tan yin is very no nonsense and direct, i like that in a fl

good first ep. very intriguing

🤣 I came here to see if someone else saw that. like what was happening there? they even had the same haircut and outfits and mannerisms

she's too slow for that smart and ruthless man. girl he finna kill you sit up!

the way she feels towards her mother has so far not been conditional, she has repeatedly stated that the woman is her bottom line, always. the ml even asked her what she would do if she had to choose between chai jing who literally got tortured and 'died' for her and is arguably her closest relative, and a woman whose only ties to her is birthing her 17 yrs ago and with chai jing's life on the line, she could not answer that question. the way she was patiently enduring under her mother's torture? that woman would kill her and the girl will die with a smile on her face. and yes her mother has suffered and is abused and traumatized, but none of that is the fl's fault, and none of that is an excuse to treat her so cruelly and the fl is also smart enough to see that bc she said at some point that she is not a 'filial fool.' which is why i blame the writer, they tried to appeal to everyone hence all the contradictions that just make her character half hearted, and to borrow someone else's word insincere.

men will literally marry their enemies

just how many women is he sleeping with at once omg? everyone needs to get tested

I watched three eps and I came here to see if it has a romance tag before I continue, glad it doesn't bc bro...

well the dad stopped fidgeting and blinking rapidly, guess its time to abandon the act

I said a similar thing already in another comment but i'll reply to this one too. yes you are correct, her desperation to be loved and protected is a natural product of all her trauma, except they've told us and shown us that's not all she is. someone who is only craving parental love would never have survived up until this point. they showed us her trauma and told us she is more, it is only right to expect more than trauma effects, heroic suffering.

yeah like what is she doing there? 😭 she can establish her own residence and then go visit if its that deep? if it was just obsession borne out of trauma that is driving her actions then that is fine, but her love seems to be the automatic mother child type and that is the problem. I really balk at that idea of automatic love like why is that just a given? between two adult women with complicated traumatic pasts at that? especially when one side has repeatedly acted otherwise?

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
