They both contributed equally to the case. You literally cannot tell which idea was who's, but the distinction is still clear for others.

He is a man, he gets recruited. She is a woman; she gets a reward.

Like Madam Yu. She puts so much effort, but the best she can get is rewards. Positions and power given to the men of her family. She herself only get the honor of being connected to those men.

After many dramas with a false sense of 'women being appreciated' in the society, this is frustratingly real.

And they hammer on it with the meeting with the prince as Tingyun asks for her rewards.

She tells the prince of her struggles and her ruined family. She tells him that she desperately need the document changing her identity from the Fu daughter to the Xie daughter. And what is his response?

Starting with a shared goal and the willingness to partner with someone, even begrudgingly, there is a foundation of trust and or shared values?

And then you get to know them, you feel sneaky together, you are in CAHOOTS (best place to be in a relationship in my opinion)?

Then you….

Defend him in front of the imperial family that can work as a team

You have the teaching each other montage where you TOUCH HIS ELBOW?

He buys you every bolt of a specific silk in town

You just ‘swoon’ over him with the ladies

He picks you up!! And then PICKS YOU UP!!! So you don’t touch a puddle and get those pretty shoes wet

He gets you some of your favorite food

You scheme together and plot

She makes her self look like a HUSSY and runs and HUGS YOU — IN PUBLIC??? And just obliterates her reputation for you??

She constantly lifts you up and encourages you to look further and be better

You sneak money in her bag to make sure she has funds on the way out 😭😭

The lines blur, fake moments feel real, the feelings start to bubble and then boom, it boils over and things get messy and I’m over here gnawing at my enclosure because this is EVERYTHING.

Primordial Gwi Mae. I will give you whatever you want. In return, grant me your power so that I can save the Princess.
