To climb her career ladder. For a soilder from commoner background like her to move up, she needs to accumulate…
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.
Because she wants to. And idk maybe because all the men in her family tried to kill her? Also sowing and cooking…
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?
To show him she's into him and to show she can do everything like other girls
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 😂.
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
yeah i dont like the way its going they nerfed her really hard no way in hell she was a strong general before…
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.
Being pregnant possibly without marriage LMAO. Some people are shook about this on the C-platforms but it makes…
Probably the negative reaction stems from cultural traditions and bureaucratic systems within China itself. My Chinese teacher once explained that having a child outside of marriage is met with societal and institutional challenges. For instance, unmarried parents face obstacles in securing official documentation for the kid, which hinders access to public services. For example difficulties enrolling the child in schools or kindergartens, or healthcare and social welfare systems. In other words - such deviating from conventional family models could lead to tangible disadvantages. I guess nowdays it not very big deal, but still - many people are still functioning as in old days.
🤣🤣🤣 that is hilarious. JCT studio has quite a brave team with uncovnentional ways of depicting the caracter. 🤣 But I can 100% imagine that situation for TQ.
Loooove how was captured the classic "photo album moment" that every parent does. The dad flips through the album, showing TQ the pictures, and casually comments, "This one was taken when SCC was 6, and here she is at 10." Next moment - a closer look at the album, - and it's just a bunch of awesome action shots of the dad in his sports glory days. Hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
I dont find her toxic but i didnt like the guilt and anguish she unintentionally inflicted. I think it was too…
Oh, there are many people in this world who can have extreme emotions but after that emotional brake down - they are totally fine the next day. I am such a person. Because why to dwell on misery, if you can experience so many good feelings in this world. So TQ behaviour (fast move from bad emotions) is totally fine and understandable for me.

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