I didn't thought that he was tortured for 8 years, fed poison for 8 years, the life he had until he learned how to stay ahead of everyone. Getting beaten brutally, it's so sad that Duan wu teared up hearing his story. Duan wu staying with him when he was vulnerable & sick is so good, that was literally a slap in Zhang's face. I really want to see a happy ending for them. :) It was a perfect episode <3
In episode 14, he made her prepare tea for him following such a long prescription and when she says "I didn't know you were so picky", he just says "the journey is long, I don't have anything to do"? highlight of this episode, and the Emerald part he's so jealous that only Emerald has the right to be with Nanyang Pearl?, If he could he would've crushed that moonstone?. I was giggling and kicking my feet when Duan wu was teasing him. She roasts the flatbread and gives it to him, and he's like *huh* *oh for me so sweet my future wife*, that scene is so cute and she gives it to Kang Ju too (he's such a cutie character) , did you people notice the way he was smiling when Yan Zi Jing got close to Duan wu to teach her archery (yeah teaching my ass, just wanted to make Zhang Jealous?). *Eat mine* yeah she'll eat you for sure. "I heard you went to fetch water today, BUT YOU GOT NOTHING" "You came first BUT WERE NOT SERVED, Maybe you're in the wrong place". I loved the whole episode, it was so wholesome
Everything was like a Manga adaptation, like leaving half scenes and starting from something new. Well, I did like this drama but the half cuttings of scenes I'm not interested in that, I just loved their chemistry so, I watched it completely.
I was really sad, that I finished 39 episodes so quickly, the ending was so sweet, tou tou asked her Master to give her a new beautiful name that means well educated, the most beautiful part of this last episode, Tian zhen and Tou Tou, his mother really was teasing and testing them, Tou T. attire was so sweet , she was looking much mature, Tian zhen got a talented wife. The final episode did end on a good note with master and his wife ( tian z's parents) , standing behind all the students worshipping their ancestors, while tou tou being their successor. Their expression said we can finally spend some time together now all the responsibilities have been given to tou tou and tian z. I'm satisfied with this ending, but I won't be able to get them out of my mind for a long time.
