It's 4am for me, should go to bed but saw this and i'm going to go for it until i fall asleep, lol.

Agree and I think they're bringing him back for season2. I hope so anyway. He doesn't always agree with the ML but he does support him - more like equals than sidekick as you mentioned.

The comments section went from a good number of antis to a lot of new people having long dialogues here; thus, this is definitely picking up fast. Unlike Ni Chang, which was good, but didn't have as much mystery and action as this one, this series is picking up steam fast and not boring thus far. Give it a chance if you have time but, in the end, it may not be your cup of tea.

The ML previously said every honest court official that has any decency left is behind him and then behind the ML's subordinate who was directed to help the ML may be: I think he might have been directed by the crown prince to help as the ML was mentored by the former brocade officer who was murdered and the former brocade officer was the unnamed teacher of the crown prince and the Commander of the Royal Guards. Looks like he went undercover under an assumed name to figure out what was happening in the silk/brocade business but ended up being the second brocade officer to be murdered.

I may be wrong; however, I think he might have been directed by the crown prince to help as the ML was mentored by the former brocade officer who was murdered and the former brocade officer was the unnamed teacher of the crown prince and the Commander of the Royal Guards. Looks like he went undercover under an assumed name to figure out what was happening in the silk/brocade business but ended up being the second brocade officer to be murdered.

Didn't realize she had so many antis. I'm enjoying the series.

Glad to hear it's doing well on other rating boards. Thanks for the info.

It's interesting that this is rated lower than Different Princess with Ireine Song, which I'm watching at the same time. This is a higher quality production. Both stories are interesting. The criticism of Tan's physical looks and constant negative feedback seems like trolling on this page.

Not sure why you go on about Zhao Liying on repeat in so many comment sections; however, I doubt Lusi wants to be Liying, who at 37 is aging out of the young romance costume dramas that Lusi is doing in her mid 20's. Liying will start to play more mature roles shortly, the way that Yang Mi is currently doing in This Thriving Land. How much longer can you carry on this repeat thread of yours?

Yes, sometimes the comments are fun to watch or you can make your own comments too.

Agree, that beating was hard to watch. I thought the Dad was going to die at that point protecting her.

Loved him there but he didn't have a lot of screen time compared to the others. Hope he has a bigger presence in S2.

It's on Viki too if you like watching all the comments user put up in the left corner while each episode is playing.

Yes, true, but I think it sets her up for a better life. The sad part is about the Dad, hope he's ok.

Agree, I also think this is his best role to date.

Thankfully, he's still young enough to hopefully get some lead roles in bigger, full length productions.

You have a point. I only watch the costume drams so didn't see him in that one.

I always wondered if, outside of Neo's pretty-boy roles, like A Girl Like Me, Neo could truly act. He just proved it with this role. He was soulful, showed the misery and frustration of his predicament while still retaining his kindness. When he lost control, his heartless actions were brutal. I was here mostly for Zou as Fei; however, all of the actors cast in this production were stellar in their roles.

No, he could not. She was a chattel slave, bought and owned by that family. He would have been brought before the legal jurisdiction of the time had he tried to intervene and had no legal standing whatsoever. This story's theme is all about legalities and her use of them to help people. Don't let the first episode turn you off of the story.

Crap like this happens all the time. When crazy stuff happened to Zhang Zhehan, his fans continue to support him in his new endeavors. At least she wasn't cancelled.
