It is happy ending. Dou Zhao is pregnant with their second child. They also have a son who is 3 y.o.
The leads mentioned in interview their daughter enters the age of attending school. There are pictures of them with this daughter. Tbh I was hoping she would have a son like in the novel bcos her son is what solidified her status in Duke Ying mansion.
Women had to learn so many etiquettes back then I would never survive 😭
Not only etiquette. They also had to learn: painting, calligraphy, sewing, qin, and read books. They were not allowed to talk back to the elders, open business, or alone with unmarried men. How many women were actually happy in that era? But that only applied to noble and aristocrat daughters.
I skipped the early parts of the novel so want to confirm this. Is Miao An Su in the drama an altered version…
First, Dou Ming is the exact copy of her mother. Jealous, petty, scheming, but just like Song Han, she can only bark, but has no brain. She wants to beat Dou Zhao, so she works hard to get a job for Wei Tingyu.
Wei family (his mother and sister) hate Dou Ming, but they are eyeing for her dowry. Wei Tingyu realized Dou Ming is like a painting, only looks good on the surface. He still longs Dou Zhao, so his relationship with DM is cold.
Dou Ming also suffered miscarriage after an argument with Wei family.
Since then, Wei Tingyu avoids her and starts having mistresses. He lost his job and has to borrow money to secretly raise another mistress and child outside. Bcos Dou Ming poisoned his mistress to suffer miscarriage.
Basically Wei Tingyu doesn't change from the first lifetime. Still spineless, useless, brainless.
Dad’s backbone looks nice but is it temporary or permanent lol?
He is actually a very good and caring father in the novel. He keeps protecting Dou Zhao and locked Wang Yingxue in her room. Since the drama had made them reconcile, he will prioritize Dou Zhao from now on. Don't forget he still has to punish Wang Yingxue for her evil deeds later.
I skipped the early parts of the novel so want to confirm this. Is Miao An Su in the drama an altered version…
Yes. The drama script changed a lot. They made Miao Ansu as the SFL and Dou Zhao's childhood friend. But she will marry Song Han nevertheless. I just hope she stays the same with the novel, hating Song Han and sides with Dou Zhao.
I have given the spoilers about it, but some people might want to avoid spoilers. Do you really want it?
Song Yichun HATES the Jiang family and his wife. He had a lover, but was forced to marry Madam Jiang by the previous Duke Ying. The previous Duke Ying thought Song Yichun incompetent and useless, so he planned to pass his title to Song Mo.
Song Mo has been excellent literary and military, he is fast in learning, smart, outstanding child. He is greatly favored by the emperor. His uncles helped raised and trained him. Song Yichun is jealous of Song Mo and afraid people would take his side. That's why he keeps trying to tarnish Song Mo's reputation and eventually kicks him out of family ancestry. He wants to pass the title to Song Han bcos he can be controlled, unlike Song Mo, whom he calls rebellious, evil, unfilial. Song Yichun NEVER cares about his sons. He only cares more his reputation, and title.
The reason why Song Mo killed Song Yichun and Song Han in the first lifetime?
Song Yichun had been poisoning Madam Jiang. Song Han knew about this when he was 11 and accidentally found out the secret about his birth. So he helped poisoned his mother. But he lied to Song Mo. Song Mo believed him.
There is another reason, but I think the drama changed this plot 😭
Now, I'm loving her so much. What is her past good projects that I can get into?
Royal Rumours!! def worth watching if you love romcom, not too serious drama. Only 24 eps. This drama and herself received awards.
Legend of Heroes. She is the villain until ep 18. She gained a lot of praises and all her clips are the most watched.
Immortal Samsara. Although she acts as the jealous sister.
Heroes (2022). Her story and acting is really intriguing. She outshines the FL.
Other than that might be (although I don't really recommend it): Parallel World (another villain role). Legend of Two Sisters in the Chaos (the pacing and some characters are a bit annoying).
I hope MZY and LYR potential is noticed by more people and it'll raise their popularity and give them opportunities…
Tbh MZY has been getting more lead roles and scripts starting this year. She is famous in china, usually in top 10 among c-actress in 95 liner. But she is not famous globally. Way under the radar of global cfans.
I have given the spoilers about it, but some people might want to avoid spoilers. Do you really want it?
I ALWAYS do it. I had experiences before. There were people asking, but then said "I don't want spoilers" when given ones. That's why I asked her whether she really wants it.
Will Ji Yong have feelings for FL? Is it so in the novel? How's his ending?
He remains single in the novel bcos he looks down on everyone. He also hates being set up for marriage. Only Dou Zhao is equal to him, that's why he asked his grandpa to propose her. He even threatened his family if he pass imperial examinations and so on, he is free to do anything and his family will stop arranging marriage.
Wei family (his mother and sister) hate Dou Ming, but they are eyeing for her dowry. Wei Tingyu realized Dou Ming is like a painting, only looks good on the surface. He still longs Dou Zhao, so his relationship with DM is cold.
Dou Ming also suffered miscarriage after an argument with Wei family.

We will have 2 days of wedding celebration! 🎉 (bcos 1 day is not enough).
