Ohh okay. Sorry I misunderstood you.

....most of the discussions have been people complaining about the random noble idiocy that jcy had. It did not make sense for him not to confess sooner when everyone already thought of Mudan as his favored concubine and would thus attack her to get to him. The divorce stuff in the recent episode made sense but before that it did not and just seemed like a plot point to drag things out. It's not wrong for people to call this out. You are right that skinship and kisses should not define a relationship but again, jcy constantly rejecting their feelings/relationship while STILL having Mudan as his concubine and having pretend love fights was dumb. In ep 17, if they didn't kiss/sleep together and Mudan really left, I would have been fine because at least he's finally acknowledging what's going on between them which is honestly the more important thing.

I think we get that when he randomly returns after being suspected of being dead.

I think 16/17 is when they get together and 18 is when the banquet happens and during that banquet is when Ning Wang stages a coup. But JCY gets the emperor away in time from the clips I've seen. So the war will be going on throughout 18 - 24.

I'm not surprised by his development. He kept going on about being lowly in the first season and I knew that whole dialogue with one of Ning Wang's men when in jail would set him over the edge.

I feel like they are going to include some sort of time skip in the upcoming episodes in order for this to all work out. Maybe mudan helps him with the lettuce stuff, he breaks up with her again eg the coconut stuff, there's a time skip and then we get the boat/their first kiss??

This is my biggest question. He's seen talking about how he asked the emperor for candles, he's not jailed. I'm so confused on how he gets out of the embezzlement. Unless they somehow find another scapegoat or Mudan has money stored somewhere...but that was a lot of money...

That's what I was thinking too. I've been trying to fit everything together but I keep getting confused. For example, the scene where she's crying in the coconut looking hat and he rejects her...when does that happen?? Or the festival where they wear mask and dance?

Oh...that's true. I'll just have to hope they are wrong.

Have you seen ep 17 trailer? Most of the sexy scenes are from that trailer. So we will most likely be getting those scenes soon. The knife emoji is ep 18. That's when Ning Wang stabs JCY. So I feel like the scenes aren't fake.

There's a clip of her investigating something and she knocks down a mask which turns out to be him, so I think eventually JCY will escape whatever prison they put him in.

Being captured by liu chang is basically the same as imprisonment 😭that's why I wrote that.

We get maybe 2 episodes of happiness and then jcy's and mudan's imprisonment happens lmao. No wonder they have him feasting on her. Happiness before the storm.

Side note, I wonder how he's going to get out of the setup. I can't wait for tomorrow's episodes

This is their guess. They don't know for sure.

True lmao.

I think he doesn't have an empress yet because of the situation with Ning Wang. There would be too much fighting because Ning Wang would want the empress to be the one he picked. As for the princess, I don't think she'd be the official "wife" even if she is a princess.

Guys!!! Guys!!! Check the official douyin account. We Won! The war is over lmao.

There are videos of JCY feasting on Mudan's face finally. Lmao.

For me, it's not about seeing it as a romance drama or not. I didn't start this viewing it as a romance, but if you are going to include romance, dragging it out will annoy most viewers. They like each other, and the reasons jcy has for not pursuing anything are dumb because everyone already views mudan as his beloved concubine. They will come after her to hurt him no matter what. And even if she wasn't his concubine, liu chang is obsessed with her, so the princess will never let her know peace. Her life would be in danger anyway, so the noble bs is driving everyone nuts because, given the situation, it doesn't make sense. I think
I could withstand it more if she didn't have this reputation of being loved by him. Then his actions would make sense, and I would not be expecting anything to progress.

There was a leaked scene of JCY and Mudan kissing and then sleeping together (it's implied). I think that's going to be their first kiss lol. I feel like it'll happen ep 16 or 17. Tbh though, it really should not be taking this long given what happened in season 1. They should have had their first kiss in the recent episode. Not even an accidental kiss has happened. I get that this is airing on TV in China, and there are rules, but kids can handle kissing. It's taking too long. I think I'd be less frustrated if this drama weren't split into 2 parts and I didn't have to wait 6 months.

That's your opinion and that's fine. What I wrote is my opinion.
