The ex husband is veryy good actor actually. Love the deranged moments

In the book, she places first in all the exams. But in the book, she takes exam alone, in this they did a team up thing, so iono what twists.

Yea he did it for moving up, and the Princess is kinda jealous and crazy and has a hold over him and would force him to remove wife eventually. His mom and sister are also goading him to rid of his wife, since they never liked her, and are both thirsty to move up in society. They'd much rather be related to royalty than a no-name small town talented lady.

I edited the previous comment to add more about the emperor having few followers, so it might explain why he wants to gain royal favor as there isnt much obstruction.

He was a humble nobody in a small town, married FL for love. He scored #1 on the Imperial Exams and got a somewhat low governmental title (Scholar), but has no money/prestigious family backing, thus unable to move up in society. He caught crazy Princess's eyes, and they started an affair behind FL's back, and he's doing it with his eye on power & title of Prince Consort (princess husband). The value here is, she's the Emperor's sister, not his daughter, so it makes him akin to a "brother" to the Emperor almost. The emperor is young and has no long-time followers, except trust in Xiao Heng, the courts divided and people are power hungry and corrupted.

So Shen Yurong had to get rid of his wife without ruining his own reputation (if he divorced, it would look bad on him); in fact got a VERY good reputation as a grieving and forgiving husband.


At the part we are at, he and Princess are underground lovers as he needs to wait the appropriate period of time to "mourn".

It follows the major plot points, with some changes. I think theyre good changes, because it adds thrill, drama, and moves the plot along faster.

I just saw that it's scheduled for July 10!!

Opposite for me, because reading the novel, he is exactly as described, and I had a very hard time imagining a guy like this. You have no idea the words used to describe him, I mentioned it on here before, but things that come to mind are "temperamental beauty, wicked smile-not-a-smile, demon in red, languid postures, lazy drawls, etc". WXY brought this ML to life, and even better than I imagined. I think the slomo is not just for him, but cinematic effect, which this drama team seems to love, which teeters on the verge of excess.

Nah it'll be over quick. Not much school stuff, from what I can tell from teasers. Unless they drag it out, which I WILL HATE. The novels from this author seems to LOVE school life, but this one was quick.

I don't see from teasers they will drag, it seems to go to the exams quick after a bit of training, but the drama added some weird"team up" thing. I would guess its to push along FL with some friends (cousin, Liu Xu, and SML Ye Shi Jie). What's crazy is, in the book, YOU DONT SEE THE ML Duke Su until the exams, so the drama serves WXY but alas, still complaints.

Fun fact: all the pearls used in the drama are real

I thought of Princess Royal in Joy of Life. All these emperor's sisters :\

He was a humble nobody in a small town, married FL for love.

The value here is, she's the Emperor's sister, not his daughter, so it makes him akin to a "bro" to the Emperor almost.

It's on youtube, on Youku's channel. I don't know if any region lock, im in USA

I can't remember poisonous peony, but so many descriptions of him! "Temperamental Beauty", "enchanting demon in red", "languid postures", "moody and toxic", etc

Liu Xu is her friend! and Tong

When you see his entrance, you'll understand why we are simping so hard

The author of the story describes him that way. Wears bright red and carries a fan at all times. Very true to the novel, right up to his wicked smirk and lazy postures.

yes, same costume designer too! I saw the BTS they said its not based on any era since its entirely fictional (even the king) and so they had more creative liberties. I loooove what they did to Duke Su
