Tottori is determined to involve Japan with the last two artifacts. Here 6th master does an excellent job posing as an opium dealer and gets the price bumped up to 600k by the real opium dealer in a private seat. Both Zhang and Tottori plan to bid on last one and steal the purchased one. Officer Luo is also keeping a close eye on things. Xie looks like he passed out as first transaction completed. Tottori starts bid with 300k and thinks he has it wrapped up with his don’t outbid hydrangea placed on curtain. Zhang steps up and places a blanket bid. This pushes price to 1 million but Tottori had more personal funds than they anticipated. He rallied the Chinese by refusing to give Japan such an artifact. This had every local contributing to his account, making them match at 2.45 million. Huo bravely offers last 200k bump and shocks Tottori by giving it to Zhang for them to win. Every Chinese person in there felt pride depriving Japan of Chinese treasure. This unfortunately makes Tottori go scorched earth on any contact Huo has. He figures she will die soon without the cure and will annihilate anyone she knows that caused him to lose bid. The Americans are backing XinYue and have the required travel permit to move artifact. They successfully circumvent the Japanese outside. Inside the powers that be move slowly even when urgent. 😝 He gets his warrant after everybody is gone. Huo boldly goes to claim her cure but finds herself surrounded instead. Leader of XinYue escorts her out and his military force cannot touch her since she is an employee of XinYue. Huo might be out of luck against black plague but she finally gets to see that little man thwarted at every turn. The downside is he plans to return the favor. It was fun watching them improvise to counter Japan and merge Chinese resources. To have that yoke off for even a moment was pretty satisfying all around. The focus now shifted to first chest and both sides will give no quarter in obtaining it. Masters 2and 6 fight brilliantly when the Japanese show up. Now even chest owner claims chest for China and to keep Japan from getting it. Everybody has sustained injuries. The fight scenes nicely choreographed but glad opium seller had a gun. That made it more real than only a sword at a gunfight. Now it was a mini war of China vs Japan. Loved his comment when his servant said they should run. They should leave and don’t belong here. Beat the Japanese. 😝😁👏🏻 He tells the masters the chest is theirs and to keep it in China. Chen is finding himself face to face with a mummy and 6th master is outmanned and outgunned when episode ends. They kept this a nail biter with battle lines made even clearer between Chinese Japanese and Americans. Hoping Zhang gets resources to them soon. They hopefully anticipated how hard Japan would go for artifact. Now have to wait til tomorrow.😝

Hmm, I really hope I wouldn't have been spoiled about Shulin getting pregnant... It ruined my reaction to the news and sadly this episode as a whole. 😞But not letting that disappointment caused by novel readers linger, I am still happy with how the news of the pregnancy changed Shulin and Jinbai's relationship by the end of the episode. She finally got to dress up as a lady, and confessed her feelings to him. In return, he swore to stay by her side for the rest of his life even if she doesn't marry him. He ensured she can be her true self when they are alone and she asked him to name their baby. I love their relationship. 🥹💖Xihe warming up, smiling, touching Huayong's hands and becoming more affectionate with him was a great sight. 🥰Once again I am amazed at how everyone finds out everything so easily, and deduces the right conclusions from the most bizarre observations... Like Prince Ning and Qingshi realising Shulin must be pregnant and that they had a stand-in for the party, like it was nothing. Only because there's some description of herbs... The pregnant one could just as well be any other woman in the house, couldn't she? 🤷♀️ And this is not the first drama that does this. 🤦♀️😞Qingshi is becoming way too dangerous. She's like the ultimate plot drive in the villain department atm. But my question now is who is the person she answers to? Is that the hooded man who gave the drugs to that foreign prince to use on Xihe? I remember his voice sounded familiar, but haven't really thought of him again. 🤔

Nam Mo’s mom did a great job of PISSING ME OFF this episode. Unfairly judging Mi Ho & her family because you're upset with the choices YOU made. Mad props to Nam Mo for calling her out for it. Seeing Mrs Cha around the company more and more is annoying because you know the betrayal is incoming. yes, her & her family are being threatened so I get it, but it just sucks to see it. And the CEO's son is just pathetic and annoying kind of crazy how I respect the dad more than him.

Have you ever broke up with someone who cared about you more than you cared about them? It's hard because you don't want to hurt them. The scene between Little Jane and Dan captured that feeling. And can we talk about Big Jane and Little Jane? The scenes with them were so tense just like they should be since Little Jane feels like he's been backed into a corner. In the end, he's coming around, but he doesn't know how to deal with everything Big Jane is involved in.

Overall, this first episode is good. The acting is quite solid, especially from the two leads. I understand their behavior, given the Omegaverse setting. Additionally, in some scenes where the framing is off-center, the visuals feel a bit odd—almost like CCTV footage. Or perhaps that was an intentional stylistic choice?

This episode was more like real life with a lot of low key emotions, mostly sad. Like when they discussed their relationship and how it seemed they were so far apart in what they wanted in life that it just couldn't work, and then the final scene where Big Jane agreed to part ways. Oh, I was crying so much during this episode. I had to stop it a number of times because I couldn't read through my tears.

Key to the Phoenix Heart Episode 17
0 people found this review helpful
After the emotional destruction of Episode 16, Episode 17 doesn't immediately give us relief.Instead, it lets the consequences breathe.Li Fuhua is dead.Jiayu has lost the person she regarded as her mother.The Phoenix Heart token has disappeared.The Xie family has turned against Jiayu.And Xiao Wuyi is now standing in the middle of a situation where almost every explanation seems incomplete.This is the kind of episode where the biggest danger isn't a battlefield.It's what people believe happened.💔 JIAYU AFTER LI FUHUA'S DEATHJiayu's grief remains the emotional center of the episode.And understandably, she's not herself anymore.Li Fuhua wasn't merely a guardian who raised her.She was the person who gave Jiayu a sense of family and belonging.So losing her while simultaneously being rejected by the Xie family creates a double wound.Jiayu isn't only mourning her mother.She's also mourning the family she thought she had.And that's why her emotional reaction toward Xiao Wuyi becomes increasingly complicated.🦅 XIAO WUYI TRIES TO PROTECT HERXiao Wuyi continues doing what he has always done:protect first, explain later.The problem is that this strategy has limitations.He's used to operating through secrecy.He's accustomed to carrying information alone.He's comfortable allowing people to misunderstand his intentions if it helps him achieve his objective.But Jiayu isn't a soldier under his command.She's his wife.She's someone whose trust matters to him.And now his usual habit of withholding information is beginning to hurt the person he cares about.This is an important weakness in Xiao Wuyi's character.His secrecy may make him an excellent strategist.But it doesn't necessarily make him a good communicator.🐦 THE PHOENIX HEART DISAPPEARANCEThe missing Phoenix Heart token becomes even more significant after Li Fuhua's death.The timing is simply too suspicious.Someone clearly wanted the token.Someone knew where it was.And someone was willing to kill to get it.This makes Li Fuhua's death look less like an isolated tragedy and more like part of the larger political conspiracy.Which means Jiayu's question becomes unavoidable:Who benefited from her mother's death?⚠️ WHY XIAO WUYI LOOKS SUSPICIOUSFrom the audience's perspective, it's frustrating because we understand Xiao Wuyi's character.But if we temporarily look at the situation from Jiayu's perspective, the suspicion makes sense.Her mother is dead.The Phoenix Heart is missing.Xiao Wuyi was involved in the investigation.He's connected to powerful military and political forces.And he has repeatedly kept secrets from her.Jiayu doesn't have enough information to confidently accuse him.But she also doesn't have enough information to completely trust the situation.That distinction is important.She's not necessarily saying:“Xiao Wuyi definitely killed my mother.”She's asking:“What is Xiao Wuyi not telling me?”And that is a much more dangerous question.🧠 LI MAO'S SECRET BECOMES MORE IMPORTANTMeanwhile, the story continues developing the mystery surrounding Li Mao.At this point, Li Mao is becoming one of the most difficult characters to categorize.He doesn't behave like a conventional villain.But he clearly knows more than he's telling.And his connection with Li Lejun means that the two siblings' political choices are becoming increasingly important to the central plot.The fascinating part is that the audience still doesn't have the full picture.We know that Li Lejun has done something terrible.But we don't yet know exactly how far Li Mao's involvement extends.And this uncertainty becomes increasingly important later.🐍 LI LEJUN'S ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCESLi Lejun may have survived the carriage accident, but psychologically and politically, she is now in a dangerous position.She knows what she did.She knows why she did it.And she knows what will happen if the truth comes out.The problem with secrets in this drama is that they rarely stay contained.One secret leads to another.One lie requires another lie.And eventually, characters find themselves defending an entire structure of deception rather than one isolated decision.That's exactly where Li Lejun is heading.🏯 THE XIE FAMILY'S RESPONSEJiayu's rejection by the Xie family remains one of the most painful aspects of the episode.Because she has done nothing to deserve being treated as though she isn't family.The fact that she was raised by Li Fuhua makes the situation even more complicated.Jiayu's identity has always been tied to multiple families and multiple political histories.Now, with Li Fuhua gone, those relationships are being reassessed.And this is another recurring theme of the drama:Blood isn't always the same thing as family.The people who raised you can matter more than the people who share your surname.❤️ XIAO WUYI AND JIAYU'S RELATIONSHIP IS TESTEDThis is probably the most important relationship development of Episode 17.Before this point, their relationship was increasingly built around trust.Now that trust is being tested.And what's interesting is that the drama doesn't suddenly turn them into enemies.Instead, there's distance.Unanswered questions.Emotional hesitation.Things that remain unsaid.That feels much more realistic than suddenly making Jiayu hate Xiao Wuyi.She still cares about him.She simply doesn't know whether she can believe everything he tells her.And Xiao Wuyi can sense that change.🥺 THE TRAGEDY OF THEIR SITUATIONThe cruel irony is that both of them are suffering for the same reason:they don't have the complete truth.Jiayu wants answers.Xiao Wuyi wants to protect her.But Xiao Wuyi's method of protection is secrecy.Jiayu's response to secrecy is suspicion.And therefore:His protection creates her doubt.That's such a frustrating but believable relationship conflict.🦅 XIAO WUYI'S GREATEST FLAWEpisode 17 also makes something clearer about Xiao Wuyi.His greatest strength and greatest weakness are actually the same thing:he believes he can carry everything himself.Military problems?He'll handle them.Political conspiracies?He'll handle them.Danger?He'll handle it.His own illness?He'll handle it.Jiayu's safety?He'll handle it.But eventually, a relationship cannot survive entirely on one person making decisions “for the other's sake.”Jiayu needs to be allowed to understand.She needs to participate.She needs to choose.And Xiao Wuyi is slowly going to have to learn that.🌸 JIAYU IS ALSO CHANGINGThis tragedy is forcing Jiayu to grow up.She's no longer the sheltered young woman from the beginning.She's now experienced:• betrayal• death• political manipulation• family rejection• military conflict• and the consequences of hidden identities.The innocent Jiayu is still there.But she's becoming more cautious.More observant.And much more capable of questioning the people around her.🔥 THE POLITICAL STORY DOESN'T STOP FOR GRIEFOne thing I really appreciate about the drama is that it doesn't let emotional tragedy completely stop the political narrative.The Phoenix Heart remains important.The factions remain active.The succession issues remain unresolved.The northern threat remains.And the mysteries surrounding the past continue affecting the present.This keeps the drama from becoming a simple romance with political decoration.The romance is happening inside a political crisis.🐦 THE TITLE IS STARTING TO FEEL HEAVIERBy Episode 17, Key to the Phoenix Heart feels less like a mysterious title and more like a description of the entire conflict.The Phoenix Heart represents something everyone believes they need.But everyone wants it for different reasons.Some want power.Some want protection.Some want revenge.Some want to expose the truth.And some want to prevent the truth from ever being known.That's what makes the token so dangerous.The real weapon isn't necessarily the object itself.It's what people are willing to do because of it.❤️ THE ROMANCE IS STILL THEREEven though this isn't a fluffy romance episode, the relationship between Xiao Wuyi and Jiayu remains emotionally present.And honestly, I prefer that.Because their romance shouldn't magically disappear whenever the plot becomes serious.Their feelings are now part of the stakes.Xiao Wuyi doesn't simply want to solve the mystery.He wants Jiayu safe.Jiayu doesn't simply want justice.She also has to deal with what her relationship with Xiao Wuyi means.That's why their conflict matters.⭐ FINAL VERDICTEpisode 17 isn't necessarily the episode with the biggest explosive twist.Instead, it's an emotional consequence episode.And that's important.Episode 16 destroyed Jiayu's world.Episode 17 shows us what remains after the destruction.She is grieving.Her family has rejected her.The Phoenix Heart is missing.Li Lejun is hiding the truth.Li Mao remains difficult to read.And Xiao Wuyi is trying to protect Jiayu while unknowingly making her question him.The episode's greatest strength is that it doesn't force the emotional conflict.It lets suspicion grow naturally from grief and missing information.And that's much more effective.⭐ Episode 17 ScoreStory: 9.6/10Emotional impact: 9.7/10Political intrigue: 9.6/10Romance: 9.4/10Character development: 9.7/10Mystery: 9.8/10Pacing: 9.5/10🥀 Episode 17 in one sentence:After losing her mother and her family, Jiayu is forced to confront the most painful question yet—not whether she loves Xiao Wuyi, but whether she can still trust him when she doesn't know the whole truth.

Key to the Phoenix Heart Episode 16
0 people found this review helpful
If the previous episodes were about uncovering political secrets, Episode 16 is where those secrets finally begin destroying people's lives.And for Xie Jiayu, this is the episode where the world she thought she understood starts collapsing one piece at a time.Because in a single episode, she loses someone she considers her mother, gets rejected by the family she thought was hers, and begins to suspect the man she has come to trust.And the cruelest part?She isn't completely wrong to be suspicious.She simply doesn't have all the information yet.💥 THE TRUTH ABOUT “CUI JUN”One of the biggest revelations of the episode concerns Cui Jun.After Cui Jun is captured, Yuan Xiaoliu continues investigating his background.Something about Cui Jun doesn't add up.Cui Shao'an remembers that after his father returned from Mobei twenty years earlier, his personality changed dramatically.The man who returned was colder.More violent.More severe.And that change wasn't simply the result of trauma.Yuan Xiaoliu eventually discovers the horrifying truth:The man they've been calling Cui Jun isn't actually Cui Jun.He is Chu Zhu, a Northern Qin spy who killed the real Cui Jun twenty years earlier and assumed his identity.His entire existence within the Cui family was part of a long-term infiltration.And his objective wasn't simply revenge.He was after the secrets connected to the Quegu Ling / Phoenix Heart token.This is an excellent twist because it retroactively explains why “Cui Jun” has always felt so difficult to understand.He wasn't simply a morally corrupted father.He was literally someone else.🧩 THE TWENTY-YEAR MYSTERY GETS ANOTHER PIECEThis revelation also reinforces one of the drama's strongest narrative ideas:The present conflict is built on crimes committed years ago.The characters we're watching now aren't dealing with problems that suddenly appeared.They are inheriting the consequences of decisions made decades earlier.The old alliances.The old betrayals.The old war.The hidden identities.The Phoenix Heart.The political succession.Everything is connected.And that makes the story much more complicated than a simple struggle between “good court” and “evil enemy.”💔 YUAN XIAOLIU'S SACRIFICEAnd then we get one of the most painful moments of the episode.Chu Zhu activates a mechanism designed to destroy Lingfeng Fort.The mechanism was based on a wheel design created by Yuan Xiaoliu himself.If it activates completely, the poisonous water and molten iron would flood the fortress, killing everyone trapped inside.Yuan Xiaoliu knows how the mechanism works.And therefore, he knows what he has to do.He goes back to shut it down.He succeeds in stopping the mechanism.But he is struck by an arrow and dies from his injuries.😭This is one of those deaths that hurts precisely because it isn't meaningless.He doesn't die because the plot suddenly needs a tragedy.He dies because he knows how to save everyone and chooses to do it even when it costs his life.And Xiao Wuyi's reaction is heartbreaking.He completely loses control.For someone as disciplined and controlled as Xiao Wuyi, seeing him nearly beat Chu Zhu to death tells us exactly how much Yuan Xiaoliu meant to him.🦅 BUT JIAYU IS THE ONE WHO STOPS XIAO WUYIAnd I love this little detail.Xiao Wuyi wants Chu Zhu dead.Jiayu stops him.Not because she suddenly forgives Chu Zhu.But because she understands that they need him alive.If Chu Zhu is brought back alive, the crimes of the Cui family can be exposed publicly.This is another example of Jiayu's growing political maturity.Earlier Jiayu might have reacted emotionally.Now she's thinking about consequences.Justice isn't simply revenge.Sometimes keeping the enemy alive is more valuable than killing him.And Xiao Wuyi listens to her.That matters.🥀 THEN EVERYTHING GETS WORSEAfter the chaos at Lingfeng Fort, Jiayu and Li Fuhua prepare to travel.Jiayu is supposed to accompany her mother while they return toward Jiankang and eventually continue south.But the political situation surrounding the Phoenix Heart makes everyone vulnerable.Xiao Wuyi doesn't travel with them because he believes their safety may actually be better served by separating from them.And then comes the disaster.💔 LI FUHUA DIESThe carriage carrying Li Fuhua and Li Lejun loses control.The horse goes mad.The carriage crashes down the cliff.The driver dies.And Li Fuhua dies as well.Li Lejun survives but is seriously injured.This is absolutely devastating for Jiayu.Li Fuhua wasn't simply her foster mother.She was her mother in every way that mattered to Jiayu.And suddenly she's gone.This is the emotional breaking point of the episode.🌸 JIAYU'S GRIEFJiayu is devastated.And I think this is one of Aimi's most important emotional moments in the drama because the loss isn't treated as a convenient plot device.Jiayu doesn't simply cry for one scene and move on.Her physical condition deteriorates.She becomes ill and needs medicine.And Xiao Wuyi immediately goes out to find the medicine she needs.He even searches for bear bile to help her.That action tells us something important about him:When Jiayu is suffering, his instinct isn't to explain himself.It's to do something.🦅 XIAO WUYI PROTECTS HER EVEN WHEN SHE CAN'T SEE ITThis is one of the things that makes Xiao Wuyi such an emotionally compelling male lead.He isn't constantly saying:“I love you.”Instead, his affection is expressed through action.He goes looking for medicine.He protects her.He intervenes when her father attacks her.He doesn't allow her to be blamed for something she didn't intentionally cause.And he doesn't need recognition for any of it.💔 THEN COMES THE MOST PAINFUL MISUNDERSTANDINGWhen they finally return, Xie Huai Gui is furious.His daughter has died.He is grieving.And he lashes out at Jiayu.He even strikes her.Before he can hit her again, Xiao Wuyi intervenes.He makes it clear that Li Lejun's accident was not Jiayu's fault.That scene is important because Xiao Wuyi is protecting Jiayu at the exact moment when she is most vulnerable.But unfortunately...This is also the beginning of a much bigger misunderstanding.😭 JIAYU IS DISOWNEDXie Huai Gui publicly declares that Jiayu is only the Xie family's adopted daughter.He cuts ties with her.He takes Li Fuhua's coffin back to the Xie residence.Imagine what this means for Jiayu.Within a very short period of time:She loses her mother.She loses her family.She loses her social position.And she is suddenly left wondering whether the people she trusted actually considered her family at all.This isn't just political conflict anymore.This is personal devastation.🐦 AND THEN THE PHOENIX HEART MAKES EVERYTHING WORSEBefore leaving Lingfeng Fort, Jiayu had seen Xiao Wuyi speaking privately with Li Fuhua.She asked him about it.He denied that Li Fuhua had argued with anyone.Now Li Fuhua is dead.The Phoenix Heart token is missing.And Xiao Wuyi was one of the last people Jiayu knows to have interacted with her mother.From Jiayu's perspective, the pieces start forming an extremely frightening picture.So she begins to suspect:Did Xiao Wuyi kill her mother for the Phoenix Heart?And this is where the episode becomes heartbreaking.Because we know Xiao Wuyi.We know the person Jiayu has slowly learned to trust.But Jiayu doesn't have the information we have.And from her perspective, the suspicion isn't irrational.💔 THIS IS WHY HER SUSPICION HURTSIt's tempting to become frustrated with Jiayu and think:“How could you possibly suspect Xiao Wuyi after everything he's done?”But honestly?She has every reason to investigate.Her mother is dead.The Phoenix Heart is missing.Xiao Wuyi was connected to the situation.And she knows that political players have already been willing to kill for the token.This isn't Jiayu suddenly becoming stupid.It's grief combined with incomplete information.And that's much more believable.🦅 XIAO WUYI DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE FULL TRUTH EITHERThat's another thing that makes the misunderstanding effective.Xiao Wuyi isn't sitting there with the entire conspiracy mapped out.He's also investigating.He's also trying to understand what's happening.And he's dealing with multiple political threats at the same time.So the two people who have become each other's greatest source of trust are suddenly separated by information neither of them possesses.That's painful.🐍 LI LEJUN'S SECRETAnd then the episode gives us the audience something Jiayu doesn't know yet.Li Lejun wakes up.Li Mao realizes she's pretending to sleep.And eventually the truth begins coming out.The carriage accident wasn't simply an unfortunate accident.Li Lejun was responsible.Her motivation is connected to the secret surrounding Li Mao's identity.Li Fuhua knew information that could expose Li Mao's true lineage.And Li Lejun was desperate to prevent that information from becoming public.So the accident was part of a larger attempt to silence Li Fuhua and protect Li Mao's secret.This is where the story becomes even more complicated.Because Li Lejun isn't simply acting out of greed.She's trying to protect someone she loves.But what she does is still horrific.💔 LI MAO'S POSITION BECOMES MORE COMPLICATEDAnd this is where I would be careful about labeling Li Mao at this point.After watching the full drama, we know there are layers to his actions.But at Episode 16, we shouldn't automatically assume everything he's doing is villainous.The drama deliberately keeps his motivations complicated.Li Mao is connected to the political succession problem.He's connected to Li Lejun.He's connected to Jiayu.And his identity itself is now part of the mystery.That's exactly why the audience shouldn't rush to a conclusion.🧠 THE WRITING TRICK OF EPISODE 16What I particularly like about this episode is how the drama gives different characters different pieces of the truth.Jiayu knows:• her mother is dead• the Phoenix Heart is missing• Xiao Wuyi was connected to the situation• her family has rejected herXiao Wuyi knows:• there is a larger conspiracy• the Phoenix Heart remains important• Cui Zhu was an impostor• the political situation is becoming more dangerousLi Mao knows:• Li Lejun is hiding something• her actions are connected to his identity• Li Fuhua knew something dangerousAnd we, the audience, know more than Jiayu—but still not everything.That creates the perfect recipe for misunderstanding.❤️ THE TRAGEDY OF THEIR RELATIONSHIPThis is why Episode 16 hurts more than a normal breakup episode.Xiao Wuyi and Jiayu were finally becoming genuine partners.They had developed trust.They had experienced life-and-death situations together.They were becoming emotionally important to one another.And then, at exactly the moment when Jiayu needs him most...she begins suspecting him.The irony is brutal.The man who is trying to protect her becomes the man she fears might have destroyed her family.⭐ FINAL VERDICTEpisode 16 is easily one of the strongest episodes so far.It delivers:🔥 a major identity revelation🔥 Yuan Xiaoliu's heroic sacrifice🔥 the collapse of the Cui conspiracy🔥 Li Fuhua's death🔥 Li Lejun's hidden involvement🔥 Jiayu being disowned🔥 the disappearance of the Phoenix Heart🔥 and the beginning of a devastating misunderstanding between the leads.But the biggest achievement is emotional.The episode doesn't simply make Jiayu suffer for shock value.It puts her in a position where the truth is almost impossible for her to see.And that makes what comes next much more painful.Because we know Xiao Wuyi.We know Jiayu.We know how much trust they've built.And now we're watching circumstances slowly tear that trust apart.⭐ Episode 16 ScoreStory: 9.8/10Plot twists: 9.9/10Emotional impact: 10/10Romance: 9.3/10Political intrigue: 9.8/10Character development: 9.8/10Pacing: 9.7/10💔 Episode 16 in one sentence:The episode where Jiayu loses her mother, her family, and almost loses her faith in the man she has learned to trust—all while the real conspiracy is happening somewhere just beyond what she can see.

A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream Episode 14
1 people found this review helpful
in the previous ep, when i said i have a bad feeling this whole BL is gonna go from bad to worse (i.e the main couple also gonna have a bad/sad ending) people said "noooo, don't worry" throughout this whole ep there was this weird bad vibe in the air. maybe it's all in my head, but i kept waiting for something to go wrong - i was holding my breath from start to finish - but nothing happened. nothing earth shattering, not that this means i am now relaxed - just means now i am dreading the next ep's to come. hope it's all in my head - but i have a feeling one of the 2 remining couples aint gonna fair well by the end. **************was surprised that Jinglin (or however she is called) didn't take the "investor's" money & chose to protect Han Lu, who really made a stupid move going to that investor trying to placate him with money - that is the one thing he has bucket-loads off & why he is acting like nothing can touch him. he wants Han Lu & he the type that needs to have the last say - he can say he had enough of Han Lu & end things, but it can NEVER be the other way around. *******************************************************so even though i didn't like how Hao Yu lashed out at Han Lu, he was right. so am happy that finally Han Lu asked for help & everyone rallied around him, idk if this means we pushed away the inevitable - as the investor dude like Shi Yuhao wont give up on their prey that easily. *************************************************************************************************************side note: sadly i got conformation (from a novel reader) that Qing Tian was indeed attached by a bear on the mountain, which is so heartbreaking as he finally decided to move on & give love/Wen Shu a chance (when he was ready) heartbreaking when u thing about it. & i was sure he would be left in peace, but there always someone looking to make a buck & now his ex-bf's family (or someone in his family) r looking to make a mockery of their love & Qing Tian's memory, ugh. i really hope Qing Tian's family & friends don't cave & settle sh*t, but after how he was treated by them - i hope they r destroyed & publicly shamed !!! kinda tired that in this BL the "bad-guys" just keep getting away with sh*t - freakin frustrating!

Would the prince known for his cold demeanor and ruthlesness bicker with an annoying neighbor ? Hard to say, But Cui Jiu did🤣 and it is HILARIOUS AS HELL. The last scene made me laugh so hard 😭 finally the "useless" husband is fighting back defending his wife, the reward afterward is absolutely necessary 💋💕 so so cuteee ✨
