Euphoria:

honestly what is a guy doing here

I feel you.... lets just hope something good in k-drama, American/British tv series or anything else drops and we don't have to see eachother anymore. 

 Ayinke737:

I get what you mean. But what I'm trying to say is that our choice of words could lead to misunderstandings. 

Well he did force himself on her most of the time using the entitlement “HUSBAND”

 サモンタ_サン:

the only time he slept with her without consent is when she was drunk and unconscious.  Her first time was consent and the rest was mostly forced.

I think it was the time she conceived Fei Fei.

thank you for that. I am glad that at least one person knows what rape is and made a conclusion about what kind of relationship the leads had in the novel.

A lot of people make personal attacks on a person posting rather than discussing issues. I don't appreciate people's attitude of creating accusatory atmosphere toward MDL users rather than discussing points of view with courtesy.

to all the people who got their shorts in the knots because of term "rape" used in this discussion. Here is the definition

Rape is a type of sexual assault involving sexual intercourse, or other forms of sexual penetration, carried out against a person without their consent. 

There.

If a person is not agreeing that is without consent.

If a person is drunk that is also without consent.

Rather than being angry, can we have a discussion about the content rather than hurt feelings of the MDL users????

Shish...

Thank you!!! And exactly why can’t we all just enjoy the novel and drama together. 

The choking scene was too early in the drama.  In the novel, it takes place during the hunting season after Wei Shao discovered that Wei Yan had sexual desires for XQ.

He thought she had an affair with Wei Yan.

It was too soon it threw me off cause I didn’t remember him choking her. I probably missed that part.

It's just a drama.  The Hollywood films and Spanish/ French films show naked women which are even worse.

True true

Hello, can someone tell me about anyone of the misunderstandings that will come soon in the upcoming episodes?
And also what is the angst level in the novel out of 10?

There are many misunderstandings although I can’t really pinpoint which ones will be in the drama. Important one in my opinion is Su Er Huang, she and Wei Shao are somewhat linked. it’s in the upcoming vip episodes.  Angst level probably 20/10 lol maybe I’m over exaggerating it haha

 サモンタ_サン:

@Euphoria exactly he treated her nice in the novel he gave her title and his room. He could have done way worse in his position but he didn’t. He even led her back to his mansion. I was shocked when he put his hand on her neck I was like novel Wei Shao never did that or even pushed her to the ground.  Of course they would make him aggressive in the drama. 

I believe they made him more aggressive with the neck grabbing and throwing in the drama because they're unable  to show how aggressive he is in bed, so they had to show that aggression in other ways.

because of ep. 10 preview, i dived into the novel and browsed through from ch.30 to 78. Such bedroom scenes in the novel will never happen in the drama.

Having watched up to Ep. 10-11 and the 12-13 preview, i deduced that the adaptation has deviated from the novel and since the sequence of certain events has been rearranged, i won't bother reading beyond 78.

Will continue to follow the drama but will hold off if, further down the road, the drama is shown to be built on too much suspicion and distrust caused by Wei Yan and Su E Huang...

We've got too many kids here wanting to read the saucy bits of the story!
