First of all, thank you for the chapter. 😍
ReplyDeletePersonally I think, Jiang Bilan is the typical Misses that doesn't know how war works. Changlan doesn't have much choice but to kill those who resisted. In normal circumstances, I don't think she will sacrificed those lives.
Jiang Bilan just wants to act nice and generous. I'm pretty annoyed with her btw.😡😤
But Murong Yan also is a +$/-:,)=:*'3=6" . I feel exhausted with his and Changlan's relationship. I read the raws, and it's pretty heart wrenching for me. 😭😭😭
"she intends to usurp the position of the queen" PFT I almost coughed up blood.... Ah Zuo just wanted to do something good for the old man Wei, and here these people are stuffing words and intentions down her throat.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jiang Bilan is too much of a naive little girl. She has never seen war/suffering outside her own little bubble and can't understand that even if the people are innocent, the country/government they serve are not so. As a matter of fact, she's never seen a dead person until the assassination attempt right? I guess that's her appeal, as a foil to Ah Zuo. A finicky person who only cares about her own ideals with nothing to show for it; compared to Ah Zuo who works towards her ideals and knows what she has to give up.
Many thanks
I don’t believe JB naive at all. She try’s my to play her white lotus role while criticizing Ah Zuo as heartless person. I cant stand her, but hate MY even more for his stupidity when it come to her. Yes it is a heart wrenching novel indeed. If I were Ah Zuo I stay away from MY indefinitely...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter! I am really liking the story Moreland more as I keep on reading it 😊.
ReplyDeleteBtw I feel pity for Jiang bilan. She is truly a petite flower in greenhouse. Getting used by people around her, can't see through people's intentions even a tiny bit. But she is unaccomadating and stupid. She herself has gone through so much, yet she stubbornly judges other people, not knowing that she herself doesn't have the right to do so.🙄
