Does Zhao Ling ever get a concubine?? I need to prepare myself.

Novel readers, please spoil something for me: 🫣

lmao! 🤣🤣🤣

I think Mrs. Yu has been making decisions for her son's life and YJX sees that as controlling, and that may be true. But he also has done nothing to show his mother that he is capable of taking control of his life. And the one time his mother allowed him to decide on something, he chooses FYK as his wife. 🙃😐

I think she was 15 when they filmed it and then 16 when it aired.

We'll see I suppose. I think Mrs. Zou is all kind of messed up and crazy but not so powerful on her own. But with Mrs. Yu offering support to her, that's another story.

I suspect it's because of Mrs. Zou. I dunno. Made me think that since she was brought up by Mrs. Yu and they showed a short scene of Mrs. Zou.

MDL should really do something about access to rating of unaired eps.

I was scoffing at that internal monologue of his. 🤣

Actually, I'm not sure if she even values those books. The way she sells them off makes me think they weren't important to her at all.

Oh gods I saw this too! They saying it's his posture and that's why he can't act! WTF???!!!! It's part of the character! That's salt smuggler Zhao Ling. Walks with a swagger, sits with his feet up, head tilted down - that's him. From the previews and trailers when he's already a court official, you see how different the demeanor is - his back straight, his head straight, the way he walks is different. It's the transformation of the character! Like! DYX is being very deliberate with these details in the character!

Wasn't it that YJX didn't want FYK to have those books given to the prince "to buy his way" or something like that? But yeah, when she needed money to buy gift for Mrs. Yan, she could've asked Mrs. Yu. Instead she sold the books, those YJX and Mrs. Yu founs precious enough to fight about.

lmfao!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Technically it was the crown prince who sent him there but whatever. Realistically, yes, there are people who wouldn't want to be a soldier. It's dangerous, you might die. And they shouldn't if they don't want to. But for people whose circumstances don't give them many options, and they don't open many doors, this was a decent, legal option for them. And while I have nothing against female characters going to war themselves, not everyone needs to be like that.

Even though she plays it as if it's all transactional because yes, it is for mutual benefit. But she would have never done this if it wasn't Zhao Ling. She trusts and admires this man. He has seen her at her most vulnerable, stood by her side and never made her feel embarrassed for it. She is willing to put her life on the line for him. More than for the mutual benefit, I think these are the real reasons she wants to marry him.

I think it was considered meritorious to join the army. There is possibility for upward movement even for commoners. They can get rewarded with land, property, silver if they achieve something big during battles, etc. And in terms of social rank, they can achieve high status through the military.

In that confrontation betweeb FTY and FYK, I loved how TY never made excuses for herself. She admitted to her own shortcomings as they are. So unlike FYK, so without remorse, no accountability...

😭😭😭😭

Ting Yun was so queen there! 👑👑👑The composure, the expression, the way she walked slowly and then sat slowly as if saying I will get what I want, you can take your time.

She was so excited, she couldn't hold it in. Didn't even wait for him to sit down.
