- Like when she realizes her death was bc she was a vassel to poison him via s*x (before knowing why he never gave her a burial), she full on goes white lotus crying about how his life is so pitiful despite him treating her well overall other than leaving her dead body in a dark room (which supposedly she was upset by but she doesn't really seem that upset lol)
- Her affection for him is basically imo the remnants of Stockholm syndrome from her past life trying to always be on his good side so she wouldn't die as she lived in absolute fear of him the entire time..
- Not to mention the author made the EXECUTIVE literary decision to FORCE her to have s*x with him the GOOD OLD CLICHE CLASSIC ancient china "must bone someone or be in pain" powder, not once but like a disease that flares up 3 times... Like the author did that in 2022. Huh. That's some old taste in writing if you liked that. Imo. I am judging you. It's one thing if the powder happened, but it's another to see the author obviously lead the FL to force her to have that s*x with the ML in this life using that powder.
- And then the super classic white lotus moment I just read? She saw the ML be confronted with his enemies who were going to capture his closest confidants as "thieves" and so the ML just killed them as "thieves" in front of them to show no weakness nor let his secrets get out by keeping them alive. The FL sees this and the first thing she does when she sees him? Cries and feels so sorry for him that he has to sacrifice the people around him to stay alive. Mhmm. They kiss too. So cute /s ok. The white lotus doesn't really care about other people. I guess shes not really a white lotus then huh... What's the word for her. I swear there's a category for this.... Love-"I can change HIM he's good inside" girl? Idk. I mean he did not end up killing them but I don't think she knows that!!! But she still had her first reaction be like : I FEEL SO SORRY FOR Him (???) Girl please. They got stabbed in the chest for him.
- This bloody braindead logic in f*cking 2022 from the mc: the first thing she thinks to do after realizing the ML suffers a lot of assassinations and she's using him but not do anything for him is her plan: 1. Initially wanted to sneak away (?) Huh wtf to leave to return to her family to get married to protect both him and her family WITHOUT A NOTE.... 2. When confronted by him bc ofc she can't sneak away (he's a master NO sh*t U WERE MARRIED TO HIM EXPLAIN YOUR BRAINDEADNESS AUTHOR) she pretends she's "happy" to return to go get married for low taste dogblood conflict. Smh SHE SUPPOSED TO KNOW HIS PERSONALITY. HOW DOES THIS HELP?? WHERE IS COMMUNICATION IN NOVELS IN 2022. I DONT CATE IF THIS IS ANCIENT CHINA. THIS PLOT IS OLD AND CRUSTY.

"
Before the great cause is accomplished, if the relationship between the Yu family and Ning Yin is brought to light, it will be a catastrophe for both families.
The only thing she can do now is to keep her father and brother in a low profile and send Ning Yin back to his proper track."
So she thinks lying to him, breaking her promises to him, and leaving him to return to his carefree ruthless self and become king after SHES ALREADY forced him to help her & her family and falling into affection for her at this point. IS THE BEST FREEING IDEA FOR HIM...... Smh spits*first of all, if everything was supposed to be on the right track, her family isn't even supposed to be alive. Her point is completely bonkers. This novels logic is dogblood and dumb. SHE COULD HAVE JUST TOLD HIM THE TRUTH THAT SHE CARES FOR Him BUT ITS BEST FOR BOTH OF THEM IF SHE RETURNS HOME AND MAYBE THEY CAN BOTH WORK OUT A PLAN TO AVOID HER ASSIGNED MARRIAGE..... IDK COMMUNICATION??? f*cking wtf. I think you have to turn off your brain to read this and honestly not for me but I'll give it another couple chapters...
Honestly what has her family even done. They're only a bit wholesome too, as in we don't even get a lot of fun scenes with them either. They're just useless baggage no joke bc the author hasn't let them do anything but run around and be matchmakers. They can't protect shit
the ML is doing all the work and our FL spit him out while quietly waiting. Smh.
[collapse]Nope. I gave up. I don't understand how she can be this dumb. She knows how smart he is yet she thinks... And the things she does... The author cannot write 3d real characters for the life of them. This reeks of drama, events, or personality quirks for the sake of entertainment. But no real character or interesting plot. This plot and characters are so old and poorly written in the genre of rebirth ancient china - Not even in an enjoyable way personally.
