Episode 26 opens on a comedic note. It was funny seeing everyone looking at Xie Zheng for confirmation, even Chang Yu who at that time still knows him as Yan Zheng. Yin Gong Sun’s expression when Qi Shu hugged him was so cute. His smiley puppy face though! Man Di’s scene was like a sad foreseeable future. His request towards Chang Yu and that slow mo as he leaves looking back at Chang Yu. I’m not ready.
The second half of the drama was both frustrating and empowering. Chang Yu’s actions is frustrating but I can’t blame her. She has a provider and protector mindset. I feel like things wouldn’t get this out of hand if Xie Zheng could be honest about his identity so she knows the gravity of his responsibilities. Though I believe even if she knew, she would still try to keep him from going to war or “doing too much” due to his injuries. At the very least though, they could work something out so she doesn’t endanger the whole army. However, her arc was redeemed when she manages to take down the leader of the enemy that led to their victory. Chang Yu vs the big dude’s fight was so empowering. Xie Wu failing to take him down added weight to Chang Yu’s win. Chang Yu has finally met her match in terms of strength. She was so agile and uses wit and strategies to take him down. That ending scene of Chang Yu was empowering!
The last scene of Xie Zheng and Chang Yu though! How I wish they kept the original scene of them facing each other on horseback. But the current one is beautiful nonetheless. Can’t wait for the head smack next episode!
she was real power house today - I had seen someone saying that its hard to believe such a tiny woman could do…
IKR!! Also, Xie Wu failing to take him down and then Chang Yu manages to take him down screams GIRLBOSS POWER. I felt adrenaline rush watching that scene.
The one thing this series does right is the quiet power of Yan Zheng/Xie Zheng. Because he has real power, as…
Exactly! Xie Zheng is not hungry for power but to him, power is just an instrument to strive towards his goal and purpose. Aside from him hiding his identity to Chang Yu, I actually really like his character as Marquis of Wu’an.
Exactly! He's such a perfect leader and husband. Comments saying the situation was made just for him to be a knight…
Agree! The preview might have made Xie Zheng look like he wants to be this knight in shining armor but truth is, he was just being a good leader and husband. He even said “ridiculous” when he saw Chang Yu and her squad using Sui Yuan Qing to confront their enemy. That ending scene in episode 25 was just so powerful and shows who his character as Marquis of Wu’an.
