You should stop watching now with this childish mindset. That’s ridiculous that you would be turned off by a man who wants to get married after his wife died.

It says he adopted her so she is an orphan then.

Come on, you’re being dramatic and misogynistic. She looks older than 17 but no one would mistake her for the brother’s mother

Does anyone know the family background of the ML? Like how prestigious his background is? They don’t mention it much.

Do you believe our era is better? The world is watching, as I type, a genocide unfolding. Literal babies being bombed. We are way worse

How is a 37 year old supposed to look like? Old and haggard? A bit weird some of the age comments acting as if she was 50.

I spilled my drink burst out laughing. I love his sarcasm and her b** face. He gets under her skin and loves her clap backs

The ML is so obvious about his attraction to the FL in a funny, twisted way. Love how he never miss a chance to comment on how angelic her face is and how the sister is jealous of her beauty.

Novel readers- could you please spoil me with some nice, romantic events happening in the book between the leads? Do they fall in love after or before marriage? Thanks :)

The tension between the leads is sooo good (and actually better than the Double which I loved).

Ok now I understand all ML's actions. He is basically vetting her and doing his own screening for his wife to be as he needs someone strong, smart and cunning who won't hurt his daughter. She is indeed the perfect candidate. He's also not threatening her but more so covering for her so that she doesn't get discovered. He already knows everything she did. He already knows he will marry her, hence being on her back.

ML is seriously hot.
I wonder if he purposely put the hairpin in her hair in front of everyone to show people that he is interested in her? I believe a man wouldn't do this to a woman he is not fond of in this era.

Hey - does anyone know if the ML has a hidden identity and is more powerful than what it seems? Thanks :)

Spot on! And him calling her ning'er when he realised her family situation to make her feel better and unique.

Hey it's been a while. Have you come across any other similar dramas I may have missed? Still trying to find something that can match this type of chemistry....but can't find any :(

Also, after watching many historical/fantasy dramas I can confidently say that the ML is the smartest and most devoted lover of them all. No one can convince me otherwise. And he is not smart in an unrealistic "I'm a genius fool" type of way. He is smart smart - as in high IQ but also very emotionally intelligent. I am really impressed at how they showcased this - he reads the room and can read her (body language, unspoken words) so well. He is also deeply flawed as he can't control his emotions but without crossing a line of no return - he is extreme but never to the point where he becomes pure evil or nasty. That is the reason why I still rooted for him despite his temper. And the reason why he is perfect for her. Only he can accept her and handle her for who she is.

Same, I'm so envious of people who are just starting. I wich I could erase my memory and watch again

Same girl, I haven't watched many dramas with this type of chemistry. It really bloew my mind. It is so rare to see such a grown way of portraying romance (and intimacy). The passion and desire between these two was soooo palpable. I keep on rewatching scenes,

Wanted to comment again to reiterate how much I adore this couple. The most recent dramas have shown (to me) how amazing their chemistry is.

Ok but why is this actually an issue? I know a few cases like this in my entourage. It's typically the opposite that is portrayed (virgin girl, experienced man) so don't understand your fake outrage.
