The FL is annoying me so bad with her treatment of 7th prince that I tend to fast forward her scenes. 😒😕🤨…
Wow...nice list. I fell into cdrama limbo after watching Legend of Zang Hai. Feud didn't work for me and after LZH, POB became a bit meh and I did not complete. Maybe I might go back to it later. LYN showed off his toned chest in a bathtub scene. Not bad LYN, looking yum. LOL I wonder if we will get a shirtless scene from him in DWD though. 🤔🤪😀😏
I have a 0.1% feeling that the Emperor is like this towards Heng to shape him into the Imperial Heir— listen…
Same here, I keep having this nagging feeling this is the "training" he is giving to NH. But dang, he could tone it down a little with the whipping. I am bracing myself for the upcoming big time whipping. I am just on EP 22 currently.
Alright will continue watching from Ep 17, and I hope my heart can take it. Got a few spoilers so I should be…
The FL is annoying me so bad with her treatment of 7th prince that I tend to fast forward her scenes. 😒😕🤨 Sighs...But I heard it gets better from EP 26. Right now I just want to grab 7th prince like a puppy and smother him with hugs and kisses and treates. Poor baby. 🥺
I saw this clip so, I think to discuss about this endingIs this may possible👀https://youtube.com/shorts/_6Pf-wnLcek?si=L-AD-d3jgHAclwj0
OMG...this would be a perfect way to end the story. 😀 Please no more tears for LYN's characters. 💪
There is another short of Nan Heng "dying" in SYM's arms. Not that one please.
I have long suspected the Emperor might have always preferred 7th Prince to take over. I mean look at the 18th Prince, no brains, no leadership, a total airhead. The country will collapse under 18th prince. But whipping the 7th Prince so badly is kinda overacting just to prove his dislike for him. The dude could have died from that. 😅
Hey Tian! Lovely to see you here. The Song sister may seem annoying but its for the greater good of the script.…
Hahahaha .... Hmmm...There were fewer annoying characters in TTEOTM. Lol. And LSS was conflicted when she had to be mean to TTJ. This SYM just goes all out on 7th prince here. Urgh...
May I ask what episode you are in? If you still think that way after ep 26 then I don't know what to say. If you're…
Thanks for the heads up. I am really struggling with the 2 Song sisters now. The Emperor and CGH are already bad enough...so many unlikable characters. Sheesh...
Hey Tian! Lovely to see you here. The Song sister may seem annoying but its for the greater good of the script.…
Hey Ash, you are here too! How are your exams? All done? All good?
Argh...the FL is annoying me to the point of being fast forwarded at times. She better pay the 7th prince back big time to appease my dislike and annoyance of her. LOL Younger sister is like a Miss know it all and I am going to start fast forwarding her too. 😅
Someone slap CGH for me please. He's sounding more and more like a a cheap villain.
Argh...CGH is another annoying character for me. Poor 7th prince, he is being surrounded by idiotic characters. 🤦🏻♀️ Heard EP 26 is the turning point. I am EP 22 and will be struggling through the next few episodes to reach EP 26. HELP.....
Please watch the whole episode, it's a proper turning point for FL :) its only going to get better! Nan Heng will…
I am at EP 22.
I was quite annoyed with the younger sister as well. Like girl, the dude is being abused enough by everyone around him, his dad and the silly goose Song Yimeng are more than enough and now younger sister "traumatizes" him with attempted sexual assault? Come on. 😂🤣
Sighs...Things better get well for 7th prince soon, I am also annoyed like heck for him. Poor baby. Based on what is being discussed, EP 26 is the turning point. Dang...it's gonna be a painful 4 more episodes to EP 26
Poor 7th Prince, why are the Song sisters the ones finding ways to strip him? 😂😝🤪 But I remember LYN has a nice toned chest when he did that shirtless scene in POB. Sooo...can't complain.😏🤣
Is it just me? Or are the Song sisters getting annoying for you guys too. One is too obsessed with the script despite signs that the script is not being followed and the other is a smart alec. Sighsss....
just because xiao yao and xiang liu were doomed from the start doesn't mean i’ll stop wishing they were endgame.…
You raise fair concerns. Jing's decision was not perfect — it was bittersweet and complex. But I don’t think it’s as clear-cut as him choosing personal desire over responsibility. Jing didn’t walk away from a helpless child — he stepped back from a teenager who had already led the clan for years in his absence, with the elders’ support, and who had begun to grow into the role. Reclaiming that position could’ve reignited succession tensions, especially if Jing and Xiao Yao later had a son. By stepping aside, he avoided that risk entirely.
As for Zhen being “trapped” — you're right that being groomed from birth doesn't equal true choice. But that’s the reality of nobility and legacy in this world. Jing understood that burden all too well, which is likely why he chose to break the cycle rather than impose it again. By quietly removing himself, he gave Zhen space to lead without the looming question of whether Jing would one day reclaim the title.
And while the absence of parental figures can leave deep wounds, Zhen wasn’t abandoned or left alone. He had years of care from Jing and FFYY, and likely continued to receive guidance from loyal aides after Jing’s departure. The story ends before we see how this plays out — so speculation cuts both ways — but there's no solid indication that he was left defenseless or unloved.
You're also right that the Tushan clan isn't immune to internal politics. But the clan continued to function during Jing’s long absence. His withdrawal may have actually strengthened Zhen’s position by removing any future power struggle, including from Jing himself or any future sons he might have had with Xiao Yao.
In a world like this, there are rarely perfect solutions — only trade-offs. Jing made a difficult call to preserve peace and honor his promise to Xiao Yao: to return to her not as Tushan Jing, but as Ye Shiqi. Whether that choice is seen as selfish or selfless likely depends on which values one weighs most — duty, love, or legacy. It's not black and white — it’s open to interpretation.
Regarding lineage: Hou and Jing share the same father — both are Tushan. Hou was scorned because his mother was a maid and his birth the result of an affair, but biologically, his children are still Tushan. Zhen’s bloodline isn’t impure — it’s politically complicated.
Ultimately, Jing couldn’t guarantee Zhen’s safety — no one can. But with Jing gone and no other legitimate male heir in the Tushan line, the clan has no choice but to stand behind Zhen, rumors or not. In the volatile world they live in, that quiet act of stepping back may have been the greatest protection Jing could give his nephew.
just because xiao yao and xiang liu were doomed from the start doesn't mean i’ll stop wishing they were endgame.…
On the “not even Jing’s real son” remark — I believe Winny likely meant "not his biological son". The boy Jing believed was his son turned out to be his nephew. But that doesn’t mean Jing loved him any less. Despite the painful truth, Jing never took it out on the child. He continued raising him with care, brought him up as heir, and even risked his life to save him.
Let’s not forget — in Episode 56 (S2EP17), it was the boy’s biological parents, Hou and FFYY, who poisoned him, just to lure Jing into a deadly trap. When Jing heard that the nephew was sick, he immediately rushed to his side with Xiao Yao to check on the boy's "illness", and in doing so, was grievously wounded by Hou and presumed dead for years. That’s not the action of a man whose love for a child is weak.
Jing’s bond with the boy was also not built on biology, it was built on years of care, protection, and responsibility. That also makes him a real father in every way that counts.

Ok, meanwhile hanging tight with my finger on the fast forward button. lol
Ok, stay strong ChunTian, stay strong. 😅
Thanks for the heads up.
I cannot bear any more abuse on 7th prince. *Gulps nervously*
Put that guy on the throne and the country will collapse. 😬🤦🏻♀️
The Song sisters are grating on my nerves. URGH!😬
Argh...the FL is annoying me to the point of being fast forwarded at times. She better pay the 7th prince back big time to appease my dislike and annoyance of her. LOL Younger sister is like a Miss know it all and I am going to start fast forwarding her too. 😅
I need to brace for it...which EP? EP 26 too?
OMG...he is getting flogged again? Poor guy.
Poor 7th prince, he is being surrounded by idiotic characters. 🤦🏻♀️
Heard EP 26 is the turning point. I am EP 22 and will be struggling through the next few episodes to reach EP 26. HELP.....
