The synopsis; the first part doesn't reveal much, but the second contains spoilers

How can this be a reverse harem?
Could say she has several suitors, We can say it's a love triangle.

what a despicable man...
concubine and half-sister irritate me, but that man is awful.

ML? Yes, he fell;

He's a widower, but he's not that old.
She had her coming of age ceremony;

Yes, that's true.
I saw by accident, one YT content creator used "synopsis" but spoiler version.
I follow a channel and out of curiosity I opened the video, but I never imagined I'd stumble upon a spoiler.

Viki

yeah, trailer is clearly a spoiler.
Well, now I'm looking forward to it, many things are going to happen.

I hadn't seen the trailer, but now that you've mentioned it, I went to look for it!!!. Well, well, that good.

ep9. Chen Xuan Qing perhaps he was a good choice before, but not now. He's a bad choice.

Gu Jin Chao I'm really liking her. She is quite decisive knows what wants.

Ye Xian is too problematic to be FL's partner and I don't think he can decide her marriage, his family is complicated and they won't like FL because she doesn't have the same status, nobles are too annoying.

CQX doesn't stand a chance, Gu Jin Chao seems to be that type of person who doesn't look back, so when she threw the kite, it's over. CQX is in a bad situation, he has all the past related to his family, he has an arranged marriage, political issues involved and most importantly I don't see him as someone "decisive".

Chen Yan Yun has already saved FL three times and now she recognized/remembered him and knows that it was he who pulled her out of the water. ML drew a picture of FL. He best partner, even if he has enemies, he is strong enough.

There should be a fourth one, but it didn't impress me enough to warrant mentioning.
That half-sister is kind of annoying.
FL's family is awful, except for her grandmother, there's no one good in her, even though her mother isn't bad, she's too weak/naive.

they're just boys when compared ML.
others are close to her age, but none are promising enough to be worthy of her.

I was wondering why the acting was so exaggerated and unrealistic.
I don't usually watch Japanese dramas, but what bothers me are the nonsensical scenes;
protagonist's ex-boyfriend is a good example. Was it supposed to be a comedy? But if it was, I didn't find it funny. I don't intend to continue; I gave up on ep 3.

Waiting together; I don't remember that, but it would really give the audience a bittersweet feeling. I understand your point.

Script decision was wrong.
They could have given us the bad ending and a happy ending in an extended alternate reality. Just take 10 minutes and make a beautiful happy ending with a parallel reality where Yan Xin abandons her hatred, ML and FL stay together forever, Chun'er falls in love with Li Yan, and Li Ce becomes King. But a timeline that makes sense. What the drama did was give us "possibilities," but not a different timeline.

I don't like that the script left so much room for interpretation; look, there's the "dream," there's "reality," and there are the "what ifs" of "possibilities."
I was expecting a clear ending, regardless of whether it was good or bad. Even if it was different from the novel.

Sure, 'rebirth' gives us several possibilities, but they are multiple possibilities and not an alternate ending. I'll give the example of Pursuit Jade; there they give us an alternate ending (10 minutes), showing how things would be if something hadn't happened.

Harem? she can only have one husband. Sorry, look for a drama with a reverse harem.
Here we have at most several love interests, she'll choose one and that's it, yes I don't like this plot, because I think it's a waste of time and I usually only care about one, I don't usually 'ship' FL with more than one ML. But what's the problem with that?

Yes, and what does that have to do with anything? Just because it says so there, do I really need to consider everyone? The truth is, most don't even have a chance.

Actually, I liked this drama. I honestly didn't understand what the problem was, but it's okay.

I saw people talking about it
My impression is based on the first two episodes.

"I find the plot boring," Yes, nobody forced me, but I'm still going to watch it. Finally, I don't understand what the problem is? If you like this kind of plot, good for you.

Did I say anything untrue? This is merely my personal opinion.
You're the one who's bothered by other people's opinions. I didn't understand your personal attack.

S2 It's a bad ending, I can only see it that way.

The only scene that somewhat resembles the novel is the dream, because in the novel it's a happy ending. There, the male and female protagonists are "rulers" and have children, but Yan Xun isn't close to them; the guy is literally a tyrant.
