A Distance That Teaches the Heart to Feel

Finally, a smart male lead. Shu Lang will keep digging until he finds every answer, because that’s the kind of love he gives quiet, determined, and unwilling to let things slip through the cracks.Taking a break from each other was the only move left, and it hurts so much more than either of them expected. When you step away, even for a moment, that empty space forces you to realise just how much that person means to you. The silence becomes a reminder of everything you shared and everything you’re afraid of losing.Fan Xiao is standing at a painful crossroads. He can choose to be honest and tell Shu Lang the truth now, even if it breaks him, or he can stay quiet and let Shu Lang discover it on his own. And if that happens, the distance between them will grow into something much heavier. The longer the truth stays hidden, the harder it will hit when it finally comes out.

This episode as pretty good, as the ML &…

This episode as pretty good, as the ML & FL start to take rough, awkward steps towards reconciliation within the formalities required for their marriage, as required by the Ghostly Eulogy. The only negative part of this episode was having to endure a long 6-minutes-that-felt-like-30-minutes shameless appeal for sympathy/proxy guilt by Bai Xiao Sheng, thrown at Yun Hui as he once again confesses. In this, he plays the 'woe is me I was abandoned by my mother' card, trying to guilt her into accepting him. Listening to this crap seemed to go on forever and was only saved by her polite but firm rejection. At this point, I really wish the writers would stop with all the screen time devoted to BXS trying to control and manipulate Yan Hui. Especially with trying to make it 'funny'. He's a serial liar and multiple-time murderer. It isn't funny.

Power shifts

The battle is halted and both sides part ways for now. LianYue is chastised by Prince of Longya for not identifying all the young men effected by puppet poison. The Prince does seem to be getting his affairs in order and giving final plans and wishes to those around him. Uncle Zhe has arrived and he has taken the option for power transfer between him and MuYu. He recognizes that neither MuYu or his daughter will alter their plans so he empowers MuYu as much as possible and suggests a quiet life in Na’an clinic when this is all sorted. Changhe has successfully reached 9th level hell palm but learns after the fact there is serious backlash if used. First Prince continues to be an annoying prat but that seems what his role is to be. He isn’t happy that Changhe has a very detailed account of Blood River members and is well aware of what’s been happening. The eunuch gives him a 50/50 chance of being able to kill the first Prince. He is such a cowardly weasel that I don’t think he will be missed, but the powers that be seem to accept he will be on the throne. 😝 I really want another option. He doesn’t need puppet poison, he is already eunuch’s puppet.😝They are preparing for confrontation to finish it and with golden puppet the sides are too close with first prince having the edge. I still find Lianyue’s character lesser since he has returned. I don’t know if that is by design to follow story, but I find myself as disappointed in him as Rabbit is and I am unconvinced by the Prince’s words as she is. I was so hopeful for these two initially, but if this is the extent of his character now, she is better off without him.
