Wow, what episodes were those (28-29)?! Simply incredible! So many layers and nuances that it was impossible not to feel a wave of emotions throughout each scene. At certain moments, I felt that flutter in my stomach, got deeply emotional, laughed, and even cried. It's hard to point out which scenes were the most impactful because all of them played an important role and carried such weight in the direction the story is heading toward in this final stretch.
Do you think Su E Huang will still try to undermine their relationship? Her initial plan was clearly to destabilize the bond between Shao and Manman, thereby weakening or breaking the Wei-Qiao alliance. But that didn’t work — on the contrary, over time, their communication has only improved. My hypothesis is that now she will shift to a more political and aggressive strategy. Perhaps she will try to interfere directly in state affairs, seeking an alliance with Liu Yan. I imagine this could involve Bianzhou (which would directly affect Wei Yan) and Yanzhou (linked to the Qiao family), which would inevitably bring Bi Zhi and Ah Fan into the center of the conflict, possibly leading to a war. These are just speculations since I haven’t read the novel, so I’m not exactly sure what will happen next.
Wei Shao shows a deep sense of filial piety toward his family and toward Su E Huang, especially because of his late brother’s final request. This sense of duty is deeply rooted in his mind and shapes many of his actions. What’s interesting, however, is that while Wei Shao senses something is off about Su E Huang, he can’t quite pinpoint what it is — or, as I like to think, he doesn’t fully understand what her true intentions are. The way he looks at her and the way he speaks to her reveal a certain level of distrust. Still, it’s possible that his strong filial devotion is clouding his ability to act with more clarity and decisiveness in this situation.
The dynamic between Wei Shao and Wei Yan is truly beautiful. Even after the revelation of Wei Yan’s feelings, I believe Shao would still treat him the same way. There’s a genuine sense of respect and affection between them. The scene where they argue and end up fighting was particularly intense — their performances were powerful and full of raw emotion.
