Yes! Hou Ming Hao's star has been rising, and the production companies are headhunting. I am here for Hou, but Lu Jiang Lai's flip flopping makes me 🙄. When you gauge the two characters against other C-drama characters, Shan Bao was written as the male lead, and Jiang Li was written as the female lead. This might have been intentional.

I am watching episode 34. The vipers are everywhere. The Xue clan is as bad as, or worse than the Rong Clan. That Madame Chang is a b>_"@. The writer wanted us to feel sorry for her. I think the two writers are sadists, or had a torturous life, to write such animosity and bitterness.

What is Lu Jiang Lai's age? He has two personas; sometimes mature, sometimes needy. Shan Bao is the real star of the story. She is driving the plot forward. As much as I did not warm up to Shan Bao, I see her wisdom and strength. Gulnezer should have received top billing for her contribution to the drama.

I was referring to Granny Rong.

Obviously, she has the worst taste in men. She selected Yan Bai Luo, the way she picked her many husbands.

He changed character overnight. I guess that his mind starts wandering when he is not working on a case.

Old Granny is back to her tyranny. I foresee that all the Rong women will have redemption. No one pays for the crimes.

Was Shan Bao planning to expose Yan Bai Luo before the final wedding rites? It appears that she suspected him all along. If Lu Jiang Li did not show up with the real Yan Bai Luo, what was she planning to do?

Shan Bao wasn't shy.

He gave the best acting performance in the drama. The makeup was incredible. Those Rong women are snobs. Cousin made a remark that showed her disdain for disabled persons.

Miss Xu is clingy. She made up her mind to marry Lord Lu, when he has never shown any romantic interest in her. Is there no printed alphabet that the beggar can pick out the letters of his name?

Bai Ying Sheng wins the Widest Range of Acting Award. He had me fooled.

I stopped paying attention to Bai, and he vanished. He came back a dozen episodes later with a scheme to take Yun Yin to the Capital. Now, he's playing the vaillain. 😆😆

I am not sure, but it might have been around episode 12.

If he remains lowkey, he should end up with the cousin, who is nice, when she does not chatter.

So, I was right at at the start. 😆😆 Someone said he wasn't a prince in the first days of comments. It seemed odd that he fell off the cliff, and no one was looking for him.

😆😆😆

LOL! You described it aptly.

Old Granny battle axe (...as my Mom would say) has to die, to start ending the cycle.

I noticed that as well. I think it is the actor's method acting skills, but also the persona of Shan Bao.
