I remember that it was the Boss of Power Gang who named the token fake after LSF showed it. But dont remember that Xiao family talked about fake token in Sward manor before ML departure. Did they?

So the question is - why Crazy Yan did that and with what purpose.

So at the moment it looks that Crazy Yan sent to Ms Wu just a fake token - to start hunting again. I guess there is no real token - nor with ML, nor with Ms Wu, nor in Xiao family. Just a plain rumor.

LSF gave QH that fake token. If you remember - they stole it together with his bodyguard. So LSF schemed with QH with that fake token against ML.

You missed my point. I wasn’t talking about what the drama showed—I was referring to the harsh reality of that time. No landlord family would have sold their land to save a daughter if they had sons and other daughters and such a big family. Land was more valuable than life itself, especially a woman’s life. Women were disposable.

In old China, daughters weren’t valued much—if one was lost, families often just relied on another for marriage. So all the drama about saving XX by selling lands for two episodes seems unrealistic. It looks like a modern idea, since now daughters are seen as just as important as sons. But overall quality of drama so far is very good.

Ahh, ok, thx, so that flooding matter was after the battle where his father died.

Exactly. Novel is built with a correct logic: one step from ML, one step from FL, one step from ML, one step from FL and so on. Specific sequence of such steps brings the final result everybody expects, just as in a real life. Drama script? - is just a mess of randomly picked stuff from the novel with no sequence and no logic.

Guys/ladies– just some quick survey.
Suppose, you love someone and want to impress your love interest. Which do you choose?
1) Show your best skills – with guaranteed top-notch results with high chances of impressing your love interest.
2) create something new – something you’ve never done before and gift without even testing the outcome.
What would you actually do in real life?

I say - I hate stupid plots. And stupid screenwriters of both genders (or multigenders, dont care). It has nothing to do with woman.

Xiao Jue was shown as a son of a traitor after his father lost the battle. ML was cut of army supplies and sent to the worst possible region. Howcome he is now the best option as a career ladder and his recommendation has value? Negative value - maybe.

Then I’ll be happy to see her volunteering in the army’s cooking sector once she’s back in service—though I doubt that will actually happen.

"Kinder, Küche, Kirche!" Now I just waiting for them making kids. 😀

Yes, the irony is: one second FL proclaims that woman can do more and can do better than just cooking, sewing, embroidering etc. - woman can break the patriarchal rules! Next second - she is cooking, sewing, embroidering. 😂 Logic?

Other girls - like, poor village girls? Because the girls she was chatting with have maids and cooks among their personnel. They order food. No noble lady cooked herself, cooking was not "noble". As well as in army - soldiers do not cook their food, special stuff do it.

The exchange between FL and CZ ( in CZ departure scene) was hilarious. He went on about how uniquely impressive she is—a woman who defies traditional roles, an independent fighter unlike the rest. FL was quite agreeing with those words. Meanwhile, standing right behind them was CZ’s female bodyguard—another tough, self-reliant warrior. Yet somehow, she didn’t make the cut for CZ’s "admirable women" list. Whats an irony 😂.

Probably as a thank you for him for kissing her 😂

Soooiii. The real question is: what does FL actually want?
1)If it’s her brother’s death—well, the ML already hates him and will kill him eventually. So her becoming a general again is pointless; the ML will handle it.
2)if she truly wants to be a general, then she should own it: stop being a damsel in distress. Be self-sufficient, survive battles on her own, and become a reliable winner —not just the ML’s shadow. Earn merits, climb the ranks, and stand on her own.

Right now, her claim of "I will be a general" - just sounds like: "I’ll stick to you, let you keep saving me, and when you finally collapse from exhaustion—I’ll take your place." :D

Sorry guys, but that’s how it looks now. 😂

It feels like the FL doesn’t really know what she wants. If she wants to be more woman and embrace a traditionally feminine role—cooking, sewing clothes, embroidering pouches for her lover, having kids, and only helping the ML if and when possible (since his revenge against her traitorous brother would also avenge her), that’s totally fine.

But no, she never actually claims that role. Instead, she insists on becoming a second general under the emperor, right behind the ML. How come? A true general saves lives, earns merits, and gets promotions in rank, status, and army titles after major battles.

But what do we see now? She just follows the ML around, cosplaying different genders and identities, never advancing in rank or status despite her achievements, and constantly needing him to survive. And now she’s suddenly embroidering and sewing. The writing logic here is really strange.

So it is impossible for most scriptwriters to amend misoginic traits. Why not let the FL do what she is the best in - fight, learn, stategise, act. Why the hell she never saves ML, but he saves her all the time? Why is he the thinker and she is the doer if the drama name states that it is her journey. And again - first thing she is doing in her free time is not learning, practicing the fight or socializing - but cooking, embroidering and looking the posdibility to sew up ML clothing? Ok with cooking. But sewing? Is she a maid? I could understand if this was always her hobby even before (sewing up clothing for her friends) - but no, it is not the case. Why FL and ML cant be equals? The drama states that before she becomes general because of her noble family, she started from a good position. Now it looks that she sticks to ML who saves her hundreds times. So in the end she will be a general because ML saves her hundreds times and helps to resolve every issue.
