He will be in and out. She does almost marry him before his rampage so there will be lots of screen time. He will be in 70% of the show. It is about FL not him. Her growth he is only part of it. ♥

Yes oldest is away as he is a soldier and hasn't come home with his younger brothers.

She gets engaged 3 x but in the end she is with ML. ML gets into trouble just before they marry and gets banished to the border for 5 yrs. After 5 yrs another marriage is arranged with poetry guy but ML comes back and takes her for his own.♥

She is engaged 3 times. 2 ML and the general and poetry guy >> back to general. Cancels first engagement. Is engaged to general 1 ML but he goes on a rampage just before their marriage and gets banned to the borders for 5 yrs << engagement broken. She then after 5 yrs is pushed to marry 3 ML but general comes back and upsets everyone and takes her as his own. Pass it on. ♥

Oldest brother has not appeared at all in story other than to be mentioned. Second brother and her twin are there with the mother. The smaller man is her twin. ♥

No just for a while. Apparently she also goes with the scholar too. The ultimate goal is ML.♥

My thoughts exactly. ♥

Plus he seems safe. Remember her ideal life? Safe and ordinary. She doesn't know his family. She doesn't know herself yet. She will come into her own. A 15 yr old girl who has lead a sheltered life what does she know really. ♥

Yes I like the hairstyles a lot. Some of those fussy ones are too much. Got a kick out Qi Qi with overloaded adornments. She did have an influence on SS. She got her wearing ears and necklaces. I've seen that style of shoes in other series. ♥

Oh that one. Of course as in all costume changes it came out of thin air. You see them all bloody and next they are in clean clothes and they lost their baggage. Just one of continuity that doesn't make sense. I've noticed a few in this series. Peace♥

I think the Mother wanted SS to see more of how the world is. Boy she sure got a first dose of war. SS asked her aunt if her parents went through this too? EP 11 - 12. She now sees how foolish her actions are. Also when she took charge for their situation SS showed she is just like her mother. Brave, courageous and resourceful. I think SS's Mother is wise to send her off to see for herself. It is the only way to get through to her. As for YY she is timid and can only be like her father. Yes Mom was cruel and punishment was harsh but had no effect really. It's like the kid who wanders off onto the road time and again. Finally you punish them because it is dangerous. Peace♥

It came as a reward from the Emperor. He got promoted. It was presented to him by the palace when he returned from war. Around the same time Niao Niao's parents returned. Way at the beginning. ♥

hahahaha. So true. But it makes for more comedy. Stating the obvious. hahahaha♥

Yah, she is in a bit of denial about her abilities and who she could be. Like any child we don't want to be like our Mothers. ♥

If she marries the wrong man she will wreak havoc in her new household. Pitty her in-laws if they go against her. She needs a supportive but firm husband, at this point at least. I can imagine if her new family crossed her. hahahaha♥

Do you think so? The poetry guy did state in the carriage when she ran away that he needed a wife who could handle a proper household. I think he is only teasing her. She is only 15 yrs old. I think he needs a more mature wife.

There will be 2 more tomorrow (Saturday Jul9) and after not until Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday will they release 2 a day each week until finished. This is only Part 1.

It's kinda ironical that Madam Wen knew what LBY was there for. (Women not supposed to interfere.) Mother knows best. hahahaha ♥

Her parents also want to get her outta town cause of the trouble. Just in case someone else finds out what she did. Her peers are a nasty bunch. I think LBY enjoyed it too. Too bad she misinterprets who turned her in. She is looking forward to her time away out in the world.♥

Ep 9 - 10 I think Ling Bu Yi got some pleasure seeing the princess fall in. He did keep his word. It isn't clear how they set it up. Or did they intuitively know each others plan. Sad episode 10. Maybe it's for the best that Niao Niao leaves with her aunt and uncle. Mom finally got her way. What a hard woman. She had me in tears. Peace ♥
