i'm in love with how XFF argued against the false accusations by blowing up their statements to a hyperbolic level lol it really showed everyone just how ridiculous magistrate xue's alleged "corruption" is compared to feng yutang's actual crimes. she was like oh you wanna talk crazy? i'll show you REAL crazy
I gotta be honest here, Wu Jin Yan has completely blown me away with the latest episodes. She's got this way of…
yesss i heard she took some time off to learn and refine her acting in theatre plays. that might be why she's so great at delivering her lines with all those microexpressions! she knows how to embody the character and the script ✨

I may not excel at anything else, but I have steady hands and steady feet. Today, I stand firm right here." so poetic!!!
