I'm thinking that it's Cuiling who might've blocked the shot but I think the gun exploding backwards would be way too funny

I don't really understand what Zichang doing when reading raw but realized Loulan "act like a villain", guess both father and daughter did the same thing.

Since I know what will happen later imma laugh for now

 

[izarist]

Did the gun explode backwards?

Yes

 

[Northern]

Loulan didn't kill herself.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there wasnt going to be one, considering majority of the chapters got deleted

Yes, I have seen ch 81 on one of the aggregator site. It's by the same team too (Bufo Bufo Scans).

For the longest time after reading the light novel, I couldn’t wrap my head around it. Sure, maybe he fell for Shenmei at first sight—but they never had any real connection or emotional bond. As he got older, wouldn’t he have matured past that initial infatuation? Why go SO far for her?

It wasn’t until I read the manga that things started to click. His loyalty wasn’t just about romantic feelings, it was also rooted in his duty to his clan and his alliance with Shenmei’s father.

When word reached her father that her mental health was deteriorating, It wasn’t just about an unrequited crush—it was a convergence of personal longing and political obligation. His concern and actions were driven by both his feelings for Shenmei and his responsibility to her family.

His same sense of duty to the clan is likely what drove him to shelter Dabao’s baby, before marrying her (😬😬) to obtain Shenmei.

He was always walking a tightrope between his crush (and honestly, I struggle to call it more than that) and his sense of responsibility. Over time, I think he leaned on his duty to the family as a kind of justification for continuing to harbor feelings for her, even after she repeatedly rejected him.

Maybe, in the end, it wasn’t just love, it was a tangled mix of family duty and an unresolved, unrequited crush that drove him to enable her, even when it crossed the line. Looking back, you start to see how much of his downfall came from never being able to separate the two. Given the way he died, you can argue both ways if he really understood his mistake or not.


Apologies that was so long I got carried away🥲

Seems like me like the entire Zi clan would be wiped. Zichang is guilty (insurrection). Shenmei is guilty (insurrection). Loulan is guilty (actively engaged in plotting against the emperor). Cuiling is guilty (actively engaged in plot against emperor). And that's all personal guilt.

Zichang... He could have avoided this entire mess by either leaving Shenmein in place, or locking her down once she was returned to the Zi clan. No plotting against the emperor (both with sabotage of the court and with direct insurrection). Then he and the clan would have been just fine. His actions are directly leading to the wholesale destruction of not only his clan, but his own personal bloodline in the clan.

Shenmei: She didn't "lose her balance" - she was a sociopath from the start. And Zichang didn't recognize that? BS!

Zichang is either a complete and utter simp, or a complete and utter incompetent. Or both. Either way, his clan gets wrekt.

If we go with Chinese culture, then even one person from a clan rebelled against the emperor, the entire clan would be executed — including relatives across nine generations, regardless of whether they were innocent or guilty. (and there would be no trial, just off with your head, unless the emperor personally pardons you)

So if Zichang wanted to save his ass and the clan, he would have had to either expel her and report her to the emperor preemptively, or kill her or imprison her in isolation — which I don't think he could bring himself to do.

My guess is that when she comes back to the clan, he hopes she would change, but by the time he realize her true personalities, it is already too late to stop her.
