Just realised the screenwriter is from Yanxi palace omg no wonder the plot is plotting
That’s why the men are acting like the harem in Yanxi palace. It’s like the writer decided since harem dramas are banned, let me make them men instead!
ZJM is very good indeed. If you like historical dramas, check her out in The Princess Royal. If you like slowburn…
I wouldn’t recommend that one if you hate baby mannerisms…😬 her character acted like she was afraid of intimacy. she was clearly directed that way but it still bothered me so much I dropped it
SPOILERS Not sure if this was commented upon as I can’t catch up on all the comments—Did y’all catch how…
I took it as he had some feelings towards her but she didn’t return them because she didn’t like where they both were in life money/class wise. So they were in an ambiguous state for a long time till xiguang came and sped things up. This made them react differently, Ye Rong not wanting to let go of her safe choice and ZX still affected by the ambiguity he received from YR and carrying the resentment over to xiguang (fueled by YR)
edit: sorry y’all I got her status confused with the Sheng cousin
