got blinded by the powder, Xiaojue is kind of amazed to see that she's still calm even after losing her eyesight, while he does notices that she's not as calm as she looks. Chu Zhao guessed why He Rufei has sent his right hand man to Yezhou. They are planning to kill XJ in Yezhou and leaving no loose ends. Ding Yi seems to remember that he has seen Cheng Lisu (HY) somewhere. Xiaojue being gentle with He Yan, the water/tea drinking scene where he himself fed her water/tea, leading her to bed so she could aly down🫠, okay I melted there. We can see the Xiaojue felt a bit guilty that she was implicated in this. Oh my she really is taking his advantage right now, he was feeling guilty and nose taking care of her 🌝, even feeding her porridge. While He Yan has regained her eye sight with the remaining medicine given by her Master, but had to act Blind, she can do it perfectly cause she was blinded before. The hired Physician was already sus. XiaoJue's method to check how long He will play blind was 🦋🦋🦋🦋. Xiaojue really used He Yan as a gatekeeper/ distraction for the guards so he could sneak into the room to search for ledgers. While Chu Zhao came to protect He Yan from Sun Ling, and even escorting her back, move He Yan my turn. Ahhh his expression when He Yan ( intentionally) bumped her shoulder by the pillar🤭. CZ finally got a moment to talk to He Yan, but was called away by Ding Yi, while Ding Yi is approaching He Yan.

The Wanhua Pavillion

Xiaojue is tailing He Yan, following her to see where she is going to, seeing the man sent by He Rufei. She noticed XJ already ahhhh🤭, I'm a novel reader, and I've been trying my best to not compare it to the novel (cause they always modify some things). XJ still following her, while she's set on discovering about what Ding Yi will do here. He Yan went into the Wanhua Pavillion, cause from her pov XJ is not the typa person who'd enter this type of place🌚. Chu Zhao is in the pavillion, and his maid recognised He Yan, the fortune teller gentlemen they met while returning from Que City, literally our girl will do anything 😂. She really had SWINDLER written over her forehead when she sat in front of Chu Zhao🤣. Ahhhhhhhhhh finally the scene from trailer, the dancing scene in pleasure house🤭. Zhou Ye nailed it, she looks so amazing in this costume adding these accessories. He Yan was forced to get on the stage, while Ding Yi looked back at He Yan before going. The tension between them (He Yan and Ding Yi, the eye contact) really. She really is curious why Ding Yi is disguised as Sun Xiangfu's servant here. Ahhhhhhh presenting a sword dance 🗡️. I watched the same performance thrice continuously. Chu Zhao recognised that He Yan a woman is disguised as a man. Ahhhh XiaoJue came, and the moment he came in, He Yan was shocked like "he really came?" And even slipped and lost her balance 🤣. Now the thing she is doing on stage is just "Fumbling around" 😂. Saviour Chu Zhao is here, playing the flute for her, cause she lost the Rhythm 🤭. Xiaojue was smiling while looking at her 🤭. Ahhhhhhhhhhh throwing the rose at her 🌝, and her catching it with her sword!!! "A FLOWER FOR A BEAUTY" Xiaojue you won! 🌝. XJ was enjoying teasing her, and what's more funny is that she thinks XJ doesn't know she's a woman😂. XJ's suspicious because CZ keeps looking at HY so he's suspicious if they know eachother. Holy! that was a good shot HY, knocking out both the Men. Saving Song TaoTao, finally entered the frame. Song TaoTao almost became HeYan's fiancee when she was disguised as He Rufei, so call it fate (written by author). She's so adorable. The men came for STT, that was so touching (He Yan just told STT that I'm helping you cause you're a woman). Young master Sun captured both of em. While STT was shocked to hear the name Cheng Lisu (the very marriage she was escaping from). Just look at the wide smile of He Yan when she saw that XJ came asking "try your luck". That was hot when XJ just caught the whip in hand, so hot specially his expression 🔥. HY is really enjoying teasing Sun Xiangfu, just look at the expressions 😂. Sun Xiangfu really need to discipline his son, that kick while kicking him out was funny. I'm constantly staring at how He Yan is leaning forward on Xiao jue while holding his arm lol. Xiao Jiao eyes widened when he heard that it's not just any girl, it's Song Tao Tao, who He Yan saved. STT is so set on He Yan (thinking she's a man). Finally they'll be going to the Sun Mansion.

Waste not want not meds

Well now we know why disciple Chu is there. He is to get ledgers of fraud that implicates Chancellor. This is why Sun feels he will get assist. He Yan remembers her first meeting swindling Chu. The meeting with the two plotters is interrupted by Xiao Jue. They are not enthused but plans are made for a banquet. The man with less fingers brought in a troupe of dancers and musicians. Everyone is waiting for trap to spring. The less fingered man serves tea to Xiao Jue and He Yan knocks it from his hand revealing poison. The dancers then become a troupe of assassins. Here He Yan is amusing screaming for help exactly like Cheng would do, but subtlety taking care of some of the assassins. She did nicely not blowing her cover. Right when getting ready to investigate things, the last dancer throws powder. He Yan blocks and is same powder that blinded her years ago. The dancers are killed or commit suicide so there is no one left to interrogate. Xiao Jue leaves Chu and Sun to start investigation because that is their ‘jobs’. He guides He Yan back to the room. He shows special care getting around silk screen and getting her to the bed. The conspirators are plotting their next move but know that Xiao Jue must die to tie up loose ends. Fortunately for He Yan, she has medicine left from the doc. Without this, she would have remained blind. Xiao Jue figures out she can see when the ‘doc’ that comes in to treat her eyes was anything but. She stops him and sends him on his way to get the correct medicine and less bitter.😝 The race is on for who will get ledger. Xiao Jue deserts He Yan at a crucial guard point knowing she will make a good lookout.😂 She ties up the guards nicely and ends up having Chu escort her to room. He is called away for his duties, but less fingered guy is starting to remember her/him. Hopefully will be awhile til he makes connection since he is fake general’s henchman. Xiao Jue finds a nesting place amongst the rafters to be spared being caught by the lecher son. So far, everybody’s cover is intact but it will be a trial to figure out lock and stay alive while getting ledgers. Now to see who kills whom.
