Exactly, it was a bit ridiculous and took me out, lying inside a coffin for an entire day, and jumping perfectly like prince charming, all hair and clothes perfectly aligned lol

Right? No bath scene 😭

Open ending, Wei Rao basically became a regent

Her neffew is the new crown prince, she will keep the princes coming in check to protect Houxiao and the baby, she will be a regent like for the coming years.

I hate open endings...so basically Rao became a regent and will protect the baby until he grows up to rule. It will be long 20 years ahead, I would watch that drama with Rao and Lu Zhuo fighting the rebellious enemies and raising the prince.

Don't remind me, I dropped my rating there, making a romance drama and having a married couple behaving like weird friends or something, no skinship at all, so cold it should be called "The Frosted Jasmine"

Qi Zong Kai today complaining that Lu Zhuo was smelling like Wei Rao, wth, the worst character ever, he annoys me more than the villains, his worst moment is always the next, why is he even appearing still, just send him to the borders and have him killed in the next war, what a useless stupid character!

I don't know why people are mad that her brother took HX, I for once I'm happy that WR will finally have a family that is ready to sacrifice for her as much as she is ready for them for the first time in her life. In the past she was sacrificing while the "family" only abused her, now she has a real family and everyone is together helping each other, this will help WR heal her heart.

What? I didn't get that, rewatching asap!

It is not a competition lol

There was a "but" after she said this, she promised to never lie to him again.

At least today she showed a little bit of remorse for lying to him again.

So they shouldn't have introduced romance to the story and not market it as it.

That was relevant 10 episodes ago, now even Lu doesn't worry about him anymore, he is just roaming around being useless and saying useless stuff

I cannot stand his face anymore, his cute scenes with FL annoys me so much, I really don't understand their point with this character.

This drama went downhill, and I don't blame on the divorce arc or drop of romance only, neither on Wei Rao living her country life core. I think the writer wanted to do many things, but the drama does not have time left to develop it, it is hard to really engage on her crusade against the royals when we basically have not seen them long enough to make their fall satisfying. Most of things are going on behind the scenes, we mostly hear from them in one dialogue, interrogations, plans, everything goes on behind the scenes. If the first part of the drama felt like a vertical drama, the second part feels like a vertical drama on 2x fast. Combine this with Youku evil schedule of 1 episode per day, I lost the interest. The anticipation for next episode is really gone, we know Wei Rao is going to scheme and win against everybody, but there's no really point of watching it if it's going to be the same 5 second scenes with actors overacting as spoiled royals, not really giving enough gravity and build up. It feels flat.

It is not a must, the plot went downhill since the divorce

I didn't like episode 23, my happiness with the Empress downfall went downhill with how she treated Lu Zhuo e HX suffering.

What I'm going through this drama is a reminder for me to never watch a Youku drama airing again, it is not the first time but I keep forgetting, Youku terrible schedule always takes the fun away from me.

His family is that powerful, just that, they have the empress and the future crown prince, many ministers on their side, the Emperor can't simply kill them without a grave crime, that is when Lu and Rao enter, pinning crime over crime on them until they fall.
