It was not her decision, you have your opinion since you are replying to any post in this section calling her out for this matter, you should now just respect others.

He was not fatally injured, if he was, she wouldn't need to knock him out to control him.

Exactly, I like the FL, but would not ever say it is ok or just what she did, it is completely unfair to others and I expected the writer would make her character learn this the first time when she did it to XZ, but no, no development, she keeps doing it, next time she will do what? Place the Princess in a handcuff if she decides to go for a political marriage with the enemy kingdom?

Not only reckless, it was total lack of respect in some, lack of loyalty in others, arrogance in all them. She doesn't respect rules, she doesn't respect people's choice. She thinks she is the golden goddess owner of people lives to decide if they live or not despite their own choices. Give me a break! This writer is nuts!

He wasn't in a place to be saved, he was conscious and had a decision, in the end it is his decision, not her, and it is even more evident when she had to knockout him in order to take him away, if he was that injured she wouldn't need to do this. It was not her decision.

"It is all fair in war" is a say meant to be used against enemies, not against allies. What she did was definitely not fair, he was her superior and it was his choice, what she did to him was treacherous, he would never do that with her. Take an example on all the choices she made until now, many were wrong and dangerous, did anyone stopped her by acting behind her back? She said she didn't want to go to the army to the Tutor, he respected, she said she would save QQ alone to Marquis, he respected and even sent support team, she decided to abduct a prisoner, they let her off without punishment. But does she respect anybody's decision? She always take the "I'm saving you" card and fuck people from the back, then claim she won merit so she shouldn't be punished. This writer keeps doing it! There's nothing fair here!

Exactly!

It is not her decision, she is not respecting people's decision! Scriptwriter is a dick for doing this with the FL!

He must take male centered drama roles, he is acting in the female centered ones...

Oh my, I love that she went to the battle but I hate that she did it by knocking out Li Huaian. She doesn't learn, doesn't she? She still keeps doing the things like that, abducting the prisoner, drugging the Marquis, knocking out the general, can't her merits be achieved in a righteous way? Must it be by rebellious acts? It tarnishes her path, why couldn't she go to the fight together with Li, then during the fight she protects him and takes the lead, why must it be by "stabbing from the back"? I hate it!

Yes, it doesn't make sense, so why they put that flashback during the extra scene? The timeline is so messed up

Agree, they could have made something more organic like being ambushed in the woods and separating from there, but they made it very confusing and inorganic as you said, for the master she sad she didn't like fight, for the princess she said she wanted to rebuild Linan, for the Marquis she said she wanted to save the other girl. In the end there is no valid reason it is just for the sake of the trope.

It appeared sometime between "do you like me" and "take a squad to protect her"

I cringed so hard in that extra scene...

Just thing about in society that Buddhism is so strong and that a person's purity is even linked to be vegetarian, how would a butcher be seen in such society, she is like an even lower status than a common girl.

I believe he is very possessive and he really wants her, but he is not the unhinged type, he controls his emotions very well, he is trying to give her space but let her go is not in his plan at all, he even already set her to be adopted by his teacher without even waiting for her forgiveness, so this patience from him is just a temporary facade, he is very much catching her with his net.

I meant sidekick because I felt like the knife had such a personality that felt alive, I wish it could stay with her, but I agree she needs perhaps a spear

No, I already feel this drama is fast paced, just embrace the immersion. People are getting addicted to those 15 min vertical dramas and are forgetting how to enjoy storytelling.

For real, the knife was her sidekick

One of very very few good female x male war fight in cdramas, you could tell she didn't win by strength but by agility and strategy, the actress pulled that off, her expressions gave the "I'm using all my power here and this giant bear will kill me if he lands a hit", very satisfying to watch!
