Episode 22: too many observations and cryptic dialogues..
1. Xu Kai… king of expressions 😍 Especially loved it when SML was at the door—he looked like he had encountered a particularly annoying fly.
2. Shameless Shen Run invites himself into the Xie household.😂
3. I feel like Shen Run and FL have a tacit understanding and work together no matter what it looks like on the surface.
4. FL is still angry and lashing out at ML.
5. Commander Hu is more powerful than the Marquis.👀
6. Grandma’s reminder to Xie Shu not to become full of himself and forget his roots and his future.
7. Were Xie Shu’s dialogues to Grandma actually a threat? Wouldn’t put it past this man to do away with her either. 😶
8. Finally, the slap… Xie Shu, you had it coming....can Madam Hu add some more from us😂
9. Xu Hing is SOOOO powerful??!!What exactly is going on here? 👀
10. They are all waiting in the hall, and everyone leaves one by one, eventually leaving Xie Shu alone. That feels like foreshadowing. Also Madam Hu specifically says she wants Qingrong and Qingru to have good matches.
11. Xie Shu and Shen Run’s father were that close?!! There are way too many cryptic dialogues around this relationship.
12. And Xie Shu clearly says, “The Emperor has already investigated the matter thoroughly and cleared the Shen family’s name.” So I’m guessing everyone knows who the culprit is, but they simply cannot prove it?
Seeing these comments has really got me curious... I’m late to the watch party because I know we have "certain scenes" in today’s episode, and I have to wait for everyone at home to go to sleep. 😂
Don’t need anyone catching me sitting here smiling weirdly at the screen and wondering what exactly was going on. 🫣😜
In Chinese entertainment, “water army” (水军, shuǐjūn) means organized or paid online accounts/users who manipulate public opinion on behalf of a celebrity, drama, company, or other interest.
What do C-ent “water armies” do?
They may be hired or coordinated to:
💬 Flood social media with positive comments about a celebrity or drama 📈 Boost hashtags, posts, searches, or engagement to make something appear more popular ⭐ Generate artificial reviews or ratings 🛡️ Defend a celebrity during a controversy by overwhelming negative comments ⚔️ Attack a rival celebrity/fandom, including spreading criticism or negative narratives 🔁 Repeat particular talking points across Weibo, Douban, forums, etc. 📊 Create the appearance of a large grassroots fan response when the activity is actually coordinated
The term 水军 literally means “water army.” The imagery is basically an army of people flooding the internet with comments—hence “water.”
I don't like to comment on other dramas in another drama page, but clearly as this comment was to mislead people...I'll…
While others with more privelge, more education, more experience are not....SMH Honestly if others are enjoying it...let them...but no, they have to come here and make pretentious comments to rage-bait
🤣🤣🤣 everytime ATC gets obvious criticism there are people coming here to pretend it is better. Jealous…
Criticizing is not always putting down something...i do have problems with the plot hence stated my POV and dropped it, and many share my POV too...while there are many who feel otherwise... But this is Spring of The Blade drama page and the original comment was clearly misleading people..
🤣🤣🤣 everytime ATC gets obvious criticism there are people coming here to pretend it is better. Jealous…
This is Spring of The Blade page and the person has showed up trying to mislead people.. And I used to not care too...but many read reviews to try to plan their next drama to watch...I used to miss out on good dramas because of such people who mislead or waste my time on bad dramas... Thats why its important for genuine viewers to speak their mind...
Evil Eye also said in her livestream just the other day that C-dramas are just spreading toxicity. Does that sound…
Dont bother about her...it's obvious she has ulterior motives,.,she used to criticise Zhao Lusi too, she used to criticise Liu Yu Ning then suddenly started praising him.... She is not genuine... Infact sometimes I feel she is jealous of people who make it big without support of big names or money behind them... These people bully the actors and add to the pressure an actor suffers and then when the actors health suffers they pretend like it is the entertainment industry and not them who did the bullying... I stopped watching her content..i am not interested in engaging with toxic people
Maybe I would have enjoyed this drama little bit more if I am not also watching ATC .
I don't like to comment on other dramas in another drama page, but clearly as this comment was to mislead people...I'll point out the following: ATC recently had the FL drugged by ML...ML is doing everything against FLs wishes and it is being made to look cutesy and romantic... ATC has been receiving negative reviews/discussions for turning into familiar tropes and lacking substansial script/plot ATC has been receiving negative reviews for making FL a flawless character... Reddit and MDL have these discussions and reviews and anytime the obvious plot hole is pointed out, a hoard of commentors show up prentending " that s what the plot intended" , "forcing a modern lens" comment ...and also there are commentors here on STOB page trying to mislead genuine viewers...dirty underhanded immoral tactics by ATC viewers, but what can one expect from people who justify drugging and kidnapping.

🤣🤣🤣 everytime ATC gets obvious criticism there are people coming here to pretend it is better. Jealous that unlike ATC , Spring of the Blade actually has a plot and genuine audience
I actually think FL lashing out at Shen Run shows just how much she cares about him and trusts him. She is usually so cold and poker-faced around everyone else, rarely allowing people to see what she is really feeling or thinking. But with Shen Run, she lets him see her hurt, anger and sense of betrayal. And honestly, it feels completely consistent with her characterisation so far—if she had simply understood and calmly accepted his decision, that would have felt out of character and, frankly, a little suspicious to me.
Why are we not talking about FL helping eldest sister elope? A rhetorical question...Sorry if I missed those comments.. FL may look cold on the outside, but she has such a soft spot for the few people who have truly been good to her. Her helping her eldest sister escape really got to me. For someone who has had so few people she could genuinely trust, she truly cherishes those who have shown her kindness. ❤️
