I haven't watched a ton of his dramas, so it took me a minute to realize that the ML here is the same actor who played the clueless demon sect leader in Love of the Divine Tree 😂. I say that because the story had to hit him over the head several times for him to figure out his second in command was in love with him, when it was obvious to everyone around him. That comedy duo was actually my favorite B plot in a series in awhile.

ANYWAY, nice to see his acting range here. And these leads have some great chemistry together!

I have to say, this show is unexpectedly hilarious at times! I'm really enjoying it.

So my theory: good "friend" Huajin tried to have fiancee removed, but Nianqi his accomplice had a thing for him and somehow faked his death, gave him amnesia and...installed him as her brother, while simultaneously constantly flirting with him, which creeps him out as much as it does me.

Oh, he 100% is. Those test results were definitely wrong.

Thank you! the answer I came here to find.

I'm 90% sure the new Commander is in love with the sister and has been for years, and he got himself stationed there to look out for her. And yeah, husband is definitely suspicious. There's a reason the sister took her own life in the other timeline, and he and his horrible mother are it.

My theory: The husband is already having an affair, maybe even arranged by the mother to get a son. (Although why they wouldn't just force the sister to accept a concubine into the house, IDK, but the mother at least seems bent on offing her in favor of a new wife.) After all of the drama dies down and the sister is free of that awful family, she and the Commander will end up together. Pure speculation, but that's the direction I see right now.

I always knew this was a romance! This couple is just a slow burn between two very broken people, but romance has been happening all along in their own unique way, lol. Just like that "confession but not a confession". They are not a normal couple, but wow is their chemistry 🔥. And I agree...I REALLY HOPE a kiss is coming.

Sorry/not sorry! Everyone should suffer with me. 😂

Episode 21: That was a love confession! I thought we were maybe going to get a kiss, even, but then it turned into a hug. I should have known. Goodness, the way these two stare at each other is more intense than other drama couples kissing. Both of these leads are excellent at acting with their eyes, especially Shaun Dou. 🔥

Episode 22: D*** it, Danxin!!! I knew it. 😭

For real!!

Are we....not getting another episode for two days??? WHY? 😭

Unfortunately, I can't see the name anymore and I don't see anywhere on my profile to view blocked users. But this person was sharing instagram reels and listing spoilers in them.

No, I'm not an admin. Anyone can block a specific user for themselves. Just click on their name, and then under the drop down menu for "add friend" there is an option to block user. Then you no longer see any posts from that person.

I just blocked someone because they insisted on posting multiple huge storyline spoilers without a spoiler tag. Come on. Normally, a few light spoilers doesn't bother me, but this was huge, giant spoilers about things like who the masked bad guy is from episodes that haven't released yet with leaked footage. NO THANK YOU. People can seriously be rude.

Posting spoilers without a spoiler tag, really?

I'm watching it on Youku!

This pace is killing me! One episode???

Okay, I am more convinced than ever that this was planned by our girls and they're putting on a very convincing show, because Hai Yiping is such a cunning villain, this was the only way they could get close to him and also get the old censor case officially reopened. They know he has his people watching their every move, so they had to fool everyone, including their Aunt.

Aw, they're having Yuan Shaocheng make the decision to choose her. We all saw that coin land with the smooth side up, but he's going to help her anyway. And now he knows the worst thing about her and it doesn't matter. He told her it doesn't matter. Still moving toward that slow burn romance!

They start as enemies, then reluctant allies, but while it's a long con game in the beginning when they use each other to further their own ends and are so focused on their individual goals you never know if they might throw the other to the wolves if it became necessary....in later episodes that is not the case. IMO this is an enemies to lovers with a different kind of vibe because it's a darker show with very broken people. They start out enemies, then reluctant allies, and now we've progressed to a very deep connection, but neither has fully admitted it is romantic yet.

There is 100% romantic tension! I think we'll be seeing that slow burn turn into something in these later episodes. They've also said things to each other that make it clear there are feelings there, it's just more subtle because they're both very broken people who have personal issues they need to overcome to take that step.

There is no novel as far as I know, it's all original, so we're all finding out how it unfolds as it airs.

I don't think she's dense so much as emotionally compromised - she doesn't believe him, after all. She KNOWS he has feelings for her, it's just that he's hitting her right where her emotions are when he tells her "how could I love anyone except MQ?" So she's letting her emotional reaction (jealousy and hurt) overrule her common sense in that moment. But trust me, it doesn't last. Just watch more. Your frustration is about to end, I promise.
