I totally called it last week when I said Kai Er is trying to become Xing Ren’s friend so she can destroy her relationship with Zi Qi from within. If I could toss that scheming ho down a well, I would. I hate her continued evilness because I think it’s unnecessary, and the OTP have plenty of other obstacles and … Continue reading →
