I know, it's tough but he should be smart like LZ, and said maybe he found her unconscious and don't remember anything so he had to be the good Samaritan as he was the police/bailiff and gave shelter and food. Geez, if there is a will, there is a way.

But I felt angry, as he should had taken her back to his place and hid her, then gave her food.She was running away from hell, how can he let her go back there? He was entrusted to protect people from bad people. At least let her calm down in a safe place and food to eat for a few days before deciding anything.

1. Captain Leng (CP) was not a principal man. He must unite his subordinates into a force to fight against gangs and bad people. The frog first appeared on the scene when Captain Leng and Sanniang were discovered by Luzhi,who then wanted to kill L.Z., showing his true color. Frogs camouflage themselves for survival and eat insects. Frogs are carnivorous; drama in sarcasm:When man kills another, it is a "cannibal.Drama has a sarcastic sense of humor,as in the dig on dramas that used FL to dress as men. But, like the frog, who uses its sticky tongue to survive, LZ may also be able to talk his way to survival by using his tongue.
2. This refers to the fourth unambitious scholar of Confucius, who only wanted a peaceful life. refers to a man who initially studied for that but was forced to aim for a higher position in order to exact revenge. This was reflected in the bitter, furious hatred against CP's closed-eyed attitude, which forced him to abandon his dreams, making CP the first victim. A tadpole, when metamorphosed into a frog, cannot live under water again.
3. It took him 25 years to be in a position to exact revenge.
4. Peach Blossom Goddess had already explained in her thread.
5. In his youth, he had a lust for power and wealth. Referencing LZ, now like the frog, he shed his skin to turn into Mr. Xue.
6. Sangeng wrongly worshipped his master. Maybe CP caused the death of his watchman father.
7. Magistrate Wei was the most suspicious in Episode 10, in which suddenly a brother showed up for Mr.Lu, maybe the brother of the murdered student or the young LuBuyou.

My guesswork is mostly based on clues from the murder scenes and using the frog as an allegory.

Thanks a lot !

How did you copy from the screen? Many attempts were made, but control +C was never successful. I am using PC to watch.

Thanks, and you are right that it's paid to watch it as it cannot be opened. I saw the bits and pieces, which looked like BTS, and photos that the cast and crew took for memories. Awaiting for those who paid to tell us FL ended with who to prove my theory/review correct as well as the reasoning that theme was education, thus motivational, a man with a degree won, can easily get censors to air it! LOL!

Dramanice where I usually don't have it. Where did you watch it. ? Please send a link. But if Chinese site, don't understand.

Points to ponder: from what I gather from some comments here, Tong Hua, the novel writer, asked readers to guess on the OE on who she ended with but the drama straightaway pointed it out, albeit in a metaphorical way. (My review of how it did that) Must be not to get brickbats from her and readers !.

“The other side of the water” the Chinese song that XB and QQ were dancing to, where to find it? Google translated it to Chinese but still couldn't find it on Youtube.

GH is the eldest. Her mother married her 2nd husband and has a daughter from this man. GH younger step-sister thus has no pressure .

Frustrated with QQ, for she can tell GH but cannot tell ZJ ? He told his real reason for being with Overdose. Even though I am not on team ZJ, I still felt angry of QQ humiliating him openly with her refusal of his gift. GH is understandable. Moreover she has a pushy mother who married a higher status husband. GH is like her “dowry”, if she shines , so will she.

Thanks. That's what comes for not knowing your enemy like the back of your hand.

I watch dramas for escapism but sometimes some heavy drama like this is empowering. The way the SFL move on from her bitter past was like when you fell off from the horse, you get back on it again. Your description of body ladder is too pessimistic. Try putting it optimistically like when its tough, the tough gets going. Always be kind to yourself by giving 2nd chance for there will always be a solution for anything; nothing is a dead end.

Her family didn't find it strange that she had such a large hole at her throat? MW saw her falling from the balcony and WL may had pushed her?

The drama is going to end soon, but I am still puzzled on how WL got away with the murder charge that Rulan desperately tried to pin on him on their wedding night? WL bribed everybody? Even her family? The writer short-charged us?

What was the motive for epi. 19? This drama was written by a MAN.
Holding hands while teaching embroidery , wasn't that's sexual harassment? Touching ? Patting? Wasn't it scandalous for any married man to come to a woman's room at night? It showed that the woman was of easy virtue? The scene when Rulan told TLC to go to a teacher who was a woman, that was a telling scene. Eventually all men will see women as promiscuous and cheap if they are willing to put up with sexual harassment.
This drama have many thought-provoking themes.

He has to prove his manhood? Embroidery is a lady's work. His father was ashamed of him for bring down the family honor and burned his work. He thought when he married a prominent family he had proved his father was wrong and raised up to prominence in society's eyes. When he discovered his wife was not a virgin, meant the wife's family looked down at him like his father.He was insulted and humiliated as not man enough, so soiled goods was good enough for him. To prove he was good enough for any rich and prominent families, he kept a record, just like any hunter who take prideful pleasure with an animal trophy on the wall. Inferiority complex with an aggressive way to overcompensate.

I stand on team XB and QQ from epi.1 He was always there for her since epi1. I hope the drama stand by them and not abandon them with OE as the novel.

Am guessing he will lose some money and the mother will blame her. He will not be man enough to take responsibility.
