Jolieb Just finished ep 26 and I’m even more convinced about Xu Kai and Fu Dalong. 😂These two literally carry the episodes. Whenever their characters aren’t on screen, the episode feels kinda slow and predictable, but the moment they appear, everything changes.With Shen Run and Xie Shu, you NEVER know what’s gonna happen next. You keep wondering what happened in their past that made them act like this, what they’re hiding, or what move they’re gonna make next.They bring that tension and unpredictability that keeps me watching. Like, every time they show up I’m like: okayyy, what are they planning now? 😂🔥Honestly, these two are carrying this drama for me.And Qingyuan… girl, come on 😭 Even on the way to the funeral, her walk and her gaze were giving me nothing. Where is the grief?! 😭 Especially for someone like Shen Run, after everything they’ve been through together. I know she’s supposed to be strong and controlled, but I just couldn’t feel the pain or shock at all. That scene should have hit SO much harder.

That scene raises an interesting question about duty and morality. When Yu Changxuan’s father had to choose which son to save during the war, was he making a decision as a father or as a military commander?As a father, both sons mattered equally. But as a commander, he also had to think about the future of the military, and his eldest son was the heir. From that perspective, his choice might have been a strategic decision rather than a sign that he loved one son more than the other.But does having a duty justify the choice you make? And can a decision be reasonable from a military point of view but still be morally painful as a father?I think that’s what makes this situation so interesting. Sometimes, it’s not simply about right or wrong, but about two responsibilities that clash, leaving someone to live with the consequences of their choice.

This episode was remarkable and truly heartbreaking, and it made me question so many things…What makes someone evil? Is evil something that already exists inside a person, or is it something shaped by circumstances, choices, and the struggles they go through?And then I kept thinking about Zhao Yuanzhou. During the Blood Moon, he absorbs all the hatred, anger, and negative emotions of the demons. All of that darkness overwhelms him until he completely loses control of himself.He isn't consciously choosing to hurt people. He isn't even fully aware of what he's doing.And when the Blood Moon ends and he comes back to himself, he's horrified by what happened. He knows people died because of him, so he punishes himself and carries that guilt.But then I kept asking myself: how can we ask him to regret something he didn't consciously choose to do?To regret something morally, don't we first have to be aware of what we're doing? To know that it's wrong, choose to do it anyway, and then feel remorse afterward?So what does guilt mean when someone wasn't conscious and had no control over their own actions?That's what made this episode so heartbreaking for me. The consequences are real, and the people who lost someone have every right to be hurt and angry. But at the same time, Zhao Yuanzhou wasn't consciously choosing those actions.And that's what left me with the biggest question: if someone loses their consciousness and free will, where does their moral responsibility begin and end?
