I will respectfully disagree with you labeling FL as frigid. She has her reasons and while said reasons may not…
I don’t that they have been married a whole year. It’s been a few months. LOL her sister in law is still pregnant. When they got married the sister in law was pregnant and she just started showing.
I think that ML is depicted as someone who is very disciplined. He is literally the head of his family and he doesn’t have any vices. He is very orderly and just wants an orderly household. He does his duty and was going to do it on his wedding night her because he remembered his promise to her sister. She obviously didn’t want to. He isn’t going to force her. As he slowly got to know her and fall in love with her he is willing to wait until she is ready.
They have started to be more comfortable with each other and shared a kiss which she reciprocated before their huge misunderstanding. I don’t think that the lead is frigid either. I think that she’s young and experienced and doesn’t even understand fully how she really feels about the ML.
Since their misunderstanding the FL has realized more of her feelings toward him, but he is now pulling away from her. So it it up to her to woo him now.
Someone, please, who understands Chinese could summarize chapters 28 29 and 30 so please help kill our curiosity…
In episode 28, the two concubines went to the embroidery shop and saw Sml hand on Shiyinang’s shoulder. Xu Liying heard them talking and rushed to the embroidery shop. He got upset with the Sml, and pulled his sword on him. In order to stop any bloodshed, Shiyinang, put a scissor to her neck to get him to stop. She tripped over a spool and Xu Liying saved her from falling but accidentally got stabbed by her. The two concubines came back into the shop and saw that Xu Liying was wounded and FL has blood on her hands. The ML threatens to throw them out of the house if they talk about what happened. The ML is unconscious for 2 days. FL by his side watching and taking care of him. The MIL wants to know what happens to her son but he forbids them to report the incident. The ML then writes a divorce letter ( from watching the Story of Minglan, this letter is like an amicable divorce. This letter is different from the first fake divorce letter) to Shiyinang. This letter would allow her to leave and basically absolves her of harming him. ( Don’t quote me but I think that it is against the law to harm the nobility and officials of the quote) Also, another way the General protects the FL is to leave for his assignment so that no one will find out that she stabbed him accidentally. The FL finally understands what he did for her to protect her in leaving, while wounded, and writing that divorce letter. Before he left, she also explains to him how she was trying to find her mom’s killer. The General was heartbroken because he felt as though as love was one sided and her feelings for her were no more than what she felt for the Sml.
Episode 29
During this episode the MIL finds out what happened by beating the two conbubines, Concubine Wen split the beans. She is very upset and the house steward comes in to report that Xu Liying died from a fire. She wants to sentence the FL to death with poisoned wine. However, the FL doesn’t believe that the ML is dead. She says that she will accept any punishment after he comes back. After listening the pleads from every family member, Grand Madam Xu relents and sends FL to the countryside to be treated as a servant.
During her time at the countryside, the FL is doing alot of manual labour and she finds out thwt someone is trying to hurt her. She founds out that the second steward in charge of the farm is trying to harm her. The Sml, Ou guy( hahah I forgot his name) was helping her fill the water
etc. They caught the second steward as he was trying to kill the FL and just they are trying to find out who was behind him, the second steward was shot with an arrow. Men, assassins, in black come to attach the farm. The Sml tells Shiyinang to run and suddenly the very much alive General Xu comes out to attack the assassins. Episode 30 The couple have a talk about what has been going on and the ML pulls away from the FL’s touch. Turns out that the General feigned his death as he suspected that someone was following him. They leave the country farm and arrive home. Grand madam Xu is delighted that her son is alive and was appalled that he brought back Xiyinang. The ML lies and says that he wasn’t hurt as severely as his wound was all a ploy to trick the Ou family. Later, Xiyinang tells her husband about her suspicions of finding the same embroidery pattern on Concubine Wen’s son’s handkerchief. They conclude that Concubine Wen wouldn’t have colluded with the Ou family because of her love of her son. The general forbid Concubine of ever mentioning the incident again.
Any have links to watch trailers for the episodes that haven’t aired yet? I found some yesterday morning on youtube, however, I can’t seem to find them anymore.
I really like this drama and can’t wait for more episodes.
