I see your point now. Perhaps, reckless, overzealous maverick, unrestrained, upright yet morally ambiguous

How is LJL deranged? As a magistrate, he’s cunning and arrogant, overzealous but with good intentions, determined to root out corruption and wrongdoing. He doesn’t seem deranged at all.

I need to rewatch ep 2 to remember the details of that case. That seems to be the linchpin.

She thinks that she is keeping him safe by withholding this information. But, admittedly, it was a pretty dumb move—odd for someone as smart as she is. Makes her look like she had something to hide. How will he trust her now?

Ep 12–Wow, just wow. 😮 This drama is a solid 10 for me. Never a dull moment. Twists galore. Insane chemistry. A visual feast. Checks all my boxes.

💯😏😄🔥

The tea fields are so beautiful.

beautiful explanation

‘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.
