True character shines through

I am watching with Viki that only has 8 episodes with this series. So there will be spoilers if watching the 18 episode version.

This episode finds the general comparing notes of Shen Qin with the woman he married. He knows she can draw and is a poet, but her calligraphy while good, is not accomplished. The woman he married is kindhearted to staff and children. The Shen Qin on paper will destroy something rather than let someone enjoy it. She is unapologetic about getting her own way and other people’s feelings don’t matter to her. His smile when she said she liked his flower purchase.🥰 She is determined to save documents rather than keep herself dry. He literally carries her out to his room.😂 He thought he had things managed when she sees the couch. You could tell he wanted his sword to chop it in two.😂🤣 That is verified when he orders his advisor to chop it up and use for firewood. When they go off to share the candy and are bickering, the ever wise Yuan Bao , Uncle Yun no wonder you are not married.😂He watches her sleep and knows she is his soulmate, no matter what is suspicious about who she is. They have located the eunuch so General leaves alone to surprise him. I am not sure who brother’s spy is in general’s house, but he lets the prince know. He plots an ambush for the general while the prince plots his own a,bush for the general’s wife. She beats him over the head and then bandages it. She sends Prince on his way and is told he plans to make her a widow. He is becoming obsessed with Shen Qin. Once she wasn’t his, he wants her. It is interesting that he likes his lover’s face with new personality. He sees the selfishness of his lover in the new girl, but it no longer attracts him. He is still a louse in a good day, but, like a moth to a flame he can only head for the light of the lover he lost. The ambush might have been a success if Shi Qi didn’t ride in on a horse to save him. They are both hit by poisoned arrows but fortunately got back in time to negate the poison. At this turn of events, his advisor says no matter who she is no longer matters. She went in selflessly and courageously by herself and she deserved an apology from him. That was quite an admission from this one. The prince is all happy talking to the henchman about the ambush. They said the general wasn’t hurt badly but the plus was his wife was, and the arrows were poisoned. So, when the prince said he would be greatly rewarded, he was stabbed repeatedly by a pissed off prince. Shen Qin notices how much he likes her, but reminds him she is the general’s wife. He makes it clear that now she is the only one he likes and tosses her aside. So now our couple will have both these psychos after them.

Ouuu this actor that played the Prince Ning really acted so well that I want kill him. Here was another person I want to kill. That villainess was something else huh... Now she wanted to use the FL body to get closer to Prince Ning. What a nasty nasty person. Hmm some of FL's attires were confusing to me. Lmao not her meeting his illegitimate child. OKAY THAT WAS SO FUNNY! SKSKKS
