Megumi-H

My only complaint about that roof top scene was, why did the director ask ML to grab her neck…and they did that twice!!! There are more witty ways of showing ML’s frustration towards FL’s recklessness, I don’t think he intends to hurt or kill her but he is trying to warn her of the danger she is putting herself into and not discussing with her before executing them.
I also felt this plot turn was to show viewers how FL has turn from being ML’s pawn to be the chess player and controlling ML as pawn. IMO too abruptly done 😓😓😓.

Maybe ep 30🤣😅. JK!

Yeah, poor girl, I actually pity her as she is really way too simple minded.

This themes have somehow been surfacing in a couple of dramas being released. I felt it’s so painful to watch them talking about it again and again.😓

Yeah, the family plot has been moved to palace politics involving Consort Miao. This whole plot was done so fast, that we can easily missed it. The Dengs and Yao are just those who dislikes women in power and trying to overthrow Consort Miao. FL is just trying to gain her protection and taking a gamble that she will agree to help her bring down her father. It’s confusing indeed. Too many plot points on the revenge, also because FL’s father is rather scheming too.😅

Wow…ep by ep, this series never fails to surprise me. FL is all in revenge mode and turn her tables around towards ML. Can’t see this pair being any way close to being in love…feels more like to carnivore walking along the same path but anytime could bite each others throat 😓.

The costume is true to the Ming dynasty, and what HanYan wore for wedding was extravagant and elegantly beautiful.

This drama has change some elements. I will share the key points of this drama plot: in the end Hun Dun Zhu retained all her memories from Ah Zhu but is Mu XuanLing and she marries the reborn Xie Xue Chen with Zhao Ming’s memories but not Zhao Ming.
In the novel story, Mu Xuan Ling regain Ah Zhu’s memories, Zhao Ming and Xie Xue Chen merges and become the demon lord of abyss, so she marries him. Technically no difference for ML in the novel as whether it’s Zhao Ming, Xie Xuan Chen, they are all fragment of one person. And the reborn MXL accepted him as it is.

She had to sleep through worst in her younger days. Her trauma threshold and resilience is very high.

Hahah….thats what I said in the beginning about ML. Although he make clear of his intention towards FL, his behaviour is such ‘green tea’ towards her🤣😍.

Tyvm🫶🏻.

The Imperial doctor? Ah interesting, a female physician during Ming dynasty. Thanks for pointing that out.

Oh you should watch as the Mummy acted very well.;)

She is not evil, she represents the product of ignorant and lack of far sightedness, constantly trouble by societal view towards women. I find it interesting that the imperial physician is female, but it make sense as she is the pointed doctor for the Empress.

Depending on how you defined annoying. ep 17-18, has some tragic moments then ep19-21 is partnership between ML and FL, which quite fun and exciting to watch.

The Fu’s aunty conflicts on FL is probably a plot device to show how ML will stand up to protect her and that’s probably the director’s way of showing romance in protection. But I agreed with the romance tag in this drama, we haven’t really see much romance and it’s only 9 ep left😓.

This author is really focusing on the tradition women’s rights, which is a very common topic that often being brought into discussion in such drama plots, however I like how the story come together. Nicely written.

Interesting first case that the partner in crimes work together…truly can be merciless and scrupulous in method.

She has a tragic life😭.

The way the story was told, it feels like ML married his first wife out of family obligation and he doesn’t have much love. With his second marriage, I am excited to see how this two fall in love.
