Great drama is an understatement. This is by far the best drama for the past 10 years. The character build up, the writing, the directing........cinematography, OST. Everything is done perfectly right.
The comments are expecting a fairytale lol. This is no fairytale but a slice of life and realities of women in ancient times. Also bro in life there is no such thing as equal love nor perfect relationship

Before Lin Jinqi dies, he ties a red thread around their wrists and asks that they find each other again in their next lives. - I consider this happy ending still....

If by any chance a son is born. All the daughters will become just pawns for marriage no footing in the household. 3rd sister will also lose her power as the main wife. It will be a miserable life for all of them. She cares for her daughter more than the marriage itself.
People have to understand that child bearing amd chromosome things are only discovered in 20th century. 😭 so all the blame is directed to women since they are the one bearing children
