Bowties are cool

She only gets better and better.

I included my fave ajumma actresses too because they slay every single time.

Am pretty sure that its this one - https://v.qq.com/x/cover/mzc002000w08m6u/p0036poqs0v.html. I couldn't access from youtube for the same reason but I had already seen it from the Chinese wetv website.

It looks like Concubine Qin from the back, I know the hair style looks like Dongqinq's but that's a single girl hair style which I think the concubine would use to sneak out of the house. The only question I have is how is she related to Ou since we know she used to be a maid for the mother in law. Oooo, she is like one of those sleeper agents that was installed to spy on them from way back. She may even been related to the frameup of the old marquis and his son.

Patience pays! I have more respect for Xu linyi because unlike some on this page who wanted to force Shiyi to be ready when she clearly wasn't, he realized that you can't force someone to take that last step to trusting you.

Story of Minglan is worth a watch if you liked this. Ming Lan is second only to YL.

We'll just add that to the ever growing list of stereotypical depiction of people and places that this show has got going on.

Am curios if you started it and if so how you are liking it? YL will forever be my fave female lead in any Cdrama

The most unrealistic thing is the ending scene - Like as if someone with twins babies can just go on a vacation without any luggage!

Your best bet is something like general's lady or Cuo Dian Yuan Yang.
One wife, but schemes external to the couple.

Yes, its worth the time. I wasn't a fan of the ML before this show but wow was he good in this. Yes, his character grows on you because he is wicked smart, funny and mischievous and that all combined to make him hotter as the show progressed.

He has a serious case of plot armor!

If you check out Chief Kim you will see that same theme too.

I am curios how long that would end up being. I think at most it would be an hour or two. No more than that.

The one that's on Netflix is the spin off about her daughter that's 6 episodes long

I was the same in the earlier episodes then as you get to know their characters better you can recognize who is who.

I will respectfully disagree with you labeling FL as frigid. She has her reasons and while said reasons may not suit your tastes, you shouldn't call her frigid because of them.

It was!

Concubines are slaves, property. They don't get an official wedding, don't come in through the main door and they can get beaten to death depending on the offense they are accused of. Qiao punishment would be considered light because chances are if any other person had done what she did, not only killing the future offspring of the Xu's but the main wife as well that concubine would have be beaten to death. Madame Xu was lenient because of the connection she had to the Qiao family.
Divorce only applies for the main wife

seems you never got your answer so here goes - yes, its a happy ending
