my two cents on the discussion of ML being a widow: i think it's pretty cool to have a character depicted with that kind of backstory + considering it was an arranged marriage, we don't know yet if he actually did love her. so depending on how the plot goes... hanyan's probably his first and last love
urgh, im so busy with work. but had to constantly checking the mdl if i was left too behind. what are the current…
(so good to see you in the comments again!!) i'm in the same boat lol work's been crazy 😔 ep 9 is airing soon but i've only gotten to ep 3 aaah hopefully we'll have time to catch up this weekend!
🔔: baby, the relationships between the women in are so well-written 🥲 the second sister got jealous over lord fu, but yanzi only blamed lord fu for it. the little girl got caught up in the fire and blamed herself, but said it’s not the teacher’s fault. yanzi’s mother is harsh with her, but she understands and even feels grateful for her mother’s ruthlessness, willing to sacrifice her own innocence to help her mother at a critical moment 🥲🥲🥲 🐰: because yanzi knows how hard it is for women to survive in that world.
