Xu Lanxiang, my girl! 😂 Now that we’re done with this phase, I need her to show this man some “wickedness.” He said he was going to make her fall in love with him, so sir, get to work! He needs to beg, he needs to yearn, he needs to yearn and yearn before she finally gives in. 😂
She really shouldn’t make it easy for him. And I’m looking forward to seeing how she navigates her new role as his wife and the young madam of the Lin household.
So, once again, this is not a call to cancel Lin Jinqi. 😂 Some of you become so defensive the moment someone points out that your favourite character did something questionable. Apparently, because we like him, we’re all supposed to be rolling on our beds and giggling at everything he does.
Episode 27 literally has Lin Jinqi saying, in his own words, that he understands why Lanxiang is angry. He had time to process and plan the marriage; she didn’t. He even says that if someone had schemed their way into marrying him without giving him a choice, he would have felt the same way.
THANK YOU. That is exactly the point. 😂
He may have had genuine intentions. He may have wanted to protect her. He may love her. But he still took away her agency. He made a life-changing decision on her behalf without giving her the opportunity to accept or reject it.
And yes, he can make it up to her later. She can forgive him. She can fall in love with him. They can go on to have a beautiful relationship. None of that changes what happened at the beginning.
Good intentions don’t automatically make an action right, and a happy outcome doesn’t erase the lack of choice that came before it.
And the “he could have made her a concubine but made her his wife” argument still doesn’t address the point. Wife is a higher status than concubine, sure. But a golden cage is still a cage.
Apparently, even the man himself knows it. I am glad episode 27 affirms my thought process
Why do I feel like Lin Jinqi sent Jiu Gao to tell Madame Qin the full story about how he got the marriage decree?
Because the way Madame Qin reacted after hearing that Lanxiang didn’t even know about the marriage, was about to be betrothed to someone else, and then slapped her son… she looked almost relieved. Like, “Oh. So my son is the one who did all this. Good for him.” 😂
And honestly, I can see why that information would matter. If Madame Qin thought Lanxiang had somehow plotted her way into marrying Lin Jinqi, the situation could have been much worse for her. But knowing that this was entirely her son’s doing, and that Lanxiang clearly wasn’t happy about it, puts the whole thing in a very different light. I think it is reassuring for her.
Do I have proof that Lin Jinqi deliberately sent Jiu Gao to tell her all this? Absolutely not. 😂
You all have eye problem. I see pig face in FL. She is ok normally. When she is breathing she becomes pig. I think…
You said this yesterday. And you are on about it again. What do you want us to do about it? Why are you being unnecessarily vile and mean? If her face upsets you so much, stop watching. The actress does not owe you any aesthetic.
Obviously I wouldn’t want this to happen, and also as this is a drama, with ample plot armour and ‘suspend…
I also thought their decision to kill themselves was very shallow but I still get them. They lived in the Era where women’s worth were strongly tied to their bodies and things like that. So killing themselves was considered a greater honour. I mean then, you could be killed for simply having sex as an unmarried woman.
"Consent," "agency", "toxicity" etc. are relatively modern concepts, which generally didn't…
I think this is the last audience I will give this conversation because this has become ridiculous.
You keep talking about how many comments of mine you’ve read and how you’ve apparently been monitoring what I say since this drama began. I genuinely don’t know you, I don’t know what comments of mine have apparently been rubbing you the wrong way, and I certainly don’t come here memorising the comments of strangers. I watch the episode, I have an opinion, I comment, I respond to people who engage with me, and I move on.
At this point, I’m genuinely wondering if I should remove my nationality from my profile so that I can discuss a drama like everyone else without someone deciding that my nationality determines what I’m allowed to have an opinion about.
And yes, I’m a real person, so I’m obviously not above criticism. Nobody is. If you disagree with what I said, criticise my argument. That is literally what a discussion is.
But look at the difference between your responses and everyone else’s. Other people disagreed with my interpretation and discussed the drama. You are the one who made it about my character, my nationality, my supposed moral beliefs, what I supposedly advocate for, and then proudly announced that you’ve been building a “profile” of me from my comments.
For what? Because I criticised a fictional character?
And let’s be clear about something else: you came to my comment. The disagreements I’ve had with you in this thread have been responses to what you said to me, particularly your personal attacks and assumptions about me. I have not gone looking for you, I have not been monitoring your comments, and I have not constructed a profile of you from your nationality or anything else.
I have not personally attacked you. I have disagreed with your argument and responded to the personal remarks you directed at me. There is a difference.
So yes, you can continue monitoring my comments if you wish. I will keep watching the drama, and when the next episode gives me something to talk about, I will probably come right back and talk about it. If that irritates you, unfortunately, that’s your problem.
But I’m done giving this particular conversation any more of my time. You can disagree with me about the drama all you want. What you don’t get to do is turn a disagreement about a fictional character into an unsolicited character assessment of a stranger.
