Does anyone know if it will air on viki just as quickly as on WeTV?

Not true!

I thought that the tender hand-wrapping must have reminded her of how he ‘lovingly’ kept feeding her poison in the last life. How mistaken she was in him, how false he was then. How trustworthy is he now? How much was affection, how much was fake? I think these kinds of painful thoughts must have gone through her mind. I would have looked spaced out, as well.

No, I’ve heard they’ll say that the past life they remember, where things went wrong, was just a prophetic dream allowing them to make better choices in real life. But it’s also possible that they simply got away with the disclaimer they showed in the first episode, that this is just a story and has nothing to do with real life.

Me too! So fun and beautiful!

Here it’s a balanced mix: she’s smart but a weak princess who can’t fight physically. She needs pampering and protection, but is courageous and a skilled politician.

Blossoms in Adversity also has this open communication, it’s a really nice recent development!

They never really got close in the previous life and he always had feelings for her. Now he wants to protect her and knows that all the other choices for husband would lead to her downfall. Plus he is a meddler who always thinks he knows best!

I think it was different in various different dynasties - 2000 years is a long time, rules and customs changed around a lot.

They die in the first episode and both wake back up into their younger selves at age 18, before getting married.

Me too! The only thing changed is that they’ve made both a little more charming and likable, which is perfect. 🤩

And yet she travels with only one hardly filled piece of cloth! Where is it all coming from?

Who doesn’t love beautiful men with gorgeous hand fans? I especially like it when the fans are secret weapons.

If I was her, I would consider the shovel to the head my divorce and be forever done with that marriage, no need for papers to prove it!

I was the same, I avoided Yanxi Palace for so long due to usually disliking palace intrigue and Qing dynasty in particular. But when I decided to give it a try last week I realized how utterly wrong I had been! I was glued to the screen, every single character has AMAZING depth, even the villains - you completely understand all of their actions. The script is so smart and there’s not a single boring moment. Do watch it as soon as you possibly can, you won’t regret it.

They kiss in the trailer, so I think there will be romance, as well.

You need to rate each episode (click on “write a review” and rate, no need to add words) to increase the overall rating, it really helps!

Use Microsoft’s Edge browser which can auto-translate Chinese subtitles. Then search for the Chinese title - 美人谋 - on bilibili (Chinese youtube). When you activate subtitles on the videos you find there, they’ll be translated into acceptable eng subs for you.

Yes, me too! The characters in here are more engaging. In Fox Spirit, everyone is so perfect but I also somehow don’t care at all what happens.

I want to know, as well!
