THIS SERIES WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.. BUT BUT I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.. AND PLEASE.. IF SOMEONE CAN EXPLAIN, DO IT…
I wrote an editorial article on the drama. Most of the answers are in the article. You can check it out. The link is in the Discussion section or on my profile.
Sorry, I've been busy writing articles for my website. Updated now as of 8 June. Will look for the good links for the last two dramas (Litchi & 7 Relics).

I am DEAD. Despite the plot driving me insane, I am sitting here smiling like a lovestruck teenager because oh…
It seems the character development in the drama is about Shu Jing Ran and not Yun Yi. He, from being a follower of his parents' arrangements, to offering himself to be independent and take on a task to rebuild Lingzhou.
In the novel is quite different. Yun Yi left to travel the world. Since I only read the last chapters, I don't know how she's able to leave the Jinyu Guards. Shu Jing Ran keeps getting career promotions in the capital. However, he refuses marriage arrangements, nor does he take concubines. Rumors have it that he's either impotent or gay. Until much later (I assume years), he gets a letter from Yun Yi saying that she'll bring back Lingzhou roasted chicken if he likes.
Both novel and drama acknowledge their social status difference, but they don't tackle that issue, which I was curious to know how.

Regarding Yun Yi, I think her ending with Shu Jing Ran makes more sense and realistic for that time period. Most employment back then was for life, the subordinates were devoted to giving all until the end of their days. Yun Yi herself pledged to follow Jiang Xu as a Jinyu guard all her life. Remember the convo between Ming Tan and Yun Yi after Ming Tan found out that Yun Yi is her secret guard. Ming Tan says even for her maids, if they want to leave her and have a better life, she'll let them go. Then Yun Yi pledged she'll follow Ming Tan all her life. So, Jiang Xu giving Yun Yi a long-term task to accompany Shu Jing Ran to rebuild Lingzhou together makes more sense, if not, she'll never leave the Prince/Princess of Dingbei.
Shu Jing Ran might be a nerd, but sure he knows how to chase a girl and be romantic... The best of the three guys. 😂😂😂 I hope for an endgame for Miss Drumstick and Mr Flowery, because they're so cuuute! ❤️
On the beginning credits I saw three couples including the leads, are all of them he likes the girl first?
For the main couple, it goes both ways because of the marriage arrangement. They're just adjusting to marriage life and start liking each other. For the other two couples, yes, the guys like the girls first, love at first sight.
I'm glad it's on Viki. I was contemplating paying the fansub site just for one month to watch this, but too busy to watch other dramas and didn't have time to get into it. Now that it's on Viki and assumingly with a better Eng sub, I'm happy... 😊
