This new girl is also evil planning and plotting to get ML And how can ML be so stupid to walk straight into the…
Oooo. I read somewhere that in the novel, FTY's confession was actually brought about by her being jealous of a girl ZL helped. They didn't use that for FTY's confession in the drama. So maybe they're using that for this scenario instead.
I think we are supposed to feel uncomfortable with the choices ZL is making and the person he is becoming, so…
Yes! I always felt that the writer/s for this are not afraid of the uncomfortable. I personally feel that even if I understand his motivations, I don't necessarily have to like this side of ZL.
And they have no political allies among the nobles in the capital which make it worse. They can rely on no one…
Yes! FTY already voiced it out, them being new to the capital and no connections. I hope they get at least a few allies on their side~ New characters are welcome! Lol!
Surely the Yu family had enough people in their payroll to act as messengers to send word back and forth between…
Maybe, but ZL was important enough to ruffle Lord Yu's feathers since he was investigating Li Mo, with the hint that the Yu's are involved. And after all the trouble Mrs. Yu went through to permanently silence Li Mo and sabotage ZL's investigation, ZL still gets promoted. But that's just my guess.
Ep 19: I wonder how news travel so fast without phones. Mrs Yu already know about the Emperor giving Zhao Ling…
Surely the Yu family had enough people in their payroll to act as messengers to send word back and forth between the husband and wife. I believe it was common enough back then.
You should. He has placed everything on ZLâs shoulders. If it all goes to hell, only ZLâs head will be on…
I think they both understand this and I suppose that is also part of emperor-subject dynamics. The emperor has made ZL his sword to eradicate his obstacles. ZL is also his shield who will take the damages should the plan fall through. ZL understood that but is ambitious enough to take the risk. *Internally screams in stress*
The fact that this salt law ammendment (????) thing is a scheme put up by the Yu family to trap ZL is scaring me. They must have predicted that ZL would be ambitious enough to take it on. And they must know that this would make new enemies for ZL or that ZL would be reckless in his desire to move up the ranks and make mistakes. It's stressing me out to know that they may be right. Or they could be completely wrong and ZL and FTY may turn this against them. đŤđŤđŤđđđđđ
Maybe I watched too many historical shows but I'm quite scared for Zhao Ling. He did work his way to the top but…
Episode 20 has me nervous and stressed the entire time. It felt like everything was being strung tightly and it could break at any point. And it feels like it wiil be like this for the capital arc. I feel like FTY's worry of ZL getting "consumed" by his goals might come true.
grand secretary tian is so funny lmao cute old man
LMAO ZL threatening him with an extended term and old guy just wants to retire. Usually we see characters getting threatened with being removed from the position. Here, the old man doesn't want to stay!
