Zhao, Yin and Ning finally re-encounter after that long time, but the re-encounter ends up being a sad one. Tbh, I cannot blame entirely Zhao on this, as his view, even if selfish, have some kind of common sense, especially after living that Hell. I honestly hope this will end in a happy note, but I doubt that will happen.

Also, Ning with her hair down is beautiful. Zhao may have lots of flaws, but his taste in women isn't one, that's for sure.

Finally they have reunited but under bad a situation. It kinda was obvious that neither Zhao or Yin will yield to one another, neither was gonna go with the other. Then here goes Ning entering in the middle and decided to go with Zhao, what a meddlesome creature she is. I sometime can't comprehend the stupidity of that sister.

I wonder what Yin going to do next, maybe save her or fight against in which I doubt it?

Sure was an interesting episode,

Was hoping Zhao had some sort of long-term master plan to defeat the empire from within. Well, it will probably still happen after some further character development. He sure is selfish though. His whole town was destroyed by the empire, he suffered greatly for it and now he's doing the same to other people. He really is despicable. At least the empress doesn't know any better.

Here we go, we've known this scene was coming for a long time and I think it was handled well.

Yeah, I agree. I know a lot of people will be critical of Zhao, and rightfully so, but if you don't understand where he's coming from then chances are that you've never had to struggle through life like he has. Actually, the same goes for Ning, with the added incentive of joining her love interest.

We also shouldn't forget how young all these characters are.

I actually thought Phu zao had some plan against Taibai lol turns out he's a genuine friend of the Empress

I hate Ning so much, she needs to die, just recently she's all about annihilating Taibai but suddenly all of sudden joins them and NTR his sister again, smfh if she dies in the end I'll give this a 10/10 the bitch more evil than the Taibai lol

wtf Ning... Yin didn't meet with Zhao before because she didn't want Ning to be sad, and then Ning just randomly go with him, casting aside the hate for the empire she showed in the last episodes? geez she better have a plan in mind when she does something like this


at the end scene, in the bath, was that Ning or the empress? they look similar ... but the empress has red eyes and that necklace seems like the gift she got

Actually, I think Ning did that on purpose to motivate Yin. Remember, up to this point Yin didn't really care about the rebellion or the destiny that had been placed. All she cared about was protecting her sister. Well, now that Ning has intentionally taken herself off of Yin's hands by turning herself in to the enemy, this might be the final push for Yin to fully commit to the rebel cause. Plus, Ning might have a secret agenda or her own, maybe gaining access to the palace through Zhao so she can kill the Empress. Although I think that's going to cause more harm than good for I think the Empress is an innocent victim in all this.

Yeah, I really don't like the sister. Now that she met Zhao again, her hatred for the Empire is forgotten in an instant apparently. Also, my suspicions of Zhao were correct, he truly is an awful person. And only a tool.

I wonder how the Empress will react to this development.
