I will be completely honest - I’m not sure if I can keep my hopes up for this Capital arc since it’s probably gonna focus on politics now. A huge reason why I enjoyed the first arc up to the Ganlin arc is because of the worldbuilding and action.
Now we’re just gonna be stuck with watching various members of the Yu family try to outwit our couple with… insults and banquets.
HOW MANY MORE OF THESE SHAME BANQUETS WILL YOU MAKE ME WATCH
And this new Wu character is completely uninteresting.
Viewers I have one question regarding yesterday’s episodes. A’sen informed ZL that TY went to meet YJX and…
Had the exact same thought, felt like a pretty glaring plot hole which could’ve been solved by a single additional conversation between Zhao Ling and Sen/Zheng San with instructions to check on her.
can you spoil why ZL says he is not betrothed in ep 18? remembering that in the teaser makes me too anxious to…
ZL, after receiving his promotion to 4th rank, decides to arrest Advisor Li. Advisor Li makes threats against his family and his fiancée. To keep Tingyun safe, he denies having a fiancée.
There's also a later scene where ZL, while on the street buying desserts for Tingyun since it's her birthday, gets ambushed and stabbed. The desserts get smushed and he also took that as a sign that 'it's not safe to go home yet'.
Eps 17-18 were so full of weight. It’s the type of bittersweet weight that makes me wanna put this drama down so I could step out and get some air. The first 16 episodes were building up to these two episodes.
Splendid work. I really hope the second half will deliver.
im just halfway through ep16 and taking a break. i think i looped that kiss 6 times by now im in tears, i cant…
Mind you, we had a title drop in ep 1 where it was Madame Yu’s praise to Fu Tingyun during the Flower Goddess Festival, and the way Fu Tingyun quotes it in her confession here in Ep 16 makes it seem like she is claiming her marriage to Zhao Ling as the fulfilment of Madame Yu’s words to her as if they were a prophecy 🥰
I may have hated the Zuo siblings for all their wrongdoings, but I still kinda feel saddened with their endings.…
For sure! I didn't even expect them to be gone so soon but I guess it's better than botching up their characters with extended hate or a poorly executed redemption arc.
But maybe it’s also okay not to expect anything…
Now we’re just gonna be stuck with watching various members of the Yu family try to outwit our couple with… insults and banquets.

Happy watching!
Their first collab (movie) didn’t have them as a CP
Splendid work. I really hope the second half will deliver.
RIP Yang Yucheng!
But of course I don’t want our darling Tingyun to die like Padmé Amidala lol
So let’s see how our ML & FL will continue to grow 🔥
I love them so much hahaha
zhao ling has been pretty honourable so to see him just straight up be ruthless was awesome and totally unexpected for me 😂🤣
Book spoilers are still considered spoilers.
