Hmmmm was LMT really a bandit? I think of her more as a guerilla commander.
History is after all written by the victors and since Ziyu has taken back the throne from the dastardly Empress Dowager and family, then his previous "banditry" is now a righteous struggle to right the wrongs.
Ergo, LMT was not doing stuff for Ziyu out of wanting to be an outlaw but because she believed she was fighting the good fight. Thus, her treatment by CXZ should be framed as treatment of a prisoner of war, rather than just a bandit ie, CXZ does not have any higher moral authority in this instance.
Not that I want to draw too many parallels betwen ZWY's characters, but who can help it when CXZ and CX look so same same......this would definitely be the redemption and growth arc for CX in another time and world, esp the OG CX who killed TSJ.
Should knowlah. With her personality, pretty sure she ran off with some quixotic notion of fighting the righteous fight. She wasn't a bandit leader as such, more like a guerilla warlord.
Karma is a bitch and her name is Miantang!!! OMG Cui Xingzhou, you are so dead dead!!!
Yes I was just thinking this man is nowhere as good as Li Mama when it comes to making up stories. Doesn’t know when to stop with his fantasies of life with LMT.
As the drama now diverges significantly from novel, curious to see how it will play out. Fingers, toes and everything else crossed the drama writer(s) don’t mess things up.
