Feng and that obsessed "Crown Princess" are both hellbent on killing Ruochen. They should be a couple.

Yin Feng acts like an infantile villain. He is bipolar, self-righteous, delusional. He is trying to make Ruochen the bad guy, and himself the good guy. He claims he is killing Ruochen for the gods, then turns around and forces Qing's hand to kill Ruochen. He is overjoyed that she agrees to return with him, to be his love slave. He gets the Most Mood Swings in one Scene Award in the fight scene in episode 18.

Mr Gu's reaction to the name is because he knows Luo's real identity...ie. the bastard son of his brother-in-law, who he was sheltering when the boy was a child. He never wanted his own son to be associated with the boy, because of the birth secret.

To confirm, Jiang He is Mrs Gu's brother?

When we delve into Luo Zi Zhang's pathetic childhood, you begin to feel sorry for him as a child and as an adult. You can grasp his motivation for eradicating the rich merchants, snd wanting to become the richest man in the county. He believed that Mr Gu was his father because he was the only man whom he saw talking to his mother. When he questioned the mother, she looked guilty, and told her to shut up. LOL Grandfather knew the biological father's identity and was ashamed of his grandson's illegitimacy.

Mr Gu might have given her money to feed herself and the child. Mrs Gu would be the only one to confirm those facts, but we haven't seen her or Yuru's mother in three to five years.

In episode 36, Jiang He mentions the mother's name, Luo Yishui. He also says that she was ruined by a ruffian, and it has pierced his heart for 20 years. If he is referring to the seduction, leading to Luo's birth, then he is only 19 now. The writer is bad with math.

Luo Zi Shang might have declared his name was Luo after Grandfather and Mother died. No one was alive to rebut the lie.

I remember that scene. Perhaps he was nameless, being a bastard child. Mother should have given him A name, regardless. Did she marry someone who adopted him and gave him the name of Luo Zi Shang, or did he make it up?

When the drama started, I didn't think I would get beyond ten episodes. I went back to it after reading the comments, and I don’t regret it. At the thirty-six episodes mark, 5,596 comments is a testament to the drama production.

He is too cowardly to admit to Luo that he dumped the mother and child for greater ambition. Also, the plot is too far gone for Jiang He to ask for redemption. Luo went on a path of destruction, that Jiang He has to dissociate himself from.

If the two men didn't pick up on the hint that they are father and son, they are beyond stupid.

The story about Young Yuru and Young Luo is so sad. Normally, this trope is used in dramas, to establish that the characters are fated to be together as adults. No wonder, Luo is fixated on Yuru. 🤣🤣🤣 Just like Princess is fixated on Jiusi for two decades. Someone said they played together as little children. 😆😆😆

Like father, like son! In a conversation between Jiang and Luo, Jiang He said, "We are very alike" , or something to that effect. It flew right over Luo's head... and Jiang He's. If neither man understood the hint, they are both daft. 🤣🤣🤣

I have been complaining to friends about loud singing drowning the characters' dialog and loud BGM in C-dramas for four years. I have been watching C-dramas since 2016. I might not have noticed it in the beginning.

Loud singing overlaying the characters' dialog has been happening in K-dramas for a long time. I started watching K-dramas in 2005.

It felt as if I was watching a musical concert, and nobody was actually singing in the drama. 😏

I watch 98% C-dramas and 2% K-dramas, btw.

Yes! I get that something went wrong popup many times. It started in the last month.

Hello, All!

I noticed that when I type a comment, it is posting a duplicate. Has this happened to anyone else? If I see the duplicate, I am deleting it... so annoying.

Sorry, if I already posted this comment. I am juggling comments between MDL and dramacool, and wanted to share this one.

We might be hoping that Mr Gu is alive since we never saw the body. I can't imagine that Luo would have any sentimental attachment to Mr Gu, who he thinks is his deadbeat father. If Mr Gu is still alive, Luo would have tortured him every day, for five years, just for the heck of it. He is planning to kill Jiusi, so the ultimate revenge would be to unite Jiusi with his wretched father, and kill them together. The man who annihilated the merchant industry might be insane to do so, but Luo has not displayed insanity yet.

Yes! If a song is playing during the credits, they should sub it. I think it would have more impact than juggling song and dialog, which they have to attempt to sync up. They translate it one time only, and it can play forty times (... or the total number of episodes).

The editor or the music supervisor seems to place the same song anywhere he wants, and the lyrics or tempo might not always fit the moment. I think the director has moved on, so no one is supervising them. I hate when they turn up the BGM when people are having a conversation.

Yes! When they comingle the subs of the dialog and song, you don't really know who's saying what. The songs are very pretty, but they are senseless when someone is talking.

Considering Jiusi thought Yuru was dead for three years, shouldn't he have been screaming, crying, fainted when he saw her?

Does this mean that Emperor Fan Xuan's reign lasted five years? Is that a record? If his dynasty ends with Fan Yu's demise, will the Zhou dynasty have a different name, or keep Da Xia?

😆 😅 😂 🤣

Like you, I delved into the drama because of Liu Xue Yi, even though he was not the main ML. I also knew Bai Jing Ting and Song Yi. I have seen more vile, despicable villains in costume dramas that I hated every time they had screen time, and wanted to slap their heads. I see Luo Zi Shang as a manipulator and a mastermind.
