Did we ever get the explanation of why the uncle always preferred the younger song sister (yiting) rather than…
The uncle disliked NH personal interest in YM. Any person too close to NH may threaten his influence over NH. But he was approving power-related interest: the bond with Song family and taking the CGH's fiancé away from NR's camp. He proposed YT instead of YM when she showed herself out, with different men: CGH, NH and in Waning RC, it was too much for an unmarried girl (that was the period when she was planning to kill NH with CGH and LSL during the Lantern Festival) with double purpose: to take away YT from NR (and definitely seal Song's bond with NH) and to sow discord between two sisters, making it easier to manipulate NH in the future
Woow this has so much sense. I can see that he becaming tragic instead of her. So yeah you have a point... I love…
we are the audience, not fortune tellers on how a drama would end. I've only analysed what Bekbek23 (correct) reasoning neglected, deducing no real harm should be expected on such premises.
Have only watched up to ep 30, so far.Overall, this has been one of the better CDrama productions I've seen..…
you're right, but she is a B-tier actress, a slacker (as she defined herself), superficial, stubborn, lacking in many ways as a person. As her agent said, she got the chance to act beside a great idol with a huge fanbase only bc all the top tier-actresses refused to perform in such a script. I've thought she adapted too fast to the new environment, caring about people she is not supposed to care about, they are outsiders to her, why should she care? She even tried to be brave and after the first problem (incapacity to find out the forging method, or to kill the ML who blackmailed her to find out the method), she simply gave up and instead of fight, she immediately chose to flee, again. Far away from the ML, who is a born fighter, capable of resisting any odds. And then I thought: it isn't likable, but I'd do the same in her place, it isn't illogical. Be patient, bc. now, she is truly in love, and in the end she will surprise and shine
Indeed, I am thinking about this since yesterday. It's a crescendo since she discovered NH and LSL are the same…
If he created LSL independently of the first and the SECOND script, he is the winner over anything pre-written, predestined etc. But I think NH created LSL in the 2nd script, after the actor's agent complained about the lack of strategy and defence for her client's character. We'll see tomorrow. ☺️

and... I wonder if LSL existed in the first script, she skimmed only superficialy, or he was created by NH independently of the script and the scriptwriter

Of course it makes sense. BUT... 1. FL doesn't die from stabbing even in the first script. She still has two "iconic scenes" to suffer (jump from the fortress and living like a living corpse in a barel) to end according to the scriptwriters initial intentions. 2. Sc. "plot armour" worked well ONLY FOR HER in the first half, with NH forced to protect her even when he tried to kill her himself, as well as in today's wedding. No evidence this type of "plot armour" works for NH and that she can protect NH in the same way. 3. On the contrary, to save NH's life from his life-threatening wounds today (and NH wasn't supposed to get killed either during the wedding), a special doctor misteriously appeared, equipped with modern chirurgical instruments and applying a "modern suturing technique", as emphasised by a caption during the operation. A military doctor from Qianyu army, btw. An army which already possesses another interesting intelectual property: a modern iron forging method. And tomorrow, the scriptwriter will appear in the body of Qianyu lord revived, a person who certainly can order anything to his military doctor and can probably put some sense in his crazy son.
From all above, I don't see anybody ending tragically.
One drama that becaming more interesting from half then be interesting to half...but when I put it all eps are…
Indeed, I am thinking about this since yesterday. It's a crescendo since she discovered NH and LSL are the same person. If we think about this drama in musical terms, it changed several slower tempos (adagio, andante, moderato) in the first half (with a few prestissimo inserts, if you remember Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee" while changing clothes/personality from NH to LSL and vice versa), the music greatly contributed to determine the tempo of storytelling in the first half, but now, no matter what (btw. always fitting) bgm tempo we hear, the storytelling is in a continuous crescendo, continuous building up the next moment in the plot.
Yup. I caught that when the caption read “modern suturing technique.”
Qianyu army has interesting intellectual property: modern forging technique, modern suturing technique... Maybe tomorrow, with a return of lord Qianyu from the dead as a transmigrated scriptwriter, we'll have more clues
Sounds a bit like The Matrix but yes the scriptwriter is the main antagonist trying to steer the story and fix…
more relaxed compared to Matrix. Actually, it's a brilliant parody on costume dramas production and a great guessing game for the audience tnx to the clues gradually popping out
The method is unattainable even in the OG script. It only serve as the purpose so NH will trick SYM to fall in…
now I've checked again. It's true the incomplete formula handed by SGH contained Fe, probably Fe2O3 + 3CO = 2Fe + 3CO2, I've registered only the second one and thought they were the same. So weird, where did she get the other one? I've rewatched the entire ep 13 but still can't catch those verses...

I haven't noticed any poem, but I remember the chemical elements FL extracted from the that old book. They were written with modern international symbols, btw., not as smth. belonging to ancient China... That's why I thought these formula were to hint us the scriptwriter's sloppiness
I've read many comments asking themselves why should the scriptwriter appear in the remaining storyline. Imo, we've got several clues about his nonsensical writing and sloppiness. In the 1st ep., he is the person who insists on sc. "iconic scenes" (one more wicked than the other) stating: "the audience likes this over-the-top, messy drama". He is already present, not as a person but as "deus ex machina", a typing sound that enforces the "iconic scenes" to happen, no matter the story already took its own path - independently of him - with the change of characters' psychological traits, with the change of their actions, choices and mutual relations. Adding more nonsense to the nonsense he had written in the first place. His sloppiness was hinted with the formulas in the old book (gifted to NH by CGH when they were children) as a method of resistent sword forging, MgSO4 and ZnSO4 (note the use of modern symbols) are just common fungicides, unrelated to metallurgy.
The only reason why would he appear as a person is to retake control over the mess (he created himself) and bring the characters back, in check, because he was tasked to re-write the original script but can't present it in such a messy condition. He maybe has chosen to appear as CGH's father, bc. CGH went south the most, far from a good guy (the 2nd leads are good guys) he created, hoping CGH will calm down if sees his father is still alive.
Finally and hopefuly, I doubt such a laughable person will be able to put any of the characters in check.

The formula in the old book stands for magnesium and zinc sulphates (MgSO4 and ZnSO4), both well-known fungicides. I think these formulas were used to hint to the audience (at least to those with some chemistry knolewdge) the scriptwriter in the drama is a sloppy, nonsensical person
now I recall, where did the “method of forging weapon” plot go? it just disappeared. Is this a plot device?…
If I were SYM, the first question I'd ask the scriptwriter after meeting him in tomorrow's ep would be about the lack of clues and documentation on sword forging. The only formula she got from the book gifted by CGH to NH when they were children was the formula of magnesium and zinc sulphates (MgSO4 and ZnSO4), used in medicine and agriculture (against parasyites and mycosis), telling him he should at least have done some research on metal forging before writing nonsense.
But the real scriptwriter probably put that formula as to tell us to be wary of his "fictional scriptwriter", bc. he is prone to write nonsense and insists on his nonsense...
Kudos to the sound/music department in this production. Every song, melody and sound perfectly blends, builds up and completes the storytelling. And every time I hear the sound of "typing mechanism" I think: this is the modern sound of the "deus ex machina"! 👌
He proposed YT instead of YM when she showed herself out, with different men: CGH, NH and in Waning RC, it was too much for an unmarried girl (that was the period when she was planning to kill NH with CGH and LSL during the Lantern Festival) with double purpose: to take away YT from NR (and definitely seal Song's bond with NH) and to sow discord between two sisters, making it easier to manipulate NH in the future
