If that is so, why didn't FL or people on the mountain inform the guards below? The guards may not be helpful, but they genunienly looked like they've no idea what's going on up there. Also, if FL was living alone up there, how did she get the edict commanding her to come down for her wedding? If somebody went up the mountain to give it to her, they would have seen that everybody's gone.

I think at some point they'll have to go up that mountain for her to face the truth. But I'm thinking it's not gonna happen any time soon. Gotta mend her fragile mind a bit, unless she totally breaks.

Yea, but still, from what I've seen in other dramas, no legit. wife is happy about her husband bringing in other women into their house. It still hurts their feelings. Likely that's why FL and her mother were often living on the mountain, not just to visit the grandpa and get education.

She's also mysterious atm. But prob a villain too.

It's unclear atm. Does she have anything to back her up if she wants to grab power? Right now she's subservient to the empress dowager, she has no ligitimate sons from the late emperor to claim anything. So what would be the point in undermining the empress dowager and switch sides? She also is not on SML's side, that guy's too unlikable to have any allies.
Also, if she wanted to do something, so many years have passed already. She in for some long con?

Also, that step-mother cheated on FL's father, her daugher wasn't even his. He's also a dumb trash.

So basically, he was not only a cowardly trash, but also a cheating trash?
FL's mother really had a bad taste in men, just as FL said, lol.

Would make sense for blackmail.

Forgot to ask, when did FL’s father take FL’s step-mother as his second wife? FL’s step-sister looks around the same age.

You mean Buddhist chants?

Those are idol drama fans, they want a typical idol drama with physical, in your face romance and perfect heroes. This one is not typical, you actually gotta use your braincells to keep up with the plot, and heroes are far from perfect.
They may still get what they want later, but attention span nowadays is very short, not many will return I'd wager.

Yea, that one too definitely. Hopefully she'll get better later and will stop binging those products.

It's unknown atm. We've seen only that she came to ML's brother in prison on behalf of the head of Lishan mountain/her father and ML's brother told her where she can find it.

He's actually not doing anything atm. I'm getting more proper villain vibes from SML and empress dowager atm.

Lol, LBL was def not a thriller.
But POJ and this drama are still historical romance dramas as a genre.

Genres are basically the same, according to MDL at least.

His father is boring, tbh. That actor is not selling a convincing villain. Most of the time he looks like a confused angry guy, because everybody's been playing him lately.

POJ had mediocre plot, especially the later half. Carried by visuals for captivated by visuals.

It's not the fans fault entirely, they've been using baity scenes on purpose to keep them watching. Also, you can't convince idol fans to not watch a drama starring idols.

She's coping hard with that sugar.
