Oh wow its the NIF emperor - he is such a good actor!

Mingyi underestimates her yet again to think she would mistreat his concubine and is surprised and ashamed by how magnanimous and tolerant she is. Han Derang on the other hand knows her far better, he knew she wouldn't be so petty as to poison his wife. At first I was angry at Yanyan for (again) forgiving him too easily (and he didn't just wound her pride, he broke her heart for not trusting him). But on the other hand, I think it is also the ultimate slap on the face - when the wife you stole doesn't really care that much that you fell in love with someone else. I also don't fault Mingyi for the concubine, just for not coming clean about it. Its the weakness in his character he is not upfront. Although Yanyan put up a good show all those years, her poker face slipped when she rushed to rescue Han Derang while she was pregnant. I think actions speak louder than words and that is when Mingyi realizes he can will never own her heart the way Han Derang does and he seeks solace in someone else's arms.

Finally got a chance to catch up on this over the weekend. IMHO episode 40 the conversation between Mingyi and Yanyan is one of the best scenes so far:

I must say that the whole Xiyin line has got shits for brains... from father to son one generation after another. At least Yansege had a plan that could have worked. Pathetic.

That's true but what a mess it made.

Well I don't think the "aging" improved Han Derang. It just makes him look sad and middle aged. But it definitely improves Mingyi.

Mingyi looks much more likeable with the beard, it conceals his weak chin and the petulant Drop of his mouth.

To marry one of each daughter into each faction of a treacherous royal family embroiled in a nasty fight for the throne? How can they not get torn apart in this kind of struggle???

For all his supposed brilliance, what was Xiao Siwen thinking???

This person is a troll. I am blocking them.

Don't know I think just watch and see what happens... Plus its not clear that anyone has properly watched it or understands what they watched (there are no subs) so just ignore these kinds of comments for now.

Oh come on, that is a major spoiler you need to hide stuff like that.

IMHO its a shame to binge good dramas. They should be watched and enjoyed slowly. But to the fast watchers PLEASE HIDE YOUR SPOILERS. Tyvm.

In the first episode of Song of Glory I mistook her for Li Yitong.

I am just teasing you! :)

Best not subscribe to either yet - so far I haven't seen it on iQiyi (international) or Tencent Video. They may have licensed the international distribution rights to Viki in which case you best subscribe to that to watch it.

What? You don't like high pitched female voices? Faints!

All 49 episodes are out for iQiyi VIP on the domestic (Chinese) site, which I can also access with my International VIP but of course there are no subs. Only 2 episodes are out for non VIP.

I have done it before many times. Its great bc you can tell after 2x who the repeat offenders are going to be. I just unblock them after I am done watching bc there is a limit on the number of blocks. It lets you stay on the thread without getting spoiled. I hate spoilers.

This is a spoiler
