I really like the relationship between TY and her sisters from Ganlin town. They became her community back in…
Their relationship was born out of mutual care and respect for each other. It is such a contrast to the relationship TY has with other women in the capitol that is almost always based on benefit and strategy.
I really like the relationship between TY and her sisters from Ganlin town. They became her community back in Ganlin Town and then in the capital. I love how Mrs. Wang treats TY and Mrs Mo like her little sisters. How these women did their best to protect TY and her household when they were jailed.
And I am so glad they took time to show TY and Mrs Mo mend their relationship. When TY confesses to Mrs Mo that ZL is alive, expecting Mrs Mo to get angry. Instead Mrs Mo tells her she is happy that TY does not have to go through the pain of losing her husband. And how Mrs Mo finally tells TY that she doesn't blame them for what happened to General Mo.
When ZL tells TY, I'm back, you just know he meant more than just being back from the mission. He meant ZL was back, not the man that he became while in the capitol. And when TY greeted him, I'm glad you're back, she knew exactlty what he meant. 😭😭😭 It was the first time in a really long time that ZL truly smiled. 🥲🥲🥲
ZL was right when he said that the ledger of all the people Madam Wu was bribing couldn't have saved Mo Yi. Even if it proved that Mo Yi didn't ask for bribes and thus had no motive to kill Madam Wu, it won't solve the case. It would only prove Mo Yi was innocent but the Anzhou merchants would still be an uproar, demanding justice. And for the Emperor, that is not the conclusion he wants. What he needed was to temper the anger of the merchants, hush down the whispers in court and pave the way for the Salt Reform. Mo Yi was innocent but the Emperor had already deemed it necessary for him to die. Mo Yi is the "justice" the Emperor needed.
The relationship between ZL and TY right now feels like two people walking on a dark, foggy road. It's scary and ZL, in his desire to protect TY, puts a shield over her eyes so that she doesn't have to see how scary it is. But she already knows its scary and wants to protect him, too. But walking around with a shield over your eyes makes it impossible. And when new scary things come their way, he keeps trying to shield her while he fights those new scary things. Meanwhile, she struggles to understand the things she can't see clearly and feels helpless that she can't understand and that she can't protect him.
thanks I was waiting for it to end to watch but here we go another simp with another fl that don't see she's cold…
I got the impression that TY was doing that to convince Madam Wang to allow A'sen to marry her daughter while ZL was convincing Commander Wang. Not as a separate strategy but the on the same line as ZL's to form an alliance between the two families
It's kind of funny when people (other characters and audience members too) claim that ZL has power or power has…
Oh yes. Right now, ZL and TY are more like the Emperor's pawns. And also, the real power in the court has always belonged to the powerful nobles, no? Like Grand Secretary Yu. Even the emperor cannot go against them directly because their influence are far more reaching than the emperor's.
Ep 31 made it very clear where the relationship between the emperor and ZL stands. He is the emperor. He's not a friend. He's not an ally. He will use the people around his as he sees fit. He doesn't just want loyalty, he wants complete obedience. 😫
