Okay, so I think I got most of the story but I’m confused about one thing. Is TJR playing two different characters? Because they said at the ending of ep 5 that the dragon guy lost his powers and can’t leave his temple. But we have Ji Ling gallivanting away and flirting with girls….soo, are they two different people? Or is he just pretending to be a ‘I’m-just-a-cutie-patootie’?
Luo Yunxi has his entire sibling set in this drama. Riley Wang (Shisan tower) was his brother in Love is Sweet; Shen Dage was his brother in Till the End of the Moon; the flower chess lady was his sister in Follow your Heart.
An idea for season two. A family lives in the mountains in a small village and the parents live each other very much. The mom is a teacher and the dad is a chef and is a mischievous guy always getting in trouble with his wife. Suddenly the country faces a threat from the west the children realise that their mom is the famous General Li and their dad is Annan Wang. And they all set out on a journey to save the two kingdoms. Now THAT would be a great watch.
Can you imagine how the fl must be feeling? She’s only ever loved two men and they both manipulated and used her (from her pov). Both the crown prince and Jin’ An. Yes, Jin’an didn’t do it on purpose but she doesn’t know that. What she must be going through 😔
The actor playing Ouyang Jun is emoting so well?? In the scene where he finds out Qiao’s backstory, the way he smiles with tears in his eyes? He’s really good.
I see your point and this what I think could’ve happened. When she was with them as He Rufei they most probably…
As for the scene on the battlefield, uhhhhhhhhhhhh 🙂↕️
If I had to defend it, I could say, even the best of us have vulnerable moments? It wasn’t a damsel in distress moment but since they’re a Power Couple, it would be like watching each other’s back? I guess?
This show isn’t perfect but I feel its a step in a good direction.
After watching episodes 25-26, the writers finally gave He Yan some leeway to showcase her brilliance (with Dudu…
I see your point and this what I think could’ve happened. When she was with them as He Rufei they most probably didn’t come into too much civilian contact TOGETHER. All men were misogynistic to some level as we always see. Dudu, with his way of thinking is an anomaly (he had more of a problem with her being He Rufei than a woman), but that’s also probably because he’s the male lead. If he was anything written historically accurate, he would’ve reacted like Li Shang from Mulan, the moment he found out.
Coming back to my original point, even she spent a lot of time together with her Generals, she probably didn’t sit and discuss issues regarding women. At most , she might’ve just heard them pass sexist comments and might’ve told them to knock it off. No one expects their own friend’s misogyny to run so deep as to sacrifice women just for a superficial thing such as ‘dignity’. No wonder she was horrified by his behaviour.
And currently, she’s at a lower rank than her own man and she’s trying her damndest to save the women. I don’t think Dudu arriving saved her. Had she been General He Rufei, she could’ve done it easily. I feel like Dudu arriving with his battalion only gave them an extra edge against the Wutuo army.
I’ve seen the actor for He Rufei in other shows but he’s always played such sweetheart characters like in the Lost Tomb series and Youthful Glory. Seeing him in a villainous role is such a change.

This is what I think.
