She'll be in the story for a while, but not overly annoying or harming the leads too much. Also, her plottings are more alinged to politics rather than romantic.
Please help me for my confusion. Im at eps 5, so grandpa died right? Why did he still continue the wedding I mean,…
It's a political marriage. Both sides gain some benefits out of it.
From their marriage, Wei Shao gets Panyi for free, a strategic location that opens up Wei state to other states. A cruicial step for his expansion ambitions.
Xiao Qiao gets albeit temporary safety for the Qiao family. If she does not marry him right then and there, there's high chance Wei Shao will seige her city and kill all of Qiao family because his location and tragetory is very close to the Qiao city. Plus, since she will be beside of Wei Shao after their marriage, she has the chance now to make plans for long term solution. It's less about her grandfather's dying wish. It's her way of looking out for her family's safety by sacrificing herself.
This is the best gift Wei Shou could have given Manman. Knowing what her family's security means to her, he is…
It's most likely war horses as well. Some would surely kill to get 500 good quality war horses at that time. His gift was indeed thoughtful, just that not the right timing. xD
Ep21 Trailer: Been waiting for this haha. They pushed it way back.
I guess after a couple more light episodes, the 🐍 will be back and the main plot will pick up again. As much as I'm enjoying the fluffy atmosphere, I need them to get down to business soon because there's still a lot left to unpack, and would like the ending to be squarely stuck and not rushed.
Did she become so? If not who truly has the huadian mark as she wipes away in later episodes? And a lil bit spoil…
That huadian and prophecy thing was as fake as it sounds in the novel as well. Of course, it was our Wei Shao and Manaman who became Emperor and Empress.
The relationship progression in the novel was like Lust > Possessivness > Infatuation > Love... around that order. So, naturally they started off with that. xD
For the Novel Readers: Will the Secret + Purpose of Boya Tunnel be an important challenge the main couple must…
The tunnel thing is drama only, but same concept with what took placed in the novel. Angst will surely come of course. We are at the calm before the storm stage right now. None of the main issues between main leads are properly addressed yet.
So you think she's mostly manipulating him in 16/17?
Yea. With the amount of changes we've seen so far, we can only keep on watching. Imo, the change they'll likely make is what you mentioned, her act of sincerity along the way. The ending, I don't think it'll see changes at all.
So you think she's mostly manipulating him in 16/17?
Imo, at this point of the story, to a certain extent but there are genuine feelings as well. She's playing a delicate balancing game.
Blood feud are not easy to write off. She knows what's at stake. Even after she falls in love with him thoroughly, she'll not abandon the Qiao family for his sake's. The result she wants would be the other way around. And that won't come without effort from her end, be it via manipulation, bewitching, genuinely touching his heart, or a mix of all those.
Xiao Qiao is such a good character. She never tries to steal her man's spot light, and always knows when to feed his ego, and when not to. She's playing 3D chess with her husband, weaving in genuine feelings and deliberate acts. Perfectly in line with her overall objective of staying safe, get closer to the Wei, and save the Qiao.
Wei Shao is playing a losing battle now, which he definitely won't want to win against his wifey. hehe
It seems like he actually doesn't have any feeling toward FL. But, we are only half way so difficult to say for now. He's not meddlesome so far.

Come one, you trust him with your life for the military affairs. What's stopping you from trusting him in this area as well. 🤣🤣

But, romance is going strong so let's gooo Manman!
