I got that too but felt it was too much to put him through. I did not like that when he came back Leshan did not…
Well, they have trust in him that he will do well somewhere to regain his status. When he came back, Le Shan for sure will not go down without a fight. She's Le shan afterall...
If we had more episodes:It would have been nice to see General She try to get his bearing with his family. Retracing…
his loyalty is with his mom and his sisters of course and his wife qiong nu. He'll be the final boss of the son-in-laws hahahah. Madam Li might have favorites amongst the S-in-laws but they'll never beat him because he is the only favorite son.
I cried a lot when the missing son came back. It was like a reward after all those years of her struggle, she…
he was missing without much words or mention. Then he came back with all those emotions and longing and bonus his status was really great he is a noble general. Madam Li got so lucky in life, all her daughters married to good husbands and he only son grew up to be a good man. Even qiong nu her adopted girl, is now related to them by marriage. It was all a perfect match.
Bro in laws alliance was the best part. 🥹🤣🔥
Wished they also filmed interaction with the Bro in laws and the returned Li brother. It would be so cool, he has 5 amazing bro-in-laws along with him to protect his mom and his sisters.
I never though I would say that, but I LOVE the mom ... she is a lioness and put her daughter first without trying…
I cried a lot when the missing son came back. It was like a reward after all those years of her struggle, she gets her son back. Their hardships were not in vain afterall.
Regarding what the Li family did to Yang Xian by the finale.
Here's my take. They played the bad guys to make Yang Xian a better man.
Yes the deal between YX and LS was almost over. He was about to win the bet. But they made the pact when he was just a proud and spoiled son of a rich family. Turns out, their family's richness was from corruption and their estate was confiscated. His family's downfall happened before he could win the 3rd test. And it would be hard for him to pass that test in time because of his financial struggle. Or yes he could pass the test, he wins her love, then what? his family will still be indebted to the Li's. They'll treat the Li's as their benefactor.
The Yang's became poor, they were dependent, almost beggars to Le Shan's family. If the two aren't separated, they would only encounter problems with money or between their families and their marriage would fall apart with bitterness.
On the other hand they could just give Yang Xian money directly to start over, and his marriage to Le Shan would be like just repaying a debt.
So they had to play the bad guys, they played a farce. They'll be the bad cop, Chai An would be the good cop. They pretended to insult him. With that he was able to walk away with his pride intact and have his own determination.
The risk was that if he really loves Le Shan, he will come back to reclaim her. If he's not sincere, he will walk away with the money, then he doesn't deserve her and Le Shan will be rid of him for good.
When he came back, he was not resentful to Madam Li, he said that he found snacks, clothes and other important items with the bag Chai An gave him. He immediately knows it was from Madam Li. He understands why they sent him away. Le Shan also knows this, she understands that Yang Xian needs to stand on his own to be strong again. That's why they were not forcing her to get married, and she was steadfast to him. She waited 3 years. If that's how long he takes to become successful, she will wait.
In short, the Li's added a fourth challenge. He has to start from the bottom to prove himself. They even gave him a startup fund. And he was able to reclaim himself. Thats how he prove he deserves Le Shan.
Honestly, I wasn't a fan of the ending. It seemed like they could've taken their time with it, and it felt a bit…
Technically, Yang Xian and the emperor are brothers in-law, and by that Le Shan would be in-laws with the emperor as well. But they had to be subtle with the royal intrigues, as this was the story of the Li family. A matriarchal merchant family that rise in prominence in the capital with their talented women.
Leshan was the spoiled rotten last born and she would be perfect for the reformed bad boy if she also had character…
She didn't need redemption arc because she was not doing bad things. Yes she was rambunctious, but that was just her personality. You cannot easily change personality. All the calmness and elegance of her 4 elder sisters, she took the opposite with her mayhem. She is fiery and wild but she was also compassionate and sticks to her principles.
I was a bit disheartened as well that after Xiang had already started to prove himself they cast him out when…
their deal was almost over but then his family's downfall happened before the 3rd test. He would not pass the test in time (Leshan gave him 1 month). And because the Yang's became poor, they were dependent, almost beggars to Le Shan's family. If the two aren't separated, they would only encounter problems with money or between their families and their marriage would fall apart with bitterness. They also could not just give Yang Xian money directly to start over, he would feel indebted and might not be able to differentiate love with debt.
So they pretended to insult him. With that he has to be able to walk away with his pride intact and have his own determination. Then they gave the task of providing the funds to Chai An.
The risk was that if he really loves Le Shan, he will come back to reclaim her. If he's not sincere, he will walk away with the money and Le Shan will be rid of him for good.

it was just a prank or a test. They wanted him to prove himself and not feel beneath Leshan. His dignity was destroyed with his family's misfortune. They had to send him away for him to regain his glory. They did the same thing to Chai An, and Du Yangxi.
Yang Xian - redeemed son in law Le Shan - Son wu kong Chai An - rich son in law Kangning - is a twin, had twins Haode - how to be mrs shen Huizhao - cinnamon roll son in law Sho Hua - niangzi/jiejie DYX - took over Fan ge's spot Fan Lianghan - doormat son in law Fu Hui - tiger Emperor - IYKYK Madam Li - GOAT Fan Ge - Li fam's plot twist Qiong Nu - made Fan Ge's return reasonable
I don't agree about Fan dude, i think this plot needed more explanation and scenes. But it's ok. He is now returned.
he and Qiong Nu 's story gets the shortest screentime but technically they had the longest relation amongst the couple since they knew each other already since they were kids. lol.
Let's be honest, the greatest character of the cast is Madam Li herself. A woman who raises 6 girls on her own like that, and Leshan as the youngest? her acting is on point. She's the GOAT.
When he came back, Le Shan for sure will not go down without a fight. She's Le shan afterall...
