8/10

There are moments I feel bad for Dou Ming in this lifetime. I know she's bound to betray Dou Zhao, but she's still sixteen. She's very frail, and her mother is abusive. Most of the time, how she looks at Dou Zhao hurts me. It's like she yearns to be with her sister. There's nothing but innocence and naivety in her eyes. I can only imagine in another universe, they have a strong and beautiful bond like a diamond.

Five Stars

It is so funny how she's trying to shoo the Marquis away by resorting to all tricks. It's quite funny and proud of her for that. Young master Wu got trapped instead of Marquis and Dou Zhao is trying to save his life. Omo Song Mo has arrived and is trying to protect them both.

Zhao's courage

In this episode, we saw how greedy and dangerous Dou Shi Shu is. Just to gain a high position in the empire, he slandered Jiang Mei Sun. I hate this guy.Wei Ting Yue appeared in this episode. A rogue who frequently visits brothels. The burden of the whole family has fallen on his sister. He doesn't look good at all. Dou Zhao cunningly made herself look like a rough woman in Ting Yue's eyes. Thus, Ting Yue would not be attracted to her.The stepmother is very annoying. She is after Dou Zhao's money and wants to marry her off to a rogue. But her trap didn't work.
