Very possible or maybe he was already king and went under cover? Based on episode 19-20, we know XHA's father was very smart. Chang'an remained strong because they had a good strategist on their side. We came to find out YFS was his father's disciple. YSF may have been the King's first pawn. YSF got used the whole time. Everyone fell right into his scheme. The uncles, aunts, Huben, etc. The King's intention was to cause internal strife and get Chang'an to kill each other off so he can take over Chang'an without dropping blood from Tiemo. From the end of episode 20, looks like his plan is about to come true unless XHA can stop him.

XHA does not have the manpower as YFS. Even if he does, he won't trust everyone. As we can see almost everywhere was infiltrated by YSF's people. XHA has few people he trusted. Amost of the people he used to carry out his plans were either through blood debt or guilty tripped. With limited manpower, he has to be very meticulious but he is human and there will be flaws. He was very careful from the beginning to ensure of his sister's safety and to protect her identity. He even had someone be their messenger. He thought she would be safe out of Chang'an. An oversight, yes but definitely not stupid.

And this whole time we've been wondering who the mysterious man was and why this guy in prison by YFS when supposedly they are on the same side! The shock!!

He went crazy there for a second but I knew he had a bigger plan. He finally got YSF under his finger at the end. Phew...

They come and go so quick but their role is so impactful and significant. I actually learned to pay closer and more attention to their names by now. LOL

Is there an English site? I tried to sign up for an account but it keeps reverting back to Chinese? Maybe I am in the wrong site? Would Youku in Youtube be counted?

I don't know. He is Mr Long's discipline so if you have watched episode 20, I am questioning his role.

Holy smoke! I did not expect that twist at episode 20! Feel like I have been lied to this whole time! Give me a minute to recover please!

I have but still want Sifeng. 😂😅. I watched Love and Redemption several times and South Winds Know My Mood once. I tried to watch other romantice dramas but they don't hit the same. Maybe I will try SWKMM again while I wait for new episodes of VOA. Thanks for reminding me.

I love Sifeng the most and I have been searching for him in Cheng Yi's other dramas since but I can't find him anywhere. 😭😭. I thought I would find a little bit of Yu Sifeng in Wangquan Fugui but not a glance. I am happy to see Cheng Yi explore other characters and it shows he's improving, versatile and can play other roles but I would like to see him in a romantice role before he retired. Can a girl dream?

I agree. I saw a nervousness from XHA's face when they talked about that boy. I am afraid for Yang.

You ever watch him cry? Even his cries are different. I love Cheng Yi and watch almost all his dramas and I can tell you almost of all them convey different emotion even though he is "crying."

Agree. Even though Chancellor Gao was only in a few scenes, his role was significant and I am very sad to see him go. For a drama that drops people left and right, I am surprised I remember everyone's names and who they are. LOL

Is it confirmed he is not renewing his contract with HR??

That is what I miss so much about Li Lianhua.

I feel like she is kind of biased. I never knew of Cheng Yi before. I remember when MLC came out, I happened to see her negative review first so I did not bother watching MLC. I am a big big fan of the detective investigative genre - Justice Bao, Pillowcase of Mystery, Detective Dee, Maiden Holmes, Ancient Detective, etc. My husband knew how much I love dramas like these so he decided to watch it despite the "negative" review from Avenuex. He enjoyed it so much, he couldn't stop talking about it. Out of curiousity, I decided to watch a few episodes with him. I loved it so much so I started to watch it on my own. I became a Cheng Yi fan after that. I went back to watch his old works. Discovered Yi Sifeng and became a die hard fan. I must have watched MLC at least 6 times now and I still go back to watch clips of it. Because I follow Avenuex on Youtube when I saw Cheng Yi's face on her video today, I clicked it. She did Cheng Yi and VOA bad. I have a feeling she doesn't like Cheng Yi. She always says negative things about him and his dramas. As a non Chinese speaker, I find Cheng Yi's voice incredibly sexy. I won't listen to anyone that gives a drama review by watching only 2 episodes 🙄. I realize she's too judgy.

He is going to die either way.

Oh my god. The details! I thought they met and saw each other but you're right. Some time did pass. What YFS saw and said was all imagination of what XHA must have gone through.

He is one of my favorite characters in the whole series.

Cheng Yi, his laugh and random English phrases. He won't be Cheng Yi without them.
