I think it was to show her missing ML so much, it started causing her to fall into her trauma relapse. She started to go distant and hyperfocused on the flower. Thankfully, she realized what she needed to do. ML here is her oasis of sanity.

She killed Canbei princess.

First, he's ML, so everything is allowed. Second, I think they were talking about exams - nobody'd allow you to become an official if you're a cripple. But ML already passed his own years ago, before getting crippled. We also have duke Hua as an example - he's very old and sick, but still holds position. They also have severe lack of qualified staff in that imaginary kingdom. I guess that's what you get by persecuting and killing scholars.
They also looked like they were having trouble with military capacity. Killing whole armies because of made up charges against a general is also not a good strategy long term. Especially if there's a rival kingdom constantly breathing down your neck at the border.

Right, the dead fish kisses, deliberate camera angles and infrequent frequency. But there's nothing there about not adding 1 more fkn tiny dead fish kiss at the end, and considering other dramas airing on TV there, it's def a choice. Some people say it's actually the scriptwriter who's more into writing plot driven dramas, than romance focused.

Missing out.

Look, there were dramas airing with livelier kisses on CCTV, nobody censored anything. Heck, you don't even need to go far - FL's previous drama wasn't even romance focused, but had way livelier kisses and engaging romance.
Also, even if they could only show these timid kind of kisses they had here before, why couldn't they add 1 more at end of the drama? This is a romance drama, ffs. It's not like people are expecting anything out of the ordinary here. What, there's kissing scenes limit per drama? Give me a break. They didn't even fill the quota here, if it even exists.

I really doubt this has anything to do with broadcasting.

After you watch express, you'll learn how much of a conniving bastard he was from childhood. And FL saw right through him long ago.

Difference being, he kills innocents.

I saw it coming from a mile away. They always take pity on female villains, especially when they start telling their sob stories and crying.

They air passionate romance dramas on CCTV all the time, wdym. This here definitely was somebody's deliberate choice.

Happy ending, you can relax.

She imagined herself a hero in him, then got angry at him for not meeting expectations, then lacking any sense or self respect kept running after him, trying to fix him. Typical female logic, wdym 😂

He fought FL first, then ML came to help her. They beat him and then ML ordered to shoot arrows at him cuz he wasn't submitting.

MJL was defeated by the leads and killed by tons of arrows. He tried to breach the palace to kill the emperor.

Levels below Unveil: Jadewind.

Tbh, the last couple of episodes before the finale were very filler-y. Even though that whole long rebellion was shown behind the scenes. Probably could have shortened the drama by a few episodes.

It's a happy ending.

You talking about MDL scores here? They are biased af, I gave up on them long ago. Too many obsessed fans giving 10/10s to mediocre plots.

You have to agree, Mo Li has flaws. It's far from being perfect. I tried to give my honest opinion on them in detail.

Also, interesting you comparing MLs of these dramas. I also think that WXY was a more interesting ML. He also worked very well together with FL through all the plot, spending way more time with her in general. And there was never any doubt about their budding romantic feelings.

Leads in Mo Li were working and plotting on their own for the larger part of the drama. Not aligning their goals or fully trusting each other on the one hand, but trying to play devoted married couple on the other.
