Settling the score with enemy three

I am glad ZhiXing was double agent. He did not deserve to be under BingWen’s thumb, especially now that we know he is far worse than eunuch Cao.😝 He did well in the fight and AnTu returned the favor of being rescued. I like that all BingWen’s men had reason to be horrified of his ‘experiment’. Hai played him well since illusions could kill at the shrine. BingWen deserved a more miserable death, but maybe the irony of dying by the power he sought let Hai consider that enough. I was sad that the carvings from prior emperor got burned. I was hoping Hai would request one. But, it was probably best nothing linked him to any of them. He could let go of almost everything. I think it dangerous him wanting to explore the seal. But I do think he and AnTu would have parent blessing that they be the ones to hide and ultimately destroy it. I liked the poignant moment of lady mentor by Gao’s memorial. He would be happy she made the time and brought good wine. 😁 I don’t know how ZhiXing can move into the same house he was ignored and mother poisoned in. But maybe that is part of accepting general status and reviving his name. I hope he finds a way to make the house clean from bad vibes and filled with laughter of children. Hai and AnTu leaving for parts unknown. She is wearing the hairpin he made her. I wonder if he can now be Zhinu and be an artist somewhere. He never did say what he would do when revenge completed. I am also curious about the job he gave his friends to do. Hopefully something to keep them out of trouble unsupervised. I find I am at peace with the ending. It looks forward with hope and promise for all of them. Where I complained a few episodes back about AnTu and Hai not showing emotion….that hug from the shrine said everything. Xiao Zhan killed that scene and made it the most heartfelt between them. The entire cast did a phenomenal job and there was no lacking in bringing the story full circle. This drama was very well done and absolutely worth the watch.
