I feel the same! It's been nothing but fillers and characters doing the opposite of what they've lead me to believe…
I skipped some of the scenes because I am so fed up with drama now. There are scenes in the novel that could make this drama better but the love plot between MZH and LD should have been kept minimum and more on the evil plots that come from both PR and the Princess of the Northern Liang State.
She killed the husband and son.
Who was the lover? That would be the next mystery to reveal.
