oh yes....The man has suffered enough in life but I wouldn't mind seeing him pine after her for a little while he regrets those words

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas. you described it very well. Better than I could. Yes the eyes. His eyes were intense. The smirks. He told her he would never want to be intimate with her. Famous last words. We'll see about that. Hmmmph

really enjoyed the dance in ep 8, especially the part where she leaped to the top deck and was sitting in his lap and waving the dress material at him. He looked kinda mesmerised. All those girls were dancing but he was only interested in her.

whew the dance

oh wow shoot arrows into the sea?!! I prefer it without the arrows as well then. The TV version makes us see more of a softening towards her. He says he is only taking her along because of her family's military power but we know he feels something for her....maybe not quite love yet but the seeds are planted in my opinion. If he were to shoot arrows in the water I would feel like he is still being too cold towards her like he is with everyone else. He stopped the ship just to get her back. Did he do that in the novel too?

Though he has some real psychological issues surrounding love, betrayal and abandonment etc. so I can't tell u how it will go in the future

So far no. In fact at the very very beginning when she goes back to the past she wasn't treating him so great but due to certain facts she actually starts to protect him. He's a complicated character for sure.

oh cool. I didn't know that. Thanks. We'll soon see.

ep 14 - I am guessing she won't be there but oh well. At least we see his feelings get so strong that he feels like he has to tell her instead of beating around the bush. Though I feel something will happen and he won't get to tell her yet. hmmmm Wonder how many episodes there are

spoiler....Now we know when he can't hold back anymore

Yes. I loved her speech in the last episode

oh gosh....tall order, you put me on the spot because she did an excellent job. There are so many actresses out there. Hmmm I really like actresses like Tan Song Yun and Xu Lu. There are many famous actresses I can name but then I ponder ...'are they better or just more famous with more expensive sets etc.'. I hope this actress gets bigger roles in the future. It's not good to be typecast but I would like to see her in another role as a powerful person. It is true that I haven't been captivated by a FL in a little while.

I don't know if I will say she is the best but I had to reply to this to say that she was truly captivating, especially when she was operating as Lord Ye Zhao nan (male and female).

Finally finished: the ML is very handsome and so are some of the other men as well. such as Yi Yang who is also very attractive. Despite all the handsomeness I must say still the real standout for me was Ye Zhao Nan. She delivered. She just served everything I didn't know I needed. Really felt the presence whenever she was before the ministers with her speeches and inquiries and on her throne. It felt like she was really powerful. Haven't enjoyed an emperor, lord (all powerful) type role in a while. Always one step ahead. (Really appreciated all the smart characters)

lol now you mention the liter of oil on the general haha somehow I didn't take notice but it's true. I would also love to know how it was received in China

completely understand....especially after the stabbing of the cousin,....not just the stabbing but how it was done....

a bit of a shock and bit of betrayal feeling to get over but he'll get over it. She is super smart but she may meet her match with the evil twin sister

lol when you put it like that ....uuuuh sounds ominous but Ye Zhao Nan has got this. She's just so smart. Love a smart FL and she has a great partner. Wait, don't forget her man wants to kill Ye Zhao Nan too....wait till he finds out who she really is....

@chosen020 ok thanks. Good to know that about Hi Venus.
