i have given up on sleep at this point

pretty great episode. cui shi jiu had a great showing & it was definitely needed because it was genuinely getting really hard to see her story+lines of her taking beating after beating after humiliation after humiliation it was getting so voyeuristically cruel. i decided to watch this extra episode because i really swanted to see what would happen to yue yun xiu. i like this little pit+stop. i imagine the fan is about to get hit in a major way in the next episodes ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ yan zijing’s lashing out was a really beautiful scene. i also like how they progressed this relationship. yan zijing’s possible future wife driving a wedge between them is perfect to have her piece together her growing distrust with being left in the dark about a lot of things. & they were able to actually resolve this immediately by shouldering each other through something only really they can relate to. splendid.

Love Love Love i will be continuing

great first five episodes yeesh. shen xie he is a minty fresh main+character i love watching her. i love a vindictive character & i feel like this is a more novel take on second+chance reanimation. how she movrds witnh minor characters is what really bewitched me i ADORE how she reprimands her sister in wanting more for herself ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i love the « victim of the week » formula of this show. they got it down to actually be entertaining & meaningful. we are speeding through the princes one down each episode which is a little unfortunate mainly because I LIKE PRINCE LIE. I FELT SO BAD WHEN SHE STARTED COMPARING HIM TO HIS BROTHERS LIKE OMGGG YOU DON’t HAVE TO SAY ALL OF THAT EVEN IF IT’s TRUE . . . every character is so dynamic though i enjoy this cast a lot. i hope all of the princes ，ev en the disgraced eliminated marriage options continjue to have more layers to them. they all have a lot of potential to be very unique & interesting characters. that all could possibly die i genuinely get that suspicion with the sister & prince lie not making it . .. ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i also do like this main couple ，i did feel like the scales were unbalanced earlierbecause hua yong had a few steps ahead of her only to be complete putty in Love. & here in this episode ；she is fond of him but she still has a guard conscious. not exactly up because he keeps slipping past her defenses but like I’m loving it so.

Kisses allowed and family betrayal

The Gu sis continues to be a scheming opportunist. She slants the story to make Ning look like a jealous brother coveting the title of crown Prince. When that failed he committed suicide and that trauma caused her miscarriage. She had quite the lineup of charges and ultimately was successful in cutting ties with her ex. He would probably be applauding her ingenuity and glad he was no longer a participant in her manipulative games. The story isn’t sitting with HuaYong. His brother was many things but that wasn’t his typical style. There is some tie with the poisoner he can’t figure out, but he’s pretty positive the person is still hiding out in the palace. Aft Ms Gu separated from one brother she heads to Changqing hoping for progress. He very coldly dismissed her. No wi dear she’s such a psycho. Karma slapped him when XiHe knocked him back with equal coldness. He really thinks she will give into him after Crown Prince dies. As if….she killed herself rather than stay with him. Does he really think her attitude has changed any if it’s really her as he suspects? He is getting bolder taunting HuaYing with the thoughts of what will happen after he’s dead and XiHe alone. He is dripping with animosity and it’s beyond annoying. On a much better note, progress is being made in the romance dept.🥳🥰 Bout damn time.😝🤣 HuaYong has persevered and XiHe is finally receptive to kisses. Everything should be a happy event heading to brother’s wedding. Changqing is still appearing and serenading her with his ocarina. His pastry delivery was cut short with him finding out hubby was there and he could go on about his business. The scene shifts from the cozy tub scene of our leads to the raucous bachelor party of her brother and family. This turns into a battle very reminiscent of Qian’s. They had finally defeated everybody with the city gate staying shut when an uncle betrays them. His son was beheaded a decade ago and the parents feel revenge long overdue. The local general gets there in time to save them but the Duke of Wei is in a coma and not doing well. The silver lining is he’s alive. Changtai is attacking from the other side. He’s tired of being the family pawn and ready to make his move. He greatly resents the favor shown to crown prince and wanting some of that positive attention his way. His wife is doing everything she can to dissuade him, but his jealousy blinders will not come off and his armor of ambition demands he pursue this opportunity no matter the cost. For him…it will be his dear wife. Changqing is pleased with the uncle that weakened the Shen family. He sees this as his way in with XiHe. The chess pieces are moving and it’s waiting to be seen who will control the armies to achieve their goals. Here’s hoping Prince Lie gets there soon. He will be the voice of reason and calmest thinker of all of them where the army is concerned. What should have been a festive occasion has become family upheavals from within.

The thrill is back!

Wow, this episode was peak again! 🔥 I got all the thrill I missed in some of the previous episodes — sitting on the edge of my seat and worrying about all the characters, especially WuYi, Yun, and their father. 😱🫣 The battle scenes were very well executed, in my opinion. And JiaYu's weapon was such a game-changer! 🤩What I actually think is quite funny, though, is how everyone always knows everyone's true intentions behind their actions. 😂 Like Mao and JiaYu knowing WuYi had known about LeJun's poisoning, for example. Yes, they did an autopsy and found she was poisoned, but how could they possibly know all the rest? 🫣🤷‍♀️ But I guess that's just something I have to overlook when it comes to these relatively short dramas (here I am comparing C-dramas in general to some multi-season ones from other countries, mostly non-Asian). And now, onwards to the finale to see how this wonderful story ends... 🤗😉
