Once again, Savior Lanxiang in da place !

"You can't trample on others just because you want a better life." - LanxiangDu Cuique... Her motive to do all that was that as a woman of that era, she was asked to only aspire to marry when she wanted a career of her own? HmmI feel for her, I get why she laughed hysterically when no one would understand why she does not see marriage as the ultimate thing she wants in her life. But to go to the point of killing just to marry rich and have better options, that was going to far. I really like the clapback Lanxiang gave her with her story. Letting her, and everyone knows such women exist, even though they did not have it easy, they lived according to their wish so what Cuiqe wanted was not impossible, it was just not the easy road.Xiuwan, follish til the end... Thanks Xiuru for shutting her up by reminding her how selfish she was moving with her idyll.He's not even hiding his interest anymore, lol. The man fell first and hard. Because what do you mean, now he just smiles when looking at her, even from afar?He was so cute when he was flustered after she caught him looking at her, please.The man just touch her with no worry or care about social status now, he even drinks from her cup. And when she let him know, he just flashes his dimple and pretty smile!How he followed her, worried she would trip & fall so he was always ready to catch her anytime. The way he sat on the stone stair and they were at the same level? 😍 aaaaaah Also, he feels comfortable enough to confide his grief to her? And here comes our favorite girl always having the right words and telling him he's a good person!Help! Somebody catch me while I'm melting. 🫠🫠🫠The romance hasn't even begin and I'm already half gone 😆P.S: the look he gave her when she replied he feels awful because he's a good person, mama! Like he was shocked she had a good opinion of him? Like an arrow bearing Lanxiang's name pierced his heart? Drunk Lanxiang sealed her fate of being his one & only right there. 🥰P.P.S: no comment on the fact that he carried her to her bedroom after she fell asleep on the stairs! Instead of showing us orchids, they should have shown us her in his arm!!! 😏

Lanxiang to the rescue!

It's a joke? Xiuwan really dared to have a secret relationship with Du Zheng?! And I don't even really blame her, that's probably how she was raised, to worry about who she's going to marry and be a good wife, and she's also young (even though the shy sister is younger yet could tell something is off) and had an easy life (you can tell with the way she's acting spoiled). These sibling are really trying their best to enter the Lin family, huhNow Jinqi whispers into Lanxiang's ears any chance he gets? Ouuuuh And he even touched her shoulder? Wasn't any form of skinship between man and woman, regardless of their status, a big thing back then? Why were they all panicking because Jinqi wasn't in the residence? It's not like they never lived without him, he's been to war. Plus, even if he was there, what could he possibly do? hmfOnce again, quick-witted Lanxiang to the rescue! That flower drop, so subtil yet so powerful. If this family does not easily give her and her parents their requested freedom once they'll ask for it, I will riot! lol

Nonchalant Young Master is falling hehehe

He's getting more and more intrigued by "his maid". He keeps worrying about her wound and even went out of his way to get her some ointment? HmmmAnd that little teasing when he told her "So there are things you don't know?"? HmmmThat airheaded of Xiuwan is going to create trouble with her imaginary romance with a man she only saw twice, but I think it might through her they will uncover the scheming Du siblings.Also, I thought it would have been the seemingly very shy Xiuru that would have been used by Cuiqe but she seemed to have noticed Cuiqe is trouble.P.S: is it me and my delusional self or did Jinqi tried to match Lanxiang steps when they left the garrison? ^^

New PTSD

Another stressing episode 😵‍💫 By the end of the show I will have gray hair, I swear 😆When Lan Xiang stepped in to go into the enemy's den, I was like why? Don't you want to lay low? Now she has a new PTSD... 😠Buuuut, she caught Young Master Jin Qi's attention even more now. He was a bit intrigues by her, now he fully is. The way she gave him a new perspective about the servant lives and he got to witness her words turned into action under his own eyes, she will linger in his mind. hehehe(when he will fall, he's going to fall hard and won't even realize when it all started, can't wait 😁)That other maid (can't recall her name, sorry ><) who was almost sold by her family, ugh why is everyone's life so painful and tragic 😭😭😭 (I know why but it's still so sad to see, got to complain (crying Moon))P.S: we all agree Jiu Guao has a thing for Yu Chan, right? The little sweet treat under the disguise of "These didn't sell" was so cute. ^^

A Glimpse in the Mirror

I love the windows into the story and the glimpses into the relationships that we are being shown…purposely. The editing is masterful! Jumping the viewer forwards and backwards through the story. Highlighting certain scenes and muting others. Subtlety is being used like a knife….precision cuts. The way the relationships are braided and folded through the story looks completely effortless. The vulnerability present in this episode is so beautiful! There are scenes that take my breath away! And moments I wish the characters could stay in forever. The conclusion of the Blind Date event was a true look in the mirror. It told us how Dean, Moth, Ten, and Pun view themselves and their respective romantic partner(s). The event also provided a perspective outside of the “fish tank” which was very interesting! What will be brought to our attention next….

Duke, remember the lesson of the great scholar Shen

In a moment of high tension, Lin Jin Qi lights the fuse that destroys the weapons depot. He collapses to the ground amidst sparks and flying gunpowder debris, blood spilling from his mouth. His enemy, Prince Han, refuses to accept defeat, declaring he will not rest until Lin Jin Qi is dead, and urges his soldiers to capture him. Jiu Gao arrives on horseback; in slow motion, he reaches out to help his friend, who is swaying unsteadily but manages to grasp Jiu Gao's hand. They succeed, and Lin Jin Qi climbs onto the back of his friend's horse.Later, in the forest on a freezing night, a badly wounded and exhausted Lin Jin Qi leans against a tree. Jiu Gao is reluctant to leave him alone, but Commander Lin Jin Qi orders him to alert a certain Duke and have him send troops to protect the King. Jiu Gao worries that the stubborn Duke will ignore the request, but Lin Jin Qi explains that the Duke has a vested interest in the matter due to past events. He tells him: "Duke, remember the lesson of the great scholar Shen." Reluctantly and fearing for Lin Jin Qi's life, Jiu Gao finally leaves, but only after Lin Jin Qi pushes him, urging him to hurry.On the road near the carriage, Jia Lan urges the troops stationed there to go to Lin Jin Qi's aid, as she is uncertain if he has survived. She realizes from the gunpowder smoke that Lin Jin Qi succeeded in his mission, yet Prince Han still possesses the strength to overthrow the King. Torn between their orders to escort Jia Lan to the manor and the need to help Lin Jin Qi, the apprehensive soldiers rush off to find him. In the imperial hall, Secretary Zhao and his stepson attempt to deceive the king and lure him out of the palace's protection. However, the emperor senses their malicious intent, thanks to the scholar Han, who offers a different perspective on the matter. Consequently, the two are arrested, and the king sets out with a plan of his own to thwart Prince Han.Lin Jin Qi’s ailing brother is hiding in a secluded room with the family’s women and a child; the child’s crying draws the attention of nearby enemy soldiers. To divert suspicion, he steps out carrying the child in his arms, telling the soldiers that he has tuberculosis and the girl is mute. Fearing his illness, the soldiers leave them be. Jin Lam then coughs up blood but immediately swallows a ball of ice to hide it from his wife and the other women. When he returns to the room and reunites with his wife, their hopes are renewed, and they are filled with joy.On a forest path, enemy soldiers are closing in on Lin Jin Qi, who is hiding behind a tree; struggling to stay conscious, he can barely load gunpowder into his pistol. Suddenly, a small troop sent by Jia Lam arrives and engages Prince Han’s soldiers. From behind the tree, Lin Jin Qi smiles at their boldness and the way they joke even in the face of the enemy.While the soldiers clash nearby, Jia Lam approaches unnoticed. Startled, Lin Jin Qi raises his unloaded pistol but quickly drops it. It is Jia Lam; she says, "It’s me, Jia Lam."She manages to help him onto a horse, where he slumps forward. She feeds brown sugar to the horse and offers some to Lin Jin Qi as well; he complains about it. Just as she is about to playfully scold him, he faints, blood spilling from his mouth. She takes him to a cave and gives him water mixed with medicine. He wakes up and tries to help her learn how to use the pistol. It is a near-romantic, life-or-death moment between them. The episode ends there. Let's move on to episode 36.

It won't be that easy

It won't be easy to take down Blind Du. Even if he's blind, it impossible to hide anything from him I wouldn't be surprised if he even knew it's not the real Lyu Ruhui who just joined his branch. 🫣 And I don't know why, but I am not really trusting Silly Liang either. He's chill, but he could as easily be a spy to keep an eye on "Lyu Ruhui". 🤨​But what I am most excited about is that Feiyan is nearby. I want to see how them seeing each other will go. And I am quite sure she will recognize him, but will she be a threat to his alias? 🫢​And my personal opinion is that Master Jin is the most skilled of them all. 😅
