The Road to Splendor Episode 10

Unexpected proposal and starting from bottom

I am happy they found a way to keep Tingyun and Ling together, but I didn't expect it to be a marriage proposal from her! 😅 Ling's reaction was perfect. He was caught off guard by such an offer, almost falling off the footbridge, but I did notice he would want it to be more about feelings rather than just mutual benefits. However, he agreed anyway, because in his heart he wanted to stay by her side and this was a perfect excuse. 🥹The most I probably loved is the fact that all his "brothers" are coming with him. Ling's kindness has touched so many people, and I am so happy all those people value his personality and want to give him back their best. Ling really deserves to be loved and surrounded by people who hold him in high regard. Especially now, when I know he was cast away by his own father when he was 8 years old. 🤗🤧However, his kindness is also what makes me worry about how he will do in the army. He agreed to go there because of Tingyun, even if that's not something he would choose for himself, and before General Mo arrived, the men around that table reminded me a lot of jocks laughing at a new guy who might look like an easy target. And I didn't like the way Commander Wang looked at Ling at the end of the episode... I sense some future trouble there. And my bet is, the reason for that might be because Ling is the Crown Prince's chosen. Envy of sorts, maybe? Or maybe he thinks he has curried favour to get in? 🫣🤔Well, Madam Yu showing us her true intentions changed my opinion of her. I thought she would feel down about the troubles Yake's actions have caused, but no... she's turning it all to her favour and has been scheming all along. What a woman! Looks like she's going to be one of our villains! 😬Still, I am grateful to her for buying back all the books Yake sold, and on top of that she even managed to turn that into an advantage to sow doubts in Jingxiu's mind about Yake. But I am not sorry for her — Yake really did bring all of this upon herself. 🫤🙏
