I don't know anything about the novel, but the new trailer is full of cute fluff. They look so adorable together. Will there be some angst too? 🥺

Omg yes! *pulls out chair and tent* ⛺️

Joke on them. They didn’t know there was another “Yan” that could command the army too.

It's interesting that the emperor and Duke Xue think that having the Yan’s seal would command the army. Nah, it's the Yan that does and the seal is just a symbol. 😬

It's it follows the novel then yes.

They both have no problem admitting they're not good people. They will do what's necessary and don't mind getting their hands dirty. Hardly we ever see the main lead couple both as grey characters and I love it. The most savage couple. 🤭

Jiang XueNing is the most herself with Xie Wei. She’s not 100% herself with others as she seems to try to look sweet and innocent when needed. But her mask comes off with Xie Wei. With any successful relationship, you have to be yourself and the other person accepts you for you. She tries to act proper and sweet in front of Zhang Zhe but she has said she’s a scoundrel. This is why I can't see her with ZZ. Zhang Zhe is too upright and nice.

Ep 12

This is why she will end up with Xie Wei. This is a slow-burn romance and it'll be fire/passion once they get together. Can't wait!

I legit laughed out loud at that scene because it's obvious he only uses his cousin’s name to express his feelings/frustration. Xie Wei will be drinking a lot of vinegar from now on. Love it. 🤣

She admires him and feels guilty to him because of her first life but I'm not sure if it's real love. And no, they don't get together in the end.

I’m living for Xie Wei's jealousy. Let’s go! His frowning face will only get worse. 😆

Zhang Linghe needs to take on more morally grey characters. I enjoy him being the crazy and complex character. It's kinda hot lol.

Finally, director Guo JingMing posted his own Weibo response.

I swear if GJM makes Neo’s character dumb like how he did with Gong ZiYu then I'm going to riot. He made the character dumber than he should be and the ending made him look like an idiot letting his bride leave on her own. Even ZLH said he couldn't understand that part. It made no sense and made the character unlikable. Neo Hou is the main lead in this drama, so let's not forget that and hope GJM is not using Neo only for traffic to promote GJM’s favs. I by no means have anything against the other cast members. I can see that they all get along very well from BTS videos. I hope this drama will be good, although I don't expect a happy ending since GJM is allergic to that. Good luck to Neo. He's a precious guy.

I'm pretty sure this photo is from The Story of Kunning Palace.

It's more like a super distant cousin. Like 500 years distance. HuZi’s father was QXX’s ancestor from 500 years ago.
