Lizzy

I don’t think she’s taken a back seat. She pulled Zhao Ling out of several sticky situations, with her latest plan entailing her kneeling on basically concrete for six hours to reconcile the Emperor and the GDE. She has been scheming with Zhao Ling and coming up with plans. She befriended Concubine Wu (sort of) and got information about the Yu family that paved the way for her to help ZL out of a predicament. I don’t see her in the back seat at ALL. In fact, ZL would be in trouble were it not for her.

You’re not the only one that’s stressed 😰

Oh dear. I wonder when this happens.

Yes yes I picked this one up because of TRtS and I needed something to help me through the withdrawals while waiting for the next episodes 😂I have been putting this one off because I don’t like love triangles or dragged out lies / secret keeping. Even though this one features both of those tropes (I am only on episode 10), it’s not bad so far. Their chemistry is still good, and I’m one of the few who likes DYX’s styling in this (his hair isn’t tied up all the time hellloooo 🔥).

I am enjoying the way he is softening towards her, and even though she’s kind of… oblivious? she has spunk and smarts that I like. I wonder when the romance will start picking up and how annoying the tropes are going to get.

Yes I see what you’re saying, but isn’t the drama about the momentary wins and losses? After the birthday party the Yus had outsmarted them and set them back. The emperor didn’t acknowledge their wedding ceremony, had Mo Yi beaten and ZL scolded in front of anyone at court. Sure they eventually recovered, yes, but for a period of time they were on the losing end. Idk if I’m making sense.

If you’re still not into it after episode 4 then it’s probably not for you.

They haven’t though. The Yu’s outsmarted them at the GED birthday, they were outdone by Jungxiu in Ganlin, and Lord Yu is playing the long game in that he is the one orchestrating Zhao Ling to be pushed deeper and deeper into this mess with more and more responsibility. I also wouldn’t be surprised if ZL’s action in episode 29 played right into Mr Yu’s hand.

I hear ya! Throwing in fluff in the midst of all this wouldn’t make sense. But 😭Gosh we haven’t had a break!

I liked that episode too 😭I need more of that

We couldn’t even get five MINUTES of fluff before things went bad 😭

Then at least one episode dedicated to a happy ending??? 😭 It’s been nonstop and I’m tired lol

But what if we never get it 😭

Omg who here needs at least ONE episode of fluff? 🙋🏼‍♀️This is getting out of hand 😭

Express will probably drop in the next few days.

That’s one of the stupidest post I’ve read all week 😂Not liking TY’s behavior is one thing, but making her worse than YJX is a whole other level of ludicrous. But then I checked your profile and you’re clearly a troll, so the level of dumb makes sense.

That’s what others have said - me, I dunno and haven’t thought too hard about it.

I think others have said it’s because Zhao doesn’t have a family or living parents whereas she does (mom).

It definitely has its heavy moments, but it’s a good blend with some lighthearted moments.

Omg saaaame 😭

Who else has had Liu Yuning’s song stuck in their head all day? 🙋🏼‍♀️
