Good points, but heads of states should not quickly leap into War. Trade the lives of your own people for an uncertain victory in Xindu? There is no guarantee that Bianzhou would have stayed on the sidelines. Yanzhou doesn't have good generals and the son and uncle weren't so hot as leaders. Spain stayed on the sidelines in WWII despite having an agreement to help Hitler. Does that make Franco selfish or careful about spending the blood of his citizens. Compare him to Mussolini and Italy. just my two cents worth. I would say that Wei leaders are short sighted. They resent the wrong party.

Good points, but he lets his emotions cloud his head.

Episode 7 at 40:55 " You must be like your brother. In valor and strategy neither your father nor I, can compare to him. "
Well, it doesn't come out and say that he is better than his brother, but he hasn't really disproved it yet.

Xiao Qiao understands that Wei Shou burns with the thought of Qiao's Grandfather not coming to the Wei family at Xindu. He wishes to punish the Qiao Family. Xiao's is committed to ensuring that Wei Shou doesn't harm her beloved Yanzhou and the Qiao Family. She didn't intent to harm Wei Shou nor the Wei state. She believes that the two states are stronger working together. I believe it was his Grandfather that said that he wasn't as smart as his brother.

I think that there are better ways to show dominance besides throat grabbing. I prefer persuasion or even manipulation to intimidation. But honey does work better than vinegar.

Good point, but had he married her in Xindu, he could have gotten food from Panyi and not fought a battle to take Panyi. Focusing on a small tree while ignoring the forest. Visionary NOT is he.

Ha ha. ha I can understand, but 1the premise is different. So only have to worry which beloved side character might die.

Granny hopes for peace (between the two countries) and Xiao Qiao offers the best road to that.

Fan and Yanzhou are lucky to have him. And he seems to be blessed with Fan and a far seeing sister-in-law.

Good point. But her goals are not to the detriment of his beloved Wei. Were he as smart as his Brother or better yet Xiao Qiao, he might have the same goals as her.

Good points. But Wei Shao should remember that the sword that killed his Grandfather, Father and Brother, that attacked Xindu was wielded by Bianzhou's Li Su. That Yanzhou and the Qiaos did not, and have never attacked Wei, They have even hesitated to send troops to aid Boya. Yanzhou lacks a competent General. Then and now. And lacks a competent leader with the Qiao Grandfather's death. In Xiao Qiao's case, good intentions do not necessarily pave a road to hell. Wei Shao truly lacks the vision and thinking of Xiao Qiaao.

Wouldn't mind seeing Rain Lu here. lol

Sorry the ep. 3 comments are wrong. The pictures are of her and the jerk guy.

The ep. 3 comments are wrong. The pictures are of her and the jerk guy.

During alliance meal, notice that it was the Wei state Grandfather who says that whoever attacks Yanzhou will be We's enemy. The Qiao Grandfather shows concern with his raised eyebrows. The Wei leader ends it with saying the Qiao and Wei will live and die together. The Qiao leader replies "as will we. " That was a conditional promise that one side assumed to be in agreement and the other hoped would not occur. I suspect that Yanzhou although large, is not strong militarily.

Ep. 4 4:06 During the standoff between two armed groups, the fiance says that after Xiandu fell he took refuge with the Qiaos for five years. Says that they were the happiest years of his life. (because he was with the FL?) Returned to Liangya at the end of the five years.

The other Muzili was somehow able to move to the FL's world so they got together. Never mind that he s supposed to be dead on this world. The very last scene was on the second world. There that world's FL loved the 2ML as seen in ep.3 where the FL scrolls thru that world's FL's phone and discovers pics of them together. It is hinted that the 2ML in the original world was gay.

Ep. 3 the FL is scrolling thru the other Daqian's phone and discovers that she and the 2ML had been dating. So the last scene is at the other world where they get married. On the original world, it is hinted that although besties with the FL, the 2ML is gay.

Good points. I thought someone said that the guy who came to the house was a subordinate of the Commandant.

I had to re[watch to clarify some points. And I realize I made some mistakes. Look at ep. 1 at 39:00. The Central Plains has five states. Wei State, Yanzhou, Bianzhou and Liangya. The Qiao clan are part of the Yanzhou and the Grandfather was Governor of Yanzhou. He and the Wei Grandfather of the Wei state made a promise to help each other. The Wei Grandfather said that it would include in times of war. 14 years ago Bianzhou state sent Li Su to attack the Wei city of Xiandu to seize it and also to break the alliance between Wei and Yanzhou. At the time of the attack, Qiao Grandfather dithered as he was reluctant to enter a war with Bianzhou. Xiandu fell and the Wei royal males were caught in the city. 14 years later, Linggya state proposed a marriage with Qiao Manman (FL) by sending a weasel instead of a more valuable lynx, the Liangya leader? (intended groom's Uncle) showed that they looked down on Yanzhou. The groom and Manman were childhood friends but she distrusts his ambitions. Manman's older sister Fan was supposed to wed Wei Shao, but Manman realized that she was not intelligent enough to survive and navigate the daunting steps to allay Wei Shou's thirst for revenge and thread an alliance between Wei and Yanzhou.
So I was wrong, there is no Qiao state.
Took a bit of time searching for the ep. 1 bit on the Central Plains States.
