Noticed and safe

Such a relief they got out unscathed and even befriended Scholar Shouyi. Jialan was so clever to use her grandfather's teachings, and knowing Feng Shouyi was rejected by him! I bet we're gonna visit Qixia Academy at some point. 😌😮‍💨And even though Jialan's spy career for Jinqi wasn't long, she has caught his attention, because from her conversation with Feng Shouyi, he noticed she's not an ordinary maid. 😏And I am so amazed by Li Meng's talent. All the emotions Xingtang had, the body language and facial expressions — beautiful. 👏 I can't hate that character. Fate and the Zhao family, combined with her own mistakes, have put her where she is now, but I genuinely hope she can get her freedom and live the life she deserves. 🥺And our trio... They are so adorable. I love their sisterhood!🤗🥹

This was so intense

The library scene was so intense... I felt every move Xingtang made to escape, and her anxiety rising with each path getting cut until there was nowhere to run. 🫣 But kudos to Jinqi for the clever trap to get out of the unwanted marriage! 👏But I don't blame Xingtang for being that bitter and having all her outbursts. She lived a bit of a miserable life. Yes, it wasn't a life-or-death struggle, but it was a different kind of misery. She was shackled by her own family, married off while loving another man—with them knowing about it and hiding it from the new husband—suffering a miscarriage and losing the ability to ever have children again, and in the end, her lover turning his back on her while she was protecting him. I have no idea what will happen to her life now. 😔However, I am super anxious about whether Xiaolian and Lanxiang will get caught or not. 😟😬

Cool your head

"Crushing what is old, useless and rotten to create a new country. That's my justice" - Oda Nobunaga said to his wife, Noh-hime."Anger can revert to happiness. Resentment can revert to joy. But a vanquished state cannot be revived, the dead cannot be brought back to life..." - Sun Tzu's The Art of War."Don't let personal anger and resentment start a battle. A dead person cannot come back to life", Kuroda Mototaka, Kanbe's father borrowed Sun Tzu's words to tell his son."Cool your head", said Kanbe's grandfather.By the way, Uchida Yuki played Nobunaga's wife. I'm so happy!

Loved them so affectionate!

They were sneaking so their aides wouldn't see them... really? 🤭 I loved watching them be so affectionate with each other. This is what I want to see from now on... no more misunderstandings between our leads, please! 🙏🥰Lu Peng accidentally eavesdropping on the City Owner and Chuchu — what is he gonna do with that info? He looked afraid. AND why did Su Mu still choose to walk away from Yuanyuan even knowing how bad Lu Peng is? That's the difference when someone does or doesn't have feelings for someone else. The one who does will always try to make the supposedly right and less selfish choice, even if in truth it's far from the best. 😔

sucks man. i got to see yuma in another low+cut top though.

this ending kind’ve sucks ewit32ewkoioqodko especially the actual ending it just felt like ’ ’ oh ，that was it ’ ’ I’m not in love with the kawamura family conclusion ，I’m impartial to it. it’s just fine. i get what they wanted say. the sawayama family was also a disaster. yuna said something really interesting at the start where she comes back to confessing to her father about the insecurity she feels being born a daughter & being shut out of the kabuki tradition. there’s an entirely different cjaracgter story waiting for her if we touch upon that more than just letting her vent this out solely through romantic possession over yuma. & then yuta started pissing me off because it’s literally too late in the game to start getting snappy with ayame. this was off+set by the fact that he had a moment of jealousy & acted incredibly rationally for the better of ayame. but eh. this isn’t as great as i was hoping it’d be. the show was a great time though.
