Such an unnecessary scene. They could just have followed the novel here, where ML berates her personally. Because actually even if I understand that they want to show how FL should understand military rules, the next thing she does after receiving her punishment, is drugging her husband and taking his place in the war, so clearly the punishment didn't teach her anything.

This exactly, he was such a sweet baby to Changyu in the initial episodes. But he was really not like this in the novel. Since the first chapter, Xie Zheng was never a "nice sweet poor guy". He was really arrogant and dominant. That is why the forced kiss in the novel was also believable. I saw people saying how he could have the dam burst idea, it would kill innocents? I mean ML was a scheming, calculative general, he cares about results not about collateral damage.
But yes he did truly love FL and changed his character a little but only in front of her, though I think it was minimum change, he never had a drastic transition in love.
I even remember he said to FL, till he is alive, she will never bore anyone else's child. When they were separated, he even had thought that if not in life, maybe in death they could share a grave, hence even thought of ending his life with FL. So he was never a sweet green flag coded guy.
I have no problem with them softening him, because these days complicated MLs are hated by audience, but then as you said his real personality is being altered in every episode due to this.

😅😊😊

Hahaha

It should be chapter 118.

Yes based on the previews, the identity reveal of ML in front of FL happens; starts in the end of ep 26 and continues in 27 to show the aftermath. High chances the episode tomorrow will end in a cliffhanger.

No he was right there. He even shouted when she brought her knife out, he thought she would kill him. Why would he suddenly leave that place when Changyu is there. The entire sequence was a little riddiculous. Even his personal guard could have said without the Marquis's order we cannot let you take him away. When ML heard he could have stopped it earlier as well, but he and the counsellor enjoyed the drama. Maybe ML realized later that the idea was not as such bad, but because she did something huge unathorized hence going by the military rules there should be a punishment. This is what I understood.

Yes it doesn't happen in 29 either based on the preview. So my guess is maybe 31-33. In the novel it was just for 2 weeks so, short breakup.

Its not their lack of security. Its because they did not want to stop Marquis's wife I guess, or they did not have the authority to stop her.

108 lashes happen first. Then the drunk kiss. Next day of the drunken kiss, they makeup. This is according to the novel.
Yes after this they stay together. So from 33 onwards we have no stress about their separation, if they go by the novel.

He is not paid enough to do this. Wdym he has to lead soldiers, fight against enemies, listen and execute orders, train and practice, and now even perform a live act for his boss. Not only this the poor guy also ran out of the script, and started asking what should he do. Lol.

This kiss is after the second breakup. Like they kiss when she is drunk. When she gets sober, they makeup.

1 episode regularly is diabolical but I am still not screaming. But ep 26 and 27 should have been released together. I will be screaming tomorrow.

hahaha! But its a conservative society, so maybe. There are so many times I see better kiss scenes in reuters, than in the drama. So I was following reuters of Lament of Autumn since the last few months which has Cheng Lei, and last week there was a kiss scene in the neck and lips, and it was so hot and it went viral. And everyone is like see it now, because it will not pass censorship lol. I mean why, just allow it, at least do it for the streaming sites if not television.

Yes agreed. I made a joke few days back that some directors really have their ways in the censorship bureau. How Dare You, had pretty kissing scenes, in reuters, but they added curtains to it, I mean? It was just kissing. Here, for Qi Min and Qian Qian they added that hot bathtub scene without curtains. Few intimate scenes previews have been released for the main couple as well. So hopefully we are getting it here. But its really confusing how and why few are allowed.

Yes.

According to the preview, they have kept it in the drama as well.

Yes yes. They should keep it. Lol

Hoping for that.

It would have been excellent. Its such a missed opportunity.
