I remember in season 1 how many people wanted FX to be with Duo Duo instead while saying the Wan Er is so bland…
They are different and cater to FX's exact needs. It's a different kind of love. Wan’er holds his heart and fulfills his physical needs, while duoduo is his confident and romance is not mandatory. Both complete his soul. (my interpretation)
Yes. S2 will probably ends bittersweet or with a big bad a boom to keep us on our toes. And we will have S3 closing the trilogy announced on press conference.
Something fun to think about, if FX gets instated as prince later on... so what # prince will he be in the order…
In the novel, the order is
1. First prince or great prince (3 years older with CP) - mother concubine 2. Crown prince (if not crown prince he would have been named second prince) - mother empress 3. Days apart from CP, fan Xian (confirmed by emperor) - mother should have been empress but refused - 4. 1 year later second prince (1 year difference with CP) - mother concubine 5. 7 years later the third prince (8 years difference with fan Xian) - mother concubine
The names do not reflect the order they were born
Crown prince First prince Second prince Third prince
For novel readers, when will they reveal FX's true identity? When will the princes find out FX's true identity?
the drama follows the novel, At the Chrysanthemum Observation Meeting We didn't see the episode It wasn't a public announcement but more the was the emperor acted, like a father reprimanded his son

In the novel, Fan Xian is a teenager who arrives in Jingdou. Li Cheng Ping (3rd prince) is only 10 years old as…
Chapter 40 Approaching the Capital
He was sixteen years old, and he knew that among influential officials and powerful families, marriage was discussed as a part of the agenda. Even after all these years, his father hadn’t forgotten about his illegitimate son, and so this day was inevitable. However it seemed rather rushed, and he couldn’t understand why.
Chapter 72
Seeing the tender beauty leave his lap, Fan Xian gave a sigh of relief. After all, he was a thirty-some-year-old virgin in his previous life.
***
16 + 30 = 46 years mature in a body of 16 years old when he arrived at the capital
746 chapters and not even at mid novel yet at S2 ep 25
Lol this will depend on budget, casting available, and screenwriter. Right now many arcs are compiled so 3 seasons may be enough plus on press conference it was said trilogy. Maybe S3 will have 46 episodes like S1
screenwriter choice. He changed many ARCs and downplayed the martial fights. You may see them again in S3 :)
I recall 1-2 minutes with the young dukes He jumped on the roof to escape the marriage clothes - no fighting He ran on the roof to meet the emperor - no fighting But I do not recall much fight at all nor tyrannical Zhenqi sessions I am not impressed with the martial choreography
But considering the last part of the novel, if there are no fights I wonder if we will watch the same story. I hope to watch something epic in S3
she never learned the martial arts but the herbs and became a doctor. so she was never truly the grandmaster's disciple but a disciple of the sect who followed the equivalent of Fei doctor but not poisons. She was taught to use herbs to heal. Remember that nature is part of Haitang/DuoDuo and Hu Ku teaching.
you are right on this. everything you see between second prince and Yler is out of the screenwriter's brain. it does not exist in the novel at all. in the novel, YLer and second prince married and became parters and confident. YLer brought a lot on the table with her marriage and she had A LOT of support from her family. so everything is messy because it is not part of the novel.

FX father is the emperor
Wan’er mother is the emperor's sister
That makes them cousins. In the novel they are true brother and sister, same mother
1. First prince or great prince (3 years older with CP) - mother concubine

4. 1 year later second prince (1 year difference with CP) - mother concubine
5. 7 years later the third prince (8 years difference with fan Xian) - mother concubine
