XiuW should not be forced to get married.did she really give herself to CuiQue ' brother? Stupid girl. served…
She cannot get married even if she wanted to. She ruined her reputation by being with Du Zheng (doesn’t matter if they didn’t go all the way, just kissing and fooling around counts). No respectable nobleman will want her once the rumor gets out.
Besides intelligence, XLX is also beautiful. That could be the reason to choose XLX over YC
Yuchan is beautiful too. There are other reasons besides this. In addition to her natural charm, Lanxiang has a special bearing, demeanor, and intellect due to her being raised as a noble that makes her stand out. Yet, she’s so humble and modest. It really makes her beautiful inside and out. It makes her stand out as exceptional even though Yuchan is outstanding too. Lanxiang is more so.
ML has feelings for XLX because she is intelligent and resourceful but not towards Yuchan who has been with family…
I get exactly where you’re coming from. I initially thought that Yuchan might’ve have been his woman since he asked about her first thing in ep 2 upon returning from the army. But, it seems they only ever had a professional relationship.
I’m like you—why’d he fall for Lanxiang but not Yuchan? My observation—While Yuchan is sharp, Lanxiang is sharper. Remember how she bluffed with the Marquis to get him to read the letter. Lanxiang’s intellect surpasses Yuchan’s in a way the really astounds everyone. It makes sense that Jinqi would take notice of her in a special way.
Lanxiang also has the advantage of having been raised as a noblewoman. This subtly makes her shine in a way that Yuchan cannot. Jinqi can discern that something about Lanxiang is different and special. He just can’t explain why. For all of her mystique, and intelligence, and gentle manners, he’s drawn to her like no one else.
The Du brother watching the ML with a look of betrayal after that arrow as if he wasn't just trying to kill him.…
I definitely wanted to see Jinqi confront Du about Second Young Lady, grab him around the collar, and beat him up a little. But, that didn’t happen. Jinqi was only saddened at the loss of someone whom he had mistakenly thought was a good friend. I felt sad for Jinqi over the betrayal.
I enjoyed them. The scene with Second Young Lady and her mother was a bit dragged, as well as, the Xu family’s search for a new home. But, I loved hearing Jinqi cryptically allude to his future with Lanxiang and seeing him worried about the new guy in her life. A great watch overall. I wish they would drop four episodes at a time instead of two.
