Zhou not gonna do anything about the marriage until Mu steps in being all toxic about it so he can be the asshole and one in the wrong lol. (She surely has a plan already and Mu just gonna look like a toxic idiot, surely right)
So a guess, man in black gonna be Qi Yunke cause he hates the demon sect for killing the aunt also her falling for one and he wants them to kill each other and betray each other till they are all gone. Just my guess for who it is rn (ep 18).
(ep 16) Classic have the advantage but wait for the bad guy plan to kick in to lose said advantage, all while yapping, the plan was to kill him just do it man wtf
It felt abrupt but not necessarily out of place. She already know he's not who he says he is. She's already "faked"…
I understand all of that, but he didnt really have to reveal his entire life story and real identity just like that is all im saying. He could have kept up his guard only giving bits and pieces but i guess he already smitten with her so he doesn't care.
Him revealing his real identity to her felt kinda random or out of place, like the writers just could not wait any longer and wanted to get it out of the way.
Since the very start of the drama everything we heard about Consort Shu has been pretty bad, only her interactions with Peiyi make her look like a "good" person. Everything else has been pretty much horror stories with multiple cases involving her servants.
