It's really good, one of the few that manage to get me hooked from the 1st ep, just start it & see if it's up to your liking

It's only natural to be that way, FL scenes with ML so far circles around formal stuff (grannies work, political stuff etc) while with SML 3rdML is on casual stuff (their hobbies, likes), main leads chemistry will gradually develop as they get to know eachother more as a person & I find it's better/deeper this way (built mutual understanding gradually) than instant love, it's more meaningful this way.

Just watch it yourself & decide it on your own, as for me they got me hooked even from the 1st ep alone & I never trust MDL ratings esp early ep with less people rating it. For instance, I myself never rate a drama before they're ending & many watchers did the same.

There's no rebirth story in the drama

👌👌

Veil of Shadows
(my profile pic 😂)

He crossed his boundaries at ep 8 but I think the writing has been pretty consistent cause they've been hinting how he's mentally unstable since the very first ep (show no regret shooting a horse/ enjoying other fears/ held high his pride etc). I totally understand that novel readers dissapoint w/ it, but as non novel readers/ only drama watchers what they show is pretty consistent with what they've been shown so far.

I believe they'll redeem his character though (they also hint us how he's regretting what he did after).
However, this isn't the first time SML getting the short end of a stick (happens manytimes in other drama) & better doing it earlier than latter (like Ci Sha's on TRoN, cause it'll hurt more 😅) & means there's a hope for redemption arc.
I too hope he'll get a redemption arc (I believe he will).

Yes! I'm hooked since the first ep (I tried many dramas but none stay cause I can't move on from VOS, this drama is the only drama manage to make me move on from VOS cause how interesting it was)

From a young age, Third Master Chen was intelligent and sensible, treating his elder brother with respect. But his excessive maturity made Madam Chen uneasy.

Later, she happened to overhear Chen Yanyun asking his wet nurse, "...You say I'm Mother's own child, but I see she treats Second Brother best. If he has the slightest headache or fever, she gets terribly anxious, and even if he eats a little less, she fusses over him. I do everything well, yet Mother barely pays me any attention. Last time, when Second Brother's essay was praised by the tutor, she made him a cloak. When I was praised, Mother didn’t say a word..."

Her heart ached upon hearing this. The child kept everything to himself, suffering alone in silence.

From then on, she made an effort to show Chen Yanyun more affection.

But his distant nature never changed, though he remained highly independent, never giving her cause for worry.

Chen Yanyun had a natural talent for studies and passed the provincial examination at the age of fourteen. She arranged his marriage to the Eldest Miss of the Jiang family in Hangzhou, though he never said whether he liked her or not. After the wedding, the couple treated each other with mutual respect. When Jiang Shi fell ill and passed away two years ago, he kept vigil by her side for days, not even removing his outer robes. On her deathbed, Jiang Shi had said to him, "Don’t feel guilty. I know everything... I don’t blame you. I’m already on my way... You’ve treated me very well..."

It was the first time she had ever seen Chen Yanyun cry, silently holding Jiang Shi’s emaciated hand.

After the funeral, Chen Yanyun came to speak with her. He intended to observe two years of mourning for Jiang Shi.

Here, I copied a bit from chapter 185 & you'll get to see his nature, his feelings & his first marriage (I cried reading it last night eventhough I just reading it randomly start from chapter 182), ML has always been a good nature kid who bear everything alone🥲
*madam Chen is his mom

Same, #1 YY is my forever ♡ for GJC (a mature calm ML, protective yet can be intimidating when needed, he gave me both thrill & butterflies, love the way they hv their own language that no others but them can understand) & #4 is the 2nd I love the most too (his utmost care for her is genuine, their interaction warm my heart, he's a good bantering brother).
#2 his scenes are entertaining but that's it, he's like a bomb that can explode anytime & idw GJC to get anywhere near him when that happen
#3 He seems like a suitor but something in his eyes I find unsettling, I don't think he's as genuine as he might portrayed in the surface.

YY son in the novel = CXQ, in the drama they change him as his nephew (thankgoodness)

True, they're not something memorable either

Oh my, I see😂, thankss

Ahh poor YY 😢 I see the point of her reincarnation then, idw to see the mess she create in her 1st life but I take interest to see her regret & 2nd life, I may read from there then (tho idk which chapter that would be) 😂 thank youu

Ouch 💔😭
Thankss

Just out of curiousity, may I know how's her relationship with YY end on her first life? They get divorce or something? 👀

So people can't even say anything about ML styling? What I said is not even negative feedbacks, smh.
Idk if there are rules that we can only give positive feedbacks either here, lol why I'm not surprise

Good police, lmao, no, people are being weird to think they can control others what to think, do or don't.

It's their right, not us to speak, why act like somekind of a site police I don't really get it, she clearly say she's really enjoying the drama despite disliking some parts of it, it's just her preference, no need to take it personally.
