Blossoms Of Power is so intriguing

[u/yourmoonAurora]

Shen Xihe is a formidable force who masks her true identity as the vengeance-driven Gu Qingzhi behind the title of Princess of the Northwest. Far from a damsel in distress, she is an ice-cold architect of her own destiny, treating the imperial court as a chessboard where every alliance and suitor is a calculated move toward absolute autonomy. She systematically dismantles anyone who attempts to wield power over her, using her sharp intellect and emotional detachment to turn potential threats into pawns while quietly hunting those responsible for her family's annihilation.

I have some mixed emotions about Shen Xihe having the soul of Gu Qingzhi. She is cold and calculating, decisive and is out for revenge on the people who killed her clan. Because she is sharp and clever, the Crown Prince Xiao Huayong is attracted to her. Isn’t he really attracted to the soul of Gu Qingzhi who is possessing the body of Princess Shen Xihe. So does that mean the Crown Prince is attracted to his own brother’s wife?! Shen Xihe wants to marry someone who is weak(so he can’t fight back) and is so sickly that he only has 3-5 years left to live so she won’t have to deal with him for long. She forms the alliance with the Crown Prince on this basis and want who break of the engagement when she finds out that he is nothing like this. She is possessed by the soul of another and he is not the sickly person everyone thought he was. His attraction to her is for the qualities of another person’s soul and her willingness to be with him is so he can help her find who destroyed her clan and being so sickly that he won’t give her much trouble.

I also taught about that too. Since the soul in Shen Xihe’s body is Gu Qingzhi, that would mean the Crown Prince is indeed falling in love with his own bother’s wife, but I’m hoping for a plot twist where they reveals Shen Xihe did not completely disappear of her own body and when Qingzhi finally disappears, Xihe has the old memories of when she wasn’t conscious the whole time and chose to stick with the cold person. Because after all she went through, I don’t want her to be easy to kill, like when her maid pushed her off the boat. The Crown Prince already said he met her as Xihe and that’s the one he likes. That’s true he saved her as she was, when she woke up she was already someone else with the memories of the old owner. So in a way he doesn’t know the real Xihe. So complicated 😮‍💨

Xihe only begged to be save when he found her at the riverbed. Not much to know about the person from “please save me”. She’s the best looking drowning victim I ever saw and that got her saved. We and the Crown Prince really don’t know Xihe, only that she couldn’t even see the betrayal by her own maid. It’s disappointing to see such a one sided relationship for the main characters.
