I was able to purchase the express package to access the last 3 episodes on Youku. I'm not sure why it's not available for some people

I did not have time to watch the new episodes, just the ending sequence. The emperor and Consort Shu are happily waving from a balcony as the main leads leave the capital, riding in red robes. So I assume she is not the villain in the story.

Yes, they leave the capital together to live happily ever after.

Generation to Generation starts airing in less than 1 hour. Love Story in the 70s started yesterday.
You can also check what is currently on air by tapping your profile -> Airing Calendar

Yes, it's the name of his character in Love Like The Galaxy :)

*Ling Buyi. But I totally agree with your point. Same-ish childhood trauma, same-ish upbringing, same-ish rage and desire for revenge above all else.

Unfortunately translation is always an act of betrayal.

Ooh, I saw some that looked like that in historical minidramas. Nice to know they were accurate, they looked weird to someone unaccustomed to them.

Yes, according to the airing calendar

And it was her 2nd failed engagement. In the novel, I really like when she says to Yuan Shen after their engagement is cancelled as well that in the future she will not be getting engaged ever again. She will jump straight to marriage :D

In LLTG the massacre happened 3 days before the wedding, so Shaoshang's family would not have been involved. In one of the conversations they had afterwards LBY admits that he knew he would not survive the event and marry her... which is something I will never forgive him for. FL kept giving him chances to come clean since she knew something was wrong, but he let her and her family get ready for a wedding that was never going to happen. She was literally trying on her wedding dress before she went to save him.

People have a habit of minding their business and not seeing or hearing anything when someone with power is involved. If the villain could kill the prince and his family without any consequences, the witnesses are insignificant flies and dead before they even think to open their mouths.

People expected a romance-focused show despite the tags and synopsis and were disappointed.

If they pull something like this, I will avoid these screenwriters for the rest of my life :)

It would be a plot twist for the sake of a plot twist. There was absolutely no indication throughout the story that the consort was not sincere and it would break my heart for Peiyi to know she was deceived growing up.

Btw, this is the worst type of ruler -- incompetent, clueless and corrupt, but believes he is a great thinker who is never wrong. Plus he cannot keep it in his pants.

Did the emperor want his brother dead so he ordered the right chancellor to kill him in the same manner Henry II had done with Thomas Becket? The punishment was a slap on the wrist, he even gets to keep his wealth and position in the imperial court!

It's not really a break-up, more of a break, there is no miscommunication and it lasts 1/2 episodes, depending on what you count as the event that re-establishes the relationship. It is really well done, I would not skip it since it is meaningful to the plot.
It starts in episode 19

I saw a clip of them riding happily dressed in wedding attire. I really hope they get their happy ending.

As well as those who saw the scene online and were spoiled :D
