"You've kept me waiting, kitten"
GALE DEKARIOS — [9/?]
It's very peaceful.
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, But sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art. - Rumi.
WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS SCENE
Bc okay you’re Jinshi right? You’re a 18-20something year old noble who just a WEEK ago had to fire this amazing, intelligent, perplexing girl who you’re lowkey crushing on. It was devastating but it’s what she wanted.
And in the midst of your wallowing you have to go play your part at some party the high ranking officials are throwing and you can’t even bother pretending to enjoy it bc you’re still mourning the loss of this awe-inspiring girl. Then this servant comes up to you and you tell her politely to bug off…
And then ITS HER
The very cause for your sorrows. And she looks pretty, not her normal self but still very pretty. And wait…this is a party for courtesans. Why is she at this party for courtesans???
AND SHE TELLS YOU NOT TO WORRY BC SHES NOT SELLING HER BODY OFF YET. BUT YOURE FREAKING OUT BC YOU THOUGHT YOU LET HER GO SO SHE COULD BE FREE TO BE SMART AND SUCCESSFUL BUT SHES WORKING AT A BROTHEL????
So yeah you’re going to buy her out immediately! You’d buy her out a hundred times if you had to. Oh my god, it’s all your fault she even had to reduce herself to this.
She wanted to stay?? She thought she was bargaining her position and you fired her like an idiot.
Oh my god.
Did Jinshi think that he and Maomao share a similar experience somehow? She covers her real face to protect herself. He masked his identity and manhood while he hid in the harem. They both seem to have other sides to them.
We all know Jinshi had a crush over Maomao since the day she grimaced at him, but I believe the moment he gave her his hairpin is the moment he truly fell for her.
In my opinion, he didn't fall for her because she's a beauty in disguise, rather her reasons what made an impact. Surely he was captured by her bare face, but what left an impression is her story.
He looked unsettled after hearing what she's been through, as if it's his fault that he allowed this to begin with. In that moment, he expressed a genuine reaction of dismay and compassion. As expressed in the series, the hairpin in general could mean affection, but it can also mean I'll look out for you.
Their conversation at the garden party is one of my favorite early moments of the series.
