It’s interesting that the Siji Manor blossoms on Qin Huaizhang’s painting are already colored in, when in ep1 Zhou Zishu was actively coloring in blossoms as people died.
This reminded me of peachpai’s comment on episode 12’s post that mentioned this tumblr post that talks about painting plum flowers between the winter solstice and spring.
1) I adore ZZS opening up to WKX and telling him about the guilt he feels re: Siji Manor and Tianchuang! (and it’s an interesting contrast to their conversation at the end of episode 17) And while it’s not revealed yet, both of their nightmares kinda center around the same thing – feeling responsible for getting their family killed.
2) I'm kinda surprised Bai and Hei Wuchang are still alive at the start of the series, considering they were there (and this gives WKX another reason to kill Bai Wuchang other than just taking out his anger on someone in episode 10). I love LFM’s flashback outfit! I’m not surprised she remained in position, considering she saved and helped raise WKX.
Semi-related question – did the show ever say why Wen Ruyu and Gu Miaomiao aren’t in disguise after leaving QHZ?
3) I think WKX still has very complicated feelings about Siji Manor, but now he gets why ZZS is clinging so hard to the shidi stuff. I love the that WKX’s processing includes playing the xiao for ZZS!
