Love in Pavilion Episode 23

Zhang Zheng’s story

I have never seen Ding Yu Xi act before. His dual role this episode as Qing Mu Yuan gets his background story was very well done. He did a magnificent job retelling the story of Zhang Zheng from both sides - the young master and the body guard double. She also learned that the boy she always had a crush on was him. He had the teeth marks to prove it.😂 I only wish she would have closed her eyes a bit earlier for the kiss. I now also understand why he had so few words to say at the Nangong feast and why he practices sword skills so intensely. He has such a burden to carry and his mother is the absolute worst to add to it. I am hoping HongYe finds a way to deal with his mom so that everybody can be rid of her. It was nice seeing the leads battle together and continue gathering intel for Twighlight Mist flower quest. They really do seem better together when one or both have demon influence. I knew QinLan and QuZhou would be great partners in crime and their adventure is just beginning. Here Shen Yue was perfectly mischievous and friendly. These two are much needed comic relief amid all the heavy stories.
