Sssnoopyyy

Anybody found the boy talk between DX and FJM adorable in ep 34? Haha, despite the craziness, we get to see a rare moment between the two of them where they're just happily having a chat like old times. FJM looked like a little boy in love

Mo yuan 😍

Despite the slow-burn romance and some unnecessary angst, I have to say I'm loving the action scenes and political strifes! FJM can be ruthless and unyielding but his ability to kill two birds with one stone and strategize is amazing. Same with the opponents. I can only wish to be half as brilliant as them! Kudos to not only the cast but the filming crew for executing the fight scenes! Love how the CGI effects enhance and do not take away from the martial arts and swordsmanship.

BTW ZhuoYing looked amazing in the latest eps. What a warrior!

Omg this^ although I feel like Youdu wouldn’t be as good as FJM in swordsmanship and strategies

Iiving for the action scenes and brotherhood between HS and zhuoying at this point hahah

Haha if he had a high EQ, he wouldn’t be human, he would be too perfect. 😂

In the past, the changes made to dramas - that should’ve stayed with the main plot - usually didnt’ work well. Glad it did this time!

I think they wanted to replace HS with her so that the two men have their own love stories. But that definitely made her character meaningless

Saw the trailers for ep 39-40. I guess as many of us predicted there is no love triangle. FJM asks DX to marry HS marries to protect her from the prince. It’s all an act. But seeing FJM secretly follow her around to ensure her safety when he is literally dying is kinda pathetic. Lol I’m sure there are other ways to protect her but the writers want to tie into what happens in the book, so I guess they do this. Seeing the changes from the original story makes me curious about how it will end! Tbh, the changes aren’t bad, it works for the drama. Tilan sort of experiences what HS experienced in the novel and probably will have a baby soon.

I miss zhuoying and haishi!!! Where is youdu lol

Not feeling the romance lol, it’s like she just fell for DX? After what? After all that misery? So random and toxic. I initially thought she was pretending to get close to him but guess not

That is possible, or a dream sequence. Lol open for interpretation. I did see from the drama poster and snippets of trailers where HS had her hair down in a very different style and was with FJM. It looked like they were living peacefully in the forest away from the palace. Either that’s a fantasy they have or them together before he dies.

Lol I take the trailers with a grain of salt, as it not the first time HS misunderstood him. Perhaps it is for his grand plan, but I'm sure the writers have dampened down his ruthlessness. It also appears that DX and FJM have a deal about HS marrying DX - still cruel as HS is kept in the dark, but there won't be much of a love triangle. DX won't fall for HS. For some reason, I'm still convinced that if DX has a child, it will be Tilan's. They already changed that part of the story because I heard Tilan ended up with General Tang in the book?

All these trailers are making things more exciting LOL

I think in the drama they'll tweak it where her death is fake? I see her wearing a different outfit with Zhuoying in the trailers. Why do I feel like the poison wasn't actual poison. But still it was heartbreaking, she was willing to die for him to leave without attachments. Also sad to see her and Aunt Su (who is so damn loyal) hug while crying. Aunt su is so nice!

Yeah FJM is too intelligent and strategic and ruthless. They definitely make him to be less ruthless, so viewers can sympathize with him more in the drama. I understand in the novel, he did it for the big picture, but it was still cruel for the ones involved as they didn't have a choice.

It's my first time watching this actor, he's good! Must've been fun playing two characters. He also looked like he had great chemistry with Yang Mi in their BTS - seems like a funny guy

LOOOOL honestly I feel like HS is the only one bold enough to stand up against DX. If they were the main couple, I feel like they'd be an interesting match, never a dull moment.

"Are you a mouse? Nothing misses your eyes''

I LOVE SHAOZI! Charismatic and loyal!

why do i feel like it's a fake death?

definitely DX's bro

ahahaha or maybe their characters' dream/fantasy of what they wish would happen if they lived like a normal couple. Highly unlikely it'll be a happy ending :(
