Does that mean that what General Li saw didn't really happen (i.e. his sword going right through the emperor's torso)? Or Did the emperor survive the stab, courtesy of the empress' sorcerer minion?

What is the timeline of General Li killing the Yao emperor? When exactly did that killing occur? Wasn't the emperor chained to the bed by his empress and her sorcerer minion?

Help, I am so confused. 😂. Spoiler question below:👇

😂😂😂😂

Well for one, the show has a character, who is a super-human speedster; can single handedly decimate an entire elite army and has heightened senses.

Goodness... Mo Yin is not the smartest tool in the shed. If he is this way, it means the rest of his sect must be dunces. 😐

Wait a minute, did the CP kidnap Li Shuang? That's similar to what happened in Kill Me Love Me. A character played by he same actor as CP did the same thing to the FL.

This actor is about to be typecast. He better start rejecting such roles.

Hmm... Pretend? That would also be interesting. I guess he might have reasons to do that (maybe to get an advantage over his enemies at court). This would highlight the shrewd nature of Prince Annan.🙂

I agree with you that it would be sad if he totally lost his Jin An memories. However, I don't think that would happen. Even if he loses those memories at first, I think they will eventually return.

I like your take. Especially, how you said Prince Annan will become the dominant personality within him and that he doesn't really know her as prince Annan. If the show goes that route, that would be very interesting and nuanced. It would make this arc really interesting.

Well, in the novel, even though we did not spend a lot of time with the Prince when his memories came back, the novel still showed that he was a bit restful of her at first. So, even though he didn't forget her, he still struggled a bit to reconcile his feelings. He even wanted to kill her at one point but could not do it.

Yeah... That would be heartbreaking.

Someone made a comment here stating that it looks like Jin An already has his memories (or at least part of his memories) back. This got me thinking and I have a a question.


I've read the novel and in the novel when his memories as the prince returns, he does not lose his memories of Li Shuang. Most of us (myself included) have been speculating that in the show, he will forget Li Shuang when his memories come back. But what if the show keeps it the same as the novel - he gets his memories back but he still remembers her? I don't know how that will work. But do you guys think that could happen on the show?

Question about Jin An and his Prince Annan memories 👇

That part is not in the novel. In the novel, when we gets his memories back, he still has his memories as Jin An. He does not forget her in the novel. Also, in the novel we do not spend a lot of time with the Prince after his memories return. Nothing major really happens with his character. The show is doing a much better job fleshing out Prince Anna's character. We are going to have more time with him on the show (compared to the novel).

He's worse! Think of his "Kill Me Love Me" character but with more pettiness, selfishness and jealousy. 😐

We don't know verification they had a past. But you could be right. Especially, since the writing is always reminding us that Li Shuang was an orphan who was adopted by the Li family. What if Li Shuang's biological parents are from the Yao kingdom?

Waiting for new episodes is giving me anxiety 😭😂. So, I decided to go back and Start to re-watch from episode 1 (while I wait for later episodes to accumulate). I have to say, my re-watch has confirmed for me that this drama is made to be binged. I'm enjoying it so much more (if that is even possible) as I go through my re-watch.

I have so many. But if I were to choose one, it will be the bookstore scene [in Ninglan(sp?)] in episode 8. The way Jin An was walking and looking at Li Shuang through the bookshelves as she browsed through scrolls was so romantic. I think that was the moment Jin An knew for certain that he was in love with Li Shuang.

I attribute such weird takes to the instant gratification era we as a society now live in.


A lot of people have forgotten the need to build up characters and the relationships within a story. Just like most fans of the show, I also want to see the Prince. However, in order for the story to have a meaningful impact when "the prince's memories" return, the character Jin An and his relationship to Li Shuang and those around her have to be fleshed out well. If this part is rushed through, then there will be a lack of impact when Jin An gets his memories back.


Also, people seem to forget that the primary story here is Li Shuang's story. It's her story, first and foremost. Her character, and her character's relationships to those around her (including her romantic relationship with Jin An,) are the main drivers of the narrative. Case in point, when the "Prince" persona returns, what most people are looking forward to is how he will react to/interact with Li Shuang. That's the exciting part of his plot.



Personally, I love the pacing of the story. The director is doing an amazing job in regard to how the story is unfolding.
