I was really excited when I found out this has enemies to lovers tropes. Literally one of my favorites. There are so many Manman and Zhonglin moments that I adore. Them being so soft and communicating under the moonlight, the drunk Manman scene, and the steamy parts 🤭 The comedy was surprising (for me) especially how they made the first ep dark and serious, I didn’t know it has so much humor!

I do agree how Manman is sometimes too forgiving. I feel like she's too considerate with the lord. I understand how she got that trait, but it makes me think how she'll survive if she didn't end up with Wei Shao. But she's smart and prove that countless of times I'm sure she'll be okay. That water plan was so good, I just didn't expect she'll talk her way out of that situation lmaoo.

I also love how natural the romance with Manman and Zhonglin, and how he gradually let go of his hatred and accepted that his wife will still care for the Qiao Clan. He prioritized his principles and what matters most in the present than hold to that vengeance. Unlike Lady Yulou 🙄

The 4 Wei generals 😭 I love them so much. My Wei Liang you deserve so much better. His giggles are literally my favorite parts. I knew he was gonna die cause I got spoiled in Tiktok. But the moment Bizhi came to the screen, I immediately started bawling. I knew they're gonna use Bizhi to fucking kill him, that is just fucking cruel. My god.

"Tell Xiaotao not to wait for me." JUST KILL ME RN?! Xiaotao saying she's still gonna marry him oh my babies. I hope you'll find each other in the next life.
The guilt Wei Qu must've felt. I was already so devastated with Wei Liang, I literally lose it when Wei Qu saw and took his body. Whoever thought of that needs to pay my therapy.

Now let's talk about Bizhi and Qiaofan tragedy. I could write essays about them. I was saying from the very damn start that I would lose it if something happens to Bizhi and I didn't include the fact that there's Qiaofan. That was so horrifying. I understand Qiaofan's reasonings and actions. There are selfish people who will hurt everyone just to protect what's important to them. Even though it was the weakest way to protect someone. I was skeptical with their relationship at first, you can never be too sure with a man. But Bizhi getting sour plums and making Qiaofan's instrument (idk what's it called) really cemented how good he is to her, and she wanted to protect that love.

"You're my lover, not a beast to be controlled. Darling, if you ever think back on today, just remember, I never regret it." And there goes Bizhi running to catch her, so close on saving her but still not enough. What. the. fuck.

Now the villains. Lady Yulou finding out someone genuinely loved her but missed to experience it and chose to go in the path of destruction just so she can take revenge was so satisfying. She blamed everything and everyone but didn't prioritize those who cared for her was a nice touch. Liuyan was evil. He just had a weak ego and wanted power. Death was too quick for all that. Same with Qiaoyue. They needed to suffer more, hopefully karma chases them in their next life smh.
