Even though Murong Senior was the one who schemed with his son to trap him in order for his son to literally stabbing them back?

After having bought the express package I will say I’m a bit disappointed that we actually never saw him kill the elder Murong.

Still not really solved because the crown prince having a fiancé would be something that would be public
information. The fact that when. Buxia came back
and could only confirm that the crown prince
seemed to have a lot of lady admirers so it’s possible he could have a fiancé isn’t confirmation of anything.

Yup I agree

Yes, I understand they’re completely different, but they can still use the same elements. For instance original person behind her poisoning could still be the empress, after realizing that JZB who is her son has come forward. .

It’s very unfortunate.

So in today’s episode we’ll see her being captured and tortured and I’m having the soul seizing spell
placed on her. Someone commented to me earlier
that she’s actually at the transcendence level, which
is only the second level down from having the
highest cultivation level so the soul seizing spell
probably won’t kill her the way it killed his master.

The only question that he asks her is if she had any
sincerity towards his feelings and because it forces
you to tell the truth, as well as bringing out your
inner demon. She ends up admitting that yes her
feelings are sincere. He doesn’t end up asking or anything else which although I respect I find also disappointing because this would be a perfect opportunity for him to find the truth out since she doesn’t really have a choice. Then once the spell passes in the next
episode, you see her planning to steal it again she
basically comments to 27 that love means nothing if you’re dead and she thinks it’ll be better if he hates
her cause it’ll be easier for him to forget about her. I personally think she’s just in denial and that she’s not actually going to steal it, she just keeps telling herself that lol.

I still was very disappointed over the fact that I
thought she was having this break through even
though she was forced to confess something to him
that she probably didn’t want to and I thought finally like with this breakthrough she will stop trying to steal it, but apparently not lol.

No, I can read between the lines and the way she reacts. Plus I’ve run spoilers from the novel, which gives me a bit more insight.

I think to be honest, they probably dumb down his character for the drama because from spoilers I wrote of the novel he was a lot smarter more distressful and a lot more cautious. Then again he was also a complete womanizer and cheated on the female lead multiple times with other women Not even disclosing to the female lead after being in a relationship with her for quite some time that he was married and in a political match.

I will admit I feel like that. They did such a great job showing things from the mail Leads perspective. with his traumatic background and everything he went through.. so we see is more empathetic figure. For while we haven’t seen much of a female in the background at all.

That’s the thing everybody is different. Nobody is gonna handle things or trauma the same way. I like it because humans are complex beings, they react to their environments in different ways. We think the female age should act one way because as the viewer we can see everything happening around her. But she’s in the situation so she doesn’t have an omniscient view.

I didn’t take it this way. I took it to mean that she grew up in a place (the palace) where you could never trust anyone. Even those that were closest to you. If you think about it her mother the empress only cared about her as long as she was smarter, faster, and stronger than anyone else and the minute she showed the slightest weakness she was cast aside. So I think she also has trust and abandonment issues. She’s had no one that she can rely on other than 27 her entire life even though she and JZB have been together through many difficult situations now it still hasn’t really been that long. I don’t think only like a month or so. Someone who’s gone through trauma is going to be extra guarded and it’s gonna take them longer to drop their walls or barriers than someone who’s never gone through trauma. I know it hasn’t shown her trauma very well in the show, but having red spoilers from the novels rich the show is completely different from so far her life hadn’t been that great either.

I saw the episode 20 preview. It looked more like a midseason recap lol

It’s because they’ve done a really good job of showing things from the mail leads perspective and his awful life and traumatic upbringing. Which obviously explains why he is the way he is, but they haven’t done that for the female lead very well yet which I understand but maybe it’s cause I’ve read a lot of book spoilers, but I also can read between the lines and figure out that obviously her upbringing wasn’t as great as it should’ve been, even if she was living in the lap of luxury

I personally think she was just too shocked that he would have the audacity lol

Can you explain?

Yes, if they didn’t have this drama, there wouldn’t be a story. I just argue because it drives me crazy that people are actually like dashing the female lead without trying to understand things from her perspective.

I googled autograph spell was the reason why he could since it was Jingxi power was because Si Tu used a graph spell to borrow power from Jingxi Abyss in order to help MY free Buxia when her own power faltered

Or when Si Tu mentioned about her, leaving JZB and then JZB like sneezes 😂

So something I’m curious about since we know he has to face his inner demons in order to find the other beasts and his greatest fear is abandonment. There was a scene somewhere where it shows the area where the antidote should’ve been burning and him telling her that she’s basically just like everybody else. So I’m wondering if that’s something that he has to face in refining his demons and not an actual event that’s going to happen. 😢

I couldn’t understand where he was getting the power but your explanation makes sense

well at least I’m looking forward to that lol
