So in the novel she was in love with the 2ml? Hmmm! I hope that’s not the case here cos it would make the Ml…
She loved the SML and almost married him, but because of Jin Qi’s schemes and other factors, the marriage ultimately fell through, and he ended up marrying a noblewoman. The story has changed so much, and Jin Qi’s character is completely different, so I really hope this storyline gets completely removed as well. 😭
In the novel, I actually prefer the SML, but in the drama, I really wish he had never appeared 😭 Lin Jin Qi is really nothing like he was in the novel. I’m over here supporting his romance with Lan Xiang with all my strength, and the slightest interaction between them gives me butterflies and makes me smile like an idiot 🥹🦋 So why does this guy have to show up and ruin everything? 😭 I really hope the drama takes a different direction from the novel and that Lan Xiang won’t be in love with him. 🙏
Same here i couldn't complete first episode of spring of blade I thought I was alone that's what happens for a…
I’ll definitely give it a chance, but not right away. Like you said, after getting a taste of such an excellent series, it’s hard to move on to something else without noticing the gap in quality and consistency. I really like Xu Kai and Zhou Ye, so I’ll definitely watch this drama, but it really came out at the wrong time. 😮💨
Xiuwan really has no awareness of the consequences. No matter how naive she may be, they’ve been taught since childhood that a woman’s honor and reputation are closely tied to those of all the women in the household. Yet she didn’t hesitate to get involved in an affair, seemingly without caring about what might happen to her sisters if the relationship were discovered.
Xiuru, on the other hand, clearly has a lot of resentment bottled up inside: jealousy, bitterness, dissatisfaction… But she managed to pull herself together and at least think about both her own interests and the greater good. If this story became public, the consequences could be disastrous for the entire family.
Xiuwan was raised in luxury and spoiled her whole life, so a life without privileges or status would probably be unbearable for her. She should at least take the time to weigh the pros and cons and think about what she is actually capable of enduring, instead of blindly throwing herself into the illusion of love.
She knows that, in this kind of society, most men take concubines. She should therefore at least ask herself what she is willing to accept: living in wealth and keeping her status while having to share her husband with co-wives, or living without the luxury she is accustomed to and without status, while still not escaping the constraints of polygamy. These are exactly the kinds of questions she should be asking herself before letting her feelings completely take over.
She is so arrogant and has lived with so many privileges that she doesn’t even realize that she isn’t entitled to everything. She remains completely unaware of the danger, convinced that no one can, wants to, or is capable of hurting her. Her mother also bears some responsibility for the way she was raised.
And Jin Qi became dependent on Lanxiang so quickly 🤭! Whenever she’s around, he spends all his time devouring her with his eyes. He’s already in love with her, but he doesn’t even realize it yet. 😂
Jin Qi, what was that?! Coming over to whisper in her ear that she’s too clever to be a maid, with that teasing smile… What exactly are you implying? 😆
Because of Against the Current, I can’t seem to get myself to start Spring of the Blade, even though I had been looking forward to it so much. 😭
i seemed to rememeber in the earlier episode, there was an eldest sister that was married away in haste because…
Wait, wasn’t it Lin Jin Qi’s sister who was forced into marriage during the incident involving the former emperor? 🤔 Because Xiuwan and Xiuru have the same father but different mothers, and they’re Jin Qi’s cousins. Could you explain the relationships between the members of the Lin family a little better, please? I’m a bit confused now. 😭
Xiuru cannot actually do anything to 'interrupt the ongoing' activity because it would mean for her to announce…
The problem is that she has remained silent until now. She could have warned the elders before things went too far. Even if she wasn’t taken completely seriously, the women of the family would at least have started to be wary of Miss Du.
Xiuru couldn’t simply let this idiot compromise herself at the risk of dragging everyone else into the scandal, since her own reputation is also tied to Xiuwan’s. But it’s obvious that she prefers to stay on the sidelines and watch this idiot get herself into trouble. 😂
After all, Xiuru isn’t obligated to save Xiuwan every time. Xiuwan is far too spoiled and needs to come back down to earth and mature. She’s already well on her way to ruining herself.
We will see if after she discovers the lovers she tells Fengtai or the First Madam. If she doesn't, that means…
Having ambitions doesn’t make someone a bad person, especially since Xiuwan is ultimately responsible for her own choices. She’s the one who recklessly threw herself into this mess without being cautious enough.
Xieru is really being reckless. She should have warned the elders as soon as she sensed that Miss Du was suspicious, because even if she doesn’t necessarily like Xiuwan deep down, a scandal involving one of the daughters of the household will inevitably affect all the others.
But I think she’s also waiting for her moment. She prefers to analyze the situation before making a move. Beneath that calm exterior, I’m sure there’s a storm brewing. She simply doesn’t have the status or power to act yet.
This second sister also seems really intriguing. She’s the daughter of a concubine, and she clearly dreams of rising socially through a good marriage, so marrying a marquis is obviously a great opportunity for her. But I feel like she has a double side to her. She envies the status of the legitimate daughter because she always gets the best of everything, while she has to settle for whatever is left.
She has clearly realized that Xiuwan is throwing herself into the fire by getting close to Miss Du, but instead of intervening, she’s watching the situation unfold and patiently waiting for her own opportunity. 👀
The legitimate daughter is too immature and reckless, while the illegitimate daughter is far too cautious and has thoughts that run much deeper. But I think that very caution could also lead her to make mistakes, because she’s lacking a bit of maturity herself. She tends to internalize everything and quietly see herself as a victim, which could eventually come back to bite her.
I liked his fight because he was defensive not offensive and was only using his scabbard. He was trying to disarm…
In fact, he says it himself: this guy was still able to hold his own against him even with a needle in his leg. He was clearly trying to keep him alive, that’s for sure, but this guy, at full strength, wouldn’t have been an easy target. It was obvious he was going to kill himself, but I thought he was going to bite his tongue lol.
The writing of this drama is incredible everything is amazing: the music, the sets, The architecture is so beautifully detailed that, sometimes, I actually go back and pause just to admire how beautiful the shots are. The lighting is handled so well too. Hats off! 👏
TSY and LXI are delivering incredible performances. I didn’t really like the choreography in Lin Jin Qi’s first fight scenes, but today’s scenes were incredible and very well executed. The entire cast is acting so well.
That look of surprise and admiration when faced with such an ingenious mind… He definitely had a little flutter in his heart at that moment 😆. Now he’ll never be able to forget the look in Lan Xiang’s eyes, filled with determination to survive and make it through. It’s over for him he’s in trouble now Lin Jin Qi. 😂😂 Lan Xiang has traumatized all these big, tough men. 😂
