Yes Ii thought so, too. It was priceless and epic and awesome! I loved the scene where Empress agrees to send the Lady Ruyang to the temple....ROFL! Amd YS bristling at the gossiping court officials! Another villain getting their due. Loving this drama.

Me, too. And I love how Lusi portrays her. She totally nailed it down to the small nuances to the major actions. I still remember the horseback incident with WL . Lusi thought they were practicing and bawled like a baby while he was laughing and wiping her tears. 😄😄😄

Yes, I see your point. I guess the writer wants to generate this kind of emotion from us and they definitely succeeded. We are pulled in two directions. The mother's rationale and CSS vulnerability. I'd take CSS side! She's the heroine after all, ROFL!

Yes, I agree. As CSS said, she also has self-esteem and pride. Her mother walked all over her like she's a piece of rug. Regardless of her intentions, she ruined her daughter in front of the palace people. This will spread throughout the whole kingdom. How can CSS hold her head up after this? Even as a child, she had been bullied for being abandoned by her parents. She's well known for her poor behavior. Her mother didn't have to make it worst. Good for LBY who stood up for her.

Definitely true. She's been pampered and spoiled. In my opinion, she's the one who hasn't been educated properly. As a royal princess, she should have been taught to be benevolent and kind to the kingdom's subjects especially the heroes and their family who sacrificed so much for the peace that they take for granted. She should be a good role model! Those princesses' education are certainly lacking. I'm just glad their mothers (empress and consort) do not condone their behavior.

LOL ..... i'm also loving the emperor! But then, there are many unexpected characters in this drama. Some lovable , some annoying, some funny, some ridiculous! Which makes this drama really stand out!

ROFL ...... i loved that part, too.

I agree!

I totally agree with you. No other drama has appeal for me right now that is why, i'm here in the forum.

Team LBY! Finally, the ice is thawing! Can't wait to see some togetherness from our mainCP.

CSS was right to talk back to her mother on that issue. Whoever wants to marry her, her mother will always have doubts about her. She has trust issues with her own daughter. I'm glad CSS put her in her place when she asked if she'd have done the same if it was YY who got the proposal. You go gurl!

Agree! There are only 3 more episodes left for season 1. Why hang us in suspense????

Same here. In some ways, I understand why her mother did what she did. But she could have done it in a better way. She literally damaged and dragged CSS' reputation in the mud. She gave more fodder for those vicious royal b .....ches to bully CSS more. I feel sorry for CSS. Even her own mother didn't stand up for her. Hurray to LBY. He's the only one who stood up for her. Once again, he has encouraged and lifted CSS' in front of those people. LW and ZL were superb here!

In my opinion, the mother believes that she's doing this for her daughter's sake. In a small way, she is but she could have done it in a better way. Like her mother said, CSS doesn't know LBY's family. Her parents are scared that with their daughter's personality and temperament, she might not have a good relationship with LBY's family and possibly offend them. This might lead to the whole Cheng family's disfavor with the court since the marquis, LBY's family is close to the imperial family. But then, LBY doesn't care about his family so this issue is moot.

Yes, that was heartbreaking. In the eyes of everyone, she became a useless and unworthy woman because of her mother. That's like damaging the goods a consumer wants to buy and she has the nerve to question why CSS accepted the marriage! CSS is right. They're in a hard place and it wasn't a good idea to resist an imperial edict.

LOL ..... true and she put it inside her dress! That really cracked me up big time!

ROFL ...... that's great advice!

Those princesses are spoiled brats. They've been pampered all their life and have nothing better to do that sit and gossip and backbite.....i'm glad LBY showed them!

I stopped watching the drama the moment I read the news that they're replacing the female lead. I watched it for JSM. If she's not gonna be in season 2, no sense watching the whole drama.

Just finished ep 23-24 and just like the previous episodes, I can't help but gush again! And maybe even squeal and rant and rave. LBY finally proposed! The proposal was both funny and heartbreaking. Funny because the emperor was too eager to grant LBY's request to marry CSS inspite of her parent's hesitations. Gen Wang even kicked CSS dad on his butt to make him agree. Heartbreaking because of CSS' parents misgivings on the marriage, the mother totally humiliated CSS in front of so many people including those palace royal b.....es who bully her. My heart really breaks for CSS at this scene. How can a mother demean her daughter even if she claims it's for her own good? The royal princesses' behavior were appalling, too. They accuse CSS of being uneducated when in fact they're the ones that bully and treat her like she's not even human. In my opinion, CSS is way more human and civilised that they are. Those spoiled brats are like wild animals who behave irascibly and impulsively. To think that they're the ones who were raised and educated with the rules in the palace. I love how the script was written. Those spoiled brats always get what they deserve. Especially the Princess Yuchang who is obsessed with LBY. LOL ..... no matter what she does, LBY will never marry her. He'd rather die in the battle field than marry her. Even the emperor himself has given up on that idea but she, the delusional girl, thinks that she's way better than CSS! The cast, every single one of them, really did a great job portraying their role. One can feel love, anger, hatred, joy and other emotions watching the scenes unfold.
