Motives of the heart

Did I get it right? The delegation here is to kill someone? And Marquis Muyang is behind it? I will pretend that I am shocked... 🫢🤨I wonder if Su Zuidie will act in some way to get between Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li. 🤔 It looks like she still has some feelings for him, but if she chooses to act on them, she had better get ready, because Ye Li might deal with her in so many unimaginable ways! 🤭Also, love at first sight for Qin Cang? Maybe he did fall for Tinglan, but her offer clearly showed she had completely different reasons for approaching him. Maybe she likes him too, who knows, but he definitely doesn't think so anymore. 🤷‍♀️ Also, did Tianyang look at Tinglan as if he liked her? Maybe it was just a camera angle, I'm not sure, but if that's the case, then there will be one more thing for the brothers to be jealous about... 🤨I am waiting for Feng Zhiyao to learn that Yan is Princess Lingyan, and for her to learn that he is one of Prince Ding's closest right-hand men, because that might actually stir up the plans of all parties a little, I think! 🤭

i really enjoyed eguchi. i accidentally spoiled myself & knew toriizaki wasn’t cygnus but i found the black swan spin lovely ，he’s an easy character to love. i really wish these class+mates were reoccuring because i do love him a lot. i see how tomoko & ryusei get shipped ，i do love their dynamic a lot & he allows tomoko to get even more qweirder. shocked his wrist injury didn’t paly into anything when something similar happened literally the zodiart before this. beause i like amano kousei i am scared his death±timer is ticking but i like how testy cancer is to him. they’ve ended up right where they should be. i completely forge about the fourth zodiarts present. i acgtually don’t have this much to say about the episode i am literally just rambling.

Finding the humor in a bad situation

YiFei messed up scaring QianFei and grabbing the wheel. It isn’t surprising they went off-road. After the scary stories they went for exercising to keep warm. Old man therapy🤣😂 They play like kids and go back in car to sleep. They get rescued by a local farmer and when driving to station Qian Fei gets email with the data they needed. Their bit of kindness was rewarded. She heads home to study data and YiFei is tricked into thinks his dad hurt. He goes home to find his dad had a barely sprained ankle.😝 He is talked into lunch and chided for being so quiet. He reminds Yi Fein reminds his dad he was just following dad’s rules. Father and son chats about business and YiFei makes it clear he wants to make his own company. He is also told Liao is trying to poach his sr staff. Yi Fei learns his dad keeps tabs on his son to be sure he’s doing ok. And then it’s about getting married. His dad is glad the model is out of the picture and he wants YiFei to find a nice girl to have a family with. The scene shifts to the bday banquet and this father wanted to know why the dishes were similar. His daughter has meticulously chosen them for him. Her new bf presents the dad with a golf glove. It is clear he has no clue what he gave when asked why only one.😝🙄While daughter is off making more arrangements dad brings bf aside and gives him a chat about sincerity. This guy, I think there might be a spine in him somewhere, but I fail to see what he offers that had two intelligent capable women fall in love with him. 🧐 So when gf is congratulating him on how well her father thinks of him and is giving him a special project he has to wonder what’s up. His gf thinks she has dad so wrapped around her finger that he agrees with every decision she makes. It is looking like bf will be good candidate for fall guy. Yi Fei snags some tea from his dad and heads back to apartment. There he saw that Qian Fei made some white mushroom soup as a comforting dish to strengthen him as he watched over his dad. He is touched by the gesture and is not telling her his dad’s a big faker. While she’s taking a break from working on her report he helps himself to her fried rice and then polishes her report. He considered that recompense for the meal. He is funny demanding tea eggs. I looked up da hong pao tea because I’m not very knowledgeable about tea. The mother plant is centuries old and it’s known for being one of the most expensive teas in the world. Qian Fei is a foodie and wanted to know if it was the real thing and of course YiFei acknowledged it with his sleepy grumpy voice.🤣😂 It is cute and funny that both want pictures with the tea eggs. 🤣 Ms Fang, I am not sure what I think of her. She thinks she is blackmailing YiFei for her sake and he accepts she won’t hire Qian Fei without freedom from Liao backlash. when he is willing to throw his company under the bus to protect her. I think he wants Qian Fei to really see the people she wants to work for and leave of her own volition. Funny how Ms Fang was willing to get Qian Fei on board when she was assured she’d get no backlash for finding the fraudulent accounts. She is hardly a worthy mentor.😝That is why mean girl office worker thinks she can get her own way. Ms Fang won’t rock the boat to do the right thing. 😝 Qian Fei is getting the call she’s been wanting but I’m not looking forward to how this will pan out for her.

hehehe

i liked this case ，I’m happy the kitchen setting isn’t used for a corny ’ ’ cook from your heart ！！’ ’ episode & it focuses on something actually more universal & specific. i like this new power+up ，they used it really well. the final twist with nox i did predict & i do have a concern about them ramming so much in back two back two back ，which i know i am ignoring the two+week gap these last three episodes had but i still feel like we are learning a lot which isn’t a problem if we don’t do something with all that we just learned before learning some more. this episode was so fucking funny omfg they know just the right amount to hammer. my thoughts feel all over the place ，i enjoyed these two episodes & i am excited to keep watching with no fear or dread of the upcoming episode.

it feels nice to breathe after an attack

i like this approach to a two+piece episode where they do stand on their own with a singular basing stitch. i understood how the ohrangers still played a part but because the last episode was incredibly loaded at the end ，us moving on from basco for the moment helped break things up & not exactly return to form because the threat still put a fire under them. i liked the kid. i liked how disconnected he was to the actual threat ，& i like this part of the hero shows where they show how the civillian can also save the protagonist. don is just like him he’s just like don it’s a sweet time. they also organically came to their conclusions bytheway i did like how everything tied together.

Challenge accepted

The opening scene with Prince Ding surrounded by assassins was choreographed masterfully. They used his chair as offense and defense and when it broke he was free of his yoke of weakness. Well done!👏🏻 The General became even more arrogant after beating another opponent and mocking Dachu in general. He went to the princess to get permission to offer a prize of 200 horses. He then wanted another challenge to gain Prince Ding’s spear. Ye Li clearly stated why he was not worthy of it. She described in detail the duplicitous and opportunistic behavior of his country. She agreed he was brave but that he proved repeatedly he lacked loyalty to merit the spear he demanded. He boldly headed towards her to kill her and Xiu Yao flew up the stairs to intercede. 💪🏻👏🏻 He soundly defeated the general several times to prove that no matter how often he tried, he would be vanquished. I loved the look from the Marquis as he watched. The men all cheered because everybody was more than fed up with his boasts and embarrassed his fighting skills were better. This included the Emperor. The Empress Dowager was glad he was defeated but she was not smiling at Prince Ding being healed. The visiting princess told them where they would find the promised horses. The Prince went on to tell them of the plot to kill the weapon designer to prevent production of a new crossbow. All the eunuchs that had teamed together against the Prince were found dead in the place they held the Prince or their own quarters. The Marquis was especially nervous about the capture of the colluder, but just like he was given preference with JingLi’s case, Xiu Yao was given preference for this weapons case. The Princess claimed no knowledge of the plot and mentioned her friend in the city. This was a blow to whatever scheme the Marquis had planned. It was very satisfying to watch him be the one off balance and admonished to step aside. The Duke was all praise for Xiu Yao and remembered Ye Li’s grandfather. Here I think those at the school only live in her mind and heart but now is not the time to address it. I loved the banter between the couple as she tells him about the treatment he will receive when he comes home from work. His return challenge to accept any treatment from her quite willingly. 🥰The Empress dowager is still deciding whether or no to take the Princess’ claim as truth or not. The Cangbai Princess and General have figured out the truth of the weapons deal and why YuanFang was killed. The general was warned to stop acting stupid. I was surprised that he spoke intelligently and calmly to the princess so he isn’t just an arrogant ass. 😝Su Zuidi was caught listening and told to kneel 4 hours. Xiu Yao recognized her and told her the princess spared her and she could get up. While she is out walking she collapsed in the street to be discovered by Ms Wen. She is taken in to have a doc check her condition. I liked that Xiu Yao addressed it immediately and thoroughly. The Wens and Su’s had been friends for decades and when the eastern palace was purged Su’s family was among them. He told when and why they were betrothed as young and why Ms Wen felt obliged to take her in. Ye Li understands but isn’t happy. She picks out the sugar she doesn’t like and wants Xiu Yao to deliver it their guest. The scene moves to Fei Bai who is risking his life to find out what really happened in Lishan. He makes it up the cliff and we get a glimpse of the school for it to jump to Ning going through JingLi’s possessions. She finds a box of letters that are given to Ye Li. Next preview has a lot of unsettling events. They are really finding ways to keep our couple from happy married life. The story never dies down but becomes more intricate each episode. There is never a clear picture of where loyalties lie and things change with new perceptions. This episode stands out for excellence. 👏🏻👏🏻 Waiting to see how the mysteries of Lishan unfold and what secrets the palace still hides.

Carried by the almighty dragon deity

Who? The new dragon deity ?? Oh you mean that useless dragon who literally does nothing and got wounded in the most ridiculous way possible, i didnt even think WS was this useless dude gotta get a grip ffs😑. Ive been hating WS all the series starting from the loop and how he cant do shit but get posessed and now that he's the new dragon deity i thought he would get some character development but writer said "NAH." And just made him into an useless baggage, his 6 petals ass cant even land a scratch on Jiu Ying but for some reason the one singled petal can do it?!?! HUH ???. The power scale is broken in this episode, another really dissapointing WS episode 😵(The only smart thing he did is bringing Ji Ling back honestly)

The cost of sincerity

Shaoshang's sincerity when it comes to helping the people she cares about is something I absolutely love about her. 💖 I know she doesn't think of the consequences and often just acts on impulse, but we shouldn't forget that she is actually still a teenager—what, about 16 years old or so? 🥺But I do also get why Buyi is worried. 😔 The Imperial Palace is not an easy place to navigate, and anything one says or does can have huge consequences. However, it would be helpful if he taught Shaoshang how to tell what is what... and she, in turn, needs to let him teach her. 👆Every time they have a deeper conversation that borders on an argument, it is one step closer to the growth of their relationship, and it is always needed. They both always reflect after each argument and become wiser for it. 😌✨The Crown Prince giving his tiger tally to someone wasn't a very clever move. 🤦‍♀️ It's a relief that the other party was Ling Buyi. But what if that had been someone with ill intentions and ambitions? Then it could have been the greatest mistake the Crown Prince ever made. Just saying... 🤐

given Progress's age i thought we wouldn't…

given Progress's age i thought we wouldn't get anything more then a hint of a kiss & this kiss was more a touching of lips then anything hot & heavy. still he is under age so am guessing they got his parent's consent. still it didn't take away from the innocence of the moment. it was done with taste & the whole vibe of the young budding love is still intact. also love that there r a lot of scenes where it's just the gang hanging out together & as Tle has been added to the mix i am guessing he is the one that sent August all those mini-confession letters. either way another fun, fluffy & sweet ep - *****************************************think the only dark cloud was Ko Song's father, what is his deal? from what we see & how Ko Song acts when talking about his parents it looks like they r very neglectful & distant. which is weird given the initial feel. so glad he got Ko Neug & his family now.
