I had the same problem when I first watched it, there are lots of dialogues that I have to pause to read lol. Didn't stop me from watching this drama without any skipping though. For some people the drama picked-up around ep 10 and fl became more mature after she went for training by herself.

Since I like this more than yanxi palace and do see the similarity between both fl. In my opinion both of the fl have very strong personality and are not sway by emotion. They have their own goal, the fl in this at first want to get marry to ml, but once she enter the palace and trap there, she chooses to make the best of her situation as a result she kept rising in rank, her way is to always do the right thing and in turn she gain lots of friends and allies. I agree she's a responsible person, if she only care about herself, she wouldn't feel so guilty about leaving the palace. This drama also depicts many side characters living outside the palace and that what I like about it compare to yanxi palace. Ml is a general so we get to see him in battle and using strategies to win, really loving that too ^^

I hope for this drama they'll have good sub and we don't have to wait too long for the sub.

He's afraid if she has her memory she will make the same sacrifice again as befits the chief god. He wants her to break off with him completely, by making her think he has change and not the guy she fell in love with. We can speculate he never meant for her to get back her memory of him, so she could move on and live a completely independent life with their son once he's gone.

I disagree with u. Fl in this drama does have a goal, she wants to do her part and contribute to her country by preventing wrongs done by the more powerful. Even when she left the palace with ml, she was thinking of ways to persuade him to comeback because of her duty to the queen. That was one of the major reason that cause a misunderstanding between them, and in my opinion fl loves ml but she consider her duty to her country more importance than him, and that's why ml and fl could only be together in the end when she finished her duty to the queen and king.

About fuheng and er qing, she knew he was in love with someone else, and she set ying luo to get caught by the emperor forcing fuheng hand, so I don't feel any sympathy for her. Also fuheng told her to give him time, so I guess her love for him is not very strong, it was only a year and she already reveal her true color. The emperor has many wives not just the empress, the blame goes to him when they turned bad since like I said how you blame fuheng to er qing turning bad. In my opinion you can still have a good marriage without love, women are practical creatures, in that time period what matter for a woman is survival. Ying luo is smart so I see her as someone who could give up love for survival, since she's a strong woman, and she knew what she has to do to get the emperor's love.

It's not a waste of time if you actually care about the topic. Maybe you're just more into romance since you like you are my glory. That drama has good rating due to the two main leads romance I suppose, I went to that page and read some comments there and someone was suggesting to skip all the boring parts to get to the main leads romance, and even tell the people there to rate it high to offset all the negative reviews lol 😆

Agree, the viewers care more for look than acting as a result many dramas are made with a poor script and bad direction since it's purpose is just to showcase good looking people.

Yes, he has really pretty eyes color, I notice in all the dramas I watched of him, so they're definitely natural ^^

Gujun was able to revive with the help of baijue's power in the end. And this is what I heard about yuemi from those who read novel, she has a separate novel written about her.

I really like xukai character in fiys, and I think his acting is good there. Beside the fl whom I think could do better in romantic scene, I think everyone else was playing their part well.

Is mangotv a good website to watch for international fans? Do they have good English sub?

Glad you enjoy it ^^

I asked since most people who watched this say the plot picked up in around ep 10 or so and the fl became more mature. Anyway this happens to most long running drama, this drama is not that long in my opinion compare to other dramas I watch though, and I enjoy it from the very beginning.

If I'm in the mood, thanks for your rec, xanxia is not my favorite genre. My favorite is wuxia actually, so I might be more interest in word of honor if it's as good as people claim.

And here I thought word of honor is wuxia. Xanxia is about god/demon and the heavenly realm etc. In my opinion I like ancient love poetry better than ashes of love. My criteria for what makes a good drama is has to have plots and has strong females. In this drama I really love most of the females on here from main to support. Even wuhuan is a bad girl I find her character development believable. Also the main leads have their own responsibility rather than only care about love I like that much better than in ashes of love. Haven't seen love and redemption, since the reason I started watching this drama is for xukai and it turn out to be the best drama I ever seen.

Thanks for the answer ^^

I hope there will more photos leaks of the casts in costume.

There are bromance and sismance ^^

Hating the emperor is a thing lol, and I think he is handsome. He was the one that pushed fuheng to married er qing causing both of them to be unhappy. Er qing was always jealous and her treatment of one of his maid causes him to turn against her. Their marriage was doom from the start since she used trick to push him to marry her. Like you blame fuheng for how er qing turned bad, I blame the emperor for how some of his wives turn bad. Having too many wives is a problem for sure, but the way they turn on each other stem from their jealousy, and this could've been prevented if he has been more affectionate to them. I admire wei ying luo and in my opinion she is a very strong woman and know to play the game making the emperor interest in her while not showing her true feeling. Just like how she said to the second empress the one to declare her feeling first is the loser, I don't think she truly loves him if she always on her guard, because she knows her livelihood is on the line and the emperor will lose interest if she gave him her heart. She wouldn't fall like the first and second empress did. While with fuheng she gave up her feeling for him when he got married, but I think she never gotten over that feeling and her promise to him is what she feel in her heart but can't express out loud since it's forbidden.
