Four Stars

"O tempo só pode mudar as coisas que não eram firmes o suficiente para começar." O que é realmente sólido (convicções profundas, caráter, valores enraizados, vínculos verdadeiros) não depende das circunstâncias nem da passagem dos anos. Pode até ser provado, pressionado ou amadurecido, mas não se dissolve. Já aquilo que muda “com o tempo” normalmente não mudou por causa dele em si, e sim porque nunca teve fundamento na rocha e sim na areia. Por isso pessoas que vivem para o transcendente são inevitavelmente superiores aquelas que vivem para o efêmero.Finalmente a Xu Qin comentou algo útil, mas ela ainda não merece o Song Yan e como a Li Meng sabiamente comentou, o Yan é um masoquista. Li Meng objetivamente é uma escolha mais racional que a Xu Qin.

The hydra that is Sima brothers

Law has wreaked havoc with the staff over advertising and Pei pulls out his survival plan. This crashes the products but saves the staff. Law has caused a lot of debt and makes Pei look like an amateur with his early efforts. They are Zhou upgrades and are like Matrix Mr Smiths patrolling everything against their company line. Pei was just getting rid of brother one when two more arrive. They cause even more grief and malcontent than Law did. Pei’s fancy apartment was sold but at least he no longer has that debt. Father Sima is MIA and cannot even be contacted by Xin. Pei is stepping up to take care of his employees through the waves of chaos. It was interesting for him to tell Law how everything wasn’t about money. He has learned the lesson elder Sima wanted him to learn, but good luck getting the sons to recognize the truth of that. Are they trying to tank the company in deals with dad like Pei had? Or are they just spoiled rich men blinded by power and avarice? Pei is doing his best to hold the line but he really could use some help.

FUNNY

Aw, the disappointment on He Yan’s face when she wasn’t selected to join the battalion. All her work prob felt like it was for nothing. There must be a reason though. She even broke his guzheng when she was drunk but he didn’t really say anything. That was his prized possession and he didn’t even get mad. He even told her there’s no need to kneel. He Yan also hugging his waist😭😭. I think the fact that Dudu knows she’s a woman but she doesn’t know that he knows is even funnier. AHHH. He saved her head from hitting the floor by grabbing the back of her neck. Slowburn who? Dudu was completely taken away by He Yan wearing female hanfu.

REWATCH FIRST THOUGHTS AGAIN

Cheng Lei in the armor with the blood on his face was the best visual to start off with getting introduced to his character. You can instantly tell the deep care He Yan has for the Xiao general, who mentored her and gave her the sword. It’s not just a power play for her, but for He Rufei it is. Xiao Jue gave her the last osmanthus candy in the world when he didn’t know who she was. He simply comforted her and motivated her to live even if blind. I’m noticing so much I didn’t when I first watched it. “Bitter on the outside, sweet on the inside.” Describes Xiao Jue perfectly. He also lied to her saying the moon was pretty, starting the symbol of the moon with their relationship. He Yan is so powerful, the fact she used her hearing and other senses to hold up a fight that long, unarmed is amazing.
