Whoo! I got goosebumps from the assassin scene. He Yan saving Dudu from the poison, his angry face after, him instantly killing the assassin, and his concerned face after He Yan said she went blind. WOW, Zhou Ye acted out the blind person so well, her eyes literally went in like 2 different directions. In the scene after with Dudu and He Yan, you could see on his face that he either felt sorry for her or guilty. He Yan knew that so she tried to stay upbeat and positive about it. She also called him “Xiao Jue” by his real name which shows the sincerity that she is speaking with. Her twiddling hands when he mentioned she may never see again gives away her distress though. I feel so bad, she’s survived so much and has to hide her emotions to make Dudu feel better. He Yan is genuinely such a strong woman. But Xiao Jue can tell she’s scared and not as carefree as she’s faking. Their connection is already pretty strong at this point. Him blowing the cup of hot tea for her and directly feeding her the cup. He is caring regardless of how he wants to put a mask on, he genuinely cares for He Yan already at this point. And then him blocking all the hard corners in the room and helping her get around. AHHH, this ain’t supposed to be a sweet scene cus what happened to her is obv rlly bad but it is. Xiao Jue didn’t rlly care abt the assassiantion attempt or his business cus he knew he could figure that out but he felt guilty abt He Yan being implicated by this whole situation. Xiao Jue was also instantly able to notice when He Yan was faking being blind. His attentiveness is really shining through.

Holy they’re both so observant of each other. Dudu knew she was going out and He Yan knew that Dudu was behind her even though he tried to hide. The tension between her and Dudu at the pavilion was so obvious. I’m a full believer in Dudu and He Yan but I gotta say, that scene with Chu Zhao playing the flute for He Yan to get back in rhythm was pretty sweet. He Yan hiding behind Dudu the entire time while he was fighting with the Sun family was so funny. She was being so goofy.

Aw, the disappointment on He Yan’s face when she wasn’t selected to join the battalion. All her work prob felt like it was for nothing. There must be a reason though. She even broke his guzheng when she was drunk but he didn’t really say anything. That was his prized possession and he didn’t even get mad. He even told her there’s no need to kneel. He Yan also hugging his waist😭😭. I think the fact that Dudu knows she’s a woman but she doesn’t know that he knows is even funnier. AHHH. He saved her head from hitting the floor by grabbing the back of her neck. Slowburn who? Dudu was completely taken away by He Yan wearing female hanfu.

When they were folding lanterns together and their hands touched, it was actually Xiao Jue who pulled away first even though he’s the general.😭😭 The lantern scene was super deep for me, they shared silent hurt and silent struggles while isolated. These two are more connected than they both think. Dudu’s eyes too, they’re piercing with that smirk. One of the things that I like the most about Dudu is that he never underestimates He Yan and lets her prove herself because he knows she can.

Xiao Jue being exposed that he was the other person who bet on He Yan to win. That scene was so funny when she found all the bread. The way that Xiao Jue found out she was a woman was so funny, he could feel it on his back. I also love the discipline that Xiao Jue has for his army. “One can die in battle, but never due to friendly fire.” He has a warm heart, it’s just stuck under a cold face. Especially for He Yan.

Xiao Jue and He Yan’s fighting scenes are always so fun to watch. Also, him observing her working hard, I think he secretly sees some of himself and his own drive/hardness on himself in her. The Qinglang Sword and He Yan have such a deep connection, I love the way Zhou Ye acted that part with her eyes getting watery at the meaning of that sword. Xiao Jue testing He Yan with the stone and understanding her moves so well that he knew she purposefully didn’t dodge it. Their chemistry even at the start is just amazingly well done.

I love He Yan’s character. She’s so knowledgeable and observant, proving that women can be just as good or even better than men. Although idk how the men can’t tell she’s a woman from her facial structure. I love how Xiao Jue could see the potential and experience that He Yan has and told everyone else not to underestimate her.

Cheng Lei in the armor with the blood on his face was the best visual to start off with getting introduced to his character. You can instantly tell the deep care He Yan has for the Xiao general, who mentored her and gave her the sword. It’s not just a power play for her, but for He Rufei it is. Xiao Jue gave her the last osmanthus candy in the world when he didn’t know who she was. He simply comforted her and motivated her to live even if blind. I’m noticing so much I didn’t when I first watched it. “Bitter on the outside, sweet on the inside.” Describes Xiao Jue perfectly. He also lied to her saying the moon was pretty, starting the symbol of the moon with their relationship. He Yan is so powerful, the fact she used her hearing and other senses to hold up a fight that long, unarmed is amazing.
