It’s funny everyone annoyed that she was lying to him, but when he was lying to her later on about his relapse…
I'm sorry, but you really can't tell the difference. First one could save her life and his trust. Second one could bring what good exactly? Feeling of debt? Unnecessary regret?

Seriously? You really can't tell the difference between "dear lover, I'm dying and only your antidote, for which you apparently have no use, can save me" and "dear lover, I'm dying because I had one antidote and I gave it to you" ?
maybe this drama won't be the right fit for you - FL and ML are grey characters, they aren't your typical perfect…
She starts showing signs of remorse in episode 16. In 19 she unconsciously confessed. In 22 she painfully regrets her initial lie. In 23 she faces the consequences. After that a few episodes of weird interactions untill JBZ figures her out. In 26 he finally gets her to admit she's Ming Xian.
You're not alone btw. Lots of people complained during those episodes. But while her aversion of being honest with him is frustrating, the show is still worth the watch imo, specially the last 10 episodes.
The Empress' acting has been very confusing to me, and I mean the acting of the actress, because in her scenes…
maybe she did care a bit for Ming Yi or felt sorry, but decided not to show it, so that MY could leave and have a peaceful life, instead of staying and going down with her.
I dare any male lead in any c-drama when a love interest tells him will you choose me or the FML in around ep30…
Like many of her dialogues, this one rubbed me the wrong way too, but I chose to ignore it because I was tired of reading essay-long replies of her fans. I dismissed it as the writer trying something there. It's the trend anyway. For many writers this is the low effort way to present a "strong FL".
So the dumb emperor effectively killed his son. Why didn't JBZ say that MY is his wife to save her, and why did she attempt fighting the emperor in front of all his guards? So what if they were arrested? JBZ could negotiate for her and her father's life.
they're a couple who started off with lies and then built most of their relationship up on truths like gotta respect…
Yes. Underneath the misunderstandings, they've always been more or less on the same wavelength. Though different in approach, they're both loyal, playful, proud, wishing to protect the innocent, etc. Their ideals and personalities simply match.
I'd understand hating the child if he even remotely was the reason for her sister's death or the danger to her niece. But on the contrary, she agreed, albeit reluctantly, because she knew by taking the child's place, her niece could have a bigger chance at surviving. There's no reason for her to despise him so much to the point of leaving him there defenseless.
It's great that they made up before she found out that he gave her the cure. He wanted her to love him, not the guy who gave her the cure, and she confirmed that her heart doesn't have a price. Respectable.
First one could save her life and his trust. Second one could bring what good exactly? Feeling of debt? Unnecessary regret?
"dear lover, I'm dying and only your antidote, for which you apparently have no use, can save me"
and
"dear lover, I'm dying because I had one antidote and I gave it to you"
?

thanks for the warning.
