They're not related on the drama. In the novel they were indeed cousins, but in ancient China it was acceptable…
Now that makes alot of sense. Emperor and the dads probably also wants to give FX power and a happy life at the same time without getting him involve in the throne wars. Ironic how hes still risking his life either way but I guess if he was formally acknowledge as a prince it would probably be way worst.
Considering none of the princes are married yet (I think), he could be the oldest.
I was thinking FX could be the oldest too because why would his mother fall for someone who already has multiple wives and kids? I would think YQM has a modern woman mindset. Not to mention she known the emperor as a young prince so she was with him before other women came to his life.

Thanks everyone for elaborating further. Of course, I understand that marrying cousins is a practice done throughout history around the world in certain countries. Its just I wasn't sure which logic the world of this drama go by. Because it seem to me all the princes sees Wan er as the younger sister in the family even when Emperor said the one that marry her get all these benefits, it didnt seem like any of them were interested enough to woo her. Then we found out Fan Xian is the brother to these princes... hence I wondered, hope that make sense
Something fun to think about, if FX gets instated as prince later on... so what # prince will he be in the order of princes?
Maybe novel readers already knows the answer. Boy I cant wait to see each of their reactions especially Crown and 2nd prince when the secret get reveal lol
I think the plot hole of this drama is if Gwi Joo was the one who save Da Hae from the fire, how did she survive in the first timeline before actually meeting GJ, before he was able to go back in time to actually save her? Like if she never survives the fire and died to begin with, all things that follow will never happen.
I just thought of something, Fan Xian's true identity is the emperor's son, so he and Wan-er are cousins. The emperor knows this and still grant their marriage? I think I still haven't really recalled some details from the first season.
With this type of drama, I hope the brother won't start developing romantic feelings for his fake sister who has his real sister's face. Cuz that kinda thing always weird me out even though they not blood related. You don't always need a love triangle to make a drama good. Director, please keep it platonic, keep it pure!
The fact that FengLai (SL's father) is the seal to the whole Abyss is so undermention in this drama that I feel its so unfair for him. The poor guy sacrifice himself for the world and Liuyu. At the end again for his only daughter, will remain trap in there for all eternity yet people don't know about it.
He will start filming a xianxia drama with Bai Lu in April.
Nice. Although I'm not a fan of Bai Lu, this pairing is unusual, so it would probably be refreshing. I look forward to see how well they fit in term of chemistry
Here I was waiting for Shen Li to die and then pull the "Pheonix rises from the ashes" move on us... maybe next episode they will show more after she burned
I've been missing Joseph's face in ancient dramas lately, hope more of his dramas come out soon.
Last I saw of him was as a guest star at the end of My Journey to You, which was such a tease because he look so good in that role. I wouldn't mind a sequel with him in it.
This drama has so much heartaches, yet so courageous, so warm and tenderhearted in every aspect. It present so much human love that at the end of the day, it give me so much feels. It may be sad but I don't regret watching it. Its truly a beautiful drama and teaches us how precious life is. 10/10
Just started watching this drama, hopefully I get in to it. What I find hard to go thru in the 1st episode are…
When DongEun came back to see them one last time after she dropped out I was hoping she would stab the shit out of YeonJin eye, or disfigure the bitch face or smthing lol
him involve in the throne wars. Ironic how hes still risking his life either way but I guess if he was formally acknowledge as a prince it would probably be way worst.
