Judging by your reaction you didn't expect that interpretation of this scene.

Yeah, if she was as dumb as a plank he would still continue to financially support her in that house she is living in now and eventually would marry her off to someone. He found out she is smart now he feels proud and cares more. It's normal to care more for children who are smart, resourceful or talented.

Oh, again it's my fault. Well done.

She is the only daughter that was shown and only shown interactions are relevant. And I see them differently to how you see them. Probably due to difference in our age, gender and cultural upbringing. So your categorical interpretation of those events makes one wonder too.

After you said I don't know the plot, didn't watch the film, don't know how parents children interact, etc.,

Please do.

Of course it's impossible that someone could interpret those scenes in a way that's different to yours.

I understand what you mean. But even if that's what he wanted his reputation as far as his father and grandfather is concerned was ruined. So anything he'd say carried little weight for them.
As for light punishment ,there are well known examples where parents covered up some heinous crimes their children commit. Maybe it's just me but I can't interpret it as spoiling someone.

Maintaining protocol doesn't imply that their guard is up or that they are pretending. They just have to follow procedures relevant for the occasion. In this situation I would consider it normal. If your interpretation differs,then it's just your perspective not necessarily what's going on.

Don't bother.Point 1 irrelevant.In the end he actually started a rebellion if all went according to plan his daughter would actually end up being on the throne. Anyway it was probably for the best if she didn't know when she went to confront LiNi.

Exactly he warned her a few times about the dangers of the course she's taking.

It went awry once she had no choice but to become 2nd wife. Hence they needed FL dead and assumed it will take 5 years for LiNi's feelings to change. Once Gu mothers' aphrodisiac plot failed he said he'll do everything he can to take care of it
And did.


I'm not sure why you insist that it's me who misunderstands his character or that your opinion on how fathers should behave is the right one.

You say he doesn't feel fatherly love. Then why would he jeopardize his long run of being a successful PM to help his daughter to do something that will drag him into a fight for the throne. He was successful under 2 emperors already. Is successful under the 3rd. And would've been successful under 4th regardless of it bein LiNi,his brothers or the grandchild kid.

So he joined the fray just because she asked. I'm not sure what other example of fatherly love is needed here.

By pretense you mean they still maintained protocol.Well they aren't as close as FL and her father. Also,she came to plead for something he doesn't agree with. She logically argued her position. To me it seemed like proper interactions for people of their status.

As to informing me how father and daughters interact🤣

Him faking rebellious nature is probably an example of that nature. I didn't miss that part I just don't attach too much significance to it. I'd say anyone who has siblings would have a story like that.
Poisoning of the family etc happened when they are already in their 20s can't see it as an example of being spoiled.



As far as distinguishing who is loyal and who isn't isn't an easy task at all.so probably not a good example to indicate his dumbness. Again I'm not saying he is smart or fit for purpose I'm saying he is too much of caricature to be really that bad.

Absolutely. They should've simply stood alone and didn't invite comparison between the 2.

You should watch FBS if you want a good enough cultivation series. But not if you're going to watch this. If you watch FBS and then this you'll be severely disappointed.So watch them as 2 separate series.

She didn't stab him. But yes abandoned him.

Any father would be proud of these qualities. No offence but to say that your children are intelligent and resourceful is kind of peak of pride. It's the best parents can hope for. So, "only cared for her because..." just seems redundant.

Sending her in as 2nd wife was temporary measure. If FL could be killed Miss Gu would eventually become 1st. But no, he was very reluctant to go with her plan. He, however, looked happy that she could come up with plan like that. Again,he made numerous attempts to discourage her from going that route

Actually that would explain a lot. So her obsession with him is justified. Since at the point of meeting each other she feels he is like her. One of the reasons I prefer to binge series in one go and hate to watch them "on air " is forgetting something that could be important.

I'm not disregarding your opinion about her becoming mean etc., To me,the way she reacts, actually feels more true to life than any other. Probably one of the reasons I like it so much. So instead of being "sour taste" I'm like "oh yeah finally something real" 🤣
