What's the name of the princess? We can check the cast

Too much plot and too few episodes. And since they're getting married on ep 19(as per the picture schedule) then there won't be any break up bc of a foreign princess

Fu Yunxi really listens to a woman and I can't fault him for that. She said she wanted a pragmatic marriage and he's giving her what she asked for. He can't guess her change of heart. He's not omnipotent. Give the guy a break. It's not enough he's suppressing his emotions to cater to her wants, why should he be browbeated for not wild guessing her need for love?

Who are the ML's parent's? I remember being mentioned in an episode that he's adopted.

I haven't watched ep16 yet but if the preview of 18 is the heart symbol in the calendar then I'm fine with it. As long as her mother is ok

You're right. Let's see if the play it out nicely

Will the episodes be enough? The wedding will probably take place in ep19. That leaves us with 11 ep to fall in love, solve the pei case, survive schemes, bring her father(?) to justice and live happily ever after. So up till 19 they have to at least disclose the reason he's spitting blood and maybe find who killed his wife?

He would have been a cad had he done that. The ep hasn't aired yet, so I'm sure the preview is part of something bigger.

She said it's ok, and when they got up she didn't demand any explanation.I think it was an accident. She hit his arm while trying to move and he lost his balance.

I think he's right to suggest that deal.He can't offer her a family (since he's dying) and he wants a protector for his daughter. She's more that capable and doesn't expect him to love her. Any other woman would demand his attention. He also tells her that 's all he offers unless her dream is a family. He's still not in touch with his feelings and it's a good thing since he can't afford to be emotional, especially with his daughter's future at stake

They didn't know exactly what would happen that's why it took them so long to foresee it.

So the kiss was an accident and she just brushed it off? No wonder he's angry with the marriage proposals

Question for the cdrama gurus. They keep mentioning that the FL is 17. Does that mean we won't get a kiss?

I love the fact that she still doesn't like him. Not hate per se, just enmity. There's no, "oh I 'll make it look like I hate you, but drool whenever I see you". And he's good at admiring without looking smitten.

She can't be Yuwen's daughter bc he was away long before the wedding.

I thought the same. He looks earthy and not skinny and overly pretty

At first I was a bit skeptical about the ML. I'm so used to commanding, fierce MLs -sometimes almost theatrical- that I didn't know what to make of him. Now, I truly appreciate the normalcy of his acting. It's realistic. People don't go around looking like villains, and so far the drama relies on the plot and acting and not on overly used tropes of side eyes and brooding moments

How's the heat index?

I'm officially hooked. It's so fast paced you don't get a boring moment. They don't like each other, and even though he appreciates her, she wants none of him. I like how problems are not dragged over lots of episodes.

I don't think it's a silly change. On the contrary. "I will make you the most noble" implies she only has to be married to him to become the most noble. But "I will help you" means she has to try. He is not there to give prestige, just because she's married to him. He is the stepping stone, the base to stand if she deserves it. He's a constant assassin's target, his wife died of poison and he is feared but not respected, as a royal would be.
