So I’m still behind on MoLi *cries*, but I’m just gonna say this. Y’all are being too hard on MXY.

Sometimes I think that viewers forget that the characters don’t have all of the information that the viewers have. MXY knew that something was *off about YeLi, but he had no idea the extent of her trauma like we knew. He saw her cheerfully talking to herself many times, but he never witnessed her distraught and being comforted by her dead maidservant. He didn’t witness her agonizing with her servant over telling him the truth.

If you were to go back and watch the drama from the beginning and pay specific attention to what MXY saw, you’d see a lot of his wife sneaking around, being secretive, deflecting most of his flirting and being guarded (a lot of the time). WE had a good idea of what happened at Lishan, but YeLi spoke to MXY about it as if everything was fine there. He just didn’t know the extent of it as we knew, and it’s not fair to put all of the blame on him when he didn’t know. He never would have reacted as he did if he knew everything that we knew.

I also think about earlier on when YeLi wanted to heal his legs and he told her “if she didn’t want to be married to a cripple she could just leave.” One of the reasons he was resistant to healing in the first place was because he didn’t want pity.

I can see in light of everything why he took it so hard. She went behind his back to investigate HIS family, didn’t tell him (even if we understand why it was hard for her to) and then told him that she did it to pay off a debt. She also told FeiBai in private earlier that “clearing her family debt was the greatest comfort to her”. Even though WE know that she likes him romantically, I have never been convinced that she herself was fully aware of her own feelings.

MXY was not completely wrong in coming to the conclusion that she married and healed him, not out of love, but out of pity and obligation. He was understandably devastated, and his solution was to release her from her obligations to him. Considering all these things, I think the angst was very well done. The best angst is when you can understand both sides.

[prettymuchobsessive]

Exactly!!!

Been so annoyed by all the lame bullet comments about how ‘he wasn’t betrayed (by FL not telling the truth). It was YeLi’s mom/dad/family who stole the edict, it was not YeLi’s fault’. Yeah, she wasn’t the one who did the deed but she knew the entire truth the whole dang time and did not even think to tell him AFTER she accomplished her goals. And did not even end up telling him until he heard it from marquis MuYang, of all people.

All the comments saying she is mentally ill, she has trauma, etc. So, he didn’t? His family didn’t get dragged into the mud, his brother didn’t get put to death, he didn’t hurt his legs fighting the war for the country and was left untreated in the jail for half a year? And then he finally got out and became the laughing stock/disgraced royal of the capital for 8 years?

The comments saying that MXY broke his promise to not leave her alone again, as if YeLi didnt promise to not keep any secrets from him, all the while hiding the truth of the fall of his family and never even hinted that she knew anything. And technically, she left herself. He hasnt even fully digested everything other than writing the letter and she signed the divorce and up and left.

The funniest comments were the one saying MXY didn’t communicate/talk to YeLi after finding out the truth and went straight to divorce. Sooooo, did YeLi say anything about her plans the entire time she was married to him? Even if we start counting from when they made their affections clear to each other, it’s still a good chunk of time she could have said something, anything, to him. She told him nothing about her plans, nothing about the truth even after he gently coaxed her to confide in him instead of ‘QingShuang’ and tried to spend time with her whenever he can so she won’t be lonely. And when he confronted her about the truth, the only thing she said was she helped him with his legs and to solve the case was because of her mother’s debt to his family. Excellent communication on her part. 🤦🏻‍♀️ all he’s gotten from her is that treating his legs and solving the case is because of her mother’s debt. So he’s divorcing her so she has no more obligations to him and she’s free from him.

Of course as the viewer, i get that she’s scared of telling him the truth and has her own reasons for not saying everything, but the other viewers pinning the blame of the divorce arc on MXY alone is just 😓😓😓. Why is it so hard to take into account both sides of the narrative? 🤦🏻‍♀️ the mindless comments made my like of her character and empathy for the FL’s circumstances feel kinda useless because it’s like they’re justifying her mistakes for everything instead of taking it as something to improve on for the character development and then blame every single bad thing on the ML because he reacted like any sane person would after knowing the truth finally the way he did.

At least once he knows there’s more to the story about LiShan he immediately chased after her. Which shows how much he cares about her even though he’s still in turmoil over the revelation of her knowing the truth and hid it from him.

It’s like everyone is like ‘YeLi’s NEVER at fault because of her Tragic Backstory and everything she does can be justified. ML is bad because he should be perfect and should never experience human emotions and react accordingly’ ?????

Usually i don’t watch with bullet comments cos i dl the eps in advance but it’s like watching a train wreck. I can’t stop watching (until i got too peeved). I keep expecting to see some coherent comments about how shitty the circumstances is and how it could have not gotten till that point if they had just talked it out before it came to that but noooo. It’s just 99% straight dissing. 😖 idk if it’s just for the international viewers, but i also don’t wanna find out what the Chinese viewers have to say. Yet. Maybe after im done watching.

Finally starting MoLi since its ending soon. But, my gawds, that is def a S+ tier production! It feels like they hired about half the famous veteran actors in the cdrama industry, whew.

I love Leizi but watching the old geezers are def more fun 😆 the older ladies are def still beautiful and elegant.

I was sooo happy yesterday with the fancams but today is just 🔪🔪🔪 because i will never get over a Journey to Love, Ning Tou’er is my 白月光 and Feifei’s story is just tragic. At least Ning Yuanzhou died doing something he believed in and a hero. Feifei… Aish.

I cannot wait to watch this episode! Usually when watching KaiTui i’ll usually pay attention to at least Jin-jie and He, but when this episode is out and i manage to follow even half the story, it’ll be a win.

Oh, i remember this! No truck fucking, but also hard to explain...?

Basically, a lot of truckers feel VERY attached to their trucks, to the point where it's common for truckers to refer to them as their "first baby".

So, knowing this, this trucker's wife organised a photoshoot where her husband's "first baby" got to meet his "second baby". Kind of like those pregnancy photoshoots with dogs?

He thought it was great, and they shared it on social media trucker groups. In a turn i would not expect, a lot of other truckers got really emotional about it. Like, grown men cooing over a stranger's pregnancy photoshoot, going to their wives and asking if they can do something similar 🥺🥺🥺. All in all, strangely wholesome???

[fruitcakebro]

Ohhhh, the truck is the big brother :)
