She is strong and knows martial arts from the start of the story. This has been established well throughout the story tbh. May be you missed some details.

Saved by "Crown Princess", Qi Min's mother. And yes, he's the grandson of the previous Emperor.

Not important. That's why.

But, this leads to the implication of Changning being the future Empress in the extra story. So, a sweet wrap up for the kids as well.

Qi Min was broken and crazy even before meeting Qian Qian.. so odds are low even if that's the case I guess

I found the x post here haha

Yes!

And that's how "If Zhu Yu becomes a hit, both managers should kiss" trended at hot search 3rd place when the drama started airing lmao

They actually kept Changning's physiognomy reading scene... I was for sure that they would left it out in the drama. Thanks writer!

Aside drama Xie Zheng being a bit more romantic and a bit lesser political intrigues on screen, it's quite similar.

Not as different as Prisoner of Beauty and its novel does.

Those specific scenes were in the extra stories.

Xie Zheng got jealous of something Li Huaian has gifted to Changyu in the past, hence 'interrogated' her at night thoroughly. Changyu can't take it anymore and fled to the palace where her bestie Yu Qian Qian is, to hide from Xie Zheng.

(There are long married at this point of the story)

After a few days, Xie Zheng wore scholar outfit into the palace (which he dislikes because of Song Yan) to coax Changyu.

And donning the scholar outfit just to coax her out of the palace. It was hilarious. 🤣

When FL took the horse, you can see the leash was put around the sword.

She's well familiar with the prescriptions used in the palace. So, she has studied medicine for sure.

There are ppl who would label 'overhyped' to literally any show, so better judge yourself if it's to your taste. This drama is very well paced, so won't take long to get the feel of it.

The waterfall scene... they freaking nailed it!

The build up, the dialogues, the delivery... it couldn't have been better that this. Bonus was, they followed the source material to a T to keep the essence as well. Ah... this adaptation is totally a wet dream for novel readers tbh.

Around ch 80

We really need to have a slap counter when the drama ends. Seems like it should be quite high compared to other dramas lol.

Bet Sui Yuanqing taking the top spot for it. He surely racked up quite a bit. 😂

"Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here"

I was justing talking about this user the other day and now he/she is here. lol

It's the weapon she's most comfortable in. If mine is a pebble, I might still choose it over others. lol
