It’s just a guess based on this being a mystery wuxia and Chen Kun only takes interesting roles nowadays and he is not the protagonist so…

Yes, they simply sleepwalked into being the world's second largest superpower by being not awake. The real question is who really needs to wake up here!

Only in fiction...

Eps 31/32 were peak bad. After that all the rest seems better by comparison bc everyone is just glad the writers couldn't "top" those!

I feel the underlying conflict/personality clash between them was never satisfactorily resolved. But I am fine with it. By then, I already had frostbite and enough was enough.

The flowers are supposed to be the women. Yups - another Blossoms theme...

I was never that angry at Yake bc for all the wrong reasons she saved TY from YJX. She was just a shallow woman who was brought down by her own vanity and pride. She always did herself in.

She took herself out of the game. Good for her.

Banned for 3 generations. They are all going to be peasants. Letting Mdm Yu go mad was letting her off easy. If she lived, I wanted her to KNOW every moment what she did.

That was just plain dumb. But YJX always had rocks for brains.

I never had any illusions about the emperor. But he lost me after what happened to Mo Yi.

Sigh! Its drama logic - the capital is way too dangerous. Much safer defending the country from Wangurs at the border. 🙄

The platforms know about all the sites. Taking them down is a legal process and just takes time. Tencent hires an army of lawyers whose day job is to do just this so I would be shocked if it isn’t already underway.

It wasn’t a choice - during Ming dynasty the child belongs exclusively to the father. The only way she would have gotten him is if YJX gave him up to her - which is what ZL said to him at the end - if you can’t pull yourself together for your kid then at least send him to Fan. Maybe Yake chose to teach other children as a proxy for teaching her own. Besides poor Ji is banned from taking the imperial exams so educating him has limited value.

I think maybe she reincarnated and forgot him in the middle arc. You can give it a try.

Yups that’s pretty much how I felt. Keep going?!

This was Ming dynasty. Women could only climb through marriage.

It’s like the moment he agreed to divorce her she decided to play nice! It was like someone else transmigrated into her body. 😅

There is usually an entire writing team managed by the main writer and the director. It gets noticeably better from
33.

I won't lie - Ep 32 was just bad. Its quite obvious that after Ep 32/33, a different writer took over. That other writer was probably thinking - wtf was my colleague thinking? And then chose to just ignore the divorce/couple conflict and continued the story as if none of that ever happened. While it is just lame writing and poor coordination between the writing team, I think we should just be grateful someone else took over after that.
