the road to splendor 8-9

I think about this show a lot, but it still cracks me up thinking that the first thing Tingyun does after this strange man breaks into her bedroom and holds a knife to her throat is to close up her outer robe and his first reaction is to turn away awkwardly 😂

It’s funny, but in a sad way. Sad, in that the first thing that Tingyun is conscious of when her life is threatened is not her physical safety, but her chastity.

And Zhao Ling? He’s just… I’ve got no words for this dork. Who the hell breaks into a woman’s bedroom to threaten her for money, then lowers his knife, awkwardly looks away when he realizes she’s not formally dressed, burns his own hand as to not draw attention to the fact that he’s there, and then tells her that he doesn’t want to harm her or ruin her reputation? But then he still demands money from her?And actually has the audacity to be indignant when she stakes her reputation on him not hurting her? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yeah, because you literally just told her you wouldn’t 🤦🏼‍♀️

Someone bless this sweet, poor child.

Period dramas really know how to write intimate scenes without the characters even touching. That was the hottest scene in the series so far. Oh, girl, you’re a smart one. You’re not disgusted by the situation, but your heart is pounding and you’re losing your breath. What do you think could be the reason for that?
