Normally in ancient wars, generals did NOT do most of the fighting. Their main job was to plan strategy, position troops, coordinate different units, maintain morale, and make decisions as the battle changed. If a general died early, the army could collapse into chaos, so they were usually protected.
Generals typically fought only when the situation was desperate: to rally fleeing troops, inspire courage, or when they had no other choice. A general personally charging into battle could either turn the tide… or get killed and doom the entire army.
So a general not constantly fighting on the front lines isn’t weakness, it’s actually accurate leadership.
ZLH fans are weird. This is how they almost ruined my viewing experience in the past princess royal. If this is too female centric for you, go watch another drama. There are more male centric themes than women. This man gets as much screen time as the FL but he not doing the major killings is the problem?
I think in some previous episode the couple were talking about discovering the truth behind what happened to her…
That can wait. Her parents are dead. Her friend is alive. Same as the people in her community. Delay can put her friend in more harm's way. With the help of the ML, the parents’ case will be sorted after
I actually like the direction Pursuit of Jade is taking because it stays true to the female lead’s character. She’s always been a simple girl, her life has been about taking care of her sister, managing small business plans like a pig butcher shop, and looking out for her loved ones. Nothing ground. She’s never had big ambitions like becoming a general. So prioritizing going to look for her friend or returning the displaced people of Lin’an village is very consistent. I don’t understand what some of you are saying. It will be very unrealistic if she suddenly starts wanting to follow the ML to battle to gain military achievement. For Fan Chanyu, saving her friend is more important than any military achievement. FL do not need to borrow the ambitions and goals of ML for us to know that their romance is very strong.
I am glad Chinese battle scenes have evolved, tho it's still not accurate, like in real life mass of soldiers…
😂😂😂😂 I was surprised they won. Because the enemies ate them up but I guess killing a top commander usually weakens morale. I guess that is why they said they won. Soldiers will naturally retreat seeing that.

Please allows enjoy this drama
