Blades SoSo

It appears both Shen Run and his alter-ego Yan Rui are close to the emperor. And Shen Run has filed numerous petitions complaining about Yan Rui.

That makes me laugh harder than that servant getting beaten.

There's no reason for him to think that lower-class little girl came from a prestigious family.

Her mother called him Run. We never heard her say the FL's name, but it seems impossible for her not to have said it in front of the boy.

We don't know how long they lived together, but I'm sure he knows her name.

He probably arrived in Hengtang well before the FL. Given that he is a con artist, he likely had methods to worm his way into the Old Madam's good graces.

Four negative posts within an hour. Why are you so obsessed?

I hope you don't get hit with too many spoilers.

Enjoy your binge!

We're dropped back into that shocking scene where Yan Rui apparently kills the young man (who, remember, attacked Yan Rui in righteous indignation). But the twist is revealed.

Then, we're shown the ML's point of view of the fire.

Perfect editing.

It's something to definitely look forward to.
🥰

I think she's using the same name as before, and he has called her Yunya.

When did the ML let the FL go so easily? Do you mean the fire? Since it involves the Xies, the family he's targeting, he wants to understand why she's doing what she' doing. Arresting her won't help him. Besides, I don't think he's the type to let someone else get involved.

He's like that with everyone, but she pushes back. He's intrigued, and becomes more so as he realizes she's got plans for vengeance. Now he's sizing up her strengths and weaknesses to determine how she might help him with his own plans.

Plus, I think he likes her, which will complicate things.

"At best"? That's a slap.

Why? Because he doesn't understand Chinese? 🙂

I think they're really pretty too. But even if I didn't they certainly wouldn't impact my enjoyment of this drama.

Maybe the "colorful" eyebrows is a translation thing, like "shot" instead of "acupuncture"?

If you don't like leads, it's probably best you don't watch it.

She doesn't know he's her childhood friend. They were not "first loves."

Shen Run knows who Qingyuan is. He doesn't want her to know who he is because he doesn’t want her to think of him as her little playmate. He wants to establish an adult relationship with her first.

No spoiler; just my theory.

Why are you still watching? You've already rated Spring of the Blade a 3.5. Of course, ATC gets a 10.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

They're fricking shameless. I can guess which drama they're giving 10s to.

Ep 7: For a second, I thought I'd accidentally flipped to Moonlit Reunion, given the lack of Xu Kai screentime.
