The moment they met, when she was trying to get his interview, she had not lied about her parents. I believe it…
Yeah he planned everything meticulously. He shut her down every time she tried to confess her lies because from the beginning he had saved them for future blackmail material. She is nothing more than a personal puppet for him to control and he had no issue trapping her in a loveless marriage to achieve his goals. The audacity he had to assume her entire personality after reading her background and one meeting...
"Oh btw you never stood a chance - When we first met every single thing had already been planned out by me, I just let you think it was you and assumed your entire personality then and there."
"I hand picked you from many background researched candidates and knew you were a liar from the very beginning, so instead of confronting you about it, I kept them all as blackmail material for later on. That's why I shut you down every time you tried to confess the truth. Ah yes that also entitled me to trap you in a loveless marriage, you were already my puppet anyway."
"All that stuff with my mother was a test, she pretty much needed a personal maid which no upper class women would ever lower herself to do and you willingly submitted for her favor. Also others knew we manipulated you from the very beginning and were being tested like a lab rat but don't worry about all the laughing/talking that was going on behind your back."
"Quit acting like I ruined your life, look at all the gifts I gave you. As my puppet you will simply have to keep dancing whenever I tell you too and while you're at it, slap a smile on that face, we have events to attend. If you want to disobey, remember I control your entire career and have plenty of blackmail material to keep you forever as my prisoner."
This man better have the groveling of the century, no amount of sad backstory makes him forgivable at the moment.
I was actually kinda hesitant to check the MDL page after tomorrow's episode since I was so disappointed and I…
Yes I agree. There was quite a few times I was annoyed with the scenes cutting fast, especially my fav's (baby making, shirt clipping and the heat scene!!)
I still love it though and as you said its their first project so they will be able to improve with future ones.
What kind of a pathetic parasitic brother does Sheng Shao You have? Even after he saved him countless times, he…
That was the pheromone inhibitor he put on before they went inside so that the brother thought he was an omega. He knew the brother was up to something, so tricked him.

When we first met, it was only through lines and words, and none of it had anything to do with me. I thought the role was carefree, bearing loyalty to home and country yet still gentle - a character of great charm. Until fortune allowed me to truly become you. I realized: your lightness was but a mask of protection. You always seemed a little conflicted and fate gave you nothing but impossible choices.
As a child, you heard your brother say "When I grow older and inherit this land, If you are not there to ease me with your music, How could I bear it?" You believed him. You clung to him daily, practiced the zither diligently- yet in the end, why did he think you would turn against him? You never understood without the title of prince, without your father's favor, all you wanted was simple brotherly harmony.
Later you met Duan Ziang. At first you only sought to use him to balance Minister Gu. But as time passed you were drawn to him. Your brother doubted you, courtiers sought to exploit you and everyone speculated on your true nature. Only Zi Ang believed you had "A childs heart, honest in the dark" You told yourself you were only using him, yet why did you worry for his safety? Why did you abandon years of planning and risk yourself? You knew why - Zi Ang knew too...
When you saw with your own eyes the man you loved pierce your closest kin with a sword, the world became unreal. Every cruel choice fell upon you. Could you trust his words? could you trust yourself? You doubted everything except your own heart, which still loved him and yet could not. So you dared not see him again.
Imprisoned, you hid your heart. But seeing him once more, you faltered. You told yourself hatred was survival, yet why did you cry in the marketplace? Why did your chest ache at his wounds? The life of the people of Nanhui is like a knife cut on your heart, but your heart can't stop geting close to Zi Ang.
In dreams you returned to childhood, to music, wine and fleeting peace. But dreams break, and chains on your feet reminded you: you were a fallen king, you could not forget. Yes, you can't forget that you just wanted to spend your life in an ordinary way. Why does fate make you choose again and again? You hate how your love can be so impossible, but why does fate still bring you to him and take him away.
At last you said "I will use what he cherishes most- to atone to my father, my brother, my people and my love." You had seen too many die before your eyes. You drank the poison unable to bear watching Zi Ang fade away, unable to endure living in shame. It was revenge and punishment upon yourself. As Zi Ang's joy turned to fear, what did you think? of your people? Your father and brother? Perhaps of an apology
"Forgive me, Zi Ang - forgive me. I always hurt you with my sharpest words but one line was true, once more. Let us begin once more. If only- if only from the start, I had hidden myself in that pear-blossom courtyard, away from father, away from brother, away from fate itself."

I knew he was sus... but not too this extent, I can't defend him anymore.
I still love it though and as you said its their first project so they will be able to improve with future ones.
