My feeling is that as soon as a woman defends her own interests, she’s often labeled ‘selfish,’ when in reality, she’s just trying to protect what matters to her. It’s interesting how that double standard always pops up.

The scene between the two sisters was so poignant—such an emotional moment. The dialogue really captured their differing perspectives, especially how both were desperately trying to protect their husbands. Who else found themselves shedding a tear? 😢

I totally get your point! 😩
The male lead's behavior is tough to watch, but his cruelty is rooted in his childhood trauma. Healing from that kind of pain doesn’t happen overnight—it takes years, maybe decades, to truly change. It doesn’t excuse his actions, but it helps explain why he’s so torn.
Still, watching her suffer because of his choices is heartbreaking. 😢 She deserves better, and honestly, Mr. Zhang feels like a much better match now.

As for the convoy family... I think their deaths were part of the shift in the story—from the adventurous first arc to the more settled, city-focused second arc. But it still felt like a cruel way to reset everything. 💔

Forget the drama, I’m just concerned about the underground city's collective vitamin D levels 😂 Someone get these people a sun lamp! ☀️💡

Yes, unfortunately Yanzhou didn’t exactly have her best interests at heart. They were ready to use her as a pawn, marrying her off to the enemy for political gain.
We can probably agree that her behavior is neither filial towards her family nor grateful towards Manman, still I see her struggle and I can understand. Maybe, I'm too compassionate. lol

Yes, her own happiness seems to always take priority over anything else. She even gave up her status, her luxury life and her responsibilities and duties as a daughter of a noble Yanzhou clan when she eloped with her beloved stable boy.

Yes, it's because his inner child is constantly acting out.

I get what you're saying, but honestly, for a C-drama, the FL was a breath of fresh air! Usually, they're busy being either annoyingly dumb or ridiculously childish, so having a FL who's actually smart and not just swooning over the male lead is a rare treat. I’ll take her 'wise old soul' any day over the usual drama queen antics! 🙃

Yes, the costume designer did an excellent job.

Yes, that was a bit too dramatic.

Yes, there is a whole filming crew around them 😂

Probably also the youth factor :)

I agree. Some people are heroic and bold, some aren't and that's OK. She's in fear of loosing her husband, because she loves him. I can't blame her.

Could Da Qiao’s actions really be seen as selfish, or is she just seeking a peaceful life with Bi Zhi? She gave up her noble status for him—maybe it’s less about abandoning others and more about choosing love over conflict?

Thanks for this insight. 8 PM Beijing time? Gonna check it out :)

Nobody is against her, WS is helping her, Xue Tai is suporting her.
But she still sees herself as a victim.
She's not evil, she just has a huge psychological problem :)

Yes, it's a mix of fear and anger.

The good news is, she is only a fictional character and not a real person in your life :)

If she gets beaten, this will reinforce her belief that the world is against her and that she needs to plot and scheme even more to survive. But we definitely need to lock her up 😂

"Promise me to stop loving her from now on". How is this supposed to work? 😂😂😂
