All I'm going to say is make it to episode 9, and if you still hate it after that episode, you might as well drop it.

he was suspicious very early but her completely found out around episode 10 to 12

😂😂

Point me to where I said that; all I said was that her current situation is a better place because the other outcomes are much worse. She cannot get a divorce, and the only other option is for one of the two to die, and she would much prefer a life with him alive than having to live in mourning.

Death would not save her; she would still have to live with his parents and family for the rest of her life, and being childless, she would have no power in that house. With no freedom to ever really see her family or leave the home, and having to constantly wear mourning clothes and not make her presence known at special occasions, she would be worse off than she is now.

Getting proposed to at your own wedding is crazy.😂

At this point, I am convinced only some of us watch dramas and try to understand the historical context of the plot; because if you watch enough historical or costume dramas, you get an understanding of the dos and don'ts of that time and even understand why characters act the way they do. I'm glad you explained it this way, too, because even if something happened to him, she would need to live with her in-laws and serve his parents. This is the better of the two because at least we know he will protect her.

What exactly is he supposed to do, go and ask the emperor to take back his word? The emperor's word is his bond, and he can never take it back. Who is going to follow a ruler who cannot make decisions? So JQ cannot just go and ask for a divorce or separation from LX. This is much more complicated than a normal marriage.

Oh wait till you hear what punishments a child could get for reporting a parent or a slave reporting a master. In some cases you can get beat to death.🫣 Even severe cases like serial assault.

it's already on the list 😄

I'll have to check it out

yeah precisely but mostly because when one person gets ruin it affects the family too

I love when persons bring up minglan 😇😁. Also is sword and brocade really good ?

Say it again 👏 cause I don't think all of us are watchin the same drama.

The episode is not out yet, but LQ did help the deposed crown prince in his escape.

Well, for one, I don't think the writers would omit a conversation of such importance from the script; we would have gotten a scene of LX deliberating the pros and cons of said engagement, etc. So no, I don't believe she knew about the engagement.

This is based on what we want to believe, not what was stated in the episodes.

When did Han give her a heads-up? I have no knowledge of that happening. When they came for the betrothal, she wasn't even outside. What if her parents accepted and then she said no? From my knowledge, even a broken engagement can ruin the reputation of a woman in these times. I'm not saying he's a bad man; what I'm saying is he's not innocent either. He knew she had no feelings for him but still decided to go ahead instead of courting her. Though the methods they used were different, it is one and the same because neither of them consulted LX.

Yeah it just sad that her family ruined her. They ruined her trust and took so much from her.

Exactly, they both just used the resources at hand to get what they want.
