Plot twist after plot twist... and 2026 arrives

Wow, I didn't expect the twist about the brothers! And adding Wen's mother to the mix, Xixiao's father becomes the father of all three of them... in a way? 🤔🙄But Wen's mother boils my blood. To take all the father's money and leave a child to take care of her grandmother? Then to not even send money to pay for anything her child might need, and even now to say that Wen is not understanding her? I want to hear her reasons, really, because I can't imagine any that could justify her actions in this situation. Maybe I could accept it if it was to protect Wen in some way, maybe, but I don't know. Also, whose mother is the grandmother—the father's? 😩🧐Xixiao making that arrow necklace to fit Wen's bow... it's so cute. 🤗 Sadly, he never got to give it to her... yet.But as for the time jump, I can't express much shock because I suspect this wasn't the ultimate one. I believe their story will be covered by showing events in both timelines—events of what happened in the past in 2016 and then what is happening now in 2026, until they finally reach the point where the past is explained. And they will probably do that in parallel. It wouldn't be the first time a story is told that way. 🤨

They are back to normal, yeey

I wonder who wiped the whiteboard? Was it a targeted sabotage? 🤨🤔 Even I saw this possibility that it might be erased and she would lose all her night's work. Oh, that silly girl! 🤦‍♀️ At least Yifei took photo of them and could save the day for her. What would she do without him, eh? 🤷‍♀️I am glad they talked and resolved that issue with "using", which means they returned to their old cozy selves—the way I like them the most. 🤗 And those Yifei's answers to Gui Lili from Fei's phone... 😂 And kudos to Zhao De for reading the room. Yeah.... card in his office. 🤭Jun Cheng's parents are the worst... I will complain yet again how they don't have any boundaries. If they expect that to be a comedy-like move—well, it isn't. 😩

Phenomenal drama and brilliant acting of our both leads

I can't even begin to describe how this drama has made me feel. It was a complete rollercoaster of emotions, but in the best way possible. I felt for both brothers so much, and their journey was anything but easy. 😭Haixia's road was particularly tragic, starting right from the early episodes. His main goal was always to protect Hailou, leading to sacrifice after sacrifice, physical disability, self-doubt, and then hosting an evil side that slowly overtook him, ultimately ending in his death. 💔 His last words before passing away in Hailou's arms were, "I am feeling a little tired." I am tearing up just remembering that scene—his faint smile at his brother, his mouth filled with blood, and his eyes full of tears. 🥺😭Hailou's road was more about personal growth. He had to put his chaotic, troublemaker nature to one side and deal with all the challenges alone once Haixia could no longer help him. He had to become more serious and responsible, eventually becoming a great leader, and by the end, a Master himself. ✨Ding Yuxi and Zhang Xincheng played their roles brilliantly. Even though this was the first time seeing Xincheng on my screen, I am really impressed by his acting and will definitely look up some of his other works. However, Yuxi... I can't even describe how breathtaking his performance was in this drama. He had to portray such a vast range of emotions and mental states. I have always thought that playing a villain—especially when done well—is much harder than playing a hero. Once again, I can only applaud him for his amazing work, which has made me fall in love with his talent and him as an actor even more. 👏❤️This journey was unbelievable and will stay on my mind for quite some time. It is the best C-drama I have seen so far, even if I haven't watched that many yet. 10/10. 🌟🏆

The snake and the sparrow

And in the end, it turned out that Mo Yungao was his own adjutant—the third one that had to die. And the Evil God was all fake... 🙄 Well... this isn't a fantasy drama after all, right? 😏I didn't expect Haixia to kill Haiqi. 😧 But maybe, just maybe, he didn't do it himself, but Haiqi forced his hand in the end? She was holding his arm. And that look on his face maybe wasn't the anger of a killer, but anger because she made him kill her? I don't know... As always, grasping at straws to rationalise anything my dear Haixia is doing... 🥺🤷‍♀️And now Hailou has set his mind on killing Haixia, but will he be able to do that? Really? The mask makes him look like a snake, returning us to the story at the very beginning where Haiqi told them Hailou was the snake that kills the sparrow (Haixia). 😭💔

Quite epic

Haixia is Hailou's guardian angel—dark or not. He wouldn't let anything happen to him. I had a hunch he would intervene, and he did! 👏😌 Bye-bye, Mo Yungao! 👋Also, I think Haixia is provoking Hailou all the time, trying to prove he's not redeemable, for it would harden Hailou and give him the strength (mental more than physical at this point) to kill him. 🥺 Haixia said himself that he wants to die, but he can't kill himself. I guess his dark self just doesn't let him. 😔And Hailou as Feikun Balu—just wow! 🤩 All his skillsets and abilities seemed like they were on a whole new level. The entrance was EPIC, the aura was overwhelming, and the way he moved and killed was like a tornado destroying everything in its path!P.S. I am actually grateful they showed us Mo Yungao's journey up to the point where we first met him. It explained a lot, especially that it has been the Evil God's influence on everything that has happened from the very start. 👆

What a situation!

Shaoshang is so reckless. I know Buyi likes her the way she is, but oh boy, the situation they got into because of the tally! Not only did the Crown Prince lose it because he didn't listen to Buyi's advice not to take it outside the Eastern Palace, but also, due to the Crown Princess Consort's plea for help, Shaoshang decided to make a fake one. 🫣🫢😰And that's a crime for which one's whole kin can get executed... Oh, Shaoshang! 🤦‍♀️ If Buyi hadn't given away his last remaining relic of General Huo, Shaoshang wouldn't survive this whole thing.At least she reconciled with Buyi and kind of finally confessed her feelings. 😌 The scene with Buyi's mother was so sad to watch. This was one of her bad days. 🥺💔
