Hello
I like dramas where I can watch the love journey of the couple. I like seeing the process of ML falling in love with FL, pursuing her, FL taking time, then falling in love, their story after both of them fell in love. And I like a strong FL and I like to see her individuality. Bai Qian of TMOPB is the example of FL who has her own identity and she can put the negative people in their place without ML's help. And I like CSS who tries her level best to defend herself. She doesn't wait for someone to come to her defense. If you have an idea about similar FL characters, could you share with me?

I understand your point of view. XYY loves her child and she wants the best for her child. But the way she does things annoys me.
The military punishment scene, I get that CSS didn't back down but the mother letting her get punished was too much. She was getting beaten like that and her mother didn't even stop them. And CSS was not able to walk after the incident. We can understand the amount of physical pain she was in. That was too harsh.
Because her mother constantly compared her with YY in the beginning and put her down she now started taking YY's name. She was used to get compared with YY so now she automatically thinks about YY and mentions her name.
Honestly I don't like the fact that XYY always has to retort her daughter and hurt her. She is the mother, she needs to have some patience towards her daughter. She needs to understand the reason why her daughter mentions YY instead of retorting her. If she tried to understand that genuinely at least for once, she would understand that her daughter needs her attention which she didn't get when XYY was away and still is not getting when XYY is near.
If some one else was there in CSS's position then her relationship with YY would be in a damaged position because of the constant comparisons between them. But CSS is really nice with YY, it shows that she is a good person at heart.
I know both are at fault and doesn't back down but I still feel the mother is at more fault.
I feel that her father could have put some sense into his wife even if she doesn't listen to him. At least she will think about it at some point. He doesn't try to do it.

I agree with your analysis of LBY and CSS relationship. And I like CSS character because she did not fall in love with LBY yet. She is taking her time. I feel nice when the FL takes time to analyze and understand the possibilities of her future events before falling in love. I want to watch a FL like that. I rarely get to see a FL in this way. I didn't watch the recent episodes yet. I like the scene which you mentioned that she understood the power imbalance in their relationship. I always felt that LBY's words/actions have more power than that of CSS. She tries her level best but it is always LBY who comes to her rescue. Whenever I watch those I feel a little sad that it is difficult for CSS to come out of the situation on her own. Even though it is understandable but still I feel bad.
And I would like to politely disagree with your analysis on CSS-XYY's relationship. The way XYY dealt with CSS was not pleasant to watch. I tried to understand her mother till the point she gave military punishment to her daughter. Even though later it was clarified that she didn't actually give the military punishment but still that scene was heartbreaking for me to watch where she was getting beaten like that. She is just 15 year old and physically not a strong person to take that harsh beating. Who does that to their own child? She was stubborn that doesn't mean that her mother gets angry and let her get punished in a harsh way. And one thing that bothers me very much is that I have never seen her talking lovingly with her daughter. I agree with the comments that her mother is tough because of her military background and she tries to implement those military training methods on her daughter. But there must be a balance in her ways of discipline and love. And another thing which I agree with others is the comparison between YY and CSS. Why does she always have to compare her with YY? She wanting to take care of YY in the best possible way is nice but for that she doesn't have to compare her with CSS and put CSS down.
And another disappointment is her father. Why doesn't he put some sense in his wife? He wants to play good cop and bad cop. But can't he see that it is affecting his wife and his daughter's relationship? CSS needs both the mother's and father's love for becoming better version of herself. It is not enough for CSS to get only her father's love. I sympathize with CSS more in this drama.

Will the empress get deposed? Why?

Hello I actually have been searching for your recent posts to ask you something. You said that CSS created some issue because of which LBY got angry and suggested her to break up. Could you explain what she did that made him angry? I felt bad that he suggested break up because in the recent episode she clearly told him that she won't listen to him and asked him Is he still willing to marry her?
And also Could you explain the regret XY will have?

That scene was cute right. When LBY said why is she coming here, generally she doesn’t come.Then Ah Fei was like she often comes here. I want these type of scenes in part 2. CSS and Ah Fei are precious kids.

Ok, got it.

Oh I remember now. The episode where LBY rescued CSS. I didn’t know about the tradition.
So is it that he threw the ball at her with the intention of proposing marriage?

I didn't watch the scene. Could you explain the ball proposal scene. What is it exactly?

Could you tell me some angst moments in Part 2? I am excited to watch it.

Can't wait to watch their love-hate story and her mother's regret. I want to watch her mother feeling hurt when she sees her daughter's closeness with the empress. She needs to get the taste of her own medicine. She needs to understand how CSS might have felt when she always gave importance to YY.

I hope they release Part 2 as early as possible. Can't wait to watch it. Part 1 set the stage.

Oh is it? I was like why he said that in front of them who always insult her.
If you read the novel, could you tell me the jealous moments of LBY if there are any?
I like discussing this drama. If you are ok I will bother you with questions.

I am waiting for that scene. This is such a nice drama. It makes me share my opinion whenever I watch an impactful scene.

And the look he gave to the person who told that she often visits you. But why did he say that he got injured because of her in front of them?

I didn't get the point that LBY is getting everyone to shape up as the tough general-in-law. What does it mean?

It is actually bothering me because I felt He Zhou Jin liked Lou Yao. Whenever I see Lou Yao and CSS together it always comes to my mind that HZJ likes LY and it sort of bothers me to see them together even though LY is extremely nice to CSS.
We know CSS doesn't love LY and we are okay with that.
But when the couple is not going to be the endgame it becomes difficult to watch their sweet moments unless their story/love story plays a vital role in the main story.
And you can reply me whenever you feel free and I don't mind it.

Thank you for taking time and effort to reply to me. Your replies are eloquent.
I feel that till now they are building the story in the right pace and I hope that they won't change the pace of the drama. Whatever the pace it is in right now is good.
What is your opinion on Lou Yao? Will there be his story in the second part? And why exactly CSS cancelled her marriage with him? Till now they are good to each other and she is willing to marry him even in the Episode 20.
You are replying me in such a nice way I feel like asking more and more questions and getting to know the story more.
I started watching Korean dramas and in that process I got to know about Chinese dramas. I like Chinese historical dramas with strong Female Lead who doesn't fight for Emperor's love. I like to see her having her own identity. I like CSS because she has the pride and she knows how to get herself out of a situation. She is sad but she doesn't cry unnecessarily.

Thank you so much for the reply.

Thank you so much.
Could you tell me why and when did YS become so obsessed with CSS?
And I went to the comment section which you mentioned and checked few comments and I liked it that there will be kind of love/hate story between lead couple after the 5 year leap.
