battleaxe

yes she is traumatized and needy and wants to be loved that much is clear. but she is also intelligent, determined, she knows right from wrong, comes from a place where she had to fight all the time to survive and she can hold a grudge, enough to kill. put all those into a blender and add on the fact that she just met these people, and her unconditional love should be a bit more conditional

its her mother she wants to save bc she apparently has unconditional love for the woman she just met few months ago, and mummy dearest is her bottom line 🙄. why? cos the scriptwriter is trifling

yea her family don't give af about her, none of them have spared her a single thought beyond the obvious since she got back

i'm watching her strangle the concubine in ep 10 and you know what? she really should have put hands on that woman since the ist ep. it is loooonng overdue

I skipped to the end and hm yes if you wanted to skip this one, you won't be missing out on anything rest assured

oh so they're not blood siblings, that part at least makes sense

so this girl couldn't think of one thing to tell her brother that would confirm her identity? smh

I would put maybe a tiny part of it on the actors but I think its more the directing and the writing bc their characters are both flat in the exact same way. like the main leads from rise of ning

that yuchi kid was never gonna be passing any future exams anyway lmao he dumb ah

i liked this one, would recommend. bonus points for the strict fl

the dad wants the fl to be the successor wife. he casually mentioned it to her as 'gossip' but no its what he wants

I remember her as the evil 2fl in Dance of the Phoenix, she's actually a really quite competent actress I too hope she gets more opportunities

lol complain away sister! have a great weekend!

the mum lost the power to manage the household bc she foolishly tried to come for her husband in public knowing full well he had the upper hand, fair game. instead of just following the fl's arrangement. all that arrogance and she's not even that smart smh

love cannot be hidden beneath layers of cruelty father release your people

yea I get hanyan that's her mummy eitherway, and she's still quite young. but leave me out of that forgiveness pls 🤣

I don't think she hates her daughter either. but whatever it may be, her first choice was cruelty, and that says everything one needs to know about her despite the drama's attempts at making her multifaceted. also I didn't like that the drama superseded her pov over hanyan's, who is the owner of the story. but like the commenter above said, apologist propaganda🤷

its always been at the back of my mind that its some kind of propaganda so now that you've said it and i've seen it i'll just unlook and stop wasting my energy lmao

like she could just leave her alone, be kind to her then marry her off within a year. blimey its the same result with absolutely no hardship

people really saw this woman beating, starving and imprisoning her daughter and concluded that she was trying to protect her🤯. I really dg why there seems to be so much sympathy for the mum, the drama itself is practically overflowing with it despite her very cruel actions
