No LBFAD is a happy ending he comes back at the end???? For falling into you the SML was into her but she never saw him as anything more than a friend and the way she put her all to make sure the ML was successful in his passion was beautiful. Lmao about YAMG he's always working too isn't he? He's busier than her and she does take a 2 month break to stay with him. Nah it's cool I don't necessarily agree with you but if it bothers you that's valid.

I also just had this thought more than the rites, the fact that he went to protect YZ when he didn't have to even after he found out she did, risking his life and his people and his family (if they lost) mostly for her despite the parallel scenario being her family leaving his for dead is yet again proof of his unquestioning love. She couldn't tell him the truth when they were united but her put her first even when they were divided. The last 6 episodes really need to do some course correcting to balance things out.

I agree with all of those and I did feel the FL of Blossom fit the bill. What about the ending of LBFAD? It's a happy ending although brief. Other ones I would recommend would be Falling into you, you are my glory and a more recent one is Wanna be.

I do agree with that, they're not in the same position and on a certain level I get where she's coming from however I might add that for me at least what he did for her takes an indescribable about of love and must have so so difficult no less difficult than what would've taken her to trust him.

Now the mistake was made and we're moving on I truly hope with the remaining episodes we get to see her do something as grand and heartfelt from her that pertains to them not serving the people or his family, just him and echo back his words to him in her own way of the world meaning nothing without her etc.

They're doing quite well so far and I'm surprised they even had her cousin say those words to her and her reflecting on them because most cdramas just have FLs do whatever they want never taking accountability and the ML has to always say no it's my fault you did nothing wrong which the preview is giving me war flashbacks of lol that's why I'm still apprehensive.

Rant away we're all entitled to our opinions. That's basically most cdramas the ML is always more in love more giving more everything. If you want a drama with a FL whom I felt truly and unequivocally adores the ML 100% as much he does, I recommend Love between fairy and devil and more recently Blossom

It's proof of how much he loves her because the nonsense he's saying about the letter shows that he already forgave her. After her heartbreak and what she did to save them I do believe she really loves him but I still can't see that it's as unconditional and deep as his love, that's what's missing. Him needing reinforcements was due to her mistake in the 1st place if she did this when it was a normal war? Absolutely.

His gesture with her grandfather, that's unconditional love and just for her, nothing to do with the people or anyone else. And judging by the preview for 32 (although we might be missing some context) he tells her it's not her fault and that he'll be her spear and guard her which I have some... complicated feelings about because it absolutely was partially her fault and I'm confused that after having her realize how she's messed up this episode in her convo with her cousin they're seemingly backtracking. There's nothing wrong with her being flawed and having made a mistake it makes her a better written character they don't need to act like it's not true.

There are some really great ones of varying genres:

if you want masterful writing and one of the most incredible and smartest female characters, Story of Ming lan.
Nirvana in fire is a masterpiece political revenge battle of wits.
Something that's a costume show but has fantasy Love between fairy and devil, one of the best love stories ever.
Another one with a great main cast of female characters is A dream of splendor.
If you don't mind harem shows Yanxi palace also has one of the most badass and intelligent female leads in anything ever.

I read a post from weibo that someone translated and it kind of broke my heart a little.

"Who will feel sorry for Wei shao? Who has given him unconditional love? His grandmother loves him but she trains him as a young king and prefers his cousin, his mother loves him but she regards him as emotional sustenance for her deceased family, XQ loves him but she loves her family more. Everyone's love for him is conditional but his for them is unconditional and even has no bottom line. His mother drugged him, his grandmother was partial, his cousin was immoral, his wife calculating but he forgave them all... He carefully cherishes the little warmth everyone gives him because he has never known what it's like to be loved wholeheartedly".

I keep re-watching their fight because I like to hurt myself and realizing new things each time. The way he said " Enough you'd anything if it gets me to fight for Yanzhou" after she said she'd give anything for him even her life really cut deep. I really hope she'll prove that she actually means it.

I love them both as well I'm on his side in this conflict because she's in the wrong and I do believe we've seen just how much he cherishes her but not the same from her not to mention we're going to get the speech about how his life without her is meaningless even after everything so I have nothing to complain about from his side rn but I very much have doubts about what she's going to do and say and it that will match the depth of his actions and words.

His grandmother is so funny, his mother is spouting absolute nonsense as he's going war, and she's like remove her from here... lmao

I'm laughing because we're having 2 conversations at the same time. Yes I feel the same but the question is will it actually happen? I don't have much faith it will.

Which were the situations where she put him first that could've been bad in her favor? All I can think of is her coaxing him when he's being jealous and yielding first because he's just being petty and childish and those actually cost her nothing. I can't even think of a situation where you can say she put him first? Something that's even 10% of the magnitude of her grandpa's rites, even if we don't consider like I said that it's all advantageous to her and she has no other choice at this point but to do it to keep the peace and protect her clan.

Exactly!!!! I'll gladly eat my words if she's the one who either says something like it to him first or says it back but I very much doubt it.

I feel like all those were situations that cost her next nothing, on the contrary it bought her good will from him and goes to the goal of protecting her clan. I do think there's a right and wrong but like you said it depends on how you see it; Him lashing out at her because of his cousin's nonsense? He was completely in the wrong, here? I do believe she is but that's my opinion. Him putting her first means turning his back on his dead family and that costs everything. And it does put in question everything she did in the past because she admitted she never trusted him so all those words and actions were they even real?

True but it's the same thing to him, because they promised they would send help and if they had there's a huge chance all or at least some of them would still be alive. Them dying by their enemies hands is expected since they were in battle, them dying because of their allies? That's unconscionable.

I love these chats as well it's so nice to just discuss things with respect and logic despite our opinions being opposite. I want to see first how she leads the troops it's very confusing in the preview.
And absolutely she's done a lot for the people but my issue boils down to their relationship, just them. Regardless of the people or their families or for him in-spite of their families, his deep hatred for hers and his deep guilt for his like he said look at what he did for her grandpa there's no bigger gesture of love and trust humanely possible for someone in his situation.

I can get over if they indeed show us something at the same level from her of course tailored to her situation and her pov that shows just as much trust and love, that goes against everything she holds dear because he already did the same but I'm not holding my breath. Her leading the troops is her making up for the consequences of her own actions + protecting her own clan and land so it really doesn't say much to me at this point.

I just watched their fight again and I teared up when it's usually really rare for me to cry. He looks so betrayed and heartbroken and no matter what happens even if they win Wei men and soldiers who put their trust and faith in WS as their lord are going to lose their lives because of this. How are they going to just make him gloss over this in a logical way in one episode that by 31 he doesn't care and his declaring his undying love?

She said she's/he's her family as well but that obviously just lip service. It's kind of strange that he trusts the daughter of the clan that annihilated his and loves her to the point of doing what he did for her grandpa and what he did even after this betrayal and yet she's not expected to do the same.

Exactly he's shown he can go even against what most humans would never be capable of for her but expecting her to put a little trust in him is too much?
