I know we’re in for more shenanigans bc it’s a cdrama and the BTS but I know they will weather through it and am so excited to see it all come together (also nervous but). Theyre so soft!!
How did Tingyu know the monk? It felt like they were familiar with e/o.
Yw! If y’all remember one of their first convos after reuniting was her talking about how he had left politics and didn’t wanna be involved too much so was he ready for that life
I refuse to believe that yjx is their biological child probably picked him from the streets there is no way he…
LOL, the show does imply that they doted on him too much. Privilege is already a big deal, if you spoil the heck out of your kids, why would they do what you want. Alas it will be their downfall.
Im on episode 21, thinking I missed something... didn't the official ninth lady Fu died? her family did absolutely…
Filial Piety is the number one value back then (and even fora lot of modern families) so even if she's "dead", well she's not obvs so they can do whatever they want. the novel had a lot of back and forth between them before she was finally able to get the heck away from her dad/bro

That's Master Zhao from the beginning! The one who was really impressed by ZL and FTY during the investigation arc. He "retired" to get the heck out of politics once 16th Master became Emperor.
Everyone's recommending someone from their faction anyway. Emperor is not stupid, he knew what's at stake and…
!!! I was going to write my own comment but am going to piggy-back off this to say the issue with ZL isn't that he's unintelligent or making bad choices, rather he can't see the forest for the trees because he's focused on NOT getting on the emperor's bad side, after all neither FTY nor ZL would be here without the (at the time 16th master's) support. No matter what, he ultimately owes the emperor, so both are right in the long run, but FTY is seeing a little bit further (as she has more of a capacity for since she IS in the background moving around).
One of the main messages of the show (at least right now) is the focus on how important all the women ultimately were for any of the men to do well. Of course General Wang and Mo are great on their own terms, but what does that matter if their wives don't keep the rest of Ganlin functioning. Each person (as FTY eventually did) had their role there, and now they all have roles in the capital.
Tian Wanyi is important to the Wei family precisely because her father's connections allowed her husband to get promotions, but she unlike her mother in law was smart and knew that it would be guaranteed trouble if her husband moved up too many ranks too quickly. Relatedly the parties are for fun but also mega networking.
Early on in the show Madame Yan made choices for her daughters, but the work she was doing still ultimately was for her husband's sake (who clearly loved being corrupt as well).
ZL can't actually nominate anyone he really wants and that's why the moment from today's episode with Master Zhao was SO important.
When the couples are a team, they flourish (our leads of course), the Wangs, even Madam Mo and General Mo were on the same page at the end once it became clear how toxic Concubine Lu was, and it was clear General Mo DOES love his wife, he's just (like the other commenter said earlier), saying shit without realizing LOL.
The Yus right now are on the same page and it's obvs she's been supporting the hell out of him their whole marriage (AND remember, YJX is the only son in the entire Yu family so he's got a whole lot of expectations put on him). Unfortunately since he and Yake never got on the same page, it's over for them too.
