The plot wasn't progressing and not enough episodes are left so everything starts becoming weird from Ep.28
I don't know how to say this nicely so excuse me, but in the drama XZ has no character and is basically a lovesick fool. In the novel, his character is stronger and he's much more focused on his duties as a general and his revenge and duty toward his family. He loves FCY very much but he's not blinded by it to the point where he's going to abandon everything. If you watch the drama, you see everyone is very afraid of XZ and respect him but we are not SHOWN why people are wary of him. Because he spends most of the drama mooning over FCY😅
Plus all the history and politics were not explained so it's a mad rush in the last 10 eps.
The old emperor was suspicious of his eldest son, the crown prince and plotted his death. When there was trouble…
Wei Yan was roped into it and was going to take the full blame. This is the problem with the drama, not enough eps dedicated to the plot. Maybe they'll mention it in the last few eps.

Agree to everything you pointed out. I commented on MDL that there wasn't going to be enough episodes left for the plot and that was when we reached ep.20 and still hadn't left the town. No one agreed with me😆
I commented here that FCY's characterization is inconsistent, you can check for my comment so I don't repeat it, which results in this Mary Sue image that appears in certain scenes.Both her and XZ are not like their original selves in the novel.
I’m on ep 29 where Yuanhuai’s real identity’s been explained. I’m kinda shocked he’s telling Qianqian…
The old emperor was suspicious of his eldest son, the crown prince and plotted his death. When there was trouble later on, he put his young son as emperor and abdicated.
The princess is the current young emperor's sister.
FCY's characterization in the drama is not consistent. She's either super cheerful and blithely ignorant or deadly and dangerous. It's like there's no middle ground. The viewer doesn't need her to be entertaining all the time, she just needs to exist and behave like a normal character so the more dramatic moments can stand out.
I think this is the scriptwriter's job and not the director.
Directors don't have as much control over the final cut as you think. Often the producer also interferes. Plus the scriptwriter is responsible for adapting the source material.
The director's previous drama, Blossom, had decent pacing and plot per ep.
Okay this used to be basic etiquette but let's repeat it for those who don't know:
1. If you're watching this drama on an illegal site, don't mention the site's name here or that you're doing this. It's a public forum. *headdesk* 2. Please use SPOILER tags. They're there for a reason.

The director also worked on Blossom and that was with a different screenwriter. There was so much plot for only 34 eps.
