i think this drama would get at least 7.1 douban rating

from another source (not drama), i heard that he was castrated, so yes, or can be said that he was an ex-eunuch that after some merits and achivements in military , then promote to become head of guardians.

Huai Qing and Lin'an are half-sister (step sister).
Current Emperor Yuan Jing has 10 sons and 2 daugthers.
Huai Qing's mother is Empress, her brother is fourth prince or 2nd prince .
Lin'an and crown prince's mother are Concubine Chen

I think "Grand Princess" title shouldnt be put to Huai Qing, as my experience with other palace drama, Grand Princess and Grand Princes usually a title used for brother/sister of Emperor.

oh that was crown prince? the brother of Lin'an? they said he is better and smarter than the 2nd prince (huai qing's brother), but why he looks lousy like this...

then avoid this, this one is not really into a romance genre, there are so plenty costume drama with romance as the center of story, perhaps over 90%+
a costume drama like GotD is considered rare nowadays.

yes, the novel is a harem genre, but for the drama adaptation, it should only end with 1 woman, to pass censorship and chinese tv and film regulations, and the producer choose Lin'An.

when searching other thing using baidu , i found out someone posted something about it. it's spoiler, will ruin your curiosity, but if you still want to know....
she is not a woman that show up in drama adaptation yet, so not Lin'An, Huaiqing, Fuxiang, Li Miaozhen, Su Su, nor Pingyang. This woman's name is Mu Nanzhi, according to info, she is the most beloved woman of Xu Qi'an among all his wives in novel.

i dont read the novel, but baidu said 8 , while one site said 13, and Chu Caiwei is not one of them.

we can get some information from 3 sources:

1. from character relationships chart
2. from wiki page
3. from the royal ritual ceremony episode. when a middle aged woman asked Lin'an if therer is any news about her daughter Pingyang. Lin'an called this middle aged woman "Auntie". And this woman is duchess Yu or duke Yu's wife. so perhaps her husband is the brother of emperor (aka grand prince),thus this pingyang is also a princess, but not a direct line of emperor, aka cousin of Lin'An and Huaiqing and 10 princes. and also in that episode, Lin'an called Pingyang "jie2"

"The Night Watchmen of Dafeng" began serialization on Qidian Chinese website on March 15, 2020 and ended on August 5, 2021. The whole book has 3.8 million words .

it is as long as the novel Joy of Life (3,81m) , in which the drama adaptation needs 3 seasons and is still trimmed down heavily.

So dont expect too much on the ending of GotD, perhaps cliff-hanging or to be continued to S2

ep 15
i forget what is the case of Liu officer (or Taikang officer), why he was arrested and his assets were confiscated?

probably lack of romance? you know current drama must focus on romance as the main weapon :p

Chen Jinnan = character in novel The Deer and the Cauldron by Jin Yong.
he is the leader of Tian Di Hui , which has the same name.
so Xu Qi'an apparently used this name after reading the novel in modern time ^^

in episode 8, it was said that 4th prince, 7th prince, 8 prince, and tenth prince were hunting scholars.
so the crown prince and brother of Huai Qing are what number in line?

how many characters/words in total?

there is one in gallery, but not translated yet, i try to edit it to english version, but the font size is just too small to be recognized

Department of Justice and Ministry of Justice, are they the same?

looking back at similar xianxia fighting drama genre like The Legend of Chusen and Fight Break Spheres that stop to continue season 3, i think this one would also have the same fate

i skipped so much, they put too many romance scenes, why dont they just cut that "Love telepathy bracelet" and the soul of xiao wu can live inside the body and mind of Tang San and talking each other any time. It's ridiculous.

i think we need to delete these information:

The Lost Tomb (Chinese parent story)
Time Raiders (Chinese parent story)
Tomb of the Sea (Chinese spinoff)
The Mystic Nine (Chinese spinoff)
