The Prisoner of Beauty Episode 10

9.0/10

I know it's been hinted at that those who should care for Wei Yan know him the least. Mainly his mother. It was heart breaking to realize she had no hesitation at drugging him. Especially considering he is not the type to want to do such things and he had said no. His mother basically tried to have him raped.

It makes me sad that it clearly puts strain on Wei Yan and Qiao Man relationship. Though it's also a growing point. Something to push them past. For Wei Yan to realize that Qiao Man can be his heart and the person he confides in. That she will protect him and not harm him.

It's good for Wei Yan to fully see his mother as the narcissist and selfish woman. To see that his wife will stand up and protect him. Even from those she shouldn't need it from.

A challenging night, silent distance

Xiao Qiao testing a bunch of candles to find a good one for Wei Shao was a great idea. The scenes where Xiao Qiao told her mother-in-law her own thoughts about accepting a concubine were very good. Unfortunately, Wei Shao's drunken act to get Zheng Chu Yu to accept her as a concubine was really disgusting. But kudos to him, I was proud of Wei Shao in the scene where he asked Zheng Chu Yu to stay away even though he saw her in a red dress 😻 But he couldn't help but see the little bit of Xiao Qiao's breasts, who was his wife. And under the influence of an aphrodisiac, he almost raped Xiao Qiao. In any case, if there had been a relationship between the two, it would have been because of a one-night stand, not because of love. Xiao Qiao, who was scared of Wei Shao's state last night, was also taking a step back from Wei Shao. And Wei Shao, who understood that he was scared of him, was trying to distance himself from Xiao Qiao. I was so happy when I watched Xiao Qiao tell her mother-in-law the truth in the last scene and Wei Shao heard it outside the door

Ladies of the house

Wei Shao’s mother has hit a new low. She drugged her own son and had him locked in a room with crush girl. She did her best to seduce him and even in a drugged state he cast her off.😝 He didn’t even try the door but kicked them off their hinges. He looked massive when doing that. He tries to dilute the drug but tried to consummate his marriage. He didn’t. He took a long cold bath and settled himself. I missed something in translation at the very beginning. I did not understand that her wedding took place keeping her from grandfather memorial but that she would be allowed a year to mourn. I did not realize mourning gave her permission to stay chaste for that interim. No wonder the devil in red dress thought she had a chance.😝 The gma has her own spy network and knew the truth of the matter before calling in Qiao Man. She did not spread tales of her husband but used battle wounds as reason for ice and plead ignorant of east wing events. Gma likes that she protected her husband well.😁 I am glad Wei Shao takes his mother to task and gives her three days to marry off crush girl and get her out of the house. I was even more happy that gma had her own timetable and kicked her out immediately with promise of helping her marry. And when mother bear thought she was hid from both in law and son cutting loose on Qiao Man.—that new wife rebutted her soundly pointing out that her complaints and concerns were all about crush girl and not her own son. Mom really gets irked and flipped the table but daughter in law not only held her ground but even more vehemently argued for her husband. Putting the mom firmly in place….all with Wei Shao hearing the entire conversation. 🥰No one has ever stuck up for him without some sort of expectation in return. I hope he finally sees what a treasure his wife really is. He has avoided her because he is ashamed of forcing himself on her. I was getting annoyed with him for lacking two words…l’m sorry….however, when he knelt by her asleep planning to put ointment on her wrist…actions speak loudly. She woke and cowered away from him which shamed him more. He is planning a trip to Panyi to hide from her and she is deciding what to do.
