Same - GSJ is the smartest one at the moment for me. Given his 10 days deadline, I think he will either expose Lady Wuji or his fiancé as a spy. I really don’t think he will go after FL even though he doesn’t believe she is who she says she is either.

Not much has happened within the last few episodes. It’s just been GZY TALKING about how he is going to pass the first trial and the 2 brothers TALKING about how they will expose GZY’s supposed illegitimacy. Yes, we had another Gong death and Lady Wuji’s true identity may finally be exposed but I’m getting sooo bored with all this talk and little to no development in plot.

Is it just me or does anyone else think the pacing is incredibly slow lately?

There’s a rumor this drama is airing tonight?!

Idk if I believe it or if it’s a good thing since the ML would be competing with another of his drama, MJTY, and both dramas would be airing on same platform.

I think it has to do with the poison arrow SQG was playing with right before

Interesting. I am no expect between the 2 culture costumes but I know ancient Japanese costumes were inspired by Chinese. I can’t remember what dynasty but these differences/similarities seem too nuanced to be an issue imo

What controversy?

I guess it was just a gamble Wufeng took based on what they knew at the time.

The Gong family didn’t seem to suspect anything before and even after episode 4, they still suspect there may be more.

Why does Wufeng leak the news there is an assassin amongst the brides? Seems like self-sabotage and making their mission more difficult. They could have had 3 potential chances vs only 2 (and the Gong family is still suspicious after the one died that there are more assassins).

I don’t think their reasoning (kill one to keep one safe) makes sense bc the Gong family didn’t seem to suspect anything before this news leaked?

In episode 1, she and her raven attacked the real YWS and her mom. The eng subs are rough here and the raven said he didn’t kill “him”, he just immobilized “him.”

“Him” doesn’t make sense bc there is no male in the room except for the raven. Is it supposed to be “them”? Meaning, the real YWS and her mom are alive? If so, this seems like a HUGE risk for wufeng to leave them alive

How is she able to survive in Wufeng for so long if she won’t kill ppl? Or is it she will kill but will only if she has to, to survive?

Sadly, i never got into it. I love the FL but just wasn’t pulled in by the plot like here 🥲

Agree!

Yes

Loving this eerie and dark drama!! The brides’ white gowns and the dark, cloudy setting remind me of a gothic horror. I haven’t watched anything like this from China!

Finally finished S1 and I absolutely love how they ended with CX ascending the Xiyan throne!!

I thought it would end with some romantic cliffhanger since the story has been so focused on XY’s romance but i definitely prefer this ending.

Some of my fav parts in the last episode (and surprisingly, none are XL related although he is my fav character):

1. Jing seeping his tea UNFAZED when one of the clan leads get overthrown by his son during the clan debate. This is probably my fav Jing moments ever. 🤣🤣

2. The grandpa not fazed at all, and would actually be proud if XY kills Deyan and CX seize the throne.

3. The grandpa playing the dirtiest but funniest trick on his son, Deyan, by making him plan CX’s accession ceremony and making Deyan think he would be heir. His reasoning behind it was lit bc he is bored as king and needed some entertainment LOL

What is everyone watching while waiting for remaining episodes or for s2?

LOL! I love this.

He has always been pushing them together since he realized they were destined to be enemies but Jing could stay with her forever. XY was just too blind to see.
