Dramaqueen

100% with you on this

We have simlar tastes bestie 😭😭😭😭 those two are definitely on my list. Thank god they appeared and saved this year.
But my all time favorite is zhao pan'er from dreams of splendor. I even found a resemblance between the two actresses.

at this point ngl, FL is easily TOP 3 in my FAVORITE FL in a costume cdrama list .
I am SOOOO in love with her. her intelligence and badassery are exciting to watch.
I never watched the actress before in anything but that beauty and poise. BY GOD!

I blinked and he became emperor wtf lmao

that was such a good scene. did NOT disappoint

ngl I am skipping all the secondary relationships . i am just not interested in them.

ML didn't know she was a bandit. for him she was a concubine of a bandit who was kidnapped by him 3 years ago.
I don't blame him for the initial lies because howerver morally grey that was, from his point of view she was an important chess piece , but afterwards when SML capitulated, there was no longer a reason for the scam . first he tried to arrange her life for her and find her a husband, then arranged to marry her for real once he thought he started to love her. all that while still LITERALLY planting false memories in an amnesiac women and basically playing with her vulnerable brain. not to mention how the fact that he pretended to be her husband in that period in time means for a woman.
the level of deceit and cowardice should logically make it hard for her to forgive him.

I personally would never be able to forgive him lmao. but as this is a fictional cdrama, the best result would be for FL to make him suffer as long as possible from a narrative stand point till she can feel like being able to move on and have her happy ending with him.

you changed ur pfp! that was one hot scene. FL is so badass for that bite 🤣

FINALLY the episodes of reckoning I was most looking for. I hate that we're getting 1 episode for day. can't wait for the confrontation. hope FL makes ML hurt for quite a bit of time. he deserves it.
But last episode made me soften a bit towards him. He seems to be someone resolute awhen he loves someone. and I love that quality in my MLs lmao

I disagree. from what I see (in ep 17 especially) he is literally planting false memories on someone who is completely and utterly vulnerable and dependant on him.
I agree with you on the start that his actions may have been be justified for the "greater good" at least from hus point of view but now continuing the charade just spells moral corruption.
He is a coward at best, Despicable at worst.
and what relationship? the one where she think she is legally married and allowed him liberties that could absolutely ruin her in that time period regardless of whether he took advantage of her sexually or not.
And yes that is yaojing in my profile pic what about it 👀

I truly don't believe what he feels for her love. from how he feels so at ease manipulating her but still wants her with him I feel ot's closer to a obsession.
He doesn't realize how by telling more and more lies everyday he is making coming clean every harder on himself .
And lmao WE ALL WAITING FOR THE GROVELING 😂

Please he had many opportunities before the war started but he is too much of a coward and/or doesn't care about the hurt this whole charade is gonna cause the FL.
and btw just last episode he was gonna gonna confess even during the war but he was conveniently interrupted by his sidekick. So yeah war is not excuse.

Nah to me, the only angst I got from that scene is the FL's realization that she had been completely used and manipulated. He is willingly planting false memories and hurting her so I cannot sympathize with him one bit.
atp I think all those enjoying this show are anticipating the groveling more than the kisses 🤣🤣🤣

THIS. he is a morally corrupt character and a coward to boot.
I am not getting the feeling that the drama is romanticizing this yet in the sense that the reaction from the FL was of someone deeply betrayed and devastated. and they gave her the space to feel that hurt. I think FL is gonna get back at him and he deserves anything coming his way tbh. if executed right, it's gonna be great tv.

ML is truly despicable. that scene of both of them on the bed with him effortlessly weaving tales of their fake life together was just too cruel. there is no reason for him to keep the truth from her anymore apart from from cowardice or a creepy version of "love" . he is literally plantng false memories in her head, messing her up, someone he considers "innocent". All that with a creepy ass smile.
but tbh, him being so hateful elevates this story. for once we ain't getting a vanilla ML. as long as they don't pinkwash him later on and justify his actions giving him a tragic back story or whatever, he has the potential of being one of the most interesting and unique MLs in cdramas.
I am ready for a serious amount of groveling lmao.

FL starting to remember some stuff. she used to be so freaking cool ngl. As a matter of fact I am in awe at how she is STILL as cool despite her losing her memory. coming up with the horses strategy , leading the whole women village, finding out about the paid security in her fake husband's employ.
I love how her western friend told her to be cautious of her deceitful husband despite his trash warning.

ep 16:

omg I was wracking my brains because I could swear I heard a VERY similar song before. but couldn't place it.

yeah I can't wait for the aftermath. and I hope they make it good and that he doesn't get forgiven easily.
