Remember YY's pompous younger brother who placed 2nd in the state exams? He wanted to gloat by inviting his study mates who failed the exams to his victory party and a servant asked him to reconsider. He allegedly had the servant beaten to death out of anger. I believe XC was the one who did it.

Ugh, ungrateful little tw*t. YY nurtured and protected him, used his power to help him in his career, never judged him for being the son of a murderer/traitor and he actually has the audacity to betray him?

Lol I think the Ji family wealth might have gone to his head. He got high on his own supply and forgot that his career was bought and paid for by his wife's money.

I knew that mentor was a treacherous, power-hungry wolf in sheep's clothing from the get-go. Now I'm waiting to see if my suspicions about Chen Xuan Qing are accurate. I believe he murdered that servant to frame his uncle.

I don't think Gu Dezhao is her son. There's a scene in which she refers to herself as his "legitimate mother". He's probably concubine-born and calls Madame Gu 'mother' because she's his father's legitimate wife.

Righteousness and upright moral conduct was considered one of the most important qualities in a scholar. Dumping his fiancee (whose family financially supported him) as soon as he achieved success would ruin his reputation. The bethrothal letter would serve as legal proof of their engagement if she ever decided to sue him for abandoning her (which wasn't uncommon in that era). If found guilty, his career would be over.

I'd really like to know this too because it's starting to put me off C-Dramas. No matter how hard I try, I just can't figure out the logic behind it.

Don't know if you've gotten an answer to this but I believe they're talking about the currently airing To My Beloved Thief...or maybe Moon River which aired right before TMBT?

Unlike some, I enjoyed this season as much as the first 2 instalments. But I'm not sure if it really was on par with the first two seasons or if I'm more easily impressed because of all the poorly written, poorly acted crap I've watched this year 😅

Well you definitely wasted your time giving me that nonsensical lecture, "auntie", its all sexist drivel I've heard a thousand times before. One of the reasons my country has one of the highest levels of rape and femicide in the world is because it's full of morally bankrupt, enabling aunties like you who teach their sons that women who behave/dress a certain deserve to be raped.

When my aunts gave me such advice in front of my male cousins they weren't keeping me safe, but teaching them that there are situations where raping a woman is justified. There is no type of alcohol on this earth that can turn a man into a rapist. Allowing men to abdicate responsibility for their actions has never kept any woman safe, it only emboldens rapists and makes us all less safe.

As for this particular actor's case, you're right, none of us were there. We're all basing our judgements on our interpretations of the information that's available. Of course how we interpret that information will be influenced by our values and our biases. I personally won't watch anything this actor is in anymore. However, I'm not on a crusade to get anyone to do the same nor am I judging anyone who's read the case and come to a different conclusion than I have.

When women are wary of men they're hysterical man-hating feminazis, when they trust their male friends and get violated they're dumb bitches who should've known better than to trust a man?

I hope my guess is wrong and that doctor isn't trying to save his wife by conducting mad scientist experiments on those poor villagers.

Lol I think he might be a teensy bit jealous because he knows JH likes his pretty shaman.

He's a naughty little munchkin that just wants to play (and flirt with a pretty girl) 😄😄

I think so too, I've noticed the emperor's started getting sick since he's started acting differently towards NH.

Song Yimeng never misses an opportunity to imagine herself seducing Nan Heng... 🤭🤭 Why do all her plans (from his assassination to asking for forgiveness) involve flirting with him?

See I don't think it's understandable at all for him to feel wrongly judged by FL. He would be justified in feeling that way about everyone EXCEPT FL. He's done more than enough earn her distrust so he has absolutely no right to feel wronged

Of course she would believe that he murders innocent women? Isn't she an innocent woman he tried to murder even though she'd done absolutely nothing to harm him?

He was whining about her not trusting him but what has he done to earn it? He was still lying to her and trying use her as as he stood there complaining about her not trusting him.

I'm sorry but you can't use "they both tried to kill each other" as an excuse when one of them was only doing it self defence.

Look, don't get me wrong, I actually really like the ML. He seems really lonely and isolated and it's really sad. I'm rooting for both of them. What I don't understand is why the FL is getting all the blame for how their relationship stands at the moment when the ML deserves far more of the blame for how badly he's treated her? Is it impossible to like the male lead and still remain objective about his behaviour?

Omg THANK YOU!! I wish I could like this a million times. The misogynistic double standards on here can be so tiring and are low-key ruining the viewing experience for me. Many thanks to you and others fighting the good fight and bringing some balance to the discussions.
