The First Jasmine Eps 31 & 32 -- major spoilers ahead
I mean, I get it, Mo Xiuyao. You were avalanched by so many feelings with Ye Li's admission of what happened to the decree & its relation to her mother. That she knew about it all along was something that made everything worse.
You hated to be pitied, you didn't want her to stay out of guilt, I get it.
Still didn't stop me from gloating that it didn't take you long to get full blown remorse for your hasty reaction. You know Marquis Muyang was sowing discord between the two of you -- the time you took to ruminate over the revelation should have brought you further in terms of processing the situation but noooo ...
You did not take this time to cool down.
You did not take this time to think how your wife has always treated you, the care and affection she has shown you.
You had to pitch a fit and write her a letter of divorce, all teary.
You didn't even look at her.
You didn't see that she looked catatonic.
Of course you ignored the letter she left you, thinking work was the solution. You raged at your staff because their joy stings you with the reminder of how she made that success possible.
Of course you had to get drunk and then clumsily attempt to win her back.
Ah, your dawning horror as the truth about her was slowly revealed was utterly delicious. The guilt. The confusion. The terror that it was too late to make amends. Hahahaha!
Then you see her at her home.
Her desolate, creepy home. Where she is painfully alone, and has been for God knows how long. You see for yourself that she barely had any food, nor decent furniture.
You see how her vacant expression brought to mind the term: the wheel is turning but the hamster is dead.
The gaps in her memories. Her insistence that her people are just at the back hills.
Her continued worry about your greying hair.
And now you pay the price for your careless cruelty.
You will have to figure out how to deal with her delusions without harming her further.
You will have to find out what actually happened to the people in Li Shan.
And then you will have to figure out how to make good on all your promises to her that you broke with your callous ignorance and selfishness.
You deserve to suffer this torment of your creation. Hahahaha!
