‘If you want me to continue working my heart out for you, you know what I want, girl.’ 🙊🙊🙊😏😏😏🔥🔥🔥 Quite the hard-bargainer.

💯 he really does

This drama is pretty heartbreaking.

In rewatching, I now see that old Madam Rong was still deliberating on whether or not to eliminate Yang and He. The decision wasn’t final at the end of ep 8. Apparently, she decided to keep them due to their long family histories, given Yang was at the Tea Ceremony (that final selection ceremony).

I thought in ep 8 that Mr. He and Mr. Yang were eliminated as suitors due to their underhanded tactics. So, how was Yang even still in the running during the selection ceremony? I need to rewatch.

Cousin Wen resembles Chen Zhe Yuan at times.

Yang has leverage to force her, something related to her mentally-impaired sister that Shanbao doesn’t want revealed apparently

Rong

OMG yes

Yes. 😩Brace yourself.

very true

Yes, I recall his pretending here and there, but I chalked it up to childish antics, not anything sinister worth taking seriously. But, now, it’s clear that he too doesn’t have an upright heart.

I was surprised too and disappointed to see that subtle sinister look flash across Wen’s face. I had thought that he was pure innocence! 😲

The quality of vertical dramas is really increasing. The industry is going to start producing more of them, the next big trend in dramas, I heard. So, their quality is likely to keep getting better and better. I keep singing the praises of “Midsummer’s Vendela (Summer Rose)” every chance I get. That drama really turned my opinion around regarding vertical dramas, which have a notoriously cheesy, sleezy style (even though I like those ones too sometimes—my guilty pleasure 🙈😏🙊).

Yesss, this was a great scene which mirrors the funny scene in ep5 where he held out his hand to RSB after getting beat up during the theft accusation. She almosts grabs it, but gets distracted and leaves him hanging. 😂

True, he was hilarious but awful too.

Flourished Peony, Marry My Husband, Love Is Sweet, I Need Romance 3–troublesome 2ML who I kinda hated. But the Love Is Sweet 2ML might not qualify because I actually kinda shipped him.
