Is this really that good (i am looking at the rating) - I have a hard time watching Allen Ren because his lack…
Yes, I am really enjoying the drama. It is more political/character focused, everyone got their own goals and plans. These other characters aren't just to serve the main character. The romance is secondary but when it is there, it is very sweet (though also laced with some bitterness due to their circumstances). I have come to really like all the characters, even the "villains". There are a lot of plot twists even within an episode and require the viewers to connect the dots because it expects you to be smart enough to do so without giving you constant flashbacks.
Also, can I say these previews are such scams and make everything look so dramatic with so much misunderstanding? Especially when the episodes are actually so well done and everyone is logical from their POV, even with their frustrations.
Jiang Ci making that Bitterless Porridge and offering Wei Zhao one PLUS adding sugar to his PLUS Wei Zhao's little happy smile... please let them be happy together for 5 MINUTES without all this plotting. 🥲
Wei Zhao miscalculated here. He thought this plan at the end of the day won't be too bad since he can use Madam…
Pleaseee, there were people trying to drag her character saying she was "not showing enough love" to Wei Zhao. She is trying to escape and making sure her master is okay, she don't got time for any of that right now. 💀 I know people love to ship but they really need to understand these characters still got their own arcs at the end of the day.

Yuppp, Jiang Ci is always able to put her emotions aside when necessary. Welp, what is done is done. We can say all of this as viewers since we can see ahead and everyone's POV. But these characters are all doing the best they can with the info given so I can't dislike anyone's actions here. It is all logical from their POV. I just feel for them. They have so much going on and not really a moment to truly rest and just experience joy.
As much as Madam Rong is kind of hurting our main characters... I just need to say, I do love her character. She is set to burn everything. Very career-focused of her. 😂 She /doesn't/ care for anyone else and I am impressed LMAO.

He really should have told Jiang Ci at the end of episode 32 there. But I am not surprised he didn't. He really thought he could have kept the Master safe. In addition, even with this episode, Yifei was the one opening his mouth for Wei Zhao about the emperor. 💀 Jiang Ci is so out of the loop here, I really feel for her. Because she has her own plan too, but she has no idea they have a plan happening at the same time. If she has known, she did have plan it differently and so would he. It is no wonder episode 33 of their peak conflict happened.
Madam Rong is so GOOD at getting them to join her plan. She hit them where it hurts:
Master Yan: She appealed to her with them needing to stop the marriage, needing to protect their children, and needing to expose what happen to Prince Qi and get the emperor to step down. Master Yan at this point is not just trying to free herself + Jiang Ci, she was also looking at Wei Zhao when she said it can free the people that it needs to aka him and the Yue Luo people.
Wei Zhao: She appealed to him about his sister and to get the emperor to step down.
*Wei Zhao knows the upcoming Yue Luo slave trade is coming up soon, so he is in a hurry here. He thought using Madam Rong (+ Master Yan) is not a bad idea since he can use their hands to do the work. He is on high alert, but he doesn't fully realize Madam Rong is out to get him too.
Based on preview of 33, he will probably manage to still be fine, but it makes so much sense why Jiang Ci slapped the porridge he offered away (he was telling her that her master was fine when no, she is an active participant in this plan). She was JUST starting to trust in him again as of episode 32...
So when they brought Jiang Ci and her master back from Yueluo, did they know who her master was? Did they bring…
Madam Rong found out because Pei Yan told her.
The emperor came to his own conclusion based on the description aka middle-aged woman who was taking care of her and who Jiang Ci called her master. So, he narrowed it that it probably was one of the Yan sisters.
Wei Zhao should tell Jiang ci about her master that she want to collaborate with pie mother she's doing everything…
Wei Zhao miscalculated here. He thought this plan at the end of the day won't be too bad since he can use Madam Rong along with Master Yan to force the emperor to confess. But he did not know that Madam Rong had other plans and is out to get him too.
The plot is PLOTTING in episode 32 (I really enjoyed it). It makes so much sense why everyone ended where they…
Wei Zhao following along the plan... oh man... and telling Jiang Ci her master is safe... (when she is not since she is now involved with their plan too). No wonder that preview for episode 33 happened.
LMAO, I don't think I have seen an FL in C-drama end up in prison as much as her (not for comedic effects). 😂 There is usually 1 scene during peak conflict moments but she is in and out of there like she lives there.

Madam Rong... she is something else, very convincing woman though.
