I’m already theorizing about how Lu Qing’an is going to avoid detection. He didn’t take the poison, so he won’t have the yearly attack. That means he’ll have to fake it or find a cure. Maybe the Longevity Tower can help? Or maybe he can leave before the year ends. The stakes are clear.

I have to mention the hairpin scene again. The way the daughter says, “That’s the pin Father gave you, you’re not allowed to use it to hurt yourself,” hit me. It’s such a small moment, but it shows she respects the original body’s memories and relationships. Not just survival—she’s trying to preserve something.
