Is this the same as the novel by the same name? The novel starts out with the FL dying and going back 15 years. So did they ignore all of this and ignore one of the main plots of the story? If so, I'm going to be very disappointed. I have only seen 2 episodes so far, but it is so different from the novel that I don't know what to think. The novel was so good.

I think the drama won’t follow the same plot at all. Even the family dynamics are different. Her father is not the same, the Yininang & the sister! I think they will keep the court scheming plot but change quite a lot of her romantic storyline, after all Sanye is not widowed & doesn’t have kids, they will have to find some way to get married because the difference in statues is too different right now…

Sad to say but they banned rebirth plots in historical China. Sometimes the director will change it in to having a nightmare/dream or reading a book and that's how it can be bypassed. Sometimes it's best just to let it go and think of it as a new to drama all together

San Ye is widowed, but it doesn't look like the drama gave him any children. Chen Yuan Qing was supposed to be his son, now changed to just adopted into the family, under his fifth brother's line.

The novel and drama are two very different things, because rebirth is banned, plus I think many people will be put off by her being in love with the ml's son in her first life, only to marry the ml in her second life. lol

Yes we just learned that he is widowed, I don’t think they mentioned it in the first episodes….. or did they ??
