Fo what it’s worth, in the drama FL was told g by her dad, I think) that the Emperor is not aware of the fake death. But we don’t know for sure. This is a pretty light drama so if there’s no happy ending everyone will be disappointed.

They could probably get the Emperor to bestow a noble title on 3FL to make her more acceptable to 3ML’s family (make her some sort of a princess). But, again, this is a pretty light drama, so maybe they won’t worry about that.

If there’s no happy ending, we will riot 😁

If you like modern dramas, check out “Fake It Till You Make It”. It’s a great drama about relationships (FL & ML are busy professionals around 30). The FL actress in this drama is 2FL in that drama (younger sister of lead character) and she was very good in that role.

FL here is not even dumb, she just has her own areas of expertise. She has managed her family’s household for the last 5 years (since she was 12), she successfully plotted to get out of arranged marriage, she is investigating smuggling, etc. True, FL doesn’t know how to fight but that’s pretty reasonable for a noble lady who grew up in the capital.

2ML being dead was just a rumor. He is hiding from Su family.

Next time I watch “Amongst a Snowstorm of Love”, will have to look for the candle 🕯️. Although it’s a modern drama, lol

Everyone who liked this drama — make sure to watch the 25th extra/special episode (“Our Secret Extra” here on MDL). It’s 20 minutes of almost completely new material that covers the three main couples and what happens after the end of the 24th episode.

When things go bad, they go REALLY bad 😞

How great are the costumes in this drama! Man Man’s outfits are especially gorgeous. SZE & costume designers deserve our applause 👏

ML is Emperor’s cousin and trusted friend. ML is a decorated general and FL’s father is a great military man too. There are many conspiracies and bad people trying harm our heroes but think of this as a much lighter version of “The Prisoner of Beauty” :) ML & FL are very good together and there is a funny second couple (FL’s best friend and ML’s friend).

From episode 13 it’s pretty clear the “concubine” is a bodyguard to protect the FL. But ML is too busy getting punished so FL think it’s a real concubine.

Only 13 out of 30 episodes have been released but so far it is pretty good. It’s more on a lighter comedic side as opposed to something very serious. But there are still conspiracies and bad people trying to do bad things to our heroes.

Doesn’t YG seem like such a relaxing time after all the angst in this drama? 😊

To be fair, C-dramas have spoiled us with quick releases. Imagine being a fan of dramas from other countries which get 1-2 episodes per week! 🥺

Anyone else watching this drama at the same time as Youthful Glory? :)

Are You the One is great.

We all wish episodes were released quicker but — to be fair — Chinese dramas are aired very quickly compared to other dramas. A typical K-drama is aired twice a week; US/Philippines/Japan (?) is once a week. For those dramas recaps are very useful, lol

ML’s parents are deceased. Exactly how that happened has not been revealed. In a typical drama, death of lead’s parents would be caused by bad people 🧐

“Don’t worry”…🥸
