😁😁😁I really appreciate the detailed explanation about the emperor. The whole story revolves around him. As you said, I wished they let us know the reason for his madness in killing all his siblings and causing his mother to be so sad.

It is just as the saying goes, the evil men do live after them. Because of the relationship he had with his sons, the first one put a needle in his head to kill him, but he was saved. The second was lied to for him to kill his father. Everyone wanted him dead. The youngest prince refused to go back with him when he discovered there was a better way of living outside, where there was love and affection. The bad father scarred the little one for refusing to return with him. There is a special place in hell for fathers like him😊😊😊

Of course, he did his job exceptionally well. He was meant to portray a despicable emperor, father, and son, and he perfected the role brilliantly.

It was such a beautiful drama. The cast did an exceptional job. I especially like the life lessons of this drama, which tell the viewers that when life happens, one doesn't quit but makes lemonade from lemons. No matter the situation, taking one step at a time or a day at a time is all one needs to do to survive the hard time.

I agree with you, except for the part you said the emperor was great. How do you define "great? To me, he's a paranoid sadist. He killed all his siblings because he was the emperor, and his two oldest sons also died because they wanted to overthrow him. If he's a good father, would his sons have done that? Do you remember the scene when the empress dowager went to the funeral of Madam Hua? If you can recall what she said when she saw all the wives and children of her best friend. She saw a beautiful family compared to her family. If the emperor had survived, did you think Yanxi and Zhi would be married or the Hua men would be back from exile? He was a terrible human, in my opinion.

That's what I thought too.

I so wished Yanxi had let the lunatic die with the needle in his head. Unfortunately, his lunatic first prince would have inherited the throne, and the killing and hurting of the others would have continued. It's so sad that Yanxi cannot run away from him, or he will destroy everything Yanxi loves.

I think the story is going in a totally different direction, which is really not a bad thing. However, it is a sudden change or twist in the plot with no foundation. Why was there a sudden scarcity of food? We only know that Rong married a family in Jinyang (I can't remember the name well). Perhaps subsequent episodes will provide more insight.

Thanks pal!

The emperor is just a pathetic old man. Remember what the empress dowager said that year? She lost three children and two grandchildren, and these deaths are associated with this sadist man.
I knew he was going to break up Zhi and Yanxi. He's a very stupid man because he thought he could always control Yanxi to do his bidding. Now, because of him, Yanxi is no longer with someone who truly makes him happy. Yanxi can turn to someone entirely different from the young man he knows, and that is not good.
The couple is hurting badly right now because of a pathetic fool who thought that the girl had more influence on his nephew than him. What a lunatic!

Do you have the link?

We'll see.

True, it doesn't justify her behavior, but what can we do? There are parents like that, and the kids can't disown them.

There is a saying that the angel that gives children is blind. Sometimes, I believe that saying because you will see teenagers who have no business being parents get pregnant while adults who have everything to support a family are childless—the wonders of life.

I think ep. 28 gave a better explanation of why the mom is how she is. The reconciliation scene helped us to understand how the mom's childhood trauma led to why she over-exert herself over her daughter today. In the previous generations' defense, I think they don't want their children to go through hardship as they did. So they feel they must take any opportunity to have a better life. Unfortunately, the younger generation has a different mindset and values, such as in the matters of marriage and children. The older generation thinks that a 30-year-old woman must be married with children based on the previous generation's values. However, marriage and children are the least important priorities of the younger generations. The younger generations are more career-minded. They fulfill their dreams and make a name for themselves. They deemed marriage and children as responsibilities they weren't ready for.

You know, even in real life, the creator always shows mercy. Kids can't choose their parents, and because it's not the child's fault for ending up with a lousy parent, some are given a comforter outside of their parents.

You can sign in. It is better for you because it helps keep track of the dramas you are watching.

Grandma was all about the big picture. She knew even though he had the capabilities to be successful in his career, he needed a better future.

Thank goodness for Grandma😁😁😁
