Episode 3

Our heroine is in her new home and third brother plays some tricks....with bad results

1.Our leading lady is sent to live in a lovely room...only to learn that it is actually the worse room and in essence like living in the cold palace--but she will not falter--while talking to her maid servant third master learns not only is she fake but that she has a plan to be the first lady of Au Bao (I probably spelled that wrong

2.Au Bao--her new home--is actually pretty cool. It is like a city that is self-sufficient, and one can see why Shi Wu Jie is considered the commercial king of the north--they even have their own army!

3.Third brother tells his older brothers about this but for whatever reason they pretend that they don't know she is a fake and also tell their little brother he is wrong--i guess they don't feel like he is responsible or good enough to be included in their plans :( aww poor little bro

4.One can see the extent of third brother's intellect--and arguably understand why the brothers kept him in the dark--as he tries to drive his new sister in law out through a series of shenanigans....that's right...and he just fails

5.First he takes her to the archery fields--she is a good archer, and earns the respect of the soldiers
Then he takes her to the weaving rooms--and she is skilled a weaver (is their anything she cannot do?)
Then he locks her inside the family shrine building (which is apparently forbidden but she was never told this)
6.Meanwhile, Shi Wu Jie meets with the third prince(?) who is requesting a lot of grain...unfortunately the city only has enough for themselves....this seems to be a test by the emperor who is ill and considering his heir
7.As he is walking around with the prince, the heroine (I laughed so hard, this was funny) climbs on the roof in order to escape and is admiring the view--and then our hero is staring up at her in clear irritation

8.But wait...she charms the prince who is from her hometown! (but our hero apologizes and says she is a brute--exact quote) (i feel like the hero is working hard to not like her but he will lose...)

9.Anyways, prince has a cough and our leading lady makes him some food--and when her learns of this he calls her unfaithful (pretty harsh) but she actually helps him in finding a solution to the prince's grain problem....i think Shi Wu Ji already likes her and is jealous O_0

10.Third brother is not done with his tricks...he fakes an illness gets some laxatives (what a jerk--not only is this cruel and humiliation, it is extremely dangerous to one's health but he is doing this for his family//sees her as the enemy....what did my girl do that was so bad...?)

11.He gives her these laxatives as water as she is cooking congee for the children....and she isn't thirsty but she DOES add it to the food--and third master just gapes like this :O

I really like her. I think she is spunky, direct, and relatable--while she is innocent it isn't at that ridiculous/moronic way that makes you want to tear your hair out and her imperfections are both clear and believable, making her more human.

I can already see that second master will fall for her--I hope there isn't an annoying love triangle--and hero is already showing subtle signs of liking her though he doesn't know it yet. I like his character, and his attitude are consistent with someone that age and someone in such an important position of authority--he is a bit of a bully but not in an over-the-top exaggerated way but in a way that is believable because were he to be over the top/super mean no romance would be able to develop (i think, given the direction the show is taking)

Random Side note: he does not remember meeting her/she has not returned the jade pendant

Also Random: I really like his dark robes
