Good to see some love for ALP here. It's an underrated gem and deserves at least an 8.8 rating, especially considering some of the Xianxia dramas that can barely hold a candle to it getting 8.6-8.7 ratings.

A pity, lots of haters spam rated it down.

Like really, why should only MLs be cold and direct in rejecting SFLs' advances while FLs always choose to maintain a certain kind of ambiguity with SMLs? It really pisses me off.

I think there are a few movies/dramas that surpass the original novel version. The Prestige comes to mind.

There are a few c-dramas that actually were a bit better than the original novels. Best example would be 'Time and Him Are Just Right'. The original novel was simply unreadable. It was adapted well.

There's another adaption, Outlander tv series, which is kind of a mixed bag. Of the 7 seasons released, I felt 3 of them were better than the original novel, while the other 4 seasons successfully managed to piss me off lol. It's a wild ride, nonetheless. One of the very few romance novels adapted as a drama series in the west.

DAMN FUCKING YESSS!!

"If you were to hurt Xie Xue Chen, I will show no mercy to you!"

Finally a FL who is so crystal clear in drawing boundaries with SML leaving nothing vague or ambiguous to exist between them. Finally a FL who would stand on ML's side unconditionally and would retaliate against SML if he were to hurt ML.

Wish more C & K drama FLs are like Mu Xuan Ling.

Sorry, not sorry, for the expletives. lol! I've been waiting for a FL like Mu Xuan Ling all this time since I started watching C & K dramas, so I'm a bit excited here.

Ah, that explains his comment: "Why does he (ML) get everything good?" after his meeting with the FL. I thought he only met the FL for the first time and he's already enamored by her?

Thanks for clarifying this, I had to keep the drama on hold because I saw the OP's comment and felt that I could not continue watching this drama knowing that the FL would help SML even though he is causing the downfall of their family. I would have resume watching this drama right away if not for already starting my 3rd re-watch of My Dear Guardian. I'll get back to this once I'm done with the re-watch.

Btw, I think I've seen you in the As Beautiful As You drama comments section when it was airing.

The little guy is not the Crown Prince, he's the (late) Crown Prince's son. Li Ni's father and the (late) Crown Prince are (late) Emperor's sons.
Li Ni and the little guy are cousins.

Wait, when did Yuru help LZS? I'm only on episode 12, and given current situation, he should be the villain who is planning to bring her family down. Why would she help him?

Started watching this, and I'm on ep 11. Although I'm loving it, the constant loud, and unrelated, background music when people are just speaking normally is very very distracting. And this happens a lot.

Welp.

I haven't read the novel, but I did skip to the last chapter, where the author put a note at the end that goes: With the exception of our main characters, everyone else gets Sad Ending.

So, basically only the main couple get the happy ending in the novel.

And this one has both "Blossom" and "Love".

Yup, and it seems only the main couple get the happy ending.

Just had a look at the last chapter of the novel. Don't read below if you don't want to be spoiled.

There's a note from the Author at the end: With this, except for the main characters, everyone else (side characters) has a Bad Ending!

This looks super cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej-22Z64cNA

For Xianxias, I usually wait for the drama to finish airing, confirm it is a HE, and then proceed to binge-watch. Will be doing the same for this one too.

I've liked Vin Zhang in both costumes and modern dramas. Bai Jingting, however, is the other way around for me. I couldn't get into any of his modern dramas because of his looks, but I liked him a lot in the two costume dramas (Destined & New Life Begins) I've watched. I guess it comes down to "each to their own".

A lot of people were involved, sure, hence announcing a decree that the Empress and Qing Wang would pray for the Emperor Emeritus' health after he abdicates, and the Empress would eventually follow the Emperor upon his death. The people involved in the conspiracy are conspiring against the Empress and Qing Wang, and by this move, he is taking them out of the picture. Qing Wang would still be alive, but by then, the new Emperor would already establish himself strongly. And with Duke Ding still alive, Qing Wang would not dare to attempt at rebellion.

Have you watched ep 33? The Emperor knows the Empress was plotting against him before Duke Ding was being escorted back to the capital. He knows they are scheming for power and bringing back Duke Ding to safeguard him was his countermeasure.
