I fully understand why he did all the things he did. He is driven by both political and personal motives. He is not as cruel as he seems to be. However, I do think he pushes it to the extreme. One thing that bugs me is how he ends up making her see the bad consequences of her decisions. He also wants it all.
This is a drama that you have to watch carefully. It is easy to get emotional and only focus on the romance, but it’s important to also pay attention to the politics in order to understand the characters better and not get swept up.
I just finished watching and I have mixed feelings about this drama.
I never thought CSY would go that far. That was low. Also, it’s so annoying how police at that time are so quick to come to a conclusion. Even KTJ concludes that someone’s a copycat based on limited evidence without questioning other variables. Although I think SJW may be too emotional at times, she has better deduction skills tbh.
Wow, episode 28 was deep. The writers are clearly setting up a catalyst for Ye Xian’s character growth, but did they really have to hurt him that much? Give the manchild a break, he just lost the love of his life. Then again, it’s either reality finally hits him, or he spends his days drinking away the pain alone. I guess the former is better 😪🤧
That street scene genuinely had me holding my breath. It was so sad and heartbreaking. Of course, I’m happy our couple finally got married, but Ye Xian’s storyline is just devastating. Honestly, I’m glad he stepped aside and let Yan Yun and Jin Zhao pass, because I would’ve been disappointed otherwise. The way he lowered his gaze as they walked by felt like acceptance, or at least the beginning of it, and I’m glad the writers chose that direction. Ye Xian, I really hope you get your happy ending too.
And to our sadboy scholar, please don’t rage bait me. Just suffer quietly for now.
I understood Zhan Zhao’s character, but honestly, I was starting to get tired of his constant sense of justice because I thought he would just refuse to truly hurt anyone in the name of justice.
But that action scene changed my perspective. He’s just someone who refuses to act as judge, jury, and executioner because he’s bound by the law. That doesn’t mean he won’t fight back though. He’ll absolutely break bones and spill blood to protect himself and others if he has to… he just won’t kill.
I love how even the way he fights reflects that, like how he’d rather turn his sword and strike with the hilt than point the blade at someone.
I’m sorry, but I cringed when Ye Xian went ballistic confronting Jin Zhao, and her reaction didn't help either. Also, can bro please stop pointing weapons at our girl? 🙂↔️
But for real, episode 26 is so unlucky for him. Not only did he lose his love, but he’s also about to lose his family. It really seems like the writers are set on making him suffer.
Anyway, the kid is one smart little emperor. I’m impressed! Stay good, kid. 🙂↕️
I also prefer the slowburn rather than the instalove plots but here it does kinda make sense for him to be gravitating…
Exactly. It makes sense. If she was some normal girl, I would’ve question it and call it cliché but this one.. she’s too interesting in the modern time hahaah.

Yea, they both give me the flutters! It was well-executed here imo. She was too interesting to not leave an impression and she also touched his pain points well!
