I thought the premise of pondering the plot is to thoroughly understand the background and personality characteristics…
I agree with some of your comment with about Xue Yao above.
But I disagree with this part "Chu Yue, you are a military/soldier's wife, I hope you have a higher level of consciousness. Your husband is not a tool for lovey dovey moment, your husband is not just a pillow. He's a real human being and a soldier, he can't have only LOVE in his life".
As I see, after Chu Yue stopped running away because she falls for Xue Yao and then confessed about her feeling to him, from while they were still married until before he married Na Xi, she tried to tolerate, understand and communicate with him by being patience and also giving him times and chances.
For example, she told him the birthstone secret at dinner in the palace (although at that times he only thinking about his brother) because she believe in him, willing to gave him second chance after she knew he used her as a bait and even asked him the reason so she can understand why he did that and also asked why did he marry Na Xi when she in jail.
At all of those moments, he responded was "I don't want to get you involve with this", "give me some time", "that's none of your business".
It's not until he sneaked into the room to confronted her about her "affair" with Xing Chen and the pregnancy that she treated him bit coldly with slapping & pushing him away. And we must remember at the time she did this, she thought he is still Na Xi's husband.
Xue Yao is a handsome guy but I wonder if he is my husband, how long can I be patience with his secretive behavior?
What I mean is I don't totally blame Xue Yao being so secretive with her before although I admit it make me frustrated. He is someone who is used to just keep everything to himself. But I wouldn't say that Chu Yue don't make effort to understand him while they were in relationship.
Right now, it only fair for him to be the first one who trying to fix their relationship.
This drama is an adaptation from Fei Wo Si Cun's novel so I expect a lot of angst LOL
Novel: Variety Flowers At Seaside Drama: Tears In Heaven
Her other novels that had been into drama's adaptation so far:
The Girl in Blue (2010) Too Late to Say I Love You (2010) Sealed with a Kiss (2011) Le Jun Kai (2013) Chronicle of Life (2016) Siege in Fog (2018) Good Bye, My Princess (2019) As Long as You Love Me (2020)
Why the rating keep decreasing huhuhu. I think it deserve at least 8.5
Because many people quite annoyed with the main male lead right now LOL. He better grovel hard to this main female lead. She seriously one of the most forgiving main female lead ever. She tried many times to communicate and be understanding in their relationship until main male lead married the foreign princess. Although the main male lead actually married the foreign princess as a ploy with the emperor, I felt our main female lead bit quite tired now with main male lead behavior, that is, jumping into conclusion easily. I felt sad when sad for her when she said she who want to elope with him before was dead.
And to be honest other than Zheng Ye Cheng & Hu Yi Xuan chemistry in this drama's romance, other parts of this drama are quite slow and draggy. I prefer romance part more other than political or others in historical dramas, that's why I will watch it until the end. But other people that want to enjoy mystery or other parts may found this drama draggy so they decreased the rating or dropped this drama.
That's ok. Everyone have their own preference. Even it has high rating if it isn't your taste you will not like it either. Even it has low rating, if you like it you will watch until the end. We can't force peoples.
DaCheng's character (Zhen Lan) is Crown Prince and Yukee (Bai Ying) is his "wife" in the novel.
Can you give a bit spoiler about Zheng Ye Cheng's character in the Mirror Twin Cities?
Is he gonna be the second male lead that change to evil character later and fight with main male lead because his wife, the main female lead like main male lead?
Or is he gonna be a selfless second male lead that protect, sacrifice himself for her and willing to let his wife, the main female lead be together with the main male lead for the sake of her hapiness?
I'm already feel like I'm gonna get second lead syndrome ughh hate it huhu
I don't know why there should be a pitting between The Sleepless Princess (TSP) and The Romance Of The Tiger And Rose (TROTAR).
The plots and descriptions of main couples characters for both dramas are different. The only similarities perhaps are both about bickering forced marriage couples with some amount of romance and comedy.
I like the sweet chemistry between main couple in the both dramas. I also like actor and actress in The Sleepless Princess just how I like the actor and actress in The Romance Of The Tiger And Rose.
Not everyone that like The Romance Of The Tiger And Rose will like The Sleepless Princess and vice versa. It called "personal preferences."
So I don't think we need to create any fanwars. Can't we just watch our favourite dramas without creating any fans war? *Sigh*
Just completed both episodes 17-18, ep. 17 whole episode expecting something bad to happen and the sequence of…
It seem the female lead already give her heart to male lead in ep 17 & 18 right?
She happy after he kissed her at the cave and being sweet towards him in the carriage after that.
But the male lead still make a gap between them. I hope he quickly open his heart fully to her so we can see their sweet moments together before he has to marry the other woman later!
Everyone seems to hate the fl but honestly, her actions did make sense. If you were in her situation, the least…
I strongly agree with your comments about the main female lead in this drama.
The male lead here, Han Shuo is actually just a fictional character that the female lead, Xiao Qian created for her drama script. Moreover, he's been described as a vicious male lead in Xiao Qian original script.
In the original script, not only Han Shuo still killed the queen of Hua Yuan's city who is the mother of original female lead, Chu Chu even after he fell in love with Chu Chu, he also poisoned Chu Chu's sister, Qian Qian on their wedding night.
It gonna be so weird if the female lead that trapped in her own script falls in love so easily with the vicious guy that tried to poisoned her on their wedding night. After that, he also ordered his servant, Bai Ji to find some way to kill her. If I am in her situation, the first thing I think about is how I'm gonna get out of this script world ASAP not how can I romancing him LMAO
By the way, my top favourite trope for romance in the novel, drama or anime is the "male lead falls in love with the female lead first" because I really love watching the way obvious head over heels male lead doing many things just to pursuing the oblivious female lead haha XD
The scriptwriter of this drama, Wong Lei Chi, also wrote:
*Scarlet Heart 1 & 2 (2011 & 2014)
*Sound of the Desert (2014)
*Dreaming Back to Qing Dynasty (2019)
So I hope the script for this drama will be good.
But I disagree with this part "Chu Yue, you are a military/soldier's wife, I hope you have a higher level of consciousness. Your husband is not a tool for lovey dovey moment, your husband is not just a pillow. He's a real human being and a soldier, he can't have only LOVE in his life".

A man drove your best friend to suicide and make her kingdom fall apart.
Then he fall in love with you and although you kind of fallen for him too, you can't forget about your revenge.
The difference with Goodbye My Princess is in that drama she died, in this drama the main male lead die LOL
I'm sure I'm gonna get the Second Lead Syndrome T-T
Is he gonna be the second male lead that change to evil character later and fight with main male lead because his wife, the main female lead like main male lead?
Or is he gonna be a selfless second male lead that protect, sacrifice himself for her and willing to let his wife, the main female lead be together with the main male lead for the sake of her hapiness?

It hard to just guess what happen without sub but I like Zheng Ye Cheng and his chemistry with Hu Yi Xuan! They are so cute!
Me: Wonder which young actors would be the male characters in her harem this time?
I'm happy that now my beloved Zhao Lu Si keep pairing with young male actors right and left hahaha Go girl!XD
