I’m not going to say that Ye Li is doing everything perfectly, and I am glad he eventually came around, but I can’t help feeling like the uncle was a bit unfair towards her when it comes to the cold shoulder he gave her because of the Granny.
The friend’s reaction to finding out that Mo Xiuyao can now stand and walk lol
The Marquis’ heir is such a horrible brat… It’s just a matter of time before he fu**s something and makes lives difficult for everyone around, I imagine.
The Qing Shuang scene… Honestly, I hope they finally have Mo Xiuyao try and dig even deeper into that now that he sees Ye Li is speaking to someone that’s just not there and realises there is more to it. Although he seems to be going about it in a different way than I was hoping for. Oh well, I’m sure they will eventually reveal the truth about the Li Mountain.
Oh, the Ye family – another example of the perfect, lovely family. Do these people even listen to themselves and think about the explanation and reasoning they are giving? Lol
Wtf that zither scene… If it wasn’t for who is involved, I’d guess that they are all in on Ye Li’s trick to scare them but now, I’m actually curious how she pulled that one off.
The Taoist is in league with Ye Li, I had a feeling that would be the case lol Swapping the letters, of course. And it’s a blank page lol
The funniest thing about it all is that honestly, all of these tricks work just because they genuinely have a guilty conscience. If they had done nothing wrong, they’d have no reason to be scared of anything lol
Wow, that rainbow sky with the birds flying by just couldn’t be more fake could it lol
The Granny passed away, eh? Interesting. I have to say, I like the fact that she essentially got killed by the tree that Ye Li planted with her mother.
Honestly, I just can’t stand this guy. Just how pathetic can one person be? And I bet that when it finally reaches him that no, she will not want anything to do with him no matter what the whole story is, he’s going to act as if she had wronged him despite telling him time and time again to leave her alone. I just want to throw up every time he shows up on the screen.
I want to beat the sister, too. Honestly, she’s outdoing herself with her own stupidity. She even tries to give Ye Li lectures, and putting up all kinds of airs, oh for goodness sake. Just shut up and stop embarrassing yourself by showing off left and right just how big of an idiot you are.
WTF with those bones in the water?
And lol, Prince Pathetic showing up to save the guy. I mean, obviously he’s up to way more than he lets on but really, if he goes about it the same way he goes about Ye Li, he should just not bother. The worst thing is, they will all act as if it was impossible to tell that it’s him, too. When he’s showing basically the most recognisable part of his face, too.
And wtf is with that preview. Granny is actually faking her dementia? Nice, so the whole family is just full of psychos.
what else is she hiding i don't mind spoilers did u read the novel
I didn't read the novel and I actually prefer to go in blind, so I don't look for spoilers. I was only speaking about what the drama has shown so far - the fact that she speaks about people in the Li Mountain, even though I am pretty sure they are all actually dead, about the fact that she knows what happened to that decree and who his brother gave it to, as well as the fact that she was the one to take out some of the people.
Mo Xiuyao’s reaction when she runs away, only for her to come back with a pillow lol
Dude, you have no clue just how much she’s hiding from you. You’ve barely scratched the surface.
The father is having a guilty conscience about Ye Li’s mother? A bit late, eh?
He’s the one that took the decree, too? I’m sure Mo Xiuyao’s going to be super thrilled when he learns that detail.
Honestly, I really dislike how she's playing Mo Xiuyao. I get it that she may have good intentions and wants to help, but she's really going about it in a way that just doesn't sit well with me.
Oh, here comes the mandatory cliff fall scene. It looked so bad, though, seriously… There’s a scene like this in most dramas that I’ve seen and it was honestly one of the worst ones I’ve seen.
Oooh, she apparently has some kind of a past with Han Minxi, interesting!
That said, at least they had her get injured from the fall for a change. Though it’ll never not be funny that cliff fall has 100% survival rate lol
Wtf, Prince Pathetic saved her and took her to some place of his? That’s sure going to end well… Of course, nobody is going to search there, either.
I won’t lie, when the official brought the food prepared by his wife, I couldn’t help feeling suspicious if it’s not poisoned, or laced with some kinda laxative or something lol
Awww, Mo Wuyou training with Ye Li’s uncle <3
“What makes you think you’re better” -> You know, Mo Xiuyao, she never said she’s better than them, just that she wants to try, especially that they likely used different methods than she would.
“He was so worried he’d have rushed here in the middle of the night” -> oh yes, his expression definitely gives that impression lol
Ikr, Jingli seems pathetic with those excuses. And her younger sister is actually very dumb, I don't know if it…
Yeah, I can't quite make up my mind about that. On one hand, it's incredibly annoying but at the same time, she's just so ridiculously stupid I can't help finding some of it funny lol
Oh, nice, he’s probably going to start digging into who Qing Shuang is and realise that she’s actually dead, which should also provide some answers about what happened to her, possibly the rest of the Li Mountain, and why Ye Li sees her.
Of course, he had no choice but to break the engagement. Don’t they always have no choice about anything? And he’s actually asking her to run away with him lol The guy is just so pathetic…
And Ye Li’s younger sister is just so completely dumb… Seriously, she must be making an effort to be this stupid… And then, when I thought she couldn’t get any worse, not only does she speak about killing Ye Li, but she actually tries to find someone that will do it XDDDDDDD I’m dying here. Did she just get scammed, too? XDDD
I honestly can’t wait for when Mo Xiuyao catches up with what she’s up to.
The rituals that the sister-in-law is doing – I don’t know, I always find it funny when people believe in crap like this. Be it in dramas, or even in reality. You’ve got to be mental not to see through that. Or drugged, I suppose, but first you have to be mental to actually get there.
I have to say, though, I expected that sister-in-law to have a more negative reaction. She actually took it relatively well and even appears to be grateful. Pleasant surprise.
Interesting, I wonder what the deal with the monkeys is. Maybe they are supposed to represent like, angry spirits haunting Ye Li or something… Or maybe it’s just actual trauma for her… Interesting, interesting…
Aww, Mo Xiuyao acting pretty sweet towards her. Clearly, she’s growing on everyone in the whole mansion. Very nice to see.
I have to say, I like it when the drama makes an effort to actually try and hide that it’s very obviously not the actor playing the instrument that we hear, doing their best to either not focus on the movements of their hands or trying to match the bits and pieces they do show with the melody that is being played.
The sister is really not making herself popular with her husband with the attitude she is displaying, is she? I wonder what the deal is with the guy – at first, I thought he had wanted a change in who he was to be married to, but now I’m not sure anymore.
The whole business with the tree… I loved how both Mo Xiuyao and A Jin were all ‘wtf is she doing’ lol
Everything she’s saying about that Li Mountain is so sus… I can’t shake off the feeling that it’s all lies too, just to keep up appearances when in fact, they are all dead.
So they don’t realise it was her that arranged this death? Interesting, I kinda got the vibe that Mo Xiuyao may be on to her.
Oooh, so she had him killed the way she did because he had some of her people burnt. That makes sense for sure.
It’s interesting that that guard is actually one of her people. And then she goes and intends to hire the other one that was also revealed to have come from the academy. I see, I see.
His reaction to her speaking about that maid was sure interesting. Not quite what I’d have expected given she very obviously wasn’t there. Perhaps Ye Li has done that before, so he is used to it or something.
I still think Mo Xiuyao may be on to the fact that it is her that is plotting behind everyone’s back. I may be proven wrong but he sure does seem suspicious of her.
I can’t say I blame Mo Xiuyao for being annoyed with how she’s getting into his business all the time, but she actually has a good point with what she’s doing.
Did she seriously made that robe for the guy, so that he would catch fire at some point? Lol She sure did. Well, I have to say, they have a knack for choosing quite… interesting deaths. One guy buried alive, the other going into flames lol
Oh, we’re getting Mo Xiuyao’s point of view of the events the past few episodes, interesting!
“She’s talking to herself” – I bet she’s talking to that ghost maid that had joined her in bed during one of the episodes.
But he seems to understand what she's doing - good, good.
So far so good, it is developing quite nicely. I hope the drama keeps this up.
Yeah, I recognised Bai Lu instantly, but I wasn't sure about Cheng Lei in the first couple of episodes. Good to know I'm not losing it hahaha :) Thanks!
Honestly this Astrologer is just so smarmy. His wife’s behaviour is no better, really. A match made in heaven, *cough* pun unintended.
Why do I have a feeling a weird accident is going to befall the guy that appears to have recognised him and call him by a different name…
The official getting scolded for reporting something… I’d have expected it to be his job to report something important, it makes me think the Empress Dowager might be fishy, too. Is she working with the Marquis? She sure seems this way right now.
Oh, they brought the Astrologer down just like that? Well, that was a bit easy but what do you mean, they just buried him alive there? :O
Feng Zhiyao lol Hitting his head, falling down the stairs, slipping into the water… I’m dying here. Totally not dripping water all over, totally hidden by that big leaf lol
Am I tripping, or is Cheng Lei dubbing himself here? He seems to hardly ever do that, so I’m not sure, but there are some moments that I could swear it’s his actual voice.
Another candidate for a Mother of the Year award, I see. Having no clue what’s going on, or even the kid’s birthday. Speaks of having no joy left in life – I don’t know, the kid seems quite resolute and all, I can’t help feeling like she might need to get her priorities straight a bit.
That Astrologer guy is so annoying… “My intentions are sincere” – they sure are, my a$$. And then that whole ritual…
“My husband and sister-in-law are easy to get along with” – lol, probably because you almost never see them.
I’m happy to see that we may actually see more of the uncle. Seems like a potentially fun character.
Also, what is it with Cheng Lei and bath scenes lol Is that like a mandatory point if he is in the title? Lol
Wow, what a lovely family she has! I bet the Prince has broken off their engagement at their urging and a promise of some benefits if he actually marries the other daughter. At least she has one decent uncle, not that it changes much probably.
Prince Ding is not too popular himself, eh? I can't wait for when the two of them are actually going to unite and work together.
Zhan Zhao, I know time is of the essence and all that but it’s really not a good idea to speed up that horse when you’re almost falling off.
Awwwwww, Ming Zhu’er showing up. I knew he’d come around. But didn’t Zhan Zhao already lose a lot, you had to kill Ming Zhu’er too? T____T
They finally show the full truth of what happened to his family, I knew there had to be more to it than what we’ve been seeing so far. And now Zhan Zhao’s attitude makes perfect sense; it’d have made sense even if he was the one to accidentally start the fire, but even more so. To the very end, he’d rather have Ming Zhu’er hate him than have him live with the painful truth T___T
Zhan Zhao explaining himself and giving the sword to Bai Yutang makes it pretty obvious to him that they’re not going to kill him off. If they did the opposite and had him assure the guy that they’ll see each other again soon – I would be worried, but when he actually pretty much says goodbye? Yeah, he’s coming back and Bai Yutang is probably going to tease him about not giving back the sword.
I’m actually pleasantly surprised by the Huo family plot. I genuinely expected the drama to indicate that they were fully on Prince Xiangyang’s side, so to see that it wasn’t the case and them choosing to turn themselves in was nice to see.
Meh, Bai Yutang actually giving Zhan Zhao the sword so soon… Such a wasted opportunity.
Oh come on, don’t give me a heart attack here making it look like we may have just lost Bai Yutang.
What an interesting weapon that old guy is fighting with. Here the two of them are wrecking the whole place, while the other guy just plays the game… lol For some reason, when Zhan Zhao swung this big thingy, for a sec there I thought he’d cut his head off or something lol
Wait, how did Prince Xiangyang got hit by an arrow by Zhan Zhao swinging his blade? My first thought was that they would reveal Bai Yutang shooting him from the back, but since they didn’t, just how? I’m a bit confused.
Thank goodness for the scene after the credits or I’d have lost my marbles. I couldn’t help finding it somewhat funny though, one is sitting with his arm in a sling, the other with his leg elevated lol Bai Yutang’s masterpiece lol I mean, it is a masterpiece lol And that “fight” lol
There is a part of me that would have liked to see them cure Zhan Zhao, maybe give Ming Zhu’er a proper burial, have Zhao Zhi’er react to Ming Zhu’er’s death and, most importantly, I’d still like to know how Zhan Zhao went from abandoning his Yaksha way to working at Kaifeng Court. Season 2, please. Pretty please? Very pretty please? I need more of this drama, and more of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang’s bickering.
Still - an excellent drama and I enjoyed every moment of it!

„It became such a big thing?” --> DUH? Geez, she’s so dumb it’s genuinely painful to watch at times.
“Go around him” -> Girl, can you see how narrow the road is? Your carriage is barely fitting there, and you want him to go AROUND someone?
Prince Pathetic is still at it, I see. Dude, just what do you think you’re going to accomplish? Oh, and you are making it about yourself, too?
I swear, both of them are really worth each other. I bet he’s going to go maniac, acting as if she had wronged him by pushing him away.
Hahahaha, I love it that Ye Li has an idea of who the woman in question is, even though all the guy said was “That stupid woman” lol
It seems like like mother like daughter, though… The guy sounds like trouble.
Hahahahahahaha, Mo Xiuyao listening to the servants talking about him hahahaha. And doing exactly the opposite of what they're saying lol
Oh, we will finally hear some story, nice!
Oh, here comes the mandatory cliff fall scene. It looked so bad, though, seriously… There’s a scene like this in most dramas that I’ve seen and it was honestly one of the worst ones I’ve seen.
