Five Stars

Good beginning, from the modern timing, telling a story. The story starts with an Assassination attempt where our Transmigrator opens his eyes in this new world for the first time and is literally an infant. Fan Xian that is his name. The Butler really got slapped like that and lost a tooth. *Kaboom* especially what viewers want, a Strong MC. He tricked the invader and knocked him off. Uncle Wuzhu could've told him earlier that he's one of us. Fei Jie got hit for nothing then. He was sneaking around and got hit thrice. So practical example of "Fuck Around And Find Out". The story is really interesting. The new Shifu will be teaching him Medicine. Now he's there digging out a coffin. Well the interaction between Fan Xian and Wuzhu has me laughing, "Did my mother die of anger because of you?" "I've forgotten". Teaching him about poisons by feeding him one, nice one Shifu Fei. The Child actor is good by the way. His master left Danzhou. Seasons passed Years passed but the red armour knights never came until that one day.

Familial greed

The old man was a surprise. The contempt and almost disgust he had for his young son’s interest. Quite the polar opposite of all his philanthropy the day before. After seeing their actions youngest daughter and granddaughter are the only decent ones. The eldest has a chip the size of a mountain on her shoulder. The obedient daughter that did everything asked of her without standing up for herself til inheritance time. Daughter two is a thoughtless shopaholic with a cool breeze elder for hubby and wife is wondering what her lot will be with son gone. She was a 50 percenter…….maybe she will join 10% Club. Was the dad wanting son buried with him to honor him? Or hide evidence? Mr dancer has no defense except his wife wanted it done when shown his nail paint chip from the scene. All children and in-laws but third sis and granddaughter resented DuoBao. I don’t think they wanted him dead, but they resented the boy getting the bulk of inheritance. Considering how the father really felt about his son’s interests, I’m surprised he was getting the lion’s share too actually. After all this I guess custom demands the funeral feast even as murder investigation continues. This is a sad sorry bunch with two exceptions. The mother has a right to be distraught, but it seems overdone. Which is she crying over most? Her son or the loss of inheritance?

Rumors about the affair between Empress Fuca Rong Yin and Consort Chun

I agreed with some parts of what the former noble lady Jia said and I was saddened, but of course she could also be a supporter of goodness, just like Consort Chun and noble lady Yu. Consort Xian holds herself responsible for the end of the Hiafa Nara clan, Consort Xian's family. Consort Xian tried to console herself by killing the former noble lady Jia and looking at the son of the former noble lady Jia, the 4th prince Yong Cheng, as her own son. Consort Xian is unfortunately very empty and depressed because she sees herself as the guilty one. I was saddened by the killing of the former noble lady Jia because I think she did not deserve to die, let's see if Consort Xian will be called guilty for her death in other episodes... Er Qinq is right, I hope Empress Fuca Rong Yin will have a new prince soon. It is very sad to have to hide when you are sick because you are the empress. Noble Consort Gao's rumors that Empress Fuca Rong Yin and Consort Chun might be lesbians are just her kind of devilry. Wei Ying Luo's quick and clever action made me very happy as always 😻 It's a good thing Empress Fuca Rong Yin and Consort Chun weren't caught by Emperor Qian Long. Empress Fuca Rong Yin also found a good reason for the emperor. I think Emperor Qian Long himself had started to fall in love with Wei Ying Luo, and it seemed to me that he was slowly informing the Empress. I knew that Consort Chun had secretly treated Empress Fuca Rong Yin, and it turned out to be true. Consort Chun and Empress Fuca Rong Yin were amazed by Wei Ying Luo's loyalty. I hope Empress Fuca Rong Yin recovers soon and has a prince 😻

Understanding and solving some problems

Wei Ying Luo is literally fearless. Again, with her intelligence, she made a very good plan and gave the 1st degree prince Yi the punishment he deserved. Fuca Fu Heng almost fell into Wei Ying Luo's trap, but thanks to him suspicions, he understood Wei Ying Luo's plan. I was scared to death that something would happen to Hailancha 😭😭😭😭 As far as I understand, Fuca Fu Heng is innocent. I got really nervous during the conversation between Wei Ying Luo and Fuca Fu Heng, and I even got scared when Wei Ying Luo's knife hit Fuca Fu Heng's chest 😭😭😭😭 Ming Yu is always waiting for the opportunity to banish Wei Ying Luo... I knew that Empress Fuca Rong Yin understood Wei Ying Luo's plan. It was good that Fuca Fu Heng's older sister Empress Fuca Rong Yin wasn't told that Wei Ying Luo had injured her. Also, Empress Fuca Rong Yin asking Wei Ying Luo to send soup to her brother was a funny moment for me. Hailancha is so funny and cute 😻😭😭😭 I think Fuca Fu Heng has really started to fall in love with Wei Ying Luo, but I think it's too early to say the same for Wei Ying Luo. Consort Xian takes very good care of the 4th prince Yong Cheng 😻 I was so sad that the noble lady Jia would make her own son suffer like this. I love Consort Chun so much, she always supports the just and righteous person 😻 I was relieved that Emperor Qian Long gave the noble lady Jia the punishment she deserved. Noble Consort Gao is already as usual... I'm so happy that Emperor Qian Long chose Consort Xian to take care of the 4th prince Yong Cheng 😻😭😭😭

Customs and family greed

When they get to the caves little DuoBao is a walking Wikipedia of all information of caves and surrounding areas. He takes them to the best cave where it looks like a picture of him is on the wall. This is the providers of the cave. At the gate, one official is clearly snide to Lu. It can only be assumed as an official he had privy to all Lu’s demotions without the understanding of the why’s. The Governor is the regular overly gracious official greeting them in to keep everything status quo. As they are entering they see lots of celebration about the upcoming boat festival. Cloth goods and abundant food is being distributed among the poor and an elderly man is responsible for it all. They are introduced later at a welcoming celebration. Everybody is having a good time til they hear of the 60 year funeral celebration. When one reaches 60 they are taken to a cave and provided for by their family until it is sealed a brick at a time.

This episode covered a sensitive issue. And…

This episode covered a sensitive issue. And it was nothing new that the victim was hiding herself and didn't want people to know about what happened to her, it was normal as who would want to advertise that they got raped. In reality those bastards rarely ever get the punishment they deserve. So showing that she was living in fear and didn't even want to live anymore was expected. Her brother who blamed himself, felt guilty as to why did he let her go alone that night his worst mistake was telling his sister that this happened to her because of her own mistake, like what the fuck are you talking about? You are her brother, her family you are supposed to be at her side but what the fuck, they're all blaming her instead, her father and mother too, so she was right who the hell are they appealing for in the Court? That bastard was ill, people like them never see other people as a human, she wasn't at fault. Although this is a drama so they can show all the cool scenes and speeches in court to make the viewers happy, but it's a sad reality that real victims take years to stand up against the injustice and to appeal in court, because exactly as they said, when a victim is sexually assaulted their soul dies, so all the years they lived before are forgotten and the life ahead becomes a tunnel where there are no lights and you can't see the end, you just have to continue walking forward without seeing where you're going. Mr Lim, for him this case was difficult to see, cause his mother was gang-raped and she took her own life, so it was understandable that why he beat that bastard to a pulp. And even wanted to kill him but Koo Ryeon stopped him. In the Flashbacks it was shown that Koo Ryeon cut her own wrist and died, and now she's a Reaper standing in front of a human who's trying to do the same. Mr Park is connected to her past, they knew each other. Something to do with his memories. I'm excited to discover what exactly happened between them.

Justice served and on to Mogao Caves

Su and Lu spent much time deliberating who may have done what that caused the designer’s death. What was determined is that no individual act had. It was decided that no murderer was involved in the case. However, when they reported their findings to the magistrate he said the killer had confessed to the crime, the town had already been notified, and the night market was back in business. This had our detectives a bit surprised but they agreed with him and left. Su spent several hours kneeling in apology towards Di. By the time Lu arrived, he gave responses and they agreed to move on from the case. The bottom line, the serial killer decided on death if he could not marry his lady and chose to do what he did best for a good cause for a change. When interviewed, he had no problems with the decision and told how he did it. Our guys could not argue that it was not a possibility. The wronged women could now have a much improved life and more lives were most likely saved. Fei’s cure has the shop owner cured and on her feet again, the one with market is selling lime and not pursuing men not wanting marriage, and the two sisters can now be together and enjoy each other’s company no matter where they end up. The icing was the name changed back to Shen on the fabric store. No trace left of the serial womanizer other than memorial stone. He can measure the flames where he is going😝 the cousin will now be a much better man as a result of seeing where his laziness was heading him. He has made some true friends and will now make something of himself, even if just a quiet honest life. Finally, XueHuan is back🥳😁 He was most happy to run into Lu, literally😂 Lu was helping build a canal for Yunding and was a mess and did not want to get his disciple dirty. I don’t think the disciple cared. 😂They find out when returning to town that Lu has a new Jove. He will be escorting 18 crates of royal golden peaches. This is not a job Lu expected to get. The young disciple challenged by the constable.😂It was a close match and Lu instructed him on footwork to take the win.😂 lead constable very loyal but also most determined to find himself on the wrong side of a challenge.😂 Lu and Su learn the XueHuan was sent by the princess to give Lu a bead on the climate in Chang’an. She wanted the boy to help protect Lu and to let him know that it was still not safe for him to return to the capital. This is in direct contrast to the imperial order instructing him to accompany the peaches there. They know it is a test of Lu’s loyalties. He seriously considers not going back and finishing the canal, working for the people of Yunding. However, Su reminds him he can’t just ignore a royal order. Lu wants the others to stay behind but that is resoundingly rejected and they decide to tour the Mogao caves en route to Shazjou. For tonight, they plan to order an expensive meal and drink heartily. The line of the poem recited by Lu at the end of the episode is especially poignant. I am so happy to see XueHuan finally included back in story, but I am not so happy with the royal conflict being brought to their doorstep. They are obviously heading for a season 3 with this job heading back to Chang’an.
