I would say 100,000 in gold and 1 prince is a hefty price to pay to get the emperor back. Ruyi could not say she knew the Marquis. He totally lost control of himself. She is now his weakness. Marquis thinks he can control her. If she showed any weakness the whole crew would have gone down. She knows this. They can take the gold and run and not release the Emperor. They can take the gold and the prince and not release the Emperor. Fine line to walk. Their mission is to get their own Emperor back. The pushy An people are lording it over the mission. Ruyi did not know that the Marquis was her former pupil otherwise she would have done something different. No one knew that Ruyi knew the Marquis. Everyone was surprised. Like I said she now is the Marquis's weak point. She will use it to her advantage and to the crews advantage. (How dare he behave in that way, lost composure both times he saw her. Bad form) Like the Marquis said he gave away her cover. << he knows he was wrong. Still he is obsessed. Peace♥

The Empress asked Ruyi to teach him how to be a man and martial arts. I think this is the part she does the man thing. hahahaha♥

His heart palpitations is the poison reacting. It's been 10 days. He's not as insecure as he seems. However, he does want to protect her. She's having none of it. Peace♥

sent you a message.♥

It's the script not the producers. (Producers are the money people) The director follows and interprets the script. Director brings the script to life. Plus all the crew and camera men. Peace.♥

You want when they met? Ep 1. As of now they have not been married. However in every episode the romance progresses. Fun ride.♥

Ruyi just became his weakness. Now watch the fun begin. Pull him by the nose ring. Peace♥

Excellent!♥♥♥

He's in for a rude awakening now. She will use him. She just became his weakness. ♥

I don't think of it as a love triangle but the past coming to bite. Ruyi really doesn't like him but knows him well. She will manipulate him you watch. Marquis doesn't have a chance to beat her. However, he will cause problems. He is so obsessed. << Ruyi just became his weakness. As in any relationship there are two sides. Mr. Du just wants to succeed at all costs. He can't do it without these two. Ruyi and Ning have different ideas about the life they want to lead after it's all over. That's okay. They can have it both ways. A little bit city and a little bit country. Balance out their life together. Peace♥

It's a good thing Ren Xin is the master. Now they will have another ally in An. They can kick some a*s. This is getting interesting. Looking forward to how this plays out. Excellent hooks at the end of each episode.♥

Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms aka Eternal Love was on Netflix.

Well played in his role.

TMOPB evil Consort. Good actress.

Our Consort from "Pearl Eclipse" .

All the mythical beings are real at some point in time. Not just figments of someone's imagination. I use the dragon as a point in time. Was it real? Was it not real? I love the dragons that are created and swoop down on everyone. The top level of cultivation. My 6 yr old grandson after watching a clip of Smaug, as seen in The Hobbit, swears it was real. (Nana corrupting him.) We even watched YT clip saying dragons were not real. He was adamant it is real. (Bless him) Wanted my grandson to see a clip of sword flying. He was amazed. "They can fly." Zombie fad has passed thank heavens. That's why I watch Chinese historical and fictional dramas. They all have a spark of truth from the past culture. I also look for historical sites and sceneries when they film on location. Lots of melted buildings and structures as seen all over the world. Even saw a star city in one of the series I watched, which are found all over the world too, not to mention pyramids. I have totally enjoyed my immersion into Chinese dramas of the historical/fantasy line. I've been at it for 4 years. I don't have cable but have subscriptions to Chinese dramas. I'm retired so I have time to watch. I have no Asian background so my family and friends think I'm nuts. I'm not and enjoy every minute if it's a good and engaging series. Thanks for the reply. Peace♥

She does explain it to him in earlier episodes. He's tall, good at martial arts, smart. Don't you think he would make good babies? hahahaha. ♥

Speculation is rampant with this original script. Can't go check the book for spoilers. I'm loving some of the speculations. Who ends up with who? We can't see the future so have to live in the now moment. Peace♥

Yes, I appreciate the maturity of the script. Let's all be adults and talk it out. They know each other's weaknesses and try to overcome them. Other than Yu Shi who is absolutely shameless. (will he ever mature?) hahahaha ♥

Chief Jin is none other than Maggie Huang, from TMOPB she played the evil consort. I really like her. ♥
