How was the novel? I mean what is the biggest difference here?
The book was good up until the second half, when the intimacy died down. After the tournament was when the book went downhill for me. Things started to make absolutely no sense. It just dragged on and on. I think the drama is good, but I’m not really into fantasy, but the visuals are just so beautiful. I think I prefer the drama more, the book had so much potential, but for me it fell through more than half way through.
They cut the kissing scene (I saw the uncut version) disappointing, probably going to cut a lot of the kissing…
You should look for kissing scenes on X, YouTube, facebook, tic tock, or red note. They really go at it. Lol too bad it’s not going to make the Final Cut because HMH goes all out.
while waiting for these episodes.. i wish someone would thrown snippets of funny/romantic scenes from the book…
I copied this from an earlier post I commented on. I busted out laughing when I read it. There’s more funny scenes it the book, but would take me forever to search because the book is kind of long.
I think their flirty banters made the book interesting, here’s a little excerpt from the book, I thought was funny , “I’m not,” Ming Yi’s eyes darted around. “This slave is… menstruating. It’s not convenient to serve my Lord.”
He made a sound of acknowledgment and calmly asked, “Does menstruation come from the mouth?”
The context was from a part where he pretended to deflower a harlot/courtesan, he made everyone believe he slept with, but his body guard/aid, who is his companion beast in the drama slept with her. MY didn’t want JBZ to touch her again because he was “unclean” to her since he “slept with” someone else.

The maid, I don’t remember him doing anything with her. I don’t really remember the maid, but the one the prince made him take home. Even then they didn’t do anything. And there was a harlot/courtesan he made everyone believe he slept with, but his body guard/aid, who is his companion beast in the drama slept with her.

He did for political reasons, but he never consummated their relationship, he was still in love with MY. He wasn’t married to MY for a long time because she kept rejecting him and he married someone else, but eventually he divorced the princess (not the same princess in the drama) and got married to MY. In the book the Tian Ji was an official’s daughter. The princess in the book was a junJiu.
Ming yi’s hairstyles r so pretty beautiful n gorgeous There was a lot of potential fr the kissing scene n didn't…
They cut the kissing scene (I saw the uncut version) disappointing, probably going to cut a lot of the kissing scenes to few seconds because I saw kissing clips and they were hot and heavy, probably to pass censorship.
Viki is so slow, how is Netflix more up to date with this one.
I was watching on Netflix, (I thought someone mentioned Netflix will not update until a certain date), but moved to YouTube on the Youku channel. At least they are up to date, except for the TVOD. It’s like $2 extra to watch the next episode, which is only on the Youku app, but not on YouTube.
Because in the book JBZ is the real crown prince (Ming Xian) JBZ was abandoned and was taken to the slave camp…
More Excerpt: This is Concubine Yan speaking.. so it was the Red veins
Seeing a flash of vulnerability in her eyes, Consort Yan suddenly seemed to gain the upper hand, raising her chin contemptuously. “If my child had innate red veins, none of this would have happened. I would have loved and cherished them. Forget poison, I wouldn’t have let even cold soup touch their lips. These are things you, traitor, will never have!”
Because in the book JBZ is the real crown prince (Ming Xian) JBZ was abandoned and was taken to the slave camp…
From what I remember he didn’t have like blue or red veins (I can’t remember what color) when he was born, but later it showed up. So she took a long distant relative’s daughter with that red or blue vein, that’s why she had to grow up as a boy.
I read this a long time ago so take it as a grain of salt and this is very different from the drama. In the novel…
I read the novel too, but I read somewhere they changed the ML to be pure, innocent, not a player like the book because of how it would be perceived in China, so they had to tone his character down.

I watch Viki for already finished dramas, they are so slow.

Amidst the discussions, Ming Li grabbed Si Hou’s wrist, asking angrily: “Ming Xian is not your biological child?”
Si Hou was extremely flustered: “She… she is also a child from my clan. The bloodline of our clan is naturally powerful.”
“Then why did you abandon your child?” Ming Li was furious. “If you can discard your flesh and blood, aren’t others even more insignificant to you?”
