Bella Anne

You're right. The thing is, she went with the successor of The 48 Strongholds, her cousin. And the news of the two was unknown after weeks. Isn't this a big problem if something is likely to happen to both her own daughter and her successor?

Yes, she is such a great swordsman and a mother who is very strict with her own daughter.

Until Eps 10 there has been no scene of his mother responding actively while she did not get good news about them.

Isn't this strange considering that the mother knows that this is the first time her daughter is on a mission out of the fortress??

IKR. I began to feel reluctant to continue watching the next story.

Truly a manipulator. Seems like 30s episodes gonna be more frustating.

How could she just give a nagging reaction for a while then she didn't bring it up anymore after Mingyi collapsed (very common ) ?? In fact, this was clearly the result of Mingyi not being wise in making decisions that even Yan Yan had warned. How selfish Mingyi is. He didn't want Yan Yan to know about her father's death not because he loved Yan Yan, but because he was afraid that bad things would happen to his future descendant--"

Yes, I can understand why you said that no one wants to be on #TeamCold-Ass-B*tch, because they didn't provide us the scenes about her personality-changing factors so that we don't have enough reason to accept her character transition.

Absolutely! The impressing unpredictable plot wrapped by outstanding acting makes the story phenomenal and leaves a deep mark on the hearts of the audience. Until now, I can clearly feel the various feelings conveyed by each roles since there are so many strong characters, not only the main casts. And as usual, Charmaine Sheh looked stunning.

Honestly speaking, IDK if when she met his ex after a long time, especially in a state of mourning at a funeral, that kind of flat face was indeed what the director ordered. But if not, if only that expression was purely the actress's initiative, then I really feel that maybe there was something wrong with Tiffani Tang's mood when shooting that scene.

I mean, I don't want to doubt the ability of a big actress like Tang Yan. If she really needs to, I would suggest watching the heartbreaking scene in Story of Yanxi Palace, when Fuheng just came back from the war and met Ying Luo who was just married, because I think the situations and conditions of these 2 couples are very similar in this case.

IMO Shawn Dou acted well enough in that scene, he can deliver his character's pain, but for Tang Yan....

IKR. That's also what I highlighted in my previous comment. The moment of their meeting after their temporary separation was very disappointing for me.

I didn't expect Yan Yan's character to be output like that, but actually it still makes sense if they show the factors that influence her character after marriage. However, here I think Yan Yan's character development transition is very NOT smooth.

I just read it this early morning & u welcoming my day very well xD

He can discuss this matter with his daughters in a good way. He can give his daughters understanding why 'upholding family status' is so important and obligatory for their family.

But look what he has done? He cuts off the road, made a big decisions unilaterally about the life of his daughter, without telling the person who will live the decision for the rest of her life. That's why I say that emperor and prime minister, their nature is very similar in this respect, egotistical and arbitrary. Suppose that Hunian, did not see the crown concubine in Yan Yan's dowry, maybe the royal decree was only announced on Yan Yan's wedding night. Heol

Have you watch Story of Yanxi Palace? In this recent eps, Yan Yan-Deramg relationship is similar to Ying Luo-Fuheng's. Do you feel there is something wrong with their meeting after Yan Yan married? I feel disappointed because of Tang Yan's acting, I don't get it why she acted like that in a funeral, and in discussion while Shawn Duo has potrayed poor Derang well.

Yes, she is. I think Story of Yanxi Palace is much better because Ying Luo's character as FL is very strong and deep. She was able to control the unpredictable actions of other characters, included Charmaine as stunning antagonist. But Unfortunately here, the FL character seems to have been defeated in halfway through...

IKR. I wonder why her character development has actually decreased.

Maybe that's why Charmaine Sheh took on this role..

That's right. Siwen has been told many times as a kind and loving father, but actually he also put his family's rank above all else. That's why from the beginning he said many times that one of her three children MUST be empress. It's because he wanted to raise the status of his family. If at that time Yan Yan married Derang, whose status is a noble, then his 'empress' blood family would drop in rank.

When Hunian sacrifices herself for Yan Yan, offering herself to be made empress, Siwen didn't approve it NOT because Hunian's knowledge of government is not as great as Yan Yan's. Hunian is very capable of doing it. But it was because Siwen knew that all Mingyi wanted was only Yan Yan, Mingyi would definitely refuse if it was Hunian and might cancel his marriage to the Siwen family. So actually their characters are quite similar, selfish.

And feed her husband when he collapsed

Yes, the latest episode is still Ep 28 in WeTv

That's what I'm thinking.

Indeed. I am increasingly wondering what she has been doing to contribute? She is not in control of the government, nor is her relationship. Her husband made a few mistakes but she easily forgave him, and how can she so easily be taken advantage of by that cough dude?

Me too. I find Hunian's story and sacrifice even more interesting now. She put the interests of her family above all else. I also have the feeling that she will remain a good guy until the end of the episode. I hope she will succeed in changing Yancage, not the other way around.

Yes, he has done his best. Haha yeah, now when she called out like that in that kind of situation, it felt inappropriate anymore.
