Another short separation where theyre conflicted because of a blood feud in their family. But quickly get back together.

I remember when I first watched ZLH in Maiden Holmes and he was still unknown and I thought to myself, this is truly the best kiss scene I've ever seen. And four years later, he still is the best ML in kiss scenes.

this was a great episode and i loved every minute, but i'm also really concerned how slowly this is going. We are already at ep 27. there are only 13 eps left to get through everything (and the novel had a lot of plot to go through) and so far they've kept pretty consistent to the novel minus some characters and less important parts. So I'm really worried how they'll speedrun the last 10 eps. Hope my worries are for nothing.

i've literally been rewatching this over and over while waiting for the next episodes and waking up at 4:00 a.m. for the past 3 days to watch the new episodes. 😭

She still drugged her husband. Whether you want to say it's for love or not, it's still a big deal. Loving someone doesn't excuse drugging them. If he drugged her to keep her safe would we find that excusable? I don't think I would! Her rationale doesn't matter. And how could he expect or anticipate that she would drug him?
He absolutely should get told off for lying to her, but she should also get told off for drugging him regardless of his identity.

Listen, I agree she did incredibly well in thhis fight against the opposing general. But even if she hadn't taken the marquis's place, she still DRUGGED her husband. Yes her husband lied to her. SHE DRUGGED HIM!! That's not okay. I hope it gets addressed and it's not brushed over like the military punishment.

because in the novel he didn't miss the entire battle. so I'm actually curious where was he. did he go deal with the other general?

I'm actually so annoyed they didn't do the military punishment. And can someone tell me if he misssed out on the entire battle or we just didn't see him.

Theres another male character in the novel who had sort of a quasi crush on fl. I think they are giving some of that characters traits to mr. Jin and some to mr. Li.

I like that in ep 25 he still gave out punishment for breaking military orders. It shows his men that he doesnt make exceptions and he is fair, but it also shows them how much he loves her that he would take the punishment for her.
It was also appropriate because they risked a lot taking the prisoner and endangered themselves and the camp if things went wrong or if he didnt react quickly enough to respond to the change of plans.
Her plan worked but that was luck more than anything. Not strategy or planning. It was impulsive and he was right to dole out punishment.

am i missing something? I thought he lost 200 men, not 1000.

i hate that it is now one episode a day but i have to say they really picked a good episode to start with because there is so much to say about ep 24

I'm pretty sure I saw a bts of him doing his own dubbing for chasing jade.

He doesn't hate her, he just feels like life is unfair and that a blood feud separates them and he can't be with her. Eventually he's like, screw this I love her and asks forgiveness from his family because he wants to be with her anyway.

HUGE SPOILER: Her family was rumored to have betrayed his leading to his father and clans deaths. He ends up taking a family punishment because he fell in love with her and refuses to lose her.

Nope, not in the novel at least. Both are very straight forward people.

I don't really know how to answer that. in the novel when they don't see each other it was only the time for them to do brief side quests alone (and I can't remember how long those took but it was maybe a couple months) for their own character arcs before meeting again and then they get together again pretty quickly

yes!!

Yes, at least in the novel. once when he leaves to go back to the army and his background is revealed. and once when they find out her background. both brief because these two are obsessed with each other.

There's another small matter that is revealed on why people are trying to assassinate her and what her family background is... but the separation is short because battle princess ml is a simp for his jock himbo wife.
