Amanda Ainsworth:

You mean the current nephew, who was SF's Brother Liu in LAR, right?

That current nephew's character is unreliable, playful and weak in my opinion. I think he will lose his reputation and throne. Probably he was never a throne candidate in his father (Emperor)'s eyes.

Yes!  Agree with you.  I was really hoping FL wouldn’t have a child with current emperor.  :/

Will the ml and fl reconcile in the end? 

The drama is a remake of Xiaozhuang Epic,

Dayu'er-FL

Duo Er Gun-ML

Watch from 27 minutes hmmm

The First Beauty of the Mongol race Dayuer, later known as Empress Xiao Zhuang, is privately pledged to marry Duoergun. However Emperor Tai Ji takes Dayuer as an imperial concubine and therefore seeds the hostility, quarrels and combats between Duoergun and himself.

Emperor Tai Ji passes away two years later. Duoergun prevails over dissenting views and makes Xiao Zhuang’s son Fu Lin, subsequently known as Emperor Shun Zhi, the ruler of the Qing empire. To protect the future of her son and the dynasty, Empress Dowager Xiao Zhuang keeps her relationship with Duoergun at arm's length.

Shun Zhi is a passionate emperor but his relationship with his true love Concubine Dong-e triggers animosity from the imperial family. Although Empress Dowager Xiao Zhuang manages to settle the problem, the depressed Shun Zhi dies not long after.

The deaths of her husband, lover and son wears Empress Dowager Xiao Zhuang immensely, but for the continuity of the Qing Empire, she returns to court politics and grooms the son of Shun Zhi, later known as Kang Xi, to be the new ruler

 Drama Empress:

hmm now we have to see how the director and writers gonna deal this  epic drama

FL gonna use the ML to make her son as emperor and they keep distance to achieve even after sacrificing everything for FL the young emperor dislikes him and maybe in this drama he will exile him

 pinksprings01:

Wow I feel so bad for the ML, the FL really doesn’t deserve his love

This character is almost a new Si Feng, suffering unjustly. (Even the actress said that when she heard she was going to be opposite Cheng Yi, she almost gave up on the role, because she knew that her character would be very unpleasant to Cheng Yi's character, and people would hate her.

In minute 7:29 hear the real voice of Cheng Yi (from a BTS of "Love and Redemption" 2020). (See that it looks like the voice he has in "The Promise of Chang'an".
