You may feel jealous of this drama's popularity, or perhaps you are hiding feelings of low self-worth or fear! Be careful with your words, as they often have a way of coming back to you. I doubt you are watching drama at all!!!

Actually, the mother does not have discerning eyes when it came to getting wives for ML
The wives Lin parents chooses were all politically linked.

I can't get past Ji'er's storyline ever since she came back into the picture. What a cruel hand she's been dealt.…
Ji'er was ambitious while working for the Lin family. She aimed to win the Master's favour, but his wife was not pleased about it. The maids had been warned to stay away from the master's courtyard, yet Ji'er took the opportunity to go over, even though LX had reminded her to stay away. I can't fault LJQ for not recognizing her with all that makeup on. I do feel sad for Ji'er though.

It wasn't the Lin family when they were slave in the Capital. They were under Lin family when they were in Jinling

the grandfather was the one who told ml not to warn the shen's.
It was the ML's father, and grandfather expressed his thoughts through eyes communication with ML.

If I were in their position, I wouldn't want to rent or have the courage to live in such a house. As FL's mother mentioned, someone may have died there, and the place could be haunted. Regarding the potted plant, selling it for 100 taels of silver makes perfect sense; I could always grow another one, right?

Spring of Blade is an idol drama, but not Against the Current. In terms of acting, definitely ATC's MLs are better. I also find ATC's storyline more engaging, and it reminded me of Story of Ming Lan.

I prefer Li Meng to be the FL, she's prettier and more attractive
I choose drama with good story and acting, not even on rating.

Yes, Li Meng is good but she doesn't have the timid look. FL has both timid and mature look which will be a better choice as the drama progresses. Also, FL (TSY) is a talented actress. Her micro expressions are undeniably good unlike a lot of idol actresses. Most of them have the same expressions and at times looked force but not TSY. Her acting is natural .... her facial expressions, her eyes .... it all speaks

Plainly viewer's preferences of ML including me. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with Scholar Han and he is not a bad guy.

Did you fast forward to watch? If you did you will miss a lot and would not understand how or why all that had happened.

With her cleverness, how is she so blind to the men's feelings?
For someone who has never been in love and not trying to gain favour just to get into a noble family again. Her mind is set to live an ordinary life with the foster parents who risked their lives and giving her the love a real parents would do.
