Agreed, she’s her worst enemy & her stupidity keeps coming lol.

Agreed, no one is perfect but Yake thinks she is all that by banking on the Yu’s family status to make herself feel good. I can’t believe that Yake has the audacity to let her maid mock FTY, I was like biatch you don’t know your place do you?

Not only she is not learning from her mistakes but she keeps trying to scheme against FTY.

Well said.

Do you mean the chastity arch? My understanding is that during the Ming dynasty, young women that become widow are sometimes sacrificed by their families to remain unmarried ( I.e remain chaste). With that, these families would receive financial benefits from the emperor such as tax exemptions, giving their families name a good status & emperor would allow them to build these arches on their land. You could see in the drama that Madame Zuo was used by the grandma Fu to remain chaste in exchange of money but she just suffered loneliness, hardship.

I hope not. I can’t stand her.

Thank you 🙏.

In the novel, papa Yu was convicted of corruption in the sale of horses so he was stripped of his title and exiled as a commoner but died on his way there. YJX was convicted of having an affair with a married woman and for having been involved in the murder of her husband. Given that YJX has killed someone, he should have been executed. However, ZL asked the emperor to let YJX stay alive, stripped of all titles & exiled as a commoner. One of ZL’s subordinate asked ZL the reason why he intervened instead of executing him, ZL responded that YJX would suffer even more being alive with nothing ( his family has fallen as well) left.

We just have to be patient. In the novel, they have 1 girl, 3 boys and a happy marriage. YTX has army of concubines, gosh I hate that idea when men can do whatever they want & Yake has a sickly daughter. Yake is just bitter, jealous & was no use for the Yu family. Mama Yu said in some of the chapters that she wish FTY would marry YJX instead. Karma is a biatch lol.

Here is the video at 2.41 min mark, FTY walking off

The raining scene at the end where ZL came to pick FTY up at the Yu mansion was beautiful. I may be imagining but saw a short footage of FTY being upset with ZL & walked off the scene 😭.

I forgot about that detail, thank you.

I thought it was 1 episode from Monday to Wednesday, then 2 from Thursday ?

FYK is just bitter, jealous with no common sense to elevate the Yu’s family status. In the novel, she has a little girl & as you know the Yu’s family prefers boys as they will take over the family’s prestige. So YK having only one girl will not give her any advantages in the Yu family, hence the scumbag YJX has an army of concubines 😜.

Like ZL said in the novel, it’s harder for YJX be alive & suffer with the fall of his family (stripped of their wealth, titles to become just commoners) all than die. For Asians, it’s the worst outcome in life.

I haven’t read all the novel but I think she is one of many concubines that scumbag Jing Xiu had. She was pregnant of his child & had a miscarriage due to him. FYK has always been jealous of her & another concubine who was pregnant with him. With the help of FTY, concubine Wu was released by the Yu family so she could go back to her family.

I think the Yu family may be the main villains using their power in court to carry out corruption, crimes, bad deeds to ZL & FTY. Both FTY & ZL will need to build all evidences, allies & resources to get rid of the Yu family. I’m just wondering why FTY said to Madame Yu that she already set the 4 evidences against their family a while. I hope that FTY is playing them by burning the copies of evidences, let them off guards & strike them. Their fall will be at the end just like in the novel?

Yu JingXiu will be accused of having an affair with a married woman, killed her husband. He should have been executed but ZL asked the emperor to let him live so he could see through the suffering that he inflicted on others. He was stripped of his titles & exiled as a commoner.

In the novel, papa Yu will be accused of corruption related to horses sale, stripped of his titles & exiled but died on the way.

Lmaooo but I concur.
