both the bottoms kinda annoyed me in this…

both the bottoms kinda annoyed me in this ep - took me freakin ages to sit through this, cause of their antics. but will admit i get Phat's POV, even if Bay wasn't a player, Phat having lived with his sister & mother witnessing 1st hand how men played both & how it turned them bitter & reclusive, logical that he would be very weary of getting into a relationship with a saint, let alone a player like Bay. who could change his mind in a sec & break Phat's heart irrevocably... so i got him. *********************** but with Junji, it felt like he was enjoying 2 guys fight over him. even if he knew he would never give Art a 2nd chance, for him it was a great ego massage that both Art & Hill were fighting & working so hard over him. that's why he waited until the end of the ep to go to Hill. & then too he waited for Hill to say his peace, apologize & then confess. **************************************while the whole while i was thinking that Hill deserved better & with all due respect to the fact that Yuka is based on Junji, she isn't him - a simulation game character was the one that was doing the job they were programed to do; supporting, encouraging & helping Hill - not Junji. so what if Yuka was based on Junji's personality? she was a combination of all the people working in Junji's company & on her simulation game - so going along those lines he should've fallen for & confessed to everyone in that company!

Probably the most meaningful episode yet

This episode did the most to move the plots along since the beginning. For the Hua family's Imperial punishment plot, this episode finally saw the men start their journey to exile. This episode also used that to trigger a final come-to-terms moment between Hua Zhi and all the rest of the women as they once again made a stupid mistake that resulted in brutal consequences for her. This pushed her to the edge of considering severing ties with her family. And the third major plot thread - the romance - gets a major boost as the two leads finally spend some 'quality time' together as the ML shows up to help her out when she is beaten and alone. All in all, because of all the forward progress on the three major plot lines, this is easily my favorite episode so far.

Market lord’s history

BeiLu is trying to get to the timerift marketplace to warn BiZhi that Ning is searching for him. BiZhi has heard the backstory of the market lord and promised to look into what happened to her village. The back story of the Dashun jade was a path of betrayal. A greedy thief was selling artifacts on the sly and then stealing them again for the warehouse. Ning was pushed off a cliff because the friend she was trying to rescue did not want to turn himself in. She lost her leg as a result. This made her willing to give harsh punishment to the seller that accidentally revealed location of goods to BiZhi. We also see the relationship of the market lord and her aide. He persuaded her to leave her time to be a time administrator and then stayed with her in the market place. BeiLu is intensifying his efforts to find entrance to the time rift market to warn BiZhi . BiZhi is working from his time to stop the thieves from collecting rare artifacts by killing the owners/creators in their time eras and selling these items in exclusive auctions to future buyers.
