I'm impressed by the cast. Hopefully the script is good as I'm disappointed by another drama I'm watching. 2 days to go!

The author is known for writing strong female characters and recently her novels have been adapted into Cdramas.

I don't think they'll include this character but no guarantee. The drama is short at 30 eps and barely connected to the novel.

I don't know if it's the role limitations but CDL's acting outshines XYL. Considering we're halfway through the drama, I don't find the CP to be believable.

Nice OP! I miss the more energetic songs

So happy this is airing!

LOL!

It's very different. Like they only took the names and barebones.

I can't really recommend because the genres and novels published yearly in China beat the rest of the world by sheer volume. Try getting an account at Novel Updates and start at the forums there.

I read a lot of Chinese novels. Can you tell?😂

Actually, it was normal if a wife died to seek a sister or cousin from the same family. To ensure she'd care for the children because they are related.

Arranged marriages was the norm and most people got along fine. A person's heart isn't made of stone. He shared his life with her. Maybe it wasn't some grand love story but Yunxi loved her enough to mourn her.

"Don't worry. If you die, I'll give you offerings." Hanyan, that was a great line. He fully deserved XD

ML's way of answering every question by FL with another question is infuriating. Kudos to her for not kicking him in the family jewels.

Let's agree to disagree then. We hold different opinions.

The issue is how the narrative is written. It needs to be supported by evidence or foreshadowing. We are told the FL came back to find family and a home but in truth there's nothing for her in this manor and she keeps trying to carve out a place. If anything it only fits the profile of an abused child which she is.

12 but it doesn't matter because the show is pushing this angle since FL returned. It feels like the scriptwriter is trying to create a mother/daughter bond that doesn't exist.

I don't understand why FL thinks her mom is some weak, defenseless woman. Nothing indicates it in the plot so far and it's been proven that she managed to hold on to her position as lady of the manor for nearly 20 years. This woman is neither stupid nor weak.

Cinematography director deserves kudos. This drama looks beautiful. Every scene perfectly lit and framed, even the normal ones.

Snow White's stepmom?
