Sophiee

Its quite simple. The He family only values their son so as soon as HY gave the title to HRF, she automatically became useless and discardable. They’re scared that leaving her unharmed might cause them trouble in the future so they blinded her and later killed her. For her ex husband, he only married her so he can use her family’s status to become a Hanlin scholar. Xu Zhiheng dislike her because she is unlady-like and is disgusted by the scars on her body. Tbh I don’t think what they felt for her is hatred, they simply doesn’t care about her. She’s just a chess piece to them, something that can be sacrificed when the time comes.

XJ getting punished is Xu Xiang’s idea. CZ isn’t bold enough to directly ask the emperor to punish XJ. You’re right on the last part tho

I think the guy is a bit too scheming and selfish but the word evil might be too strong for him. He’s more like a morally great character.

Xu jingfu also uses him so why can’t he do the same? Chu Zhao has been abused and neglected since childhood and his life only got better when his master noticed him. Is it weird to cling onto someone in hope for a better life? And he is somewhat against the chancellor, he knew at some point that his teacher has gone too far and is willing to cooperate with HY and XJ to get rid of him

Agreed with everything you said

Like I said, it’s from the leaked script. People are sharing snippets of the leaked script on xhs and I happened to see some of them

It’s a misunderstanding. It’s about his father’s death in the battle of mingshui. I’ve read the leaked script, he points his sword at her throat and even makes her neck bleed. Feinu even wanted to kill her right then and there because of the misunderstanding

what do you mean by “novel had it because of jealousy with cz”?

No, fl never really cares about her anyway and just go with the flow. But that lady isn’t that bad after all, she will get a bit of character development so don’t bother wasting your time hating on her

These changes are starting to piss me off. They never had these kind of misunderstanding in the novel so why bother adding all this bs in the drama. I know they’ll resolve it relatively quickly but it’s still annoying and unnecessary. We’re supposed to get a sweet and touching scene when XJ finally knows her identity and now we’re stuck with the misunderstanding plot instead.

She tried to take her own life by hanging herself on a tree. She already hung herself when XJ abruptly cut off the rope, she even want to hang herself for the second time with the already broken rope

She directed her anger by deliberately making things hard for her and by trying to embarrass her. Just watch the last 2 episodes and you’ll know. And no, she doesn’t have a lot of scenes

I never said it’s from the novel

She’s interested in ml because he’s good-looking and tried to get his attention but was ignored, so she directed her anger at fl. That’s about it

It’s about her failing to bring reinforcements on time which resulted in his father’s death. He thinks she deliberately came late and kinda hate her for it not knowing that she’s innocent. I heard that the misunderstanding are resolved relatively quickly do don’t worry much about it.

are you asking about the misunderstanding plot?

Nope. It’s an added plot

You’re right

But it will never truly be hers. Double edged sword ig?

It’s rather unnecessary. The fact that Xiao Jue thinks the ‘He Rufei’ back then deliberately killed his father by delaying the reinforcement is already enough to create the conflict. Him snatching the sword away barely had any impact
