They're always apologizing. She wants to leave, and they're asking her to stay. Bored 😒

I thought the same

😂

I'm scared to watch episode 26…. 🫣

Loved it a lot. Very interesting cases and then all those twists in them personal lifes. Very fresh indeed. 100% recommendable.

And I found myself speeding last episode on the Tian’s reunion part as I couldn't care less. I just want to see that whole family (including the daughter) humiliated once and for all 🗡️⚔️🤺🔪😤

Yes, he is ubiquitous

Ahhh then you should have pointed out the quotation 😅

Sorry. I don't understand any of your cryptic message. Anyway, you didn't understand a damn thing I said either. Get a grip.

It suffers from a lack of cohesion, as if the screenwriter suddenly came up with ideas trying to create a great story, but it's actually a bit laughable.

That one “immortal” that saved his lame father from the fire

Grandpa - out
Grandma - almost out
Uncle - almost out
Cousin - almost out
and all of that in less than 10 minutes 🤣

Very predictable: grandfather and granddaughter talking about the other grandfather and bang! the other grandfather dies 😎

Yes, he probably stoically faced that horde of barbarians, feeling proud of himself.

Aye! I would have liked the screenwriters to have delved a little deeper into that friendship that went from political allies to a friendship between two men in love with the same woman, which is really difficult.

Maybe is Yan Yun writing 😂 (joking)

Of course his death had a big impact in the drama, otherwise, we wouldn't be talking about him right now. For me, he's the character who defines this drama. I missed him in every episode he wasn't in, and I hated Xue for trying to enter a wounded heart that he had already given unconditionally.

he spends much of the story being misunderstood, controlled, or underestimated. So even though he doesn’t get a peaceful or happy ending, there’s still a form of personal victory in proving he was more loyal, capable, and human than his father believed.

I think too he was a very interesting and profound character. A complicated and tortured man that transmited a lot.

narratively speaking, Ye Xian was written as a tragic character from very early on. His ending didn’t feel like it was there just for shock value, but rather to bring closure to several of the series’ core themes: the consequences of ambition, emotional sacrifice, broken loyalties, and the impossibility of escaping the fate he helped create himself.

His death also gave more emotional weight to the protagonists’ ending. If everyone had gotten a happy ending, the story would’ve lost some of the bittersweet, mature tone that the series carried almost all the way through.

And honestly, the key point is that Ye Xian never truly found peace or full redemption. The script kept slowly pushing him toward an inevitable ending. As viewers, we almost feel like his fate had been written long before it actually happened.

I loved every character, even the ones who were absolutely unbearable at times. This series was brilliantly acted from the first actor to the last; the story was well written; the intimate scenes were handled naturally without feeling prudish; and the friendship, rivalry, family bonds, and romantic love were all really well developed. The production quality was excellent too.

Maybe the ending deserved a little more about the protagonists’ future together, but maybe — and I say maybe because I’d personally love for it to happen — we’ll get a special episode someday.

As for Ye Xian’s sad ending, it felt like a foregone conclusion, basically a  chronicle of a death foretold type of tragedy from the very start.
