More episode 27. 'dramatic' scene of 3 miscellaneous ladies crossing a bridge to pledge their help. Cause nothing says assistance like 3 powerless ladies coming over a bridge at night to dramatic music and excellent lighting ๐คฃ Dungeon part 2. Brings me back to a point I made earlier. Why don't they ever torture the bad guys like this? Only the MLs. And sometimes the FLs too.๐ค And now you want me to believe that the evil concubine has all of a sudden had a change of heart cause she saw the FL crying? ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ Yeah, this complete reversal of her personality does make any sense at all. You can't shoehorn evil into good like that. And whoever that dick is making the FL kowtow and beg. Please. This FL would not be weepy and begging. She is a badass that takes out her enemies. Stab you with her hairpin๐ฎโ๐จ And now rescued by the 3 miscellaneous ladies who all do their best Wonder Woman poses? 2 guys with swords are fighting an army, 3 misc ladies are standing in the way, FL runs off into the night, half the army chases after the FL using a 'shortcut', FL knocks shit over cause of course she has had a personality transplant and is no longer the awesome kickass killing machine, she is now a pathetic weepy begging person no long deserving of the FL title. ๐ But damn, that guy named Fen(?) is hot!๐ฅ Slowmo FL running dramatically with dramatic music! Cue the big drums!๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
that fact that the evil concubine and daughter face no consequences and have a happily ever after pisses me off…
Agree. I was really hoping for a couple of poetically awesome deaths for the 2 of them! Once again, no consequences, all is forgiven, lets hug it out. Let's forget about the past 17 years that you made me and my mother's lives living hells....๐
Episode 27. You ever notice that when the evil masterminds are put into prison they are never tortured, they just get to kick back and relax for a few days, and they get to go home, but when a ML is sent to prison he is always tortured. Always. ๐ And...the ML is officially an idiot. He admits his guilt. More noble idiocy.๐ And I really don't understand why the ML and FL are going to be executed for a money laundering scheme? I'll admit, I'm bored and not really paying attention now. ๐คฃ But seriously, this plot is just making me scratch my head! ๐ค So, originally an evil eunuch stole some money. He had a gang of guys following him that he forced to be castrated cause, I don't know, he was a sadistic bastard? He adopted son(s). He laundered money. He died. The evil father (adopted son) is in charge of the money laundering. But the evil father was smart so he had a kid, banished the kid to hell, then setup an arranged marriage for the kid to some other kid (FL and ML). The evil father put the FL's name on everything even though she was an infant/child/thousands of miles away being abused/tortured/starved/sexually assaulted by her foster parents at the time. All cause the creep evil father is playing 4 dimensional chess while the FL and ML are playing hopscotch and with his crystal ball ๐ฎhe knew that the FL would grow up, kill her foster parents, come back to the city, marry the ML, and they would get together to try and bring him down? And the authorities are believing all this? Do I have this right?๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Episode 26. The ML and FL standing over the evil concubine's grave was just such an awesome shot! The angle, the lighting, the music! Perfection!๐ Now I'm just pissed off. Why the hell do they keep doing this whole redemption/forgiveness thing? The evil concubine sent the FL basically to her death and it was only through the FL's sheer tenacity that she was able to survive 17 years of hell. But yeah, all is forgiven, I will save you even though you made me and my mother's life a living hell for 17+ years, let's hug it out now. FFS. ๐No, kill the evil bitch already!๐คฌaarrgghh! Oh yeah I forgot, the evil concubine also sent her evil daughter off to be married to a sadistic psycho to be tortured too. Isn't she a lovely person, definitely deserving of redemption. FFS๐ An another note, the costumes for the FL after her marriage are outstanding! I so love the red and black she has been wearing! ๐ eww ๐ถ๐ฝ So the big secret of this entire series is......it's a money laundering scheme? Seriously? Not over-throwing the king, taking over the country, just money laundering? Really? That's the best the screenwriters could come up with? ๐๐ฅฑ๐ด I really wish the screenwriters would have read the novel. ๐
I may need to rewatch this just to count how many times the FL gets choked in this series. I guess that is a side affect of having such beautiful costumes and a FL with such a beautiful slim neck? ๐
yeah I can't think of any fl who also committed murder the way she did. in terms of characterization, her type…
If you want to see a FL who actually take revenge read Deng Hua Xiao by the same author. This is a FL I adore ๐ฅฐ and wish they would adapt (in the right way) to a drama. I just don't think the world is ready for Tong Tong yet! And there is romance but the FL puts that aside until after she gets her revenge. Whish is so well done!๐ https://mydramanovel.com/deng-hua-xiao/
Episode 24. Head spinning after that one! ๐ตโ๐ซ Consort dies, FL almost goes complete psycho, stabs ML, ML spits blood, little girl is hiding in the trunk (lordie has she been playing hide and seek from a few episodes ago? How long was she locked in that trunk?๐), little girl convinces FL to be her mother, FL decides to trust ML with the revenge thing for now. Did I miss anything? Oh yeah, bones? ๐๐ฆด๐ฆด๐ฆด I'm with FL. She should have just gone over and killed the evil father. ๐ก๏ธ๐ก๏ธ๐ก๏ธThat's the only way to stop someone like that! Yes, he has schemes and henchmen and whatnot, but if you don't care if you survive then take him out. For the greater good! ๐ And WTAF is up with trailer for episode 26? FL is actually forgiving evil concubine and wants to work with her? ๐ It's the evil concubine that caused the FL to be sent away as a newborn baby to be abused and tortured and starved and sexually assaulted for 17 years!๐ก FFS.๐คฌ
Imagined ending: The father kills the evil concubine. The evil concubine's daughter gets killed by the evil duke. The father gets killed by the FL. The ML dies of poisoning. The FL takes the little one and her and the assassin and the little girl sail away into the sunset...๐
Imho at the very bottom. I am yet to start reading DHX but read ME, Ill-fated Consort and Star General. The Noble…
Maybe a few steps over the borderline psychopath! ๐ And I love the fact that the ML knew and was all in. He's like 'how many pieces would you like him cut into?' and she's like 'nope, I'll do it myself thank you' ๐คฃ Sadly, all of that great storytelling, I see no way they will ever let it get past the censures so it probably won't get an adaption, or if they do it will be just like this one, a completely different story.๐ข
Imho at the very bottom. I am yet to start reading DHX but read ME, Ill-fated Consort and Star General. The Noble…
I just finished DHX and dang, that FL is the best! Everything was for revenge. I just loved how the FL was always saying to the ML 'do you want me to kill him?' To me this character and story is how a revenge tale should be. With actual, like, revenge! They all die! In the most wonderfully poetic ways! I don't even know which one was my favorite. Probably the first, drowning in the fish vat after parlyzing with drugs!๐ ๐ Was that the first? But the last few chapters and extras were romance and sweet. And I love the extra chapters. ๐ฅฐ
Ep23: Zhuang family is one big mess of a family. lolFor the novel readers, I wanna know how much romance is there…
In the novel the FL was only 12 or 13 when the story started and the ML was 21 so not a lot of romance for a while. We spend most of the time in the novel with the ML helping the FL out with her revenge schemes but no real romance for a long time. BTW, there's no evil eunuch's castrated adopted sons storyline if the novel. The novel is the FL is murdered by the evil concubine's evil daughter on her wedding night cause the evil concubine's evil daughter had a thing for the groom and the groom had a thing for her too. So they poisoned her on the wedding night, she died and woke up as herself when she was 12 years old. Totally different story! ๐

And now you want me to believe that the evil concubine has all of a sudden had a change of heart cause she saw the FL crying? ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ Yeah, this complete reversal of her personality does make any sense at all. You can't shoehorn evil into good like that.
And whoever that dick is making the FL kowtow and beg. Please. This FL would not be weepy and begging. She is a badass that takes out her enemies. Stab you with her hairpin๐ฎโ๐จ
And now rescued by the 3 miscellaneous ladies who all do their best Wonder Woman poses? 2 guys with swords are fighting an army, 3 misc ladies are standing in the way, FL runs off into the night, half the army chases after the FL using a 'shortcut', FL knocks shit over cause of course she has had a personality transplant and is no longer the awesome kickass killing machine, she is now a pathetic weepy begging person no long deserving of the FL title. ๐
