I really want to know what HY and HLL's backstory is. In the novel, I think he's in love with her and in the recent episodes, it's said that he fell for a "honey" trap by her?

Also, from the previews, I am wondering how the crown prince is going to get out of accepting the woman that HY wants to force upon them. Also, it seems like almost everyone knows about HLL and YS/crown prince. Lol, they are not doing a good job of being discrete.

Yes, and the eyebrows and eyes are the same too. I looked at a trailer and compared. If betting it's him. He might be working for someone else but idk who.

It's definitely censor zhu. The voice of the villain sounds similar to his voice.

I could totally see him doing this tbh. He's so treacherous.

Even in the drama, it is pretty clear what happens during that scene yet people are still trying to defend his character as you said. Honestly, I felt he was at the point of no redemption at that scene and then immediately after him killing who he thought was GX. Idk how people expected a happy ending for this drama. Nothing about them ending up together would have been happy. I saw a cut picture where he tries to jump into the water to forget and apparently it does not let him. They should have kept that scene in.

Yetan and Youqin couple name. Well, one of them.

Lmao, he's upset because his grandma said his brother and his crush would be a good match 🤣🤣🤣 oh he's so far gone lmao

I still can't believe that our ShangTan couple was holding hands...ashdhffkfkfl 😍 I can't wait for Hello Saturday next week.

So he's worse in the book... 🙃🙃🙃 that's actually so crazy. That poor girl.

I honestly don't think it would have ended differently. He can never make up for what he did to her. Also, I think that GXW and LCY are both who he really is. He is capable of being sweet but he is a monster. That's what made this show so heartbreaking. The first time I tried to watch it I couldn't finish it. It took me a second attempt to finish it. This is one of the few moments where I think a sad ending is perfectly justified because a "happy ending" would only be happy for him.

The more I rewatch this show the more I am certain that what she is experiencing is a trauma bond. I feel so bad for her.

I was thinking this might be it too but I don't really get that vibe from this emperor for some reason.

Thank you for the explanation :)

Also...Why is Yuan Su the crown prince instead of Yuan Hao? Ik that Yuan Su is smarter etc so his qualifications make him more suitable for crown prince however, I am assuming both Yuan Su and Yuan Hao's mothers are consorts of equal ranking, so wouldn't the next person to be put in the position be the eldest? I'm basing this logic of mine on other palace-like dramas that I've seen. Maybe I am overthinking.

Lol, is 3rd prince calling crown prince jealous with that jar of vinegar? So cute.

Tian Jiamin's smile at prince Yuan Hao in episode 6 is so cute. She looks so pretty.

A lot of people keep pointing out that the female lead pretending to be weak is obvious but...isn't that the point? There are a lot of characters like this in cdramas. For example, in minglan, one of the other scheming concubines kept acting weak and innocent and everyone saw through it except minglan's father who was in love with her. Her act doesn't have to be super believable, it just has to be enough to get her out of things/trouble.

I'd love to see Chen XingXu or Jing Bo Ran in the ML role. As for the female lead, I don't really have a preference. Excited for this to air.

Hmmm maybe I confused the book with the tv show. I'll have to go back and rewatch. From what I understood they had not completed everything but were in the process which is why I just concluded it as an engagement.

I feel like I should read the book because maybe it will answer some of the remaining questions I have. But I am scared because I feel like it will be much sadder than the tv show. Also, I love you analysis. 100% agree.
