only a few mins into ep 1 but I'm already annoyed af at the little brother and her father lol.

arrg why only 1 ep/day for the last quarter of the show :((

lol i totally forgot chubby was a street thug at the start of the show. go ahead brother Cao

home girl really been plotting for over 400yrs. all the artifacts she stole while she imprisoned him for 100yrs was for today!!! omg

iirc, there was a character that described him as a spoiled rich kid in one of the earlier eps? lol BJS is exactly like that; so naive to the world. he tried to speedrun/hack their tribulation 400 yrs ago. bro really didn't know/think there would be hardship, he literally thought all they had to do was go down to mortal realm and chill for a some decades.
he admits this in today's eps, "I thought you'd be fine if I left you with plenty of money and servants" lmao

Lin Tao is just like his dad. Lol both are chatterbox. Rip brother lin fan

I think at beginning they did say he was their savior as well. It all boiled down to them being loyal because they owed him, to the point of killing themselves at his behest.

it happened a lot throughout chinese history. pretty crazy stuff

nah I think dude would've stopped and begged for his life if she had revealed her identity. if it doesn't help then it doesn't help.. but to not even do it at all is silly, you can't just chalk it up to him going through with it anyway. if that's the case, they should've played it out how you imagined the scenario.. you can't assume it won't work and not even try it in a situation like that. idc if he had all those excuses to fire at her, you think dingbei wang would just let him be? like "whoopsie, my bad your wife seduced me I didn't know who she was". just the attempted SA got his jewels chopped (they didn't show but I'd assume from the off screen sword slash and scream), imagined if he succeeded.. head def rollin

anyway, the SA attempt scene had to happen to intro a new bodyguard character. and in order for him to go through with the attempt, he needed to be unaware of who is was. with that said, they should've left her mouth gag on! because it makes zero sense that she could speak again but didn't drop that anvil of a fact on him.

ofc, but they should've kept her mouth gag on and proceed with the SA attempt.. is what i'm saying. it's bad writing to remove her mouth gag and then not have her proclaim her identity to full stop the situation.

i'm fine if they never had him take off the mouth gag, but since he did.. name dropping one of the baddest mofo in the capital would've probably helped immensely in a situation where you're about to be SA. she wasn't too shock, had enough sense to try to "reason" with him.

very poor writing on that part.

bruh she couldn't just tell the lecher dude she's dingbei wang's wife?

ditto, I think the masked "savior" might be the "3rd person" too

oh no Shi Yuan!!! burn that painting broooo

no, the options are for him to decide what he wants; family vs power. remember he came back to wei this time to try to usurp wei shao's power. she simply told him, if he wants power... there's a clear and easy path for that in bianzhou (he's the heir over there now). but if he does that, due to the feud wei has chen pang.. they will be enemies. like it's pretty black and white so there's really no need to discuss or reason anything and she knows he's intelligent enough to see all that.
he already previously had misunderstanding/distrust for her so if she tried to "woo" him with words he would think she's just trying to pull the wools over his eyes

I didn't think it was an "ultimatum" more so just laying reality on the table and what his options are. WY is smart, I t don't think it would go well trying to dance around the bush

lol this is not cultivation genre, no changing bones and cleansing/opening meridians here :P

wei yan had previously teased xiao tao by swiping her nose at the jewelry shop.

ya, her name could very well be a pun hehe

I'm aware. but she got feelings before finding out.
