Sorry, I asked the questions wrongly. I knew that he learned about his mother's death in the beginning but I assumed, wrongly, that the memories were wiped out. (I'm watching Director's Cut.) So, he has just forgotten F/L, whilst she has forgotten, M/L, her teacher (2M/L), and the fact that her family was all but wiped out. b) I am now on ep. 23 and nothing has been said to show that he knows. I'll just have to wait and see (sigh). Thank you.
I am not a fan of Xianxia. I have fully watched a couple of older ones but have dropped many others. Starry Love was a pleasant suprise. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope that you do too. No angst. (I'm a binge watcher, too.)
Did he actually r*pe her??? When she regained the memories and was in the garden and told him she hated him.I…
Just to give you some perspective, (I used to work for Womens' Aid) it was legal to rape your wife in most US states until the mid -70s; in the UK until 2003 (1991, in one case); and in China, marital rape is not classed as a civil or criminal offence - but there have been some exceptions. In a recent poll, 22% of Chinese men believed that they could (or should be allowed to?) have non-consensual sex with their wives.
This is just a thought, but have you looked on Dramanice? I haven't looked myself, as I am watching it on Viki. Sometimes, (I don't know how often) auto subbed versions are later substituted with manually subbed versions. (P.S. Do I need to warn you not to click on any notifications or adverts, etc., on that site?)

a) After returning to the palace, the 5th prince is shown being loving and attentive towards his 'mother'. In what episode do we see that he 'knows' that his 'mother' killed his real mother - either by remembering, or by having been told by 2nd M/L's grandfather?
b) When (if at all) does he discover the truth about his older brother's death?
I , too, avoided watching this drama for years (see Lotus; Rina; below) but having seen CXX in other dramas, I thought that I would watch it. Also, I watched the ending first, which I tend to do before deciding to watch a tragedy. I have just finished episode 18, and I have a couple of questions which I have marked as a spoiler, below.
Exactly my thoughts. But I hung them out the window :)As far as I know, no they weren't told they had to survive…
Good question! That's why I said that I don't take these things seriously. They will survive because the silly screenwriter / director probably didn't think of that. May be we will be given a reason for it later. But if the F/L was not made to be in the Immortal Realm, why did the 'Bridge of (whatever it is called)' show that she and the M/L were fated to be together?
I was once a proofreader / copyeditor, and I can tell you that, in general, fan fiction and scripts adapted by screenwriters of budget dramas are usually both contradictory and illogical - not suprising given that some scripts are written the night before filming - and they are seldom checked for continuity errors, and the like.
To all Xianxia aficionados: Setting aside that this is just an enjoyable fantasy romp and is not (to my mind) to be taken seriously, could anybody answer the following?
As a human, was the princess (regardless of who actually went to the Immortal Realm) expected to survive on air - or would her body have been modified in some way to enable her to live without food? Also, as humans, would the sisters have lived the lifespan of a human, or would one have been expected at some point to become immortal, and the other a demon? Is there a precedent in Xanxia Lore for this - or was it just invented for this particular drama?
I know that in some Wuxia / Xanxia dramas, the masters with a high level of cultivation might live on air, but these were young women who had just left the palace. Also, the princess who was supposed to marry the Empyrean had very little cultivation / magic skills, if any.
