This was beautifully done!

The drama has finally fully returned to its wonderful self again. 🤗The conclusion of Du Cuique's return and the pirate arc was beautifully done. Lanxiang and all the women from the Lin residence were so brave to stand against her and her pirate army of men armed with daggers and knives... Yet, none of them were brave enough to stand against oil and fire... Except for the crazy Cuique... For a moment I was scared for Lanxiang, but Xiuru intervened and got the satisfaction of revenge. 😌Jinqi fought like a beast. Oh, I loved him like this — fierce, determined, strong, and ruthless. 👏 But for a moment I was so afraid that one of our trio would die... I would really hate the writers if they killed Nanke, Jiugao, or Jinqi. 🫣P.S. Jinqiao's wife irritated me again... At least the Second Madam was sane enough not to encourage her further in disobeying Lanxiang's instructions.

It all started with an orchid… and how many kidnappers does it take to really kidnap Lan Xiang?

Ms Zheng is introduced to the Lin family and has very nice gifts for the sisters. The moms are plotting and she is the matriarch’s personal choice for JinQi. 9if she only knew😝🙄) she is Ms Zhao 2.0 or higher and far more lethal. LanXiang is learning a trade and wasn’t even aware. 🤣 Scholar Lu has been grooming her to take over for him so he can have more time to be lazy.🤣 I also think this is his way to assist the Shens by teaching her something she actually enjoys as a way to make a living. I like that he looks out for her subtly and the Xu family unaware of his Shen connections or his own past experience with purging. Jiu Tao turns up timely to get JinQi out of a forced meeting with his gma and bride candidate. He and the Marquis knows there is rumors about the deposed prince but they only have a child sketch to go with. Ms Zheng notes the orchid and shares poetry line with Lin who responds with his preference for a completely different poem and author. When she discusses it at home the Duke makes the connection that JinQi gave a subtle refusal to the alliance and will not help the Duke politically. He is not discouraged at all but doubles down on his beautiful daughter roping him in a f the parents overriding JinQi’s ability to refuse. He’s already been there done that with QiaLan so hopefully he will have measures in place to avoid their machinations. Ms. Heng figures out quickly the story behind the orchid and traces it to LanXiang. She is confident once LamXiang sells it that there is no real feelings there. LanXiang thinks the orchid is from Yuchan and plans on sharing the money with her. But even if she knew it was from JinQi, I still think she would have sold it. 🤣He knows better than most that silver comes first for her and why. What is unnerving is how she destroyed the orchid and have every intention of doing that to LanXiang. The coldness of the action does not bode well for LanXiang or JinQi. She is watching Furing perform when a man struggling with props passes by. She offers to assist and finds herself knocked out in a trunk with Scholar Han. Not only that, they are in a chest to be opened on stage at Furing’s opera performance. Thinking on her feet, LanXiang creates the ghost of the trunk and her friend shuts it quickly and plays up the ghost part til end of story. She is under the impression that Han has a rival rather than somebody after LanXiang, but our girl has the right if it. She did not complete her kidnapper sketch because she is again kidnapped at the door. Going to the Duke’s house kidnapper one has a cruel fate and even Ms Zheng is appalled at the cruelty of her father. She plays along to placate him and to get JinQi. LanXiang is literally getting shipped down river. They all realize now she is the target and JinQi shows up with the partial sketch. Here if uncle Liu tells what he knows JinQi will get him out safely. It’s quite likely this is the deposed prince they are looking for. We get a glimpse of where LanXiang ends up and Ji’Er is there to greet her.

Officer Rabbit

I like how they tease each other with sly old fox and officer rabbit.🤣🥰 He also went with beauty and the beast to assure he he could be a monster too.🤣 Tonight was the proving ground to set up his nemesis. He has quite a history of destroying people. I had no clue his partner’s family was completely wiped out with the scheme. Wen even knew in advance but rather than warning everybody, he let things ride and promoted XinZhi to project manager to take the fall. The man really has no conscience.😡 Bu TianNa and Zhao Heng show up to network. Xu Chi and XinZhi will help with introductions. This will be the first time Bu TianNa makes her own contacts aside from the family. Zhao Heng runs into two college roomies that make it a point to mock his frugalness in front of their gf’s. Bu TianNa overhears and comes rescue him. She had her own way of putting them in their place and then told them to get out of her way so she could exit.🤣👏🏻 We still don’t have Zhao Heng’s backstory but he obviously came from a poor family and fought his way through the prejudice. He was happy and surprised she stood up for him. It was a new experience. I like these two.🥰 They suit each other nicely and have strengths complementary to the other’s weakness. They work nicely as a team and as a pair. Xin Zhi and Xu Chu start their plan with Wen. Here Xu Chi surprises him with her using astrological and behavioral info to feed into his expected traits and play up to them. She even through a tantrum at the guy to spur things on. She has hidden in the contract that if Wen’s digital artifacts drop below 70% of value, Morse will own them. XinZhi tells her how when they first met he saw a beautiful strong and capable woman that shone brightly.🥰 He still shies away from kiss initiating.🙄But he’s gaining ground getting closer to her and admiring her talents. She has the backstory of the crimes Wen got away with and is as determined as XinZhi to get justice. Du brings up a point he ponders. Du is chatting away like he does and surprised his friend so taken with and distracted by Xu Chi. He teases him about losing his edge. This is the first time XinZhi considers her surpassing him. It’s a daunting thought, but he wants her to do well and soar, accepting that she may just indeed surpass him. And here is where I wonder if Du sewed a seed of doubt making XinZhi wonder if she’d still be interested in him when that day comes and he is no longer her legend but just the man that loves her.

Peak intimacy!

The way they portrayed that sweet bliss of the honeymoon stage wrapped up with Dean's anxiousness, fragility and self-depreciating quality hits so raw. We can actually see how much courage he mustered up to confess to moth!Also this episode depicts that Moth almost dropped all his defences and is genuinely interested in Dean for his personality. As for tenpunn I'm so happy for them !!!!It was a nice twist to add that Punn also found out info about ten the way ten did. And Both of the couples showed different tastes of love and it is fairly so cute.I know the next ep is going to be bitter as hell but hey! atleast there will be 3 other eps to make up to it.
