Wow, saved by an imperial decree

I was wondering if he would be brave enough to refuse his marriage to his cousin and I was disappointed that he was going through with it. If that imperial decree didn't arrive on time, he would be married to a scheming woman while someone else waited for him, which is just despicable.

fast paced and emotional

a lot happened in this episode, but the messaging is very clear. extremely well executed and very effective in delivering emotions

He is in big trouble...

Now I know why love story needs to take time to build the emotions, especially for ML. FL was just a bate to catch head of thief group, but after living as husband and wife, he developed the deep affection towards FL. There is more more turning back for ML.
