Unchained Love Episode 22

Stay true and survive

I can’t even imagine how Yinlou felt when the Emperor actually forced himself on her, attempting to rape her. I am happy she could get out of that by injuring him, however, it came with a cost. In anger over the rejection, he issued a decree that she’s his consort now and that she had served him well in bed. I know what the Emperor was doing there. His whole reason was to bind her and ensure this news reached the ears of her lover.

And I have very mixed feelings about how Fang Jiang reacted to this situation. At first, I was quite relieved that he didn’t blame her for staying with the Emperor and not eloping with him, but then—he believed the imperial decree, thinking she hadn’t trusted him enough. I expected better of his character, but I also know what a weakness these emotions can be, especially when someone has been betrayed before. However, I don’t think he thinks Yinlou betrayed him. I think he’s more frustrated by the fact that she didn’t trust in him enough to keep fighting the Emperor longer. But at least he finished the Emperor’s task and will be on his way back to the capital. I really hope he learns the truth very soon and that all the misunderstandings vanish.
