You cannot blame her actually. Before that proposal banquet, LBY had never said any words directly indicating he liked CSS. At the beginning it was too soon, then when they were closer it was too late. But when she does understand him boyyyy it's explosive. She goes through quite a lot by his side.

You summarized it soooo well. NN will learn to trust LBY intentions towards her. Right now she doesn't really even know the man and the whole engagement happened so suddenly. LBY will also learn to rely on her.

LMAO that's what is so iconic about his character LMAO he really doesn't know just how intimidating he is. Comes to apologize for being late and pulls up with his own private security company

TBH YS could take a bullet for CSS and I would still dislike him. He ultimately sucks and I am sad I have to watch CSS engaged to him even for a bit. For some reason the character in the drama is even more annoying

I feel you. Like I know whats going to happen and my heart is STILL not ready. I just watched another video on a chinese youtube channel that has some new scenes from his exile and return and I'm already bawling.

Yeah I know, but even CSS realizes he makes those decisions because its in her benefit. If I remember that part in the book correctly, it was about drinking ice wine during the cold period. I think he was more an over concerned lover than a parent. He never stopped her from doing the things she truly wanted to do for example the part where he bought her a bunch of crafting tools for her wood work. CSS says it herself in the book that LBY understood her, didn't see her as weird or discourage her in the name of danger. She said she felt more at ease with LBY rather than Lou Yao who obeyed her every word.

Watching the clips from part 2 just has me screaming. So so much is going to happen

Episode 1 ( that intro to LBY's character still gives me tingles), The episode where she removes the arrow from his chest, Episode 22 ( the one where they roll on the roof), Episode 24 ( the proposal)

Actually, at this point, NN still does not understand the depths of what LBY feels for her. He is neither fickle nor controlling when it comes to her. Something the book does really well that I hope the show will too is depict the depths of LBY's love for NN. It transcends propriety and even logic at times ( If you read the scene in the book where LBY sees NN for the first time, the wordings used there are so vivid and picturesque. She is like a ray of sunlight to him, rendering him breathless). If NN understood this at this point in the story she wouldn't doubt the "oneness" her and LBY would have as a married couple.

So no I don't think LBY doesn't understand the concept of "walking on eggshells". I mean he has seen firsthand through his "mom" what happens to women who fall out of favor with their husbands and have no power. It's more like he would never make NN live according to the whims of his mood. She begins to understand this much later. I can't blame her right now because she really hasn't gotten the chance to know him

I wish people would stop comparing the two!!!!! They're not even the same genre and now ZLS has started getting a lot of hate for no reason because of people who keep comparing the two. They are two separate works of arts in different genres. You can appreciate one without comparing to the other. LLTG has NOTHING to do with IS.

TBH I am too busy loving Lu Si. I really started paying attention to her this year and I have been binging her works. Started with Oh My Emperor a couple months ago then watched Love Better than Immortality. Wanted to watch WRTW but decided on LLTG first

I mean TBH most of the shows he has been in up un til recently, he was a minor. Even the long Ballad was filmed when he was like 17 or so and considering his co star was like 28, I get it. That's why I am so excited about the casting and pairing. Wu Lei is finally an adult and Lu Si is pretty much the same age as him (1 year apart).

He has kisses in this drama (LLTG) quite a few actually based on the BTS, GIFs, and oST videos I have seen

You need these episodes to understand CSS, why she is the way she is and why her biggest desire is to leave that family.

Yup it was hard carried by these factors and the story that by a few episodes in I stopped paying attention to the CGI

Your response still doesn't negate my argument: it's clear to the viewers that her mom does love her and is trying to make up for lost time. but the FACT is her mom is going about it the wrong way and really TRULY doesn't see the good in CSS. She thinks she has been ruined by the aunt and there's hardly any positive about her.

LMAOO YS is still very far from truly being in love with CSS and realizing what she appreciates. So far he is like her mom- caring for her but never able to say one good or positive thing to her/ about her - something CSS hates very much

Yeah I am waiting too. I couldn't resist Love Like Galaxy and now I am loosing it wait for new episodes.

Even her actions indicate she is expressing her love wrong! In the earlier episodes the third aunt Shun Hua castigates her of being biased against CSS because she doesn't want to be seen as mistreating YY. Actions may speak louder than words, but even her actions leave a whole lot to be desired. There were so many times the things she does are unnecessary - for example the scene when she was sick and CSS&YY were taking care of her; she could have just let both of them take care of her and be happy, but noooo she had to put down CSS and hurt her. Don't classify it as Asian caring cause even today a lot of children have distanced themselves from their parents in old age for all the horrible things they did and said to them as kids.
