oh gawd. They went there. The stupid girl who runs off to the battlefield and doesn't care that she's a burden, or that she's putting her target's life at risk from her powerful uncle. I just can't. If I skip an ep or two will this part be over?

Also, are we supposed to be understanding of what Di Lin did with the Palace Guards? The rejuvenated Lord is pretty much as dark as the villain they all conspired to get rid of. In the process, Di Lin became rather monstrous. He'll do anything to anybody, except his 3 favorite people? What kind of ethic is that? I find him chilling. If I were Xiu, I'd definitely be wary of him.

Late getting to this, but by ep 16, I'm far more interested in the brotherhood and the Si Yiling and North Clan Princess relationship than I am in whatever is supposed to be [not] happening with Xiu and Ning. Every one of their scenes feels like pointless filler. There is nothing interesting about her character and she seems to only exist in order to move some of his plot along. Would love to see a version without her scenes. I don't think the story would suffer at all.

I'd really like to see more of her!

How does everyone know except him?

exactly.

Ok. The drama lost me. Ep 37.

Two women, in a wholly patriarchal world, with zero power and cutting ties with the people who could help them, are going to seek vengeance.

I love me some strong female characters. But no unrealistically stupid ones. Too bad.

but, but, someone asked Grok!

Not that this was the most sophisticated drama, but the story has been well done enough. However, this little twist of her rejecting him ep 35 seems really forced by the writers. Investigating cases is what he does and he's going to pursue it, regardless of her choices.

Also, denying that there are genuine feelings is just eye-rolling. I feel nothing of her self-inflicted angst. It's just stupid. Skipping all scenes related to any "heartache" over this.

Why do writers always opt for the patronizing arcs in character development. He didn't want to tell her the truth while she had amnesia? Why not? She's strong and she wouldn't have had feelings about it, since she didn't remember anyway. And she could have been more of an ally in the search for truth.

Now, she's going to tell herself she needs to pursue things without him? Why? He's her best chance at getting to answers. He's not weak and useless, either.

It doesn't fit their characters, as they are expressed in most of the other scenarios.

I hope she gets over this in, like, 5 seconds. I can't enjoy this bs.

Right?! Very little need to pay a lot attention to the screen.

omg, this is such drivel. lol

FL's assistant is spraying pesticide inside a residence. FL is sitting next to her and they're chatting, with NO protective gear on, while she pumps out those toxic chemicals.

At every turn, they couldn't be bothered to make things at all realistic. From the very beginning where she is pushed into the water and her body has zero instinctual response to try and get to the surface. He pushed her on the torso. She wasn't hit over the head. There is no reason for her to just go limp and sink.

The only thing they got right is capitalism is game where the cheaters win.

Somehow, though, I'm entertained. Something to knit to.

It's very disturbing how audiences claim that scenes which are medical - mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, removing poison, tending wounds - are sexual.

you don't seem to understand the difference between expressing an opinion - I like this drama - vs being offensive to someone who has a different opinion - "you're biased" "other, broad-minded...." (insinuating that the person you decided you just had to engage with is narrow-minded.)

You do realize that you could have just scrolled on by and let someone else's opinion simply exist?

wait. what? why did they have the images of her on the boat with the panther, then?
it's not clear that a human could survive in the Carefree Land. So, ok. But, that image made a strong suggestion and kept waiting to see that scene. oh well.

Li Xian is an absolutely delightful character.

that was just a whole lot of gratuitous violence without a story.

Is it just me? It's so unrealistic that the FL and her biz partner can develop 3D printing of prosthetics in just a few months, when:

No one on the team is a medical specialist
None of them have any background in 3D printing or prosthetics.
They have no subjects for whom they can test the custom fit; or any fit, at all, for that matter.

It is not an idea that no one else has come up with. What makes anything they are doing innovative? Or, why are they able to execute it, with no background or resources, when others haven't?

I want to like the story, but, as an old school computer programmer and someone with an MBA, the business scenes are absolutely unwatchable. Though I do like all the actors.

Yu En Tai is definitely one the more chilling villains I've seen. From the beginning, even when we didn't know anything, he just felt creepy. I hope he's having fun doing it. I need to go see him in something else, where is character is normal, to get the ick out of my bones, when I see his face.

I keep thinking that, if she's not careful, she can be just like her dad. That cold glare, how automatically she generates complicated schemes, and no concern for risk.

No one is saying that this is the alternative to not belittling her for not pursuing the beauty standard,

You really can't see the difference between, "we absolutely support you being you" and the sister's constant belittling of her? I am one of three sisters. We all have different personalities and priorities. Our parents tried to box us into roles, but we ended up refusing those. Because, "roles" are a way for children to compare themselves to one another in a detrimental way. It's a well-known abuse tactic in family psychology.

I'm now a parent. My daughter is not at all interested in any beauty standard. Yay for her! She has other interests and shines in other ways and I am 100% supportive of her and adore her for who she is.

So, look back at what I wrote and ask yourself why you're willfully misinterpreting what I'm writing.

I'm not tying self-worth to appearance, at all. I'm asserting, based on actual experience and study of family psychology, that the constant comparison, the sister's arrogance toward the FL and what is clearly a lifetime of lording her superior beauty over sister is very psychologically damaging. Its not what a loving family member would ever do.

Legitimate criticism about a family member's behavior or choices, which are either harm to themselves or others is one thing. "criticism" about not being pretty enough is not criticism. It's buying into the idea of beauty privilege and then punching down.
