MAOMAO AND JINSHI STANS WE WON. Lives were fucking changed today omg, what an ending. This is already shaping up to be one of my fave Kusuriya arcs.
Classic trap set up with Jinshi being summoned to the northern lands for a hunting game. Kinda giving game of thrones and what better way to take out a political rival than under the guise of a “hunting accident” question is, will it be as obvious as it being Lord Shishou or is someone else talking advantage of the opportunity 🤔 either way, Jinshi clearly knew something was probably gonna happen which is why he invited Maomao aka the person he can rely on the most to save his life lol
Ended up being the other way around at least at the start of this arc with Jinshi having to do CPR on Maomao and save her from the assassins. The tension in that cave could be cut with a knife man I’m telling you, they’re so cute. I knew there was no way Jinshi was gonna let that opportunity pass without trying SOMETHING. That ending scene is so spicy omg. Is it gonna be a bait and switch ala Jinshi hearing something and just wanting to keep Maomao down OR is he actually finally gonna make his move following the advice of his mom last episode 🤔 either way, need next week ep BADLY.
I didn’t realize how small and delicate Maomao was until this episode either. She really is so precious and it’s such a cute contrast with Jinshi’s height and build 😍
