I see. But I still find it sloppy writing that she did not do a thorough snoop of the roommate’s belongings. She was suspiciously so fidgeting about that notebook since the beginning, they even fought about it. Shouldn’t be hard to peep either, they literally live in the same room. The writing is unconvincing to me
Ep 7, can’t believe it took Miss Hong that long to figure out the notebook. Didnt the dead director already mentioned to her in ep 1 that it would be in a notebook? And she saw the notebook with the sticker on it when she first met Bok Hui. Am I missing something? Also she never bothered to look inside to check? They literally share a room
Ep 38 reminds me of Zhuge Liang in Romance of three kingdoms. Hac the perfect fire trap, yet failed at the last minute due to the fateful rain that fell. He could only stands in the rain and cries. Sometimes we just cant win against fate
it's interesting how everything is related like a butterfly effect. in ep 12 sworn brothers guo wei, wang jun…
Consequentially, because Guo Wei became the emperor, we have Guo Rong who later became the emperor. And their reign was the most capable and stable out of all the rulers during that era. Such a shame they died too early.

Kinda sad that most of the rulers from this era seem to die from illness after getting the throne. Stress really is dangerous. How much stress it must have been to be a ruler during such a chaotic period. I would die after day 1 lol
I started watching this drama with no expectations at all. After The Legend of Magnate there hadn’t really been…
He existed. But maybe not as the drama portrayed. I saw some mention of him in the Wikipedia for Hu Jin Si
“ Around new year 948, Qian Hongzong began to discuss with two officials that he felt he could trust, He Chengxun (何承訓) and Shuiqiu Zhaoquan (水丘昭券), on possibly expelling Hu from the headquarters. Shuiqiu thought it might be dangerous to do so due to Hu's hold on the army, and therefore Qian hesitated. He Chengxun, fearful that the news might leak, instead decided to leak it to Hu himself. One night, when Qian was holding a feast, Hu thought that Qian was intending to act against him then, and therefore gathered his soldiers and headed for the king's mansion. He surrounded the mansion and put the king under house arrest, and the issued an order in the king's name, claiming that the king had suffered a stroke and was therefore passing the throne to his younger brother Qian Hongchu. When he went to offer the throne to Qian Hongchu, Qian Hongchu agreed, on the condition that Qian Hongzong's life be spared. When Hu agreed, Qian Hongchu took the throne (as King Zhongyi).[9]”
Probably the most foolish emperor in history, when a general commanding tens of thousands of troops was still…
About 150 years later (basically the outcome of the five dynasties and 10 kingdoms period that the drama is showing, while the Han Chinese are still trying to get back all of China from the foreign invaders. There’s a famous general Yue Fei, he was winning battle left and right for the Southern Song. But he was called back and executed based on false charges because he was politically inconvenient. The king and his supporters wanted to keep the “peaceful” life that they had, and they were still afraid of strong militant men due to the trauma from this era. Basically the were selfish and wanted to keep their powers
To this day, Chinese people still hate the people that harmed Yue Fei. They even made statues of them and spit on it.
Yea, some people with power are really selfish. And dumb
Historians says that the core weakness of the southern song (the one that came about after this era) was military power. They saw so many military usurpers during this era (5D 10K) they dont want to repeat that.
Which all shows that people who came into power did not care for the greater good of the people and nation, but only themselves and keeping their power
Ep27-30 was such a intense watch…Qian Hong Zong is really not a suitable candidate to be King.
There was a scene where Hong Chu acted “disrespectful” to the military and got sent far away and everyone in the room knew what was going on. Except Hong Zong. I knew he wasn’t smart and get the big picture.
But I didn’t expect him to act like such an idiot as soon as he got the throne lolll
Who can explain Sun Tai Zhen mother? She is also mother to third brother. I am confused. Qian Hong Chu is marrying…
Officially, third brother is the adopted son of the king, but considering the mother and the king were old flames. There’s speculation that he’s the king’s biological son. That’s why Hu Jin Si was opposed to the king wanting to pass down his throne to third brother in earlier eps, because he’s not biological son.
They say history repeats itself is so true. And I love learning about Chinese history because after so many dynasties and empires, you could say that China has experienced it all.
During the Cheng Zhao Yue arc, even the king was hesitant about dealing with him because he held the real economic power in Wuyue. While the northern dynasties might be militarily powerful, but they lacked the economic prosperity the southern parts like wuyue had.
You see that in today politics too, we have politicians and government but how many decisions are actually influenced by the billionaires like Zuckerburg, bill gates etc…
