I don’t know how else to explain to you that murder is wrong in whatever language or whatever reasoning. But if you want to sympathize with them, imagine him standing in front of a court and saying, „I didn’t want to die. I didn’t want my mom and sis to die either. So I killed my wife, her brother and my father-in-law. That’s okay, right? I mean, evil princess!“ And the court says, „Oh! Evil princess! Why didn’t you say so? OK, then, not guilty! Carry-on.”

At the end of 26. The last sentence. Chess piece rhymes with wife. He said, “I don’t want, before the game is done, for my chess piece/wife to be taken.”

Dammit

Choice is a very tricky thing, but in Chinese tradition, he has lost all Taoist and Confucian honor. He was honor and oath bound and what he did is now a debt of blood.

Yes, I would defile the wife who had supported me first. What’s a whack in the head?

Ummm. There is such a thing as divorcing his wife. Or letting the whole family run away. But I guess letting her be raped and burying her alive is a much more humane idea.

Him calling her wife.

Do the teary-eyed moments lessen the horrific agreement to torture his father in law, and kill his brother in law? And to have his wife raped and humiliated? Before burying her alive, of course.

Does his guilty conscience lessen his crime of smashing a spade on our heroines head?

Lol glad you enjoyed my ummm observation 😆

A cai-ñu

The last line of Episode 26 (the most current one available). He was wordplaying with Qi (chess piece) and Qi Zi (wife). And she understood.

"I don't want, before the game has ended, for my QI to be taken." Bwahahaha. I keep replaying this part.

I really hope they don't write that into the drama. Too many coincidences already, up to her own courtyard with her name.

Yes, there are many. This was the most intimate one.

He gave her a whistle. "I cannot have my chi (word play on wife and chess piece) taken." WOOHOOhoohoohoo. This couple.

Then she is just returning the karma of swording Bai Fengxi! 😂

He just turned 22. Wu Lei had the same "kissblock" in his romance before 21. Just look at his kiss scenes in The Long Ballad with Dilireba. The age difference between the ML and FL might also play a part. WJN is 11 years older than him. It might not matter to Western viewers but the Chinese audience would certainly make a big topic out of it if there were sizzling tongue action. LOLOL. I still pray for it to happen, though. LOLOL

Wear my underwear, wipe with my hanky, and uh...blow my whistle....

I'm rewatching from beginning.
