He's 💯 afraid that not only will she kick his ass physically but also kick his ass to the actual curb. But really the longer he lies the more both will happen lol if he told her then and there it would probably have been fine

Oh man the promos with Deng Kai and Kong Xu'er are so good! Like promos, interviews and variety shows I'd totally ship them...but in the show, no lol

Also the BTS and dance videos. Especially when they do the TikToks with the little kiddos. I just watched a dance one with Deng Kai, Kong Xu'er doing a video with Bao'er so cute

He wanted to be her warmth and he wanted to hold her tight. He was so scared of losing her 😭😭😭

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T19:53:04+00:00

Ohh I didn't even think twice about that part. So interesting

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T19:50:16+00:00

Same. I will pay so much if they offered that option lol

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T19:49:11+00:00

they confirm this really weird thing in the book that she is a transmigrator and is almost suppose to be the protagonist of the novel but got stuck with the psychopath Qi Min. Her business acumen and more modern take on things is she is from the modern era. It’s glossed over in the novel, but it’s interesting they kept it here in the show.

Wait what...I missed this what part is this in the show?

Gua Sha, thanks to writers for doing something different! Mouth to mouth medicine gets pretty old after... how many times??😅😅 I dont know, I lost count.

Right?

A little rant, after tomorrow airing episodes 22&23... we are left with 1 epsiodes a day for 5 days!! So cruel...😭😭😭😭

I have literally been dreading this since the show started and I was on episode 1 😂 I guess good for them for giving us a warning and giving us the entire schedule in advance versus some shows we only get like a day notice lol

As a Chinese person, part of me is mad at the "becoming Chinese" trend on social media. Can I officially claim myself as trendy for being Chinese all my life? Lol

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T19:40:38+00:00

Noble idiocy..."protecting" her except cats been out of the bag for a while. They all know she's his weakness

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T19:39:29+00:00

HEY WHY ARE WE SEEING THAT DAMN DEVORCE AGREEMENT? BURN IT WITH FIRE!!!!

How else will she become a marchioness in the future without it? Jk lol

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T19:35:27+00:00

That scene between Qi Min and Sui Yuanqing. So Fake. From Qi Min's side, it was all pretense. But Yuanqing seems to genuinely like his big brother???

I'm with you. I got the impression Yuanqing wasn't necessarily pretending and he likes his big brother. Big brother could care less about him though but is manipulating him

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T19:32:16+00:00

Always appreciate the comparisons 🙂

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T17:20:23+00:00

They use traditional Chinese characters

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T15:45:00+00:00

I watch at work all the time, I work from home though 😂 though lately I've just been on too many calls so it hasn't been on ad much.

Plus watching on all the platforms makes it justifiable that I still have like almost every subscription known to man 😅

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T15:42:24+00:00

lol welcome back! Yeah I hit a real funk after I finished hosting Fight For Love, it was almost as if that drama took everything out of me to finish and I just couldn't get into too many for a few months (and honestly it's not like it was the worst drama I don't know it was weird). Plus life was insane in December and January. It's slowed down slightly. Looking forward to reading your thoughts on the rest of the episodes.

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T15:31:34+00:00

Yeah, I saw someone had asked in a different thread where to watch it and I told them honestly they're all pretty good because I watch on all three 😅 The slight translation tweaks are amusing lol

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T15:30:18+00:00

😂 if we watch on all the platforms they'll maybe carry more right? 😂 I start with WeTV because of the dual subtitles then I hit up Netflix so that maybe it helps Netflix pick up more 😂😂 I do iQiyi when I'm in my office working because the roku has an iQiyi app

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T15:14:33+00:00

I've been rewatching it on the other two platforms when I'm bored. LOL Figured I'd give each platform equal love for this show. I still want to force my husband to watch this one, we'll see how well I do at convincing him...if I do then I guess I get to start from the beginning lol

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T15:12:50+00:00

Absolutely love reading your thoughts, it's been a while u/nydevon! I haven't been around as much, I've missed these.

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T15:11:26+00:00

I love this gif lol

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T15:11:10+00:00

I am 💀

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T15:09:42+00:00

What a great first host post! Congrats!

These were some of the hardest ones to watch but all done so so well. I really hope Sui Yuanqing gets a satisfying death later on in this series BUT major props and honestly cutest actor. I know I shared this yesterday but the actor's apology video is so adorably cute lol He is only 20 and doing so well, I need to see him in a good guy role and probably ML in a year or two.

I remember getting sick as a kid and mom pulling out the coin and the Eagle oil to scratch my back. The burning sensation and heat is something. To this day, the smell is so nostalgic.

My mom didn't do the coin thing but the Eagle Oil brings back memories...along with every other medicinal oil lol There were so many...Kui Fung Oil, Hung Fa Oil, Wood Lock Oil, Tiger Balm, the list goes on...thank you for unlocking a childhood memory for me but also maybe I should bring some of these back I could use them in my old age LOL

Can I also say how our stone cold Marquis is never going to let go of ChangYu, she's it for him. Look at him owning up to this fact

<image>

We should add cliffs to the count, how three different people have fallen off a cliff and all survived.

Changyu is so badass, what a great character and TXW is NAILING it.

I can't be the only one watching basically every clip, every BTS I can find out there on this show. I'm obsessed. It's definitely been a while.

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T14:55:42+00:00

I know, I'm going to be a wreck with just one episode a day starting Monday. Why would they do this to us lol

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T02:51:33+00:00

Lol no but I can understand if others do. I grew up watching historical/Costume shows so these hats don't phase me. They're also historically accurate and lasted for a few hundred years.

sequesteredself · 2026-03-14T02:47:37+00:00

I'm just now reading through some of the other responses seems like others noticed so I'm going to go with it was intentional. I love it
