Of course, he reports only to the emperor. Wouldn't someone be afraid of say the director of the CIA?😄

His authority isn't lower, just limited in scope.

Same. Usually they give this scene to women XD

They are all wearing purple robes in the court scene so same rank bit different authority. Duke Su has less powers because he's more in intelligence and capturing criminals. Unlike the Li and Jiang ministers who have their own factions in court.

The english translation is often misleading because of limited vocabulary. But there are lords and dukes not related to the imperial family.

No, it can also be given to people who made great contributions and so the emperor bestows the title and may or may not make it hereditary.

God yes🤣

Wait a minute. What's this NSFW scene in ep
19?😂 Me blushing!

Yes. He's abusing his position as governor but that's because he has backing.

I'm grateful either way😂

Then it aired quickly by cdrama standards.

Yes😂

The rain scene is clever because it shows a more playful and vulnerable side of the FL, but it shows that she doesn't let her guard even though she's drunk. There's a lot of double speak between the leads. They've reached a point of mutual respect but they still don't really trust each other.

Agree. I like them too😄

Governor Tong is too fond of the opera that he thinks he's the protagonist in a play😂

She's not in love. She's drunk and sees a handsome man so comments on it. It's normal.

Exactly

She had continuous flashbacks to her trauma for almost 16 eps. That's not fast at all. In fact it's much better than most cdramas. But she's learning to move forward now which is the right way to portray her as a strong woman working on her revenge.

Thank you. Rain scene music!

Good one😂

The rain sequence killed me! The indulgent smile of XH, the cute drunk XFF, and the way the mood yoyo-ed between childish delight and sexual tension! I am going to need to rewatch it a few times! Excellent use of music here.
