Wen's mother actually took the money that was meant for her daughter... Really?! 😲 And now she's setting conditions for Wen not to disturb her, claiming the money was hers all along... Now I'm even starting to question if the father had actually died without help. Did he, Wen's mother? Did he really?! 😠😡It's quite upsetting to see how Xixiao and Wen can't trust each other with their deepest secrets. I know they might not be at that stage yet, but they make such an amazing team when they work together! Wen using him definitely won't help matters, though. Are these the big lies that split them apart for 10 years? 🤔😟Xixiao's father is also on my blacklist. I absolutely can't stand that man. 😤

One wild night, lots of alcohol, and a little street fight was all it took to get Jingjing and Lu Ze to reconcile. Fei's bed will remember that! 😏

For me, it looks like Xiuyuan has subconscious feelings for Lifei, because they haven't really experienced enough private moments for it to feel real just yet. 🤔 Also, how many times has he already caught her in the air? 😂I'm not sure if that was her full power awakening, but it still looked like a lot. Maybe they can somehow make everyone think that the little branch one of the masters has did it? 😬And why did Hu Jiaping try to attack them? I already suspected him to be a bit mischievous and to have some secrets, so maybe he has a secret agenda there. 🤨

I think Hu Jiaping could be Jiang Lifei's senior brother. Maybe he knows of her existence but never actually met her, and that's why he didn't recognise her right away? 🤨 And the fact of how offended he looked just by seeing that drawing of his face... lol! That picture really makes me laugh every time they show it on screen. 😂Prince Tongzhou is becoming more and more present around the lead couple. Did he mention why he wanted Xiuyuan to work for him? 🤔 However, his concern about Xiuyuan's health was quite funny—how he just flew past Lifei to catch the guy... 🤭 That scene gave me a total BL vibe, though I am not sure if that was the intention there! 🤷♀️

This episode felt more like a bridge between what happened and what's about to come in the final episodes. It was a real breather, filled with cute, little A'Li and A'Yao moments: her teasing him, him being very caring about her health, him being jealous about many things, and them following Steward Tang together... just to name a few! 🤭😏❤️There wasn't much drama in this one, just mostly daily routines. However, I am really grateful that the Emperor gave a decree to honour all the scholars of Lishan Academy—the living and the dead. 🙏✨

Oh, we got an almost-kiss, a few almost-hand-touches, and an actual hug! 🥰 Those breasts really threw him off the rails, lol! 😂😏And it was Ruohai who made that garage video... tsk tsk tsk, biting the hand that feeds him... 🙄🤨Jingjing, my heart, I just want to hug her. 🥺 If she had agreed to marry Lu Ze, I would have been disappointed. That wouldn't fit her character at all. Maybe eventually they will get back to that point, but now is definitely not the time. 🙅♀️💔And it looks like the intrusive mother is finally warming up to Dang Yu. I had a feeling the dance studio would be their mediating ground! 😉☝️

The fight scenes were pretty good, imo. But I never expected the Nine-tailed fox's bell to be so fluffy! 😂 And are we having a love triangle forming between Xiuyuan, the prince and Xiao Bangchui? The prince is suspicious of Xiuyuan, but does he also want to help him? 🤨 Ye Ye always protects that one girl, which leads me to think they might eventually become a couple as well. The princess is terrible. I can't understand the reasons behind her hostility towards Xiao Bangchui—if there's any solid one, that is. Is it just her arrogance, or something more? 🤔 But at least they are now on the Academy grounds and are forbidden to harm other students—unfortunate for Xiuyuan and the arrogant princess, I guess! 😏It looks like Xiao Bangchui's power can activate or heal—or whatever it can be called—Xiuyuan's memories of their past life? So, are they the Demon Lord and Flower Fairy from the opera play shown in the previous episode? I believe they might be. It will be interesting to learn what happened and why they don't remember that past life. ☝️🤔P.S. And just when I finally started to remember her name, they changed it to Jiang Lifei.... 🤦♀️😂

Even more character introductions! I am getting lost with all those people. 😂At least we know that one of the travellers—Ye Ye was his name?—is someone from the same place our ML is. ☝️I didn't realise in the previous episode that the fox spirit had hidden inside the FL. At least it's clear now why the ML is so persistent about catching her—he wants to get that fox spirit out of her to save his brother. But I don't think for one bit that the angry old guy will treat the brother—he just wants the fox for himself and is using our ML. 🙄The ML has some very strong powers, and, to be fair, I think those blocked meridians actually hide a very strong power inside the FL as well. 🤨 But I might be wrong, of course, and she's just a witty young lady... But then—what was the deal with those divine beads on her wrists? 🤔 I believe they are something unique because they piqued the ML's interest in the previous episode.P.S. Damn, I should start memorising some of those character names.... 🤦♀️

I am starting this without any expectations, except from the poster, I realised it would be a costume drama. And it turned out to be a fantasy one! 🫢 It's been a few months without a fantasy drama on my ongoing watchlist. Good thing I chose to check this one out, then! 🤗So much happened in this episode, confusing me to the bone. 🤯 We got an injured nine-tailed fox, some very aggressive old man who wants that fox at all costs, a missing master, a dying brother, an Academy that is hard to get into, some assassins, a princess, a bunch of travellers, and a very chaotic duo—our leads—somehow tangling it all together. 🤩😏 Need to check more episodes to see where this goes, but this being the fantasy genre alone could make me keep watching! ✨

Is Fei finally realising he's more than just a tenant to her? 🤗😌 And Yifei taking her for a makeover? 😏 Ok, I am taking what they are giving me.But Jun's parents are just something else... The lengths they'll go to just to control what their dear son is doing... OMG, just give the boy his freedom to choose things and to make his own decisions! And they don't need to align with your views all the time! 😩But it was nice to see that Dang Yu finally agreed to go on a date with him. 🤗

I kind of felt embarrassed about Jun Cheng's parents. 🤦♀️ Yes, I get they wanted to understand what Dang Yu's qualities and other whatnots were, but could they not let their son make those decisions about whether she's good or not by himself? But like Yifei said—at least she saw a different side of Jun, which has led to their relationship moving a little bit further. 🤗Yifei and Fei were kind of cute in this episode, except... I didn't get the ending. Why didn't he come to eat? Did I zone out a little while watching and miss a scene? 🤔

I kind of expected there might be an argument between Jingjing and Lu Ze about his work situation and him hiding it from her, but, oh boy, I didn't expect that it would end with them splitting up... or whatever that can be called. 🥺💔 She gave the ring back because he chose his "baby" (his work) over her—a person who could have helped him through this, both morally and maybe even financially. 🙅♀️ Now he's sitting at Yifei's father's house waiting for the meeting with his last-chance investor... If Yifei is on his way to the same meeting, that could turn into something interesting! 👀Ruohai finally made a somewhat okay choice by letting Shiyu give him the money as a loan. It's much better than just having that money gifted to him. That way, at least he can avoid the feeling that he's just using her. But we all know that he actually is just her trophy boyfriend—like a doll she's bought to show everyone and keep at her side. Their relationship feels quite stiff. 😬I loved seeing Yifei finally doing some chores, even if he only did them after throwing tantrums and whining... baby steps in his progress! 🤗 A few more episodes and I hope it will become something natural for him. But I do love how he secretly continues to pull all the strings he can to help Fei. He's not telling her and he's not asking for credit—yet... 😏 The bedroom scene was so funny and cute! 🥰😂

Well, they shouldn't have kept Lu Ze's work problems a secret. Then maybe our fiery Jingjing wouldn't have acted so impulsively. 🤨 Ruohai will definitely be in trouble with his girlfriend because now she will know he lied. 🤭Jun Cheng and Dang Yu finally had a somewhat normal conversation, and at least he knows now what to improve in his personality if he wants to pursue her. However, his parents—though I think his mom more than his dad—are still such snoops. I just can't. 🫣🙄And I do hope that with Yifei's smart advice, Lu Ze can do better with his business. But I wasn't entirely sure if he could catch up with what Yifei was telling him. 🤔

And just as I expected, Lu Ze's work is affected and Qian Fei is named as the one responsible for that. 🤦♀️ And of course, that creates tension between Fei and Lu Ze, and eventually will also involve Jingjing.I know he said he's not really blaming her per se, but he hinted she could have at least said something before it was told to him by Liao Shiyu. On one side, his reaction was reasonable, but on the other—in a business relationship, professionalism and objectivity should be valued higher than personal affection. This is one of the things Yifei's opinion actually hints at. But we all know that doesn't happen all that often. And now Lu Ze has asked Fei to be the one who tells the news to Jingjing. I am a bit nervous about how this whole situation will turn out. 😟😬Wang Ruohai always looks like he's lost—both in time and space. 😵💫 I have never asked this out loud, but I've thought about it since episode 1... is his voice also AI-generated? Anyway, his character is terrible. I can't tolerate a man who has chosen to be someone's pet and lose all his agency, just for some wealth he won't even be able to get because of how incompetent he looks in everything he does. 😤 Thank you, Yifei, for breaking his nose! 👏👍

This episode really tried to push Wan and Xixiao down. But out of all the bad, something good has happened, and they have finally found a common language and can even laugh together. 🥹🤗 The way he gifted her the arrow necklace was cute; he's so fallen! 🥰Gu Meng's mumbling made my day... 😂The ruffian guy looked way too surprised by Wen's interference to save Xixiao... I hope he won't try to pay her back, but I think he might. Xixiao's father and "stepmother" trying to sell his mother's house? Doesn't it belong to Xixiao by inheritance rights? At least partly, if not all of it? 🤔🧐
