Yes, and ML warned her about that.

Hello again! I was watching episode 8 and a snippet of the song appeared at 19:58. It is so familiar but I cannot remember what drama it played in.

In episode 2 it starts aat 39:38.

Xie Xie and have a great day/night!

I don't know what you saw, but from what we know, he believes having a concubine is a betrayal of your wife.

She surely would have eventually because she already likes him but was really uber pissed off about the marriage decree because he took away her freedom and choice. The burial site situation defrosted her heart completely.

I am praying that they show his reaction to the realization he's brought her back to her childhood home!!!

"the wildflowers were swaying, the candles were flickering, and the embers were dancing, but the smoke from the incense was moving in only one direction - straight up. in traditional beliefs, this means that the souls of the people you are burning incense for hear your words."

You brought tears to my eyes with this!!! Xie Xie!!!!

As I've said before, I think she's been thawing for a while, but as you also said, she's stubborn AF. But she also put her life on the line to find and save him when he was injured, which you don't do for someone you don't care for, and I also think learning he helped the crown prince escape helped her see him a bit differently and in a slightly better light. I loved how she gasped his name after reading the evidence as if to say, JQ, you are a bad, bad boy!!! :)

But with the burial news, she's now all in and that little speech he gave about his character was so romantic and heartfelt.

I haven't rewatched any of the episodes, but I think I will definitely rewatch 38 Thursday morning.

I like your take a lot and hope that is what it is.

I think that, marriage decree aside, he has always trusted her and respected her intelligence. But seeing her burn that evidence the ex-wife gave her enabled him to share this HUGE burial secret with her, and I love that. Also his speech about the kind of man he is and that he will never fail her? Swoonworthy!!!

She's giving him the cold shoulder because of the marriage decree. They got along really well when she was his maid and when he visited her after she became free.

Yes!!! Glad I didn't read the novel.

You guys are so disciplined! I ALWAYS buy the express.

I'm so sad. Could have done with 60 episodes!!!

But please remember that the Shen and Lin families faced the same fate and it is the Shen grandfather's "high ground" that led her family's demise. The Lin grandpa prioritized his family above pride.

Seriously. Those who cry easily when watching dramas will need yards and yards of tissue!!!

I could never hate him even with the marriage decree. And I love so much that he considers taking a concubine a betrayal when you have a wife you love and who loves you!!! I feel confident that if Lanxiang never gave birth he would still never sleep with another woman.

I was smiling with joy but I did cry a tiny bit about taking over the household duties and that warning to the servants. #GirlPower!!!

I love this drama so much!!!

Absolutely. Nobody, including him, would have blamed her for going back to the retreat house or their home to try to stay safe with the rest of the family but she put her own life on the line to find him and then to keep him alive. That's love. And she also admitted to him that she'd never harbored romantic feelings for Scholar Han, which she also didn't have to do.

I agree and have said in other posts that she's been clearly defrosting.

I will look for it today when I tune in. Thanks!
