I have to agree with Rtconnect regarding Li Wenkan. FCY made the best decision for the soldiers by knocking Li Wenkan out and taking over. She showed actual leadership. With him being so wounded, he would more than likely have gotten more people killed, and they could have potentially lost the battle. As a leader, you need to know when to make a decision for the greater good. He is better at strategy than at actual fighting. If he were a true leader, he would have assessed his injuries and known it would be better not to blindly go on and use his soldiers, including FCY, in a better capacity. Instead, he just wanted to fight and die for "honor" without actually thinking things through.

I think we are all waiting for the chance to just give them our money...

I have no self control.

I think a slap counter is in order.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Nothing like these clips to get me motivated to learn another language. 😉

For real! I know I can't wait for the slap heard around the world tomorrow!!

I'm not sure how all that is going to go down (also haven't read the book yet), so this is just my preliminary assessment. I don't think she knows he is a prince (not like they have name cards/relationship charts hanging around). I agree it is not a great choice, but she is also not working on the full info.

I would be surprised if they didn't. They probably won't be available for a bit, though.

It will be the slap heard (and applauded) around the world.

It's not so much being dumb as not having enough information to make a better decision. She is in the dark about a lot of things, so she can only do so much with the info she has. I lay this predominantly at Xie Zheng's feet.

While I'm not a fan of his keeping his identity hidden this long, this is probably a big factor in why he is dragging his feet. He knows that once she knows, there will probably be some differences because he is not just some random guy. So I can give him a bit of slack for that. Poor dude doesn't have much love in his life.

I've seen a few of these, and they are adorable! I need stickers.

I was going to rewatch during this episode famine, but this right here is holding me back. I don't know that I can watch them like that right now.

Not soon enough! Wowsers, I'm going to need a fan to watch these upcoming episodes. 🥵🪭

I lay that action (trading prisoner for food) and the other things in the previews at Xie Zheng's feet, since he hasn't deigned to enlighten her about who he is and what is going on. She is far from stupid, but give the girl some info to make better choices.

One thing I really love about this show is how it has brought us together as a community and fostered great conversations. ☺️

This is exactly what I thought (that he didn't really know her) when he made the comment about her staying at home waiting.

I agree with you! I have no issue with the separation (that is more realistic, to be honest), but the lying about the identity for this long is what annoys me.

Other shows didn't get it wrong, per se, but it is somewhat different. In the military, while the generals would eat better than foot soldiers, they still wouldn't eat as well as they would back home. If they are in a food scarcity situation, they will eat similar food to the foot soldiers. But military food is not the same as food that you would eat back home. So, unless the general is straight up talking with his soldiers, asking what they eat in their small villages, he would never know how poorly they eat at home.

When he made that comment, I wondered if he ever really knew her.
