Ghosts

Wen said that before liberation people were made ghosts, and this is definitely true. He also said the liberation made those ghosts back to people. That is also true. But it fails with intellectuals, white collar workers, and people who had their own means of supporting themselves by making them ghosts. Suppression is still alive and well. The only thing is the suppressed have become the suppressors. Her sis in law has become a Yang mini me. I can’t find her crush on him cute because she is treating others just like he does. I couldn’t sympathize with him about the loss of his mom because they literally forced him to go home and he was so determined to suppress the evil capitalist, that he saw that as the better way to spend his time. I don’t even have words for that miserable wretch that said the dress was for her granddaughter and then sold it. Sending her home is something they probably dread more than she does.😝 Yi turned her down flat with her business plan, and was actually trying to motivate herself teaching the classes they forced on her. But those actions and efforts were not considered by the organization. She was condemned for making 3 dresses and the true guilty one was ms truthful neighbor😝 for pointing the blame to the one they wanted guilty. Yang saw her conditions, mocked her to work with her hands, and then condemned her for doing it. He then went on to denounce Minister Wen and made himself the law of the land because he was in charge of the local businesses. Truth was whatever he said it was. So, while the power of leadership has definitely shifted, how much has truly changed? If you have to live as a spy and report every infraction to party line rules, how is that existence so much better? Yi was supposed to rejoice that her husband turned out to be a loyal communist so now she is trustworthy and has a legacy to continue. She hasn’t changed, their perspective lense now allows her to be who she is. Sis acting joyful that she could talk to her now. Why should Yi rejoice? They could have always spoken. I am glad she left while the director was still talking. What could her words possibly mean to her other than confirming the death of her husband? No other words mattered. The majority of people think things will improve when power is exchanged. The potential is indeed there. But the roots of greed and power tend to corrupt any leadership. When the suppressed are put in charge, one would think those who were bullied would be the best masters. But often they just turn into bigger bullies. I am thinking Minister Wen’s business trip was to find out what exactly happened to Zhou Yuan. What I am curious about now is if Yi will leave Shanghai now? There is no reason to wait or stay.

What about Danzhou?

A perfect score episode. I can't even describe how much I loved it, and I was eating dinner 🍽️, and I just set aside my plate to watch the episode first. First of all, what I wanted to see the most is action scenes, what I expected from "The Legend of the Female General" was action scenes like these, but got only 2 or 3 anyways, this episode was fire 🔥. Fan Xian faked the attack, led Xiao En away from the mission, his fight with Xiao En was awesome 💯. XE asked if Fan Xian knew something about Danzhou. Just then the Saintess of Beiqi, the last disciple of Ku He, Haitang or Duoduo arrived, Fan Xian was already injured and tired but his fight with XE, then he fought with her too, quite a likeable character, he fooled her saying he used aphrodisiac on her🤣, he left everyone speechless and her fuming 💢😡. Suddenly XE's adopted son Grand General of Beiqi, Shangshan Hu arrived and FX fought his third duel of the day, a Ninth Dan martial artist, even the Saintess is above the Ninth Dan, FX couldn't win ofcourse. Even Yan Xiaoyi arrived with his bow and arrow 🏹, a Ninth Dan Archer, FX's got a huge fan following, so many people want to kill him. It didn't end there, even Guo Baokun arrived with his hired killers, to be honest I didn't expect them to be truly war veterans, I thought there were just peasants, but when I saw that the leader truly looked like he fear nothing and jumped straight into the battlefield it was brave, even though they all died at the hands of Yan Xiaoyi, but they were brave men. Fan Xian protected GBK and asked him to accuse YXY when they return to the capital and to become his ally and share connections with him in return he will help him and beg the Emperor to release Minister Guo , a fair deal 🤝. Xiao En reminded him that no Black Knights were seen in this entire thing, not a sign that they are even following, yeah since CPP withdrew them all. XE warned him to not trust CPP too much, and find more allies, yeah in all this big scheme he does need allies. It was such a fine episode. Si Lili took an arrow for FX, while FX and Duoduo sat on the bank of river and had a proper conversation without fighting haha, she's an interesting character.

Doctor’s Mine: A Simple BL with a Lot of Heart

Am I the only one who loves this show? The writing may be poor and the plot weak at times, but not every BL needs to be perfect to be worth watching.I really love both couples. Kan and Per confessing their love in the tent was so sweet, and Mid forgiving Knight so they could finally become boyfriends truly warmed my heart.The acting is also really good between Mon and Pak. Mon is hilarious, and the way he gets so jealous and obsessed with his doctor is honestly the cutest thing ever. Both brothers being completely obsessed with their doctor boyfriends makes the title Doctor’s Mine make perfect sense now.I honestly enjoy this show. Sometimes a simple story can still be a good one. That’s why it makes me sad to see so many negative and hateful comments. Imagine the actors who worked so hard, pouring their blood, sweat, and tears into their roles, and the hundreds of staff and crew who spent hours and hours bringing this show to life. Reading those harsh comments must be heartbreaking for them.For me, I choose to enjoy it. A simple BL can still bring joy, and this one did exactly that. 💖✨ #LoveWins #SupportBL #DoctorsMine

Episode 11: A Love Too Great, A Fate Too Cruel

A big round of applause for the emperor’s courage, daring to hold the hand of his beloved as they walked through the Lantern Festival night market, a love so radiant even the shadows of history could not dim it. His devotion to ShuHe was boundless, he was ready to abandon the throne, to forsake the years of struggle and sacrifice, all for the sake of love.Yet those fleeting moments of tenderness gave way to betrayal and lies. What the emperor could not see was that ShuHe’s heart and mind were never fully aligned. In his heart, he still carried love for Duan ZiAng, but in his mind, he clung to the dream of restoring his fallen kingdom. And while he reached for both, time betrayed Duan ZiAng. Poison was already coursing through his body, a silent thief stealing away his days.Now only one episode remains, one last night before this masterpiece reaches its end. It feels as though I only just stepped into their world, yet the kingdom I entered in episode one is already crumbling before my eyes. Their love cannot be extinguished like this, yet love has become entangled with hatred, with lies, with betrayal.Duan ZiAng, your strength was never your throne but the depth of your heart, willing to give up everything for ShuHe. ShuHe, your love was torn between loyalty to a fallen kingdom and the man who was ready to die for you. I do not want to say goodbye, but the story has already written its final chapter. If only love were enough to rewrite destiny. If only one more night together could last forever. My heart shatters for you both, for a love too great and too fragile to survive the cruelty of fate 💔

Scheming to kill his Excellency

What Wang Qinian told FX, FX was sure that Xiao En would definitely kill Wang Qinian, he talked with XE, and literally I feel so bad for Si Lili, she told him her real name Li Lisi, or something like that, and she wanted to protect herself, the one who suffers between the war of 2 nations. She cried hard. While Wuzhu went to fight the Great Master of Beiqi, Ku He or whatever his name was, ah the Saintess's first appearance. YXY (former director of Imperial Guards) is also heading towards the route where FX is heading, to kill him, he sure has such a large fan following, so many people wants to kill him. Chen Pingping oh my, he withdrew all good black knights, and left FX alone as per Shadow, he mentioned it, that it took him so much time gain Fan Xian's trust, I don't know what to believe in anymore. Xiao En warned FX not to trust CPP. He intends to talk to Xiao En to know more about his mother.

A disguised birthday

Their last moments together as Shuang and Duan Ao Deng were beautiful, yet heart-wrenching (in a good way)~ That birthday scene was one of them. The hurt expression on Shuang's face when DAD's subordinate came to inform him of the preparations for his birthday (which was that day) stirred the emotions in him. (We all know he can't bear to see her hurt ಥ⁠‿⁠⁠ಥ) Still, our Shuang gave him a 'present', a sword dance she once did together with him, in hopes of making him remember her, in the hopes of telling her he already remembers their past. However, he didn't.. And that was when she finally let it go.. This is just my assumption, tho..
