Of course, Xie Huaigui is going to be poisoning Li Mao even more.
I love how almost nobody is even surprised by what happened and the timing of the accusations and everything. And Xiao Wuyi couldn’t make it more obvious he knows exactly that Li Mao is behind it lol
Hahahahaha, Xie Jiayu just taking the document from Li Mao. Dude, are you really going to go the delusional route, believing that she holds any feelings for you still, both after everything that happened and what you are doing now?
LOL. I know that scene is supposed to be serious and all, but the “What do you mean by elderly?” in prison just made me laugh so hard.
A chance to choose again? Lol. No, really please, do not go down that road.
Never have I hoped more that a character would wake up and snap out of it than I do with Li Mao now. I really don’t want him to go down the typical road. I’m still thinking he will but hope dies last, they say.
Though, even if he does... I'm not sure anyone would be able to trust him again, and rightfully so.
Yuanji, you’re breaking my heart along with Xiao Yao’s T___T I’m not expecting a happy ending for them because the pairs I root for rarely get one, but you could have waited with crushing my hopes until last episodes lol
Damn, a part of me had been hoping for Li Lejun to have a very rude awakening upon meeting with the Eagle King and the guy not only not accepting her there but actually being anything but nice to her. I’m still expecting that to go in the direction, but it would be nice if she just had a bucket of cold water thrown at her.
TWO YEARS LATER? I figured there will have to be a bit of a time skip but I wasn’t expecting it to be so big.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything more fake than all the gifts and promises that Li Mao offered to Xiao Wuyi and Xie Jiayu and their marriage lol And the dishes and everything lol
I don't think Yuanji is a spy for the empress, but more of forced by circumstances. But I guess we'll know more…
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. With the direction he's going in, he'll only get worse and there will be no return for him.
So either Xiao Wuyi is going to have a vey drastic change of hearts and take the seat, or they find some more distant relative to do so. Or they'll just use their power to place whoever they want on the throne lol
Am I evil for being a bit disappointed that they’re actually trying to save Li Mao? I have a feeling that they are going to regret it very, very, very soon.
Oh finally, it’s time to deal with the Empress. Hurray.
Wow, the Empress even poisoned her own son? And he actually knew? Father of the year is already awarded, I guess she’s the Mother of the year award candidate lol
Well, at least the Empress’ days are as numbered as the Emperor’s. BUT I STILL WANT THAT EUNUCH TO BE DEALT WITH.
Okay, Yuanji, you are now officially not married to Xiao Wuyi anymore. Time for you to get with Xiao Yao.
There is no brotherhood between us. Only subject and ruler. --> You may want to clarify who is the subject and who is the ruler, you know lol
Wait, what? The Emperor knows who Xiao Wuyi is? Now, that’s interesting!
I don't think Yuanji is a spy for the empress, but more of forced by circumstances. But I guess we'll know more…
I can't shake off a feeling that there may be no redemption for him. I guess it depends on how evil he gets but something tells me it will be bad. I may be wrong, obviously and a part of me hopes I am. We will see soon, I suppose :)
The Empress is one thing but gosh, it’s the Eunuch that I want to see die a very painful, miserable death more than her even.
Noooo, don’t tell me Yuanji is actually a spy for the Empress. Please, let it turn out that she’s actually working as a double agent for Xiao Wuyi.
So that guy IS her old beloved? Xiao Yao, you better act or I’ll kick your butt.
I liked the scene at the end and all, it's nice to see even XIe Jiayu speak of her attitude in the past compared to know and to see them united this way. There’s one thing I couldn’t help thinking of… If he bled so much during the beating and all, when they’re showing his back… Shouldn’t it be a bit more injured?
I’m at the point when I wonder exactly who they intend to make the Emperor in the end. Xiao Wuyi doesn’t want the seat, and I can’t imagine he will want to take it knowing that Xie Jiayu doesn’t want a palace life. Li Mao is probably going to make himself as unworthy as they come in no time at all. Is there anyone else left to be placed in that seat?
I have a feeling he's around the very top of the list of those to be punished. There's only so many episodes left,…
That sure is a possibility. Though, a wicked part of me would like to see him be killed by Xie Jiayu herself, especially now that we have been shown she wants to learn martial arts. Would they show it for no reason? I don't think so, so she's probably going to use that on someone. And who would be better than someone who has hurt her so much time and time again, after acting like a caring parent most of her life? Not that I think it's going to happen, but it would be my wish.
Seeing Huai Gui oh so arrogant and full of himself in episode 17 turned bitter, full of regret, and quiet in episode…
I have a feeling he's around the very top of the list of those to be punished. There's only so many episodes left, I expect we should see him brought to justice one way or another soon, and I already can't wait for that.
Aww, Xie Jiayu, come on. He was clearly the one that made these for you.
I bet he’s just going to buy that mountain himself and just give it to Xie Jiayu, no borrowing or interest needed.
What do you think he wants, eh?
Oi, Xiao Wuyi, I’m pretty sure he had already forgotten that path.
I initially expected that Li Mao would force Xie Jiayu to marry him in the later part of the drama but now, after the way Li Lejun was dealt with, and how big of a role Xie Jiayu played in it, I’m not really sure anymore. Or actually, I could still see that as his way to take his revenge, forcing her to enter the palace, knowing that she doesn’t want to, and try to ensure she’s as miserable as possible. Unless he goes mad enough to think that Xie Jiayu was forced to do all of that by Xiao Wuyi, completely forgetting about the fact that it was her mother.
Interesting, interesting! I have to say – I definitely did not miss the Empress. Can they get rid of her already, please? Along with that Eunuch of hers preferably.
Well, that sure is one moment to confess your feelings, my man.
Oh, I completely forgot that with her mother dead, the shadow envoys would now likely follow Xie Jiayu.
Aww, I really like that whole Xie Jiayu explaining how she came to understand things scene. “I happen to know such a lunatic” and the way he smiles at that lol
The scene at the Xie family. She couldn’t make it clearer to Li Lejun that she knows it was her. Well, Li Lejun, you’ve made your bed.
It may not have been quite as… dramatically eventful episode as some of the previous ones but it was still very enjoyable. It’s so nice that Xie Jiayu now knows the truth, and I imagine she is now going to support Xiao Wuyi, obviously because of her own connection to him, but also as a bit of a honouring her mother thing.
In episode 10, when Xiao Wu Yi's eyesight faltered again in the competition, I like how Xie Jia Yu acted as his…
I know, right? So far, each and every episode keeps you interested and entertained, be it with action, twists, intrigues, humour or anything else. I really hope they keep this up all the way till the end.
That whole competition was amazing, too. I really liked how they showed her realising that his eyes are acting up again, and quickly jumping in to prevent everyone from realising. And how they practiced for that very possibility, too.
# Northern Qin has successfully infiltrated at least one of the noble families of Southern Ye. Hence that spy…
Oh, I know they are dubbed. It's just that out of all the episodes, in episode 16, the va really had moments of sounding genuinely like HMH himself :)
And I have no doubts going with the Eagle King wouldn't be all that fun for Li Lejun but I have a feeling that what's going to actually come for her is going to be way, way worse. (And yes, I don't want to know spoilers, thank you <3)
So, the Cui guy is not actually the real Cui guy, but an impostor? That makes sense supposed to be so completely different than his late sister described, especially when no one in the drama seems to be who they appear to be.
Oh, interesting. That would explain why he was treated differently than Xie Jiayu and Xiao Wuyi.
:OOOOO They killed him :O I mean, I half expected it to happen sooner or later, but was kind of thinking a but further down the road, having a very emotional moment as he is officially passing down the mantle to Xie Jiayu.
The carriage falling down the cliff… I know it’s supposed to be a heartbreaking moment and all but I don’t believe anyone inside is dead unless they show me the bodies lol It’s also 10000% plotted by Lejun, noone is convincing me otherwise.
Oh, they did show the body, ookay. I’m still not entirely convinced it’s not a plot just to fool everyone and work in the shadows because I’m not buying the idea that she didn’t see right through Lejun.
I mean, if I was Xie Jiayu, after that scene he is making, and everything else he did, I’d be kinda happy to be disowned by the guy.
Xie Jiayu… It’s amazing how you’re so correct and so incorrect at the same time… With everyone tricking everyone, though, I wonder how much of what she said to Li Mao is true, and how much is her just testing to see how he’s going to react. Though, I have a feeling she does actually suspect Xiao Wuyi.
Oooh, Li Mao figured it out that it was his sister that is responsible for the whole thing.
Nice, nice! I have a feeling very soon, Li Lejun is going to wish she had actually taken the Eagle King up on his offer and gone with him. Especially with what the trailers are showing.
I know HMH is dubbed in this one because he wasn’t able to complete the dubbing due to an illness but in episode 16, I could easily be convinced that he actually dubbed himself. Or they just used a voice actor for the scenes he didn’t manage to do himself?
Hmm, I’m not sure the Emperor has the right idea of keeping a balance. If anything, it feels like the way to have anything BUT balance between the two.
:OOOOOOO He actually killed her like this. Another candidate for “Father of the Year” award, I see. Though, I don’t think it will ever cease to amaze me that they just fail to bleed in moments like this lol
Xie Jiayu and Xiao Wuyi stuck in a cell… I half expected her to find a way to MacGyver them out of there lol
Oh, I see why the guy isn’t bothered by killing his daughter and the palace being unhappy about it. I suppose it makes sense he’d just find a replacement, especially if not a lot of people actually know what the girl looks like.
Is she genuinely surprised the Cui guy lied? Lol With everything else he did, it’s basically a given, isn’t it? Unless she’s playing him, that’s an option too.
Lol, that show with escorting the bride. But, I can finally see how Li Lejun is going to go down the dark path despite having been shown as a nice, sensible person so far. She’s going to do whatever she believes is necessary to protect her brother. Makes sense.
don’t watch and don’t come on here playing outrage fake hero
And you think that writing in the internet, on a page like MDL, is going to do anything?
If you're supposedly so outraged, why ask others to do something? Why don't you take actual action rather than spam a drama page that noone, who actually has any kind of influence is even going to see. Noone is stopping you from reporting it to the appropriate authorities. When there's a will, there's a way. Or are you too afraid that they will laugh in your face so hard that the blast will send you into space?
Yes, Xie Huaigui, you definitely would plot against anyone and anything.
Lol, the two watching the interactions lol They could have at least tried to be a bit more discreet rather than so obviously visible lol
Although, it’s interesting how the roles are likely going to be flipped for Xie Jiayu and Li Mao. The show they all put up lol
Is that scene when Eagle Wang tells Li Lejun that the doors will be open for her meant to be foreshadowing? Especially when he admits he’s interested in her even without the decree? And the music playing? I’m having such a mixed feelings about this idea. I mean, I can’t deny that him seeking her out to say that was quite sweet but everything else he did was the exact opposite of sweet.
Ooooh. The conversation between Xie Jiayu and Li Mao. I gained new respect for the girl, not being so blinded by love that she’s willing to go to any length to be with the guy, and not being willing to enter the palace to be with him. I’m expecting that he will force her to anyway, not accepting her choice, but I like her arriving at that decision.
“It’s exactly because it has nothing to do with me that I can ask” lol It has everything to do with you
Nice, nice, so the treaty is now signed and that arc is over. My guess now is that the next plot is going to be the Emperor passing away and all the mess that is going to follow that.
