The Princess's Gambit Episode 1

Episode begins with the fl hiding with her…

Episode begins with the fl hiding with her younger brother running away from the Marriage Alliance. To be honest I'm waiting for myself to put this in NOT INTERESTED, cause I don't like Harem type, where the ml will have other wives, concubines etc. So I'm out. Let's see how many episodes I can watch. Shen Zaiye, the ml, he's the Left Chancellor. They made the bridal procession wait until dark to enter the city. Omg there are wolves the gate, she thought she heard something, it's true believe in your instincts. The wolves attacked them, while she forced them to open the city gates. The scenes are really good though, the close up and the quality it's all good. Someone asked fl if she was pleased with the gift today and Bam someone hit her head from behind. The fourth prince heard about the attack and went to the gate, only to find his brother there punishing the princess's servant. Wtf Shen / ML was following a shadow, but he suddenly realised her was drugged, and then fl came and pounced on him to kill him cause she thought he was here to hurt her. Thank god smart him, he understood she was drugged too and didn't come here of her own accord. Asking her whatever she knows. He heard her identity and was shocked for a sec, who drugged the alliance princess and lured me here? The opposition schemed against left chancellor and used The Princess for it. I feel really bad for her, as soon as she arrived in Qi she was involved in this mess, and if this marriage is cancelled then when she returns to her country her and her brother's life will be at stake. Changjue her brother's name, I wrote this for myself for future reviews. It was a really good first episode, thumbs up from me.

Marriage alliance gone wrong

The story starts with Princess and young Prince hiding. They were just about free when the wood scaffolding collapsed and gave them away. The Princess agrees to a marriage alliance if her young brother will be spared. She is reminded that as long as she returns intel home, her brother will be kept safe. Once she arrives they are kept outside until wolves attack. She and bodyguard make it inside the gate and while the guard is fending off wolves the Princess is knocked out. The chancellor is working on a counterfeit case. He has caught an underling official that trades young women rather than money. I felt sorry for the man til I heard what he was guilty of.😝 I can honestly say I never would have thought of glutinous rice balls as a means of torture, but they got the job done. He is called to a meeting where there is an impressive exchange with a would be assassin. After dealing for a map he is drugged with a powerful aphrodisiac and comes across the princess who has had her wedding attire changed for a robe and presented like a courtesan. After he finds out who she is he does not sexually assault her but does choke her. He is stopped and the rage in court is started. This was a plot by one of the prince’s brothers to demean the 4th prince and get rid of the chancellor at same time. She is considered deflowered tho not, but she knows better than most that the truth is whatever the powers that be says that it is. She knows that the only way to keep herself and her brother safe is to have this marriage alliance go through, and in spite of the circumstances, she is determined to make it happen. A very eventful first episode. Well done.
