He could be the masked man - after all he didn't get close to Chui Huaiming but did get close to Zang Hai. He is more trusting of him as well - and pretty quickly. But I don't think he is the 3rd villain.

I feel the late empresses son might be. He isn't in the capital AND the emperor has a fear that he wants to take the throne from him. And I feel like if the 3rd villain was in the capital we would have seen him make a move by now. Which is more of a reason why I feel like its the prince that is away from the capital and is waiting to come back to make his move.

Rofl, oh I really hope this drama doesn't have an ending like Game of Thrones. I will be very upset.

I do wonder - that is more of a reason why I feel like its the prince. Because so far we haven't seen the 3rd villain make any movies. Makes me wonder if he is even in the capital at this point. Because the prince is not in the capital at this very moment - I have a feeling when the announcement is made that the prince is returning back to the capital is also when we might see the 3rd villain.

Agreed. I also feel like Zang Hai kind of enjoys it as well and finds it a bit amusing. He knows she likes him and he likes her - so he knows that whatever she does to him it isn't out of ill intentions but because she doesn't know how to handle the situation properly. I feel people need to realize that AnTu is a hostage princess at a young age. She doesn't know what true love is and what family is and how to handle these situations. Mr. 8 is a friend but they tend to act more in a business nature at times even. All her life she has just seen how people are dealt with through the political side or the business side - so of course love is a strange concept to her. The fact that she didn't take money from Zang Hai kind of shows how much she cares for him and doesn't want their relationship to be because of money. Instead she says "he owes her a favor". But so far her favors have been him going on a date with him - she just honestly wants to spend time with him. But, instead of just saying outright that she wants to be with him she kind of finds excuses.

Right? The fact that the masked man could find the identity of the 2nd villain but not the 3rd is suspicious. Now it could be that the 3rd person is very powerful or the masked man is the 3rd villain and he is hiding that from Zang Hai. But I find it more plausible that the 3rd villain is someone with a noble background - and the masked man mostly just wants the seal but is working alone and not with JingPing and the other villains with the fish piece. Like the 3rd master also was kind of suspicious with how she knew Prince Yongrong - like why? Is he also part of the masked mans team or is he behind the masked man. Just too many questions.

This is definitely torture lol. I need answers and instead of answers we seem to just have more suspects and no answers. I just feel at this point everyone is a villain of some kind.

Anyone else feel that the Prince Yongrong might have a connection to the masked man. The way the 3rd master made sure to let him know that it wasn't him that had any part of his parents death. I mean how can she be entirely sure? Unless she knows that he is on their side? Idk. The prince is just not sitting right with me - it feels like he is putting on an act but in reality knows more than he lets on.

He definitely is strange - but the way he acts kind of feels off. Like he is trying to be a lunatic but in reality he knows more than he lets on or is trying to hide his identity. In all honesty - I feel like he might have a connection to the masked man.

But their relationship is so cute lol. I am loving AnTu & Zang Hai's chemistry.

I mean yes we must still talk about the villains and stuff but the flirting is kind of a hot topic to talk about lol. We got soo many villains at this point kind of nice to just see some romance on the side as well lol.

But to answer your question - I feel like the next villain MIGHT be a royal. We know it has to be someone that can hide their identity so someone with power and influence. But the fact we were able to find the identities of the other 2 - and they are also powerful people. That means that the 3rd person MUST be even powerful than them. And I feel like the only person left would be a royal. Maybe somoene that is after the throne - the prince from the empress that recently died could be a good answer. He might be the 3rd villain - he wants the army in order to overthrow the Emperor and take the throne. But right now we can't see him because he is away from the capital.

I feel like with all the favors AnTu is collected from Zang Hai - maybe one of them will be for him to marry her and be with her forever lol. She seems to be the one taking charge in the relationship - so it suits her style as well.

Honestly, IT IS! I am kind of surprised by it as well. I love their subtle glances and the way they seem to care for one another. AnTu clearly wants to be with him as well and Zang Hai clearly loves her as well - he just has the issue of his revenge. But they are cute. Kind of hoping we get a decent enough romance plot lol. They actually have great chemistry..

I really hope Huaiming doeesnt come back - he already got stepped over and lost everything. So I am fine with his death offscreen.

BUT Qu Jian needs to suffer more. He has to come back so I can see him get tortured and lose everything. Dude killed a small girl - I think his death was too easy for him for all he has done.

I hope the bodyguard didn't die yet. I want him to have a worse death and lose more especially for all the crimes he committed. Killing a small girl - dude deserves to be eaten by dogs.

Chui Huaiming lost everything so I am fine with the fact that he is dead. Dude lived long enough.

Xiang AnTu and Zang Hai are so married coded lol. I feel like Zang Hai is the scared husband that knows his wife is angry but doesn't want to go home and face the music. While AnTu is the wife that is mad at him but still is willing to help even through gritted teeth - but all she wants is for him to send him some "flowers and chocolates".

They are honestly way too cute - I love their subtle glances and their bickering. But they really do just need to kiss already - they are on the same side.

I feel like the main reason Zang Hai never became too hungry for revenge is because of his master. The way he was so proud of his achievements and wanted him to turn around when he was in his official robes - u could tell he truly loves him and cares for him. I feel that Zang Hai had someone that cared about him and treated him like a son that he never truly went too dark. He actually received moments of true light which allowed him to continue to think about living even after his revenge.

We already have so many people we don't know what their motives are. And now we got a new character - and we don't know what he is thinking now either? Is he also playing Zang Hai - is he good or bad?

I honestly felt that way too. But it seems like it might be true. They talked about it a bit and they were saying how the Dongxia kingdom had used it and they were unable to beat the army. But the 2nd time when they went against them - they didnt have the army. It seemed like the Gui Seal was placed in that tomb in the 1st episode. Now I wonder why that is? Could it be that the Dongxia kingdom decided they couldn't control the seal so they decided to bury it away?

The mother should die but I feel like she is pretty powerful - and I think if zang hai kills her off now that JingPing might look at him a bit odd. Like why is she dead - and he loses power in the court. Maybe he wants her to die once he has decided to fully go against JingPing and pretty much let him know that he wants him gone. Right now he wants to suck upto him.

It seems like he was killed on his way to being exiled. But for some reason I feel like maybe JingPing kept him alive like he might also have kept that bodyguard alive. Just the deaths offscreen is just a bit suspicious.

Idk why I feel like JingPing is doing something. We see the bodyguard die off screen and now we also see Chu Huaiming die off screen - imagine he just kept them alive just incase or something. Idk it feels a bit suspicious in my opinion. I just feel like everyone has some kind of motives - and doing things behind the scenes that we will never know about

This drama giving me trust issues. And Zang Hai over here just asking JingPing to save him due to what he concocted lol.

Ummm that theory is interesting. I just thought it would grant the holder an immortal army. But maybe that also means that who obtains it can battle for the throne. I do kind of hope that the undead army does get awakened lol - I would like to see how the battle would unfold.

I am just glad we are starting to see all those snakes that were around JingPing getting their just desserts. More need a good slap. But I realized - once JingPing finds out about Zang Hai - its gonna be curtains for him. idk how he will get away with it. Oh the tension - idk if I will be able to watch until it finishes if jingping finds out
