They got married with the plan to divorce after a brief time and go their own way. He asked SRQ to escort her at the wedding as a "gift" to her. They are just now communicating their feelings for each other and FL is still sorting through 20 years of experiences and emotions.

You say you're neutral but you blame Li Rong for everything other people do including SRQ. I'm working with information that's shown now, not previews and not the book because I haven't read it and I'm not interested in it. I'm not biased, I'm just not saying what you want to hear lol.

Honestly, the king is just a terrible father. He keeps pitting them against each other then he'll act shocked when it inevitably leads to the siblings trying to kill each other.

What did Li Rong do wrong though? She didn't compliment SRQ. She didn't invite him to play. She can't be openly saying or signaling their intentions in the middle of court and PWX isn't stupid, he knows why she chose to perform. Also, she was using a memory from her past with SRQ to perform which would explain her looking at him, especially when he joined in. Why is SRQ coveting her now her fault? Lol.

As I said, that's his perspective. Until they show anything different, that's what I have to work with.

I think it's so interesting seeing things from SRQ's POV cos while Li Rong is thinking of how to get power to protect people and keep Chuan on the right track, SRQ is simply trying to stop a tyrant from gaining the throne. He suffered the consequences of Chuan's tyranny in a way that Li Rong and PWX will never understand so to him, this is a case of stopping baby Hitler and he's the hero of his own story.

I laughed at how the baby royals plan to show off turned into a concert for Li Rong and her men 😂 would've been even funnier if the prince had fallen on his ass cos why does he think he's better than Chuan who's been to and won an actual battle? Definitely a "kids say the darndest things" scenario. Once again, I wonder why these emperors bother having children when they hate their own children and live in constant fear of being replaced. The emperor treating Chuan like garbage because the boy is growing up to do the thing he was raised to do really irks me.

At this point Li Rong must know that SRQ has the same memories, right? The performance felt like the chess match between Li Rong and PWX that led to their own revelation about having past life memories. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's episodes!

Oh Lord! I forgot she was introduced as a bodyguard.

That would be so tragic but I'm starting to think that's what happened too.

That's why I said he's misguided. We also got from his inner monologue that he wants to protect his family AND Li Rong which in his mind is removing Li Rong from all things politics and power related. I doubt he'd be sitting there lying to himself about his own intentions, that's why I hope we get more from his POV so I can understand him better. He will eventually have to choose between his family and Li Rong since he isn't open to changing the status quo.

Also not saying him possibly killing LR is why people hate him, just that I can see why he may have done it back then.

Episode 22 is now making me wonder who actually killed Li Rong in their past life. SRQ does not seem like he hated her or plotted to kill her cos he's genuinely trying to protect her even if his actions are misguided cos he doesn't understand her or her intentions. I also wonder when he died in the previous life, cos he should've lived for some time after Li Rong and PWX died but it feels like they all died together. Unless I missed something from the beginning.

Unlike most people, I don't hate SRQ and even if he did kill Li Rong the first time, his entire family was wiped out and instead of dying with them, he was castrated and forced to live with someone he may have seen as partially responsible for their deaths. He may even have hated himself for loving Li Rong at all. I just don't know his true motivations cos we're only seeing now that he also remembers their previous life so maybe we can start getting more insight into his character.

Oh, I really hope Li Rong stops dismissing her suspicion about SRQ remembering the past cos she's been getting that vibe from him for a while now. Maybe PWX will find a way to test SRQ so they can confirm. Maybe all three of them need to have a chat and clear up the misunderstanding from the past cos from what I can see, they could actually just work together to secure the future of the families and the nation. Just like Shangguan Ya, SRQ could be the future of the Su family and adapt rather than just trying to force outdated traditions on a changing nation. (I know, I know, it's the love triangle.)

Hua Zheng showing up only to be rejected by Guo Jing, then wash, rinse, repeat every 3 to 5 business days like she has amnesia anytime he leaves her is making me lose my sanity.

I've been wondering if SRQ remembers the past life too and when Li Rong mentioned how he kept peonies in her palace because he thought they were her favorite flower, I realized he must because he's still operating on past knowledge now - he still thinks peonies are her favorite.

I also want to add that I really like Li Rong as a character. She's not against the noble families really, she just wants a balance so her family can rule in peace. She's not using her new office to attack the nobles indiscriminately, but the corruption is so vast and so deep, that simply investigating it shakes them to their core. The royal family is far from perfect, but I'm never going to be mad at someone who's actually trying to make things better for everyone and not just the privileged few.

As for the romance, PWX knows what's up and he knows what he's doing so I'm not worried. Li Rong will eventually get there and while people may be pissed at her for not jumping right in, she's still working through a literal lifetime of thinking that man hated her and was using her for power. Even knowing that SRQ may have killed her is nothing compared to the years that SRQ spent devoted to her. All that doesn't just disappear over a few months. Not to mention the upbringing that drilled into her that love is simply a tool for manipulation and everyone wants something from you. She's finding her way, slowly but surely.

Magical surgeries aside, I lost hope when YNX just lost all her martial arts abilities the moment JXB entered the picture. She keeps getting kidnapped, trapped, etc in typical damsel in distress fashion when she was introduced as a character with competent fighting skills. What happened to all the needles she used to defend herself way back when? What happened to the character we met in the beginning? It's all very disappointing cos I was hoping for more than this.

23 eps in and Suo Luo is still the biggest idiot in the show. She claims she wants to be included but turns on her family at the slightest opportunity. Anytime JXB tries to talk to her all she does is antagonize and then later start whining about how he doesn't care about her. Nobody would like having a brat like you as a sibling, Suo Luo. She's such an entitled brat, I don't think I even care about a redemption arc at this point. She can kick rocks. At least the bad guys are motivated by greed. I can't even make excuses for Suo Luo's behaviour.

I'm just back again to say what a waste of space the Daechi Chase director has been throughout the crisis at the academy. In fact, he should resign and hand over the academy to someone competent like the counselor. The organization is going through it's worst time and all he does is get drunk and cry about it while everyone else is scrambling to save the business. I hope this ends with Daechi Chase dismantled and all the good tutors going to work for the counselor at her new academy. I hate the thought of anyone working to put money in that man's pockets. Has he even spoken to any of the tutors? Has he reassured them or even presented a plan to keep the business afloat? He couldn't even stop the Vice Director from taking information and materials from Daechi Chase after she left. I truly despise that man.

I'm just watching ep 13 and that male tutor turning out to be a total loser is not surprising at all. Whining about being "deceived" because a woman who was never interested in you started dating someone else is peak incel behavior.

I was very frustrated by the director taking no action from the time Seo Hye Jin told him about the vice director's plans. He's really incompetent and the fact that the academy has been successful this whole time is truly a miracle. All the women in the place keep it running but he gets to run around as the big boss while being completely useless. I am hoping for some actual leadership from him soon but I won't hold my breath.

Anyway, everyone knows about Jun Ho and SHJ now so they can all be dramatic and pretend they're offended rather than just envious lol. I imagine there will be quite a storm ahead as tutors and students are expected to make a beeline for the exit.

why does everyone expect Yang Kang to just turn around and murder the man he called his father for his whole life? that would make him a sociopath and not a hero. I'm not surprised he let the man go cos again, that's his father. the blame is on his mother for not telling him who he is and allowing him to fully believe that man is his father. even if he was the hero they want him to be, it would still take a minute to get to the point of being ready to take his father's life.

Not INCOGNITO MODE 🤣😭🤣

Whenever the Li family ran to that cave for a meeting I was rolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I thought I was the only one 😂

I had so much fun with this drama. I'm always happy when I find a gem like this unexpectedly. It was a lot better than I hoped and sooo entertaining.

I just need to shout-out Su Su's accessories. Anytime I see one of those rings come into frame, I feel very reassured. I love that she had very dramatic rings too cos her outfits were mostly understated. 10/10
