Unveil: Jadewind Episode 34

The Li Pei Yi character reaches new levels of iconic.

This episode kicks off with Pei Yi continuing to show how she is the absolute boss of all events happening. Her toying with the guards sent to arrest Luo Chen is masterful - especially after the way she toyed and took control of him! Next, her final revenge scene against Cui Min Zhong was so cold and badass it deserves to be shared as an isolated scene on YouTube for ages to come. But wait! There's more. She follows up THAT scene by boldly calling out the Emperor for HIS share of the blame and manipulating him as well! The air finally gets let out a bit when Consort Shu decides she will NOT run away with Pei Yi and will instead stay by the Emperor's side. It's not clear whether this is what Pei Yi expected all along or not. The subsequent scene of her and Xiao Huaijin having a playful snowball fight suggest that maybe it is as she seems so happy with how things turned out. As the episode wraps up the series, it's hard not to love some of the closure details. Obviously Wu Ren ascending to boss of the PIB and her relationship with Prosecutor Gu is an expected thing.. But it was also a nice touch to show Zhou Yudi mentoring young Yu Lan'er. The only thing left hanging is, of course, that they don't deal justice towards Prince Li Qiang, for his plotting against Consort Shu. I guess they will leave that for Season 2.
