I"m still really unclear on what the motivation for the widow was. She just wanted to make the life of the FL miserable and get aback at grandma?

Doesn't look like he got the salt? I'm looking at previews for 5-6 and they seem to be on the run. But 7-8 and they seem to be in a good spot? I'm so confused. Previews all over the place. lol

But. She's. Not. So....

She's not telling the truth. We *know* she's not telling the truth. That's the point. She did it so she could marry the guy she wanted. AND KNEW what would happen to her "friend" if she did. It is what it is.

No excuse. You wanna be a snake be a snake. But there's not justification for it here. She knew what was at stake for her "friend" with this lie. Oh well.

They don't know each other. It was gamble. And sometimes gambles don't pay off. AND if he doesn't reach success, he could become resentful. Remember she has no backing to help him.

Why? She's a snake. You ruin your friend's life like that??? She knew what would happen to her. I hope she has the worst marriage imaginable. And suffers horrendously.

Good.

Yeah. Is that real.

It's not a c-drama without an aphrodisiac scene.

Quote the law to each other before getting frisky. lol

- You scared Big Boy???
- Naw. I ain't scared.

lololololol!!!!!

Damn. How everyone plot to ruin your life???? Everyone????? SMH.

Well damn. Is every c-drama actor in this sucker. All my favorite side characters. Some great leads. What was the budget for this? lol

I hope he suffers. I hope it's like ol'girl in Yangxi Palace. Married dude knowing he wanted someone else and was MISERABLE. May they all rot in hell. lol

This is a HORRIBLE take. EVERYONE was plotting to ruin her life. Everyone. Hell, even her grandmother was just trying to use her to further the career of her son(s). Like...

All (fogging) roads lead to Lady Meng.

Oh - I reread it. lol. My bad. Carry on!

Agree. But since he has no family, it looks like the Steward is the one administering the flogging. The Meng Tinghui angle is the only thing I can think of that makes sense...'cause what other reason would you have to flog the EMPEROR????

What? There's barely any romance, other then some light flirting. We know they like each other but it hasn't been the focus one bit. C'mon.

Exactly.

Also Mr. Ear-Pimp, assuming Lady Meng is up to no good b/c of a tattoo and friendship with the pretty musician is a bit of a stretch. She was 4 and you are aware of her background. The likelihood that she knows about any of this is slim. I'm not saying it's not a possibility, but it can't be your first and primary assumption.
