Another favorite comedy moment is when Bu Yinlou was detained by her sister as bait for Xiao Duo but she managed to turn the tables by beating her sister at mahjong so much she even won her sister's dowry 🤣 and at the end, her sister couldn't get rid of her fast enough, with BYL threatening to stay longer to play more games 🤣. To top it off, XD didn't even bother going to her rescue because he knew her sister was no match for her 🤣

Actually, all her kidnappings are hilarious. The first time, it was amusing how easily BYL figured out Rong'an's plan as well as when XD ingested the aphrodisiac intended for BYL and Fu and became feral so BYL had to whack him to make him come to his senses. In the end, they managed to implicate Rong'an's accomplices instead 🤣. The third time, BYL really wanted to be kidnapped by Rong'an and insisted on continuing on with her kidnapping after being rescued 🤣. It was a hysterically convoluted mess 🤣

yeah, here's hoping a version of this drama containing all the scenes the director envisioned it to have will be released

😂 I cried a lot too 😂, so the laughter that followed was made sweeter by the relief that all was well 😂

I love the development of their romance from him first thinking she was "so pretentious and full of flattery" to him being a clingy kitten who can forsake even his pride and dignity for her

Unchained Love with the same lead actor

thanks for the warning :)

I found this a riot 😂 Everybody's reaction was hilarious, from Xiao Duo's, "Get up, you're not dead" to Qilang's, "Don't you know whether you're dead or not?" to Cao Chun'ang's, "I'm inexperienced... it seemed appropriate for someone to die..." to Qilang's "I'm a real man, how could I cry because of you? I'm going to strangle you!" 😂 😂 😂

That's why I think the writing and acting are brilliant. There are a lot of subtle scenes like this that were conveyed successfully

it's amazing how he was able to communicate what he was thinking with just his facial expression 😂

It's the best cdrama I've watched in terms of revenge and palace politics/conspiracy. It's a masterpiece.

I didn't see the deleted scenes while I was watching yet I enjoyed the drama pretty well. The deleted scenes make up less than 1% of the whole and don't affect the story. They show how passionate and wild the main couple is. But the drama, even without those scenes, still show their passion.

The discussion topic "Why scenes were cut" gives insight on the censorship process this drama underwent. The topic "Compiled links of BTS, Deleted Scenes, Extended Ending + Extra Story" has links to the deleted scenes as well as two extension scenes for the ending.

My suggestion is to watch the drama first, then these deleted and extension scenes.

Here is another link that shows the deleted scenes per episode:

another amusing moment in the same vein as the knock-on-the-wall communication (exaggerated depiction of how synchronized XD's and BYL's brain-waves are) is when BYL was seeking XD’s help in setting up a date for Liangxu and Wanwan but she was tongue-tied yet XD knew exactly what she wanted to say even though she did not utter a single coherent word. Cao Chun’ang’s disbelief that XD understood what she meant adds to the comic effect

i love these scenes that show how in tune they are with each other 🤣

XD is so adorable, embodying the "fierce male turning into a needy kitten with his woman" trope

their banter is so amusing, you can tell how well they understand and delight in each other

My favorite subtle comedy moment is the knocking on the wall communication. It was absurd that anybody can encode, let alone decipher, a few knocks to convey long messages like, “aren’t I beautiful and gorgeous and you’re in love with me?” 🤣 Yet from Xiao Duo’s expression it seemed he understood them, though he decided to mess with her by saying he didn’t 😂😂😂. Dylan Wang deserves an award for conveying such complicated thoughts with his facial expressions 😂

Nirvana in Fire, Princess Agents and The Sword and the Brocade

with girl, you mean Qui Yuebai?

How about Eternal Love (Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms)?

I really love the subtle jokes in this drama. Xiao Duo's idea of packing lightly 😂 😂 😂 He must have been that period's Elon Musk 😂
