Politically, it was impossible for him to accept. She is very cunning and manipulative.

They do indeed. Brilliant casting. In fact I though Prince Wuxia was acted by Prince Wuyin actor (who was also 3rd prince in LLTG) and I was thinking - oh wow he gained some weight, looks better.And then Wuyin pops up and I rushed to check the cast list!😅😂

Yeah I also find the main wife interesting. She is at the moment smarter than the FL. And maybe even the ML. Doesn't mean she will win but I like good antagonists.

Alright let's just be clear: there is NO HAREM. The dude is literally (not) sleeping with the enemies. All his wives scheme against him for their own clan. Very dangerous.

Yeah exactly. They keep recycling the same ideas.

Tyvm - S2 is better than S1. Please enjoy!

Its realistic considering his age and status.

He probably didn't have time.

No she really didn’t! But I thought she had a soft spot for Pingan. Their flirting was ridiculous!

Well he was really a very very fat man… There is wild history he was Yang Guifei’s lover but I don’t believe that at all I think they were just eating buddies!😁😁😁

Yeah tbh Qilang's whole arc wasn't even in the original novel and is clearly not something Ma Boyong would have written.

I don't think they should have killed of the two of them. I think that was just not great writing. But if you look at the final scene, even Shande and Xiuér are not there in Zhao Xinmin's audience. The drama closed by essentially saying everyone from Changán was fictional invented by Xinmin anyway so it kind of doesn't matter that they killed them off.

Yeah the last episode included some clear storytelling fantasy/exaggerated moments to get around censorship requirements regarding distorting history. So you can just assume the fish spirit bit was Zhao Xinmin taking some literary license with his narrative.

I think that was to avoid censorship of distorting history.

Yeah unfortunately subs are only half their revenue. They have to depend on ads for the rest and the ad market in China has been dreadful for years. Its nuts - WeTV is more than Netflix if you watch express!

In case anyone was looking for An Lushan, he should be the big fat guy standing besides the emperor and consort Yang's pavilion during the litchi tasting.

It is very not cool of Tencent - they decided to try to force subscribers to buy the last episode via Express. If you don't need subtitles, you can watch the last one on iQiyi its up already but its not subbed.

Nothing - he is fine but I don’t think he got the girl.

Zhang Ping'an's ending was unnecessary. And WIERD!!!

Finished. Not bad but:
