What was cut for Xie Zheng here is child's play compared to He Yan.

They kept all her romance scenes in but cut out a lot of her military exploits like how she formulate strategies, how she leads army, etc. If you want to see He Yan in all her glory, just read the novel.

umm.. because I enjoy watching it?

Seriously answering, I liked the novel and this adaptation is one of the better ones. They didn't butcher Fan Changyu like LOTFG did to He Yan. That's already a win in my book.

And I gotta support my girl Xiao Tian.

Gotta love how petty and vengeful she can be. She doesn't take any 💩 haha 🤣

I freaking love that Yin-Yang overhead shot in the bathtub.

They even made sure to keep ZLH is facing down and TXW is facing up to perfectly get the black and white dots in the center.

It was leaked sadly. If you've watched them, please don't discuss contents from those episodes here yet, as many viewers are still sticking to official schedule.

I think The First Frost during on-air period was even crazier. Eassy length comments... one after another. lol

Yes, her parents committed suicide to stop Wei Yan from getting his hands on Changyu and Changning.

Because Wei Yan wants to bury everyone and everything related to the events back then.

haha, yes, that one. I've read the novel but haven't watched the drama yet.

Anyhow, that was so funny lol, him fumbling to make her stop crying.

The subs are really crap. If you don't understand some Chinese, there's no way to understand those intricate details.

I think there is one drama where ML suffers from heart pain whenever FL cries, regardless of location or distance between them. lol

Yes

Gongsung family was once a prominent family, even producing two Empresses. But, the Emperor at that time couldn't tolerate Gongsung family anymore. Cue political machinations, and Gongsung family was almost eradicated with only a branch family surviving.

Hence, Gongsung family ancestors made a family rule preventing Gongsung family descendants from joining officialdom.

When you are all 3 mixed up... 😂😂😂

Even though some readers nitpick here and there, honestly speaking, this is a pretty good adaptation in my book, even faithful to the source material. There are worse stuffs out there tbh.

I'm just happy for the team that they are still pulling numbers even after the massive leaks.

She said 'ending'. So, she's talking about the last episode most likely.

Then, take revenge against the ones that hurt Changning? I think that's what she'll most likely do since she always directly addresses the source of the issue. She probably won't even blame Li Huaian.

ikr, that's the kind of character flaw I can accept and enjoy. We've had many flawless characters... and I do enjoy watching them as well. But, Changyu is certainly refreshing and love her for it.

Come on, at the least put it in spoiler tag. Many viewers are still sticking to official release schedule.

Changyu knocking ppl out doesn't sit well with some viewers. I can respect that perspective.

Though, for me, I would rather let Changyu directly knock ppl out than her potentially going on an endless monologue and preaching about moral principles to convince the other party like many of the characters we've seen before.

Plus, it's in line with her character. Direct, short, effective... consequenes be damned. A simple solution for a simple person. 😂
