Without the gunpowder, there wouldn't be a propellant for the fireworks or to explode the outer shell to ignite the metal salts (what is perceived as "fireworks" colored sparks) on the inside. Gunpowder is the main component, the metal salts are only a fraction of the "firework". That's why most are controlled sales only. Metal salts was discovered even earlier in China than gunpowder.
They actually combined his character with another from the novel.... and poorly at that. But i guess it was to…
I sincerely hope so, because I love how he was rewritten/reimagined in the series thus far. The character he was combined with did not have the luxury to know FCY well, so what that character said in the novel did not quite hit as hard for the reader. I think in the show, it was utter betrayal because we've seen so many interactions from them, that he really should have known her better than to spout that nonsense.
Very well put, # of high target kills was not the goal for our Marquis. Keeping the city safe was. His priorities as the leader is very clear bc he pivots so well to align with his goals during battles. People complaining he doesn't have enough personal kills are keeping a strange tally between the FL and ML.
I am really disappointed with Li Huai An. He took out his failings on FCY. After the past skirmishes/battles,…
They actually combined his character with another from the novel.... and poorly at that. But i guess it was to give him a reason to fully side with his faction/family's agenda now. Tragic, bc I really liked his character up until now.
The phrase “I have things to do, do not look for me” didn't hit right for me for a historical drama.
If you're watching via netflix, they to tend use interpretation more so than direct translating, so sometimes period phrases becomes too modern, because they try to match modern meaning/language/slang.
The chaotic energy is gone and now it's time for some calm reflection and problem solving..... but why is my anxiety ramping up like this is the calm before the storm? Oh yah, because I had to go and read the novel 😭😭😭 What needs to be in my hurricane preparedness pack?
I can see the gaslighting a little, but I personally view it as for every action (usually his lying) there is…
I am sorry if my comment seemed confrontational at the end. That was not my intention. I am sincerely asking bc you seemed so triggered by my comment explaining how i saw the gaslighting..... and you assumed i was agreeing with that logic. Some people on here only see their side and any other opposition is deemed wrong.
I countered your assumption with one of my own and I am sorry for that.

Lol I wasn't giving an opinion one way or the other. Nor am I excusing any of mistakes on either side. I am saying I understand the logic of how the defenders got from point A to point B and the plot device that it is.
If you are looking for a fight and not a discussion, then maybe the discussion forum is not for you.
The discussion is honestly getting ridiculous. People are acting like Chang Yu committed some unforgivable crime…
It's not that they're not admitting to it. It's that most of us have never been put in a position to even consider what we would do in that situation. And I pray we all never have to, bc that means someone you love is in immediate danger. So if that means a lot of non-empathetic opinions bc someone can't even fathom the situation so be it. For those who think they aren't capable, trust me, you won't know what lengths you're capable of until that very second.
Also its high time we bring back Qi Min from vacation. I think he has enough fun with his wife and child. Nope…
Even they couldn't stand to watch the very deep hole the Marquis was digging himself inside his circus of a military camp. 🤣 Or they needed to take a break from the 1 episode a day, and rejoin us once it's back up to 2 a day.
Sorry, chemist. I will stop nerding out.
I countered your assumption with one of my own and I am sorry for that.
