she re-married 3 times iirc. She got tired of not finding the right person lol.

Yep I am thinking the same as well. unfortunately that ep 29 trailer revealed a bit too much lol. I knew Tea Buddha was too good to be true!

Yup I knew there was smth up, but I had NO IDEA. This is the twistiest show I've watched in recent memory. The only thing I know now is to Trust the Process with Shanbao and that nothing can be taken at face value....

Neo has a lot of recognition and works hard, but I also hope that Nazha and the short drama actors' stocks have also risen and that they all have continued success!

He is not foolish. He is talented, morally upright, and more than capable. It's just that Rong Shanbao is that much more than his match. He even admits that he cannot even fathom doing the things she has to do, mainly by herself, to keep the Tea plantation business so successful.

She is introducing the next case for Jianglai to solve. And based on the episode 29 trailer, I have a feeling it is directly related to Yan Bailou.

I know he means well, but forcing Yunshu to do something she doesn't want to do (even if it's for her own good) isn't the right way. He gives her an ultimatum, which won't work for someone who has been harboring that much hatred and resentment for as long as Yunshu did...

She's not cold though! Madam Rong constantly rags her for being a softie (which she is). I guess those people hating don't understand that the outsiders' behavior are why the Rong women are the way they are. We have literally witnessed that most men in the show are either trying to hurt the Rongs due to a grievance or to exploit their wealth and status. They definitely have plenty of good reasons to be cut throat and unforgiving. The outside world is equally if not more ruthless...

Right?? He is obviously pissed off, but still has to admire how masterfully she handled things. She paid him back tenfold for going behind her back with Madam Yang and leaving her hanging at the altar lol...

The only thing Bao Bao doesn't seem to have much control over is her wedding lol :p

Justice for Scholar Bai lol! But seriously, I feel so bad for that guy. He really is a softie after all is said and done. I wonder what Shanbao told him and how that will fix (?) things...

The short answer is yes.

That trailer was INSANE! I KNEW TEA BUDDHA WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE LMAO

YOOOOOOO episode 27, especially the end of it, had me HOWLING. /clap CINEMA. Never bet against Rong Shanbao LOL.

I can't take anything at face value in this show lol. But end of episode 26 Shanbao actually confides to him that she doesn't know exactly what to do next. I did not get the sense that she was secretly planning to screw over Jianglai. The teasers are maddening though--they are giving me anxiety lol.

right?? Shanbao gave him the recommendation letter so he can be an official after he passes the Imperial exams...like why tf is he into killing her now?? My guess is that Lord Jiang has something on him, so he's been put in a position of having to go beyond what he would've actually wanted...

tbh, Bai made his own choices. He didn't HAVE to force Yunshu to just run away. IMO Bai's solution was really only good for him personally. He did not really care about why Yunshu did the things she did, nor did he try to find some other solution for her. Now that he is "evil Bai", he isn't even trying to help anyone any more. He's just targeting Shanbao and trying to harm/kill/exploit the Rong family like all the other creeps in the show...

Seems like Bai is more working for Lord Jiang--he is upset about Yunshu's betrayal and wants revenge on not just her, but the entire Rong family, paritcularly Shanbao (if we take it at face value). IMO I think that Bai trying to take out Shanbao just happens to align with what Yunshu wants as well.

Finally Tea Buddha actually DOES something!

Same! The way the show has been going, I do think we will get a happy ending of sorts. While there is a lot of conflict and tension, the tone of the show has been more about entertainment and "what's going to happen next" rather than trying to make you feel sad.
