There are so many puns and visual jokes getting lost in translation with this one. The green leaf falling on his head while he watches FL talk with his cousin and the painter. I couldn't stop laughing. I wish they would include translator notes in their translations, but that's not as common anymore.

These relationships are plot spoilers so beware. short answer at least 3 OW and 1 OM.


ML is engaged to his maternal cousin, who does want to marry him. ML does not want to marry her, but is willing to because before meeting the FL he honestly didn't care about marriage/love. He thought of marriage as a duty and nothing more. He finds her annoying.

Second FL (He Zhen), has had a crush on ML since he saved her years prior from kidnappers. ML barely knew of her existence, and does not hold any feelings for her. (His paternal cousin, the "doctor" falls in love with He Zhen)

ML is "gifted" a betrothal to a princess by the Grand Empress Dowager(Zi Yu's great grandmother) in episode 28....tbd on where this is going...nowhere hopefully as ML has sworn multiple times that he will never marry anyone but FL in his life. If she will not marry him, he will not marry...ever.

FL was very close with Zi Yu and Zi Yu "loves" her. He knew how she feels about monogamy and betrayed her anyway. (either on purpose or accident yet to be decided) But homie knew he was going to be Emperor soooooo.....monogamy is kind of a no go for that title. I think FL at one point had feelings for him before she knew who he was related to.

Rewatching. Can't believe I almost forgot about the Chicken-Duck arguments in otherwise extremely serious conversations/situations. I'm dead.

If you're on your browser click the WeTV under the "Where to Watch". Second page of videos teaser 30.

Stay calm...home girl about to regret stepping into that room...it's giving teacher reprimanding student vibes in the preview. Or "oh...how nice of him to send me a secretary. I do have about 50 things to write, and I'm too drunk to hold a brush so you'll do perfectly. "

Pretty sure the last shot of the show is the last shot in the credits.

He really about to make that poor girl sit and write lines...yall I can't with this man.🤣💀 The uno reverse lord is in the house ladies and gents.

I was not prepared for this...🤣🤣😆

Our little simp Lord is going to be making a comeback tomorrow...can't wait. Also can't wait for the reaction to him from her family members.

I for some reason just can't be ambivalent about it. The over talkative fury rant that comes out of me when it's brought up in conversation.

Oh, home boy definitely about to wallow...hard.

No it happened before her amnesia. He's had the scar on his hand for a while. This was after he and his people were ambushed while under the impression of a truce. She remembers being the one to shoot the arrow at him, which confirms his identity as Lord Huaiyang to FL. She only shot the arrow at him because she thought ML attacked FIRST.

and did you mean pond?

Waterfall scenes for tomorrow giving "quick change". aka looks like exact same camera set up and exact same hair wetness level for both outfits.
Yes i realize the level of hair dampness is a weird thing to notice and comment on. Yes i realize my brain focuses in on random not so important things.

He looked down cause her hands moved and made a sound...he wasn't checking her for weapons. The second he read the letter sent from his friend though....yeah hackles fully up. Personally think he might have found her dagger in the vase. Or something with her handwriting...if he and Lu Wen ever corresponded he might know her handwriting prior to her injuries changing it. Now that she's healed both physically and mentally her handwriting might have gone back to her previous style without her realizing it.

again...I'd like to point out that FL needs to investigate the SML and his assistant because she just learned of an unsanctioned ambush on ML during a truce...which was what kicked off the main conflict between ML and Lu Wen. She realized that ML had a misunderstanding with Lu Wen aka FL. FL is leaving because ML doesn't actually know her, but because she knows she's Lu Wen that her life could be in danger when he finds out. She wants justice/revenge for her little brothers(juniors), and she can't get that while continuing to pretend to not have a memory and stuck in that town.

They are so much alike. They use Go strategies on each other. She places a piece here; knowing it will make him place one there. They are going back and forth, and I love it. I just want them both to be on the same page about being on the board to begin with. aka the truth out in the open so they can actually get to know one another. They know the core of who the other is, but because it was learned under a lie they can't trust those versions of each other right now.

That very loaded conversation at the waterfall makes me think it was a bit obvious....but then when he read the letter it triggered a memory and he went to his home with her to look into something. So maybe the waterfall convo wasn't as clear to him as it was to the audience. Either way, he either knows she has her memories back OR that she is Lu Wen.
My guess is that the letter informed him that her family thinks she married in the capital and/or that the man in the likeness is her uncle. Also pretty sure the vase he looks at at the end of the episode has the secret code painted on it or the dagger inside it. Either way I'm hoping that he's put together her change in personality.

I feel like we aren't watching the same show. She literally just found out that someone within her own group plotted against her and attacked Cui Xing Zhou when they were under a truce....thus kicking off their battle with one another in the first place. Up until this point she thought that HE had started the power struggle/war between Lord Huaiyang and Lu Wen.

She needs to leave him to be able to investigate/root out the person/people that got her beloved brothers killed. She's realizing they are more a like and that although he loved an illusion of her, that he isn't as bad as she thought he was. She needs to make a strategic exit. She also doesn't believe that he truly loves HER, just the version of her without memories.

They have a double meaning conversation at the waterfall. When he looks at the letters afterward he realizes something and comes home. I think he either knows she is Lu Wen, or that she has her memories back in some capacity. Either way, they are at a draw.

She's not going to the 2ML for anything other than clarity about what the hell happened to the plans/why her people are now dead.

coughing up a blood clot, grieving the loss of her whole found family at the escort agency, probably freaking over if her uncle is safe. Not to mention who has been trying to kill her and take over her place within Mont Yang. etc. Baby girl just really wanted him to tell her a truth to hold onto. He should have spoken about what they will do in the FUTURE instead of making up a past. I don't know how I'm going to do one episode a day until Friday.

Sleeping like a baby because he trusts her and loves her. I just hope she can piece that small detail together before deciding to really cut him to pieces.
