Mstique

Sure the fl is cute, but I find this whole scene weird. lol

Thanks for taking the time to comment and explain. While I understand the situation, I still find the whole exchange between them at ep 19 to be weak. They are supposedly intelligent and analytical people and when someone (fl) throw accusations at you, you (sml, who is supposedly very smart) address them and try to
make sense as to why she thinks that and explain your side/pov, especially when you have your suspicions that she may well be your mai mai. You don’t just respond to accusations with “impossible”; “she’s alive,” without addressing the elephant in the room!

Also, the fl spent time with the sml and she may have liked him at some point so why would she readily believe the fiancé? wouldn’t she be curious as to his motive for wanting her dead? why believe the fiancé over someone you interacted with and liked? why not take a step back and analyze the situation as the math don’t add up? For instance, why is he looking for his Mei Mei that he tried to kill her? why is he reacting this way today?

I find their whole interaction frustrating and contradictory. I don’t even care about this plotline anymore as a simple talk and them asking the right questions could have clear the misunderstandings. I guess, the writers want to drag this further. I am starting to dislike their interactions more and more.

I was referring to the exchange between the fl and the sml. She told him that he killed his mei mei and all he kept saying was “impossible”…no explanation given, no questions asked as to why she thinks that…they are both smart so I felt that exchange weak

What exactly is the “testimony”? I missed a few things

I think I am going to start to skip their “little moments” like at ep 19 when she’s drunk. I find that scene weird and I am over the sibling relationship. They need to move things along

I find the whole exchange bizarre. No one important question asked. Right, he didn’t even care until he finds out it’s her. Smh

😂

Oh snap, I posted my comment in the wrong drama!!!!! My comment was for the Rise of Ning.

Opps lol

Ep 19: I am so confused…isn’t the fl Mei Mei or is her maid Mei Mei? Why is she saying to the marquis that he killed her maid, and he keeps replying « impossible »? Why doesn’t he explain himself or even ask her why she thinks he killed her? The whole exchange was bizarre …did I miss something??

Prepare to be frustrated

Hey, you like what you like lol

Ep 19: I am so confused…isn’t the fl Mei Mei or is her maid Mei Mei? Why is she saying to the marquis that he killed her maid, and he keeps replying « impossible »? Why doesn’t he explain himself or even ask her why she thinks he killed her? The whole exchange was bizarre …did I miss something??

I was under the impression that the fl is mei mei. She either invented that name or just her maid’s name.

Ep 18: why do I feel like Chengwen who just returned is about to take a concubine.

Wait, he actually watched her fall? I am very confused. I thought she has imagine it as we do not yet know what truly happened …I may hav miss something

The truth of the fl’s birth was revealed fairly early in the novel in order to move the story along, even if the novel was moving at a slower pace they knew they needed to put an end to that sibling relationship. Why drag it in the drama? The fl still does not know based on preview 22 of 40 episodes. That leaves us with only 18 episodes for the truth to be revealed. I feel that a lot of the events in the novel - which are part of their relationship transition - will not take place. I hope they won’t do a 180 turn on us and turn the relationship around immediately when the truth is revealed. I can understand the ml’s feelings because he knows the truth but the fl truly sees him as a her third gege. Looking forward to seeing how they will make it work

Thanks for the info. My knowledge of Chinese history and fashion has exceed a lot since yesterday, lol, I can now tell the difference between the dynasties through fashion. Thanks to the internet!

it was more a thought then something that happened in the drama. The dad is awful to his son (ml)

Fairly early - she finds out at chapter 72 of 196. The duke also comes to take her in the same chapter. The romance don’t kickstart right away because she’s very young in the novel and a lot of things need to happen first. For example, the fl has to leave the Luo family, move in with her real family. The ml has to do a lot of scheming to marry her, and even then the romance does not start because she is still young and see him as her third brother for a good while thinking he married her to protect her. The drama is loosely following the novel so romance may kickstart earlier as the novel is moving at a different and slower pace.

Thanks for the explanation- I think I’ll read more about the history of China to get a better understanding of time periods. The description you provided is helpful.
