It's not surprising. But i have faith in xlx. 😁

I did. How is he related to 2ml?

I also do not like that ljq would be requesting that marriage edict.
I'm not surprised everyone's upset with him, xlx and his elders. (Saw a post that said even his mom said he deserved the slap from xlx 😅)
I think he really was just desperate? Besides he has a love rival that seems to be more in sync with xlx and her current life, i think the zheng fiasco made him realize that xlx would be targeted by his enemies at court. It started with the zheng and it will be easy for his other enemies to find out about her too.
I keep remembering a scene in a trailer where the current emperor is in his deathbed and someone near it is staring daggers at ljq. Most probably that's prince han, angry that ljq successfully escorted the CP back to the capital and before the emperor died. So his enemy is going to be much more powerful. So he has to keep his most vulnerable weakness near him, and under the umbrella of his family. (The trailer scene where he's leaving the palace, he looked so grim)
Im sure he would rather patiently court xlx, but circumstances has changed.
And. He really really really wants her to be his wife. 😭😂 I'm sure if he didnt get to marry xlx, he wouldnt have married anyone else.
Still, it's unfair to xlx. Ljq deserves a few slaps from his wife. 😅

My sister makes sure to mute words to avoid getting spoiled (in genshin)
Personally, i dont mind. Most if the time, even if im spoiled, if done well the scene can still evoke emotions and that's good enough for me.

If im not mistaken, jinqi is going to die youngish around 50 y/o i think. Post tells of their last conversation. Then, xlx would live until she's 80y/o. She said this at an interview and i also saw some vids.

The actors. Their chemistry was suprising in In Blossom. So, hopefully we'll see them get paired in a drama.

Yes, i was surprised with lxy and zhhz's chemistry. I was a bit sad they had to face swap. 😅
I hope they get to collab in the future

Lacks logic. 😅 I dont remember the details, i only know i was disappointed with the direction of the story. And i dont mean the ending.ending was okay.
But yes, lxy's styling is 🔥

Haha! This.

Not my cup of tea too. 🙂

I think you meant grandpa lin basically chose to sacrifice his reputation. 🙂

I dont think she's thinking of love. But it wouldnt be surprising if Hanliang proposed, she would most probably accept it. From her noble background, she accepts arranged marriage is a thing. And her adoptive parents highly approves of Hanliang.

Iirc, in the character chart, hanliang is described as more than a friend but less than a lover

Haven't read the novel, but from how he's described, drama ML is a major upgrade. Not that drama ML is perfect.

Ep 23&24
Xlx and ji'er's reunion was so bittersweet.
Ji'er and ljq sort of reunion was sad.
I read somewhere that the brothel madam would sell her off ><

Hanliang and furong's plan was smart.
It's good that xlx finally realized who bought her plant.

What did ljq do with the madam's fan?
And when he did go see xlx, she was having a duet with hanliang again. I also think it's part guilt that he didnt go in.

Hanliang such a green flag, ljq really has to work hard to prove xlx that she wouldnt regret marrying him. >< Xlx really was laughing happily as she planned and sang with hanliang.
I almost never have 2nd ml syndrome, but hanliang is almost there. Haha

In the previews, the way the edict was worded if the translation is correct, xlx was being given to ljq as a reward. 😔
It seems lin grandpa is going to beat ljq. I'm glad his siblings gathered to comfort and entertain him. Per the trailer.
I have been wondering if the Lin elders learn that she's shen jialan would that appease them? Would they accept her because they owe her? Or would they just get rid of her because she's a danger? The last most probably.

If you think about it, she has already gone through one of the worst things that can happen to a person: death of her entire family, she even had to watch her women relatives choose death one by one. Then from there she had to continue living and rebuild her life.
Though tbh, she is only seem calm from the outside, du cui's murdering her maid shook her. Even in the brothel, she's more agitated, and was already considering weapons.

I was surprised when he actually stomped on it. So petty. 😂

I can't because it surprised the hell out of me 😂

@ep14 how disgusting for them to send a woman to save their asses.
Can we throw away the entire family?

He would be 🥲

Scaring her and ruining her reputation are in different levels.
