Spoilers from novel

 MadelineMaureen:

Can anyone help me. 

Does the novel have a reason why Song Mo's father hates him so much? Even before he joins his uncles army he was being beaten and thrown out of the house regularly. He is the eldest son and heir. All the siblings share the same mother, so I'm genuinely confused as to why his father is so hell bent from the jump to get ride of him. I would understand more if their wasn't abuse prior to him joining the army. 

I can't tell if Han was equally abused as a child, but I know that their father dotes on him. And reading some novel spoilers is a bit of a mini me to the duke. So was it that the father was able to better mold the younger brother, and Song Mo was more willing to fight back and run to his maternal family?  Does it really just come down to Song Mo's father not being able to break and remold him? 

Song Han only shares the same father with Song Mo.  His mother is a mistress which makes him illegitimate and have no ties to the Song family.  Being a illegitimate child is the lowest and worst status anyone could  have.  His mother never married into the Duke/Song Household as a concubine b/c Song YiChun sent her away after she gave birth to him.  Song Han grew up under the impression that he and Song Mo shared same parents until he was around 10 years old.  

Song YiChun is average/not too smart guy.   He is not thorough, proud and arrogant.   Song YiChun's dad (Old Duke) entrusted him with a task in which he failed and was in trouble for.    It  was Madame Jiang's brother who told on him to the Old Duke.  Song YiChun was very furious and felt betrayed and also put the the blame on Madame Jiang.  After that incident, the Old Duke granted Madame Jiang the authority to run the household.  Song Mo is being hated b/c of Song YiChun's relationship with Madame Jiang and that Song Mo is closer to Jiang Meisun.   Song YiChun do not want the title to be inherited by Song Mo b/c he believes Song Mo will benefit the Jiang family more and that he will not have a place in the duke household.  

Song YiChun than thought of a plan in which he would switch out Madame Jiang and Li Niang (mistress)'s babies since they were both pregnant around the same time.  Song YiChun wanted to use this as a way of torture esp when and if Madame Jiang finds out that the baby she doted on is not her baby.  Song Yi Chun wanted the second son, Han to be on his side and make sure he has no familial ties to the Jiang family.      

Song Han was doted and loved by his father, mother and brother.  Song Han didn't know of his real identity until he was around 10 years old.   His mother saw him on the streets when he was on his way to school/lessons.  His mother approached him and told him everything and even show the girl (who resembles a young Madame Jiang) who was switched with him at birth.  Since then, he knew he can't turn his back on his father b/c he will be the only person who will support him.   Song Han also gaves money to the real mom so she doesn't bother him.

I am reading the novel Blossom and it is SO FRUSTRATING that mydramanovel is constantly totally down, or other times the site is up but the links aren't working.  

Monday - or maybe it was yesterday - no links on any novel worked. You could get to the novel page and see the list of chapters, but if you clicked on any chapter you would get an error message. I tried multiple novels as well as earlier chapters of Blossom, and no link worked.

Today - or at least right now - the entire site is down  (message that server is "busy" and to try again later).  

I am so frustrated! Is there any other site with this novel on it? 

I read the novel using google trans way before they finished translating the novel. If you are okay with that, you can check the "Link for novel" discussion thread. We have given a lot of links.

Just started reading this and it seems to me that Song Mo's reputation in the book, before going back in time, was much much worse.....but it does seem to be already sowing the seeds of doubt in Dou Zhao's mind about the legitimacy of his reputation even in the beginning. He supposedly has a house full of concubines that would revival the Emperor, and is even rumored to have took two daughters  who were 'minor's' into his household by force.....but DZ points out to her husband that in 10+ years of having concubines, not only has Song Mo produced no children but many of those women have left with SM making no attempt to bring them back.... to me its already showing that everything about him isn't what it seems....like she is already questioning if he is actually  bedding these women... 

Someone please spoil this for me, is DZ the only one that went back? I am on chapter 90 and Ji Yong is definitely giving vibes like he knows whats what.
