First of all, I'm still very much invested in this show. I love it so much!!! Caught up with all the episodes.…
"YZ been almost MIA in the latest episodes. He somehow found CY twice and managed to lose track of her both the times??? Second time she was injured after falling down a cliff, and still his soldiers couldn't track her. This part of the plot seemed to have holes, because given how obsessed YZ is with CY, I find it very difficult to believe that this happened. He could have atleast informed CY that they are trying to track Changning given how worried she's been about her little sis. I understand that this part's probably been directly adapted from the novel, but sometimes I wish that the scriptwriters could have improved such plotholes."
Lose track of her? They did find her and save her but he didn't confine her to him, they've broke up remember. And why is he supposed to keep finding FCY? Both are now growing/learning on their own. This arc right now is for the characters' growth of FCY becoming a general/uncovering the truth on her own and his is obviously fighting the war and to realise his self worth/overcoming his abandonment issues to finally revealing himself to her when/if they meet. The moment he finds FCN he sends word to FCY, why send notice earlier for the false hope? The whole plan is banking on alot to go right. And you can bet your ass she would run to him to help, which he doesn't want to do - endangering her life more. But she does it anyway, trying to help out etc. And that obviously worries him, but he/she have never tried to not let the other breathe. Both obviously need a long chat after all this but there's a war.
What do you mean by her grieving for him at death's door (if she knew who he was)?
@eleison And if he does die, all the enemies will come for her after. And she may even want avenge his death. I liked these points on X on why (strong on 2 for me):
Even the girl seeking revenge by killing FCY treated her (supposed) enemy's daughter well!!!
Yep the girls have their limits on whats ok and playing about a child is not ok. And it looks like Qi Shu? will be nice to FCY too, so none of that nasty women BS
What I love about this show is girlhood. I hate when they make women tearing each other down for funsies. FCY and QQ friendship, and that magistrate daughter being harmless 😭😭
