A true test in their relationship

This episode depicted how coward the male lead is. He’s just so infuriating. This just means that the lead is truly an outstanding actor.

The story is getting better and better

Bride price negotiations are truly a pain. I like how this episode depicted bride price customs in China.

i was mad af when i realized i had to rewatch this & ALSO END THE NIGHT WITH IT

yeah i don’t like this episode ,it doesn’t really matter. amy’s been a consistent supporting character in most of thes e episodes so far which isn’t bad if they very obviously didn’t know what they were doing with her character. you can’t tell us she wants to be more than a demure young lady & then never let her do anything without #TheBoys stepping in & doing the actual fighting. what they have on paper isn’t the worst thing ever but the practice ,the camera angles ,the story+boards & final product . . . because i do like her ,i like how she is bubbly but that’s especially a reassuring qwuality for a caring & observant person catering to people’s communicated or unspoken needs. but god i hate when they’re aware of misogyny & address it in the story & then still have their female characters do these loop+holes to defeat their opponents like charming them . .. JUST LET HER BASH THEIR SKULLS LIKE 。this is really what it all boils down to for me ,everything is just so shallow

Xiao Fang exudes cuteness

The female lead suits the rural life. She is really a breath of sunshine. I despise the male lead’s family. They are so calculating.

The let down episode

Just when things started closing this episode was a letdown in storytelling. They should have finished at episode 7. Now they tried to add more twists to generate two more episodes whereas they could have closure on the real traitors of the story. Sometimes it’s better to stop when the going is good.

One of the best BL episodes ever…

This episode is so explosive (no pun intended) as the story builds up to its climax. I truly enjoy the scenes with the female director and the conversations about life and death…so much so I want to rewatch the dynamics between Sun and the Director. It s so crucial in Sun’s realization of what truly matters. But the scene in the rain where he runs toward Arthur, as he gives in to his emotions was the crucial part of his awakening. And what about that intimate scene? What did I just saw or maybe I shouldn’t have seen? It was intense, painful yet tears of joy. Whew. Let’s end the series here.

Two years later...

I didn't expect the time skip. 😯 But then, thinking about it a little, maybe this two-year skip did make some sense, because before that, everyone reached a conclusion of sorts.LeJun went to Northern Qin and met the Eagle King, who took her in with arms wide open—or, more precisely, brought her to his place, carrying her over his shoulder. I wonder how they are doing now, because since the time skip, they haven't been shown yet. 🤨JiaYu travelled around looking for minerals and mines, and even got Cui Shan'An as her apprentice or assistant (I wasn't sure which exactly), but he looked at her weirdly, so—does he fancy her? 🤨 However, she rushed back to Jiankang because of some corrupt officials. It turned out WuYi was already on the case and was actually pretending to be the bribe-taker.... Well, that went smoothly, didn't it? 😂 But they are both still acting as if they hadn't been separated for two years. Actually, their relationship seems even closer and more wholesome than before. Except for the fact that WuYi hasn't told her yet that he has only a few years left to live.... and before the skip he rejected the treatment Rui Sheng offered. This is one thing I am worried about a little—what if this is bringing us slowly to a sad ending? 😟Regent Prince Qi is now beloved among the people and seemingly has no ill intentions towards JiaYu and WuYi, even preparing gifts for her on being promoted to WuYi's official consort. But I do wonder what he is doing behind the scenes, because I remember how he and WuYi parted ways in the previous episode, and it wasn't that nice or friendly at all. 🤔 And the fact that he has taken that dancer who looks like JiaYu when she smiles as his concubine... red flag, much? 🫣Over these two years, YuanJi has stabilised the situation with the He family and now wants to travel, likely with that lover of hers. But I still root for Yao to win her heart and for her to stay at Prince Jing'an's mansion. I really hope something changes her mind or she eventually understands that maybe she sees him as more than just a big brother. 😔🤞Overall, this felt like a bridge episode.

Palace shenanigans

The consort wannabe pretended to be a friend helping her hide the rash with a veil. But later her true colors showed when she had her friend debouched via aphrodisiac and then offered her plan B. She has her friend pretend to save Prince Ning from an assailant and take a drug that will make her appear dead for three days. This will let her marry the one she really wants and save face with the Prince because she rescued him. After the poor girl is stabbed, she realizes she has been betrayed and her ‘sister’ literally hugs her to death to keep her from revealing the truth. Huayong thinks a talking bird a good idea to present his wife. It sounds godawful speaking but as it tells on the prince with what he’s learned to say, she accepts the gift. The wannabe consort invites them to tea and makes it the same way the prince does with the same tea set. XiHe notes the similarities and excuses herself. Huayong says he will stay and teach her how to make it correctly.🤣😂Here I cheered for the Prince. There is no way in hell I want him married to that manipulative demon spawn, but XiHe can’t keep pushing him off to find comfort elsewhere and not expect him to consider it. He is pleased she is jealous but tells his aide to toss the matching tea set he has away and for it never to be in the palace again. 🤣😝Consort Rong had XiHe handle a memorial ceremony. The monks handed the emperor incense sticks that stopped burning not just once but twice. The one who put her in charge spoke up to assume blame. It was discovered that a monk and maid received gold to tamper with the incense. XiHe had a complete demonstration showing the difference of the incense and the emperor’s punishment was for the monk and maid to be beaten to death. This shook up Consort Rong who had instigated things. I am not sure if maid was additionally framed to look guilty or not. Lie and Changqing are pleading for a lesser punishment for their mother but their father is not having it. The one that used to be in charge was officially demoted and XiHe now finds herself in charge of the harem.

call me weird but i laughed out loud when…

call me weird but i laughed out loud when Lee Jae Min kissed that loud mouthed a**hole that kept talking sh*t about everyone. dude was looking for a fight & ironically Lee Jae Min gave him one, just not what he was expecting - the way he ran... i am still chuckling to myself remembering the shock & horror on his face lol. great scene & so unexpected from some like Lee Jae Min who looks like he avoids confrontation.

Finally he realized!! Yay! What an ending to the episode

What an episode! Loved it from beginning to end. Such a rollercoaster! And the reflection at the end about life and being alive felt so deep and meaningful It's a whole package! The NC scene made me feel like I was intruding on a real private moment I had to cover my eyes 🫣 On the bus ride, the extras in the background keep smirking 😏, makes the scene not natural. . I love stories like this one.

The fall of empress dowager—the coup that wasn’t

Yuan Ji confesses to what she did but was told WuYi already knew. What she did was gather her clan together, brought ledgers of her family’s corruption and their seal and declared support for the Beifu reforms. Prince Qi tore up the ledgers and said the reforms would not be put into place by killing the nobles. The one blackmailed to poison Prince Qi confessed when his family was brought in and declared safe. YuanJi asked for her marriage to WuYi be annulled and permission to be divorced which this time was granted. The coup the Empress Dowager planned turned into her son and Prince Qi having her removed to another palace to rest and reflect. Her son was kind compared to the poisoning he received. He kept all things accounted for by saying her life would end with his so she couldn’t use the pretense of being filial to reclaim the throne. She had tried to force her son to get rid of Beifu reforms, Remove Prince Qi as regent and to use her choice as crown prince. He refused all her choices and revealed he knew he was poisoned by the bird nest soup along with the other princes. After his mother is removed he grants Prince Qi the nine seals which lets him act with emperor’s authority without having to ask for it. He is given the Cui case and WuYi wasn’t happy with that news. It is countered by his token and the one from JiaYu’s mother being returned to counter the power Prince Qi has. Yuan Ji is now leading her clan while the Empress Dowager scoffs at the very idea. JiaYu lets LeLun determine her fate. She can head north and marry Eagle King and serve as Ye’s spy or she can die right there. JiaYu will let her leave but her life is forfeit should she step foot in Ye again. Tutor and son are playing chess and Qi is the mastermind behind it all. He is also certain WuYi is the crown prince WenXi. He has become even colder and more calculating than his father. After he hears JiaYu gets to determine his sister’s fate, he cuts all ties with WuYi.
