Great! I'll marathon it once it's finished. Also many thanks for subbing this!

how's the second season guys? is it able to maintain the fun of the first season?

Seems like it. I think they'll change her character to be some sort of FL's best friend/rival (cause she kinda has crush on ML in the beginning) or something bigger than the actual character in the novel.
I wonder if we should create a separate thread in the discussion section about the novel. It just seems like they're going to change quite a few things from the novel.

CHS is not going to be paired up with LLZ. His character is the FL's past lover and later he got married with someone else. LLZ's character wasn't supposed to have that many portions in the book and she wasn't coupled with anyone iirc.

Iirc, this also happened during his previous drama, MJTY, where his character development was severely neglected. If this happen again in the future then somebody in the industry must really have beef with him/his team lol.

So i've just finished ep 34 but after reading all the comments I suddenly don't feel like watching the rest lol. It did not quite deliver the things that got me excited from reading the novel. Oh well. might just wait for the bonus episode just to see some cute moments, I guess.

lol glad i decided to wait until ep 24 got unlocked for regular vip users

Okay, thanks for the rec!

I just found out about it when i checked my wetv app today and wondering whether it's good. Now I'm wondering if it's stress-free enough to watch while it's on going, or should I just wait until it's all finished.

i was wondering about that too. how unpopular is this that no one bother to share the express package lol.

whew, better skip this one then, i guess. thanks for the info!

Final answer would be, why would I have the answer to this question XD. I am not the creator of this story so I have no power over whichever direction this story decides to take itself. I am not here to advocate any kinds of behavior, whether it's good or bad, from the characters. I am simply dicussing my own take and understanding of the story, which I enjoy. Whether or not you agree it's not my concern. You can perhaps discuss this with the original author if you can reach them. But arguing with fellow viewers about the ethics of the story in this comment section is a moot point. If you feel like it's your personal mission to educate people then, fair, i guess, but I'm sorry maybe this is not quite the right platform for that.

True. Some people really need to go outside and touch some grass XD

Wait, uh, are we talking about the same thing? Because I'm not sure we are...
Oh you mean whether the princess actually sleep with sy rongqing? I'm halfway into the book but, so far, no. There was no mention as far as i remember about sexual activities. Aside from the fact that srq was castrated, as far as i understand, he was more like an extremely close attendant. But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though
Just to be clear, the point that i hope would made it into the drama was that one line in the book 'my wife can go to court while others' can't'. Just a man very secure in his masculinity that he does not afraid to be overshadowed by his powerful wife.

I'm sorry if it was unclear but I was referring to the book XD. The drama so far has been pretty faithful to the book though, so i hope this point could also make it into the final cut of the drama.

That's an interesting way to look at it. I'd say, in any polyamorous relationship, jealousy and unfairness is always inevitable. I would not delve to deep about why it was frowned upon in today's society. But in the case of the love triangle in this drama, the misundestandings really went both way. In fact, the main focus of the story would be giving them second chance to trust each other and clear all these misunderstanding that led them to a failed marriage in their previous life.
The different power dynamics between the ML and FL might have misled people into thinking she's abusing her power over him. But to me, they're actually pretty equal in terms of intelligence and wit. The ML, despite being lower in position, never feel like a man being suppresed by his wife. In fact, several times throughout the story, he mentioned how he's more than okay having a powerful wife.
Anyway, my point is, pei wenxuan was definitely not just sitting there to take all li rong's abuse. He's willing to acommodate her, yes, but also not afraid to voice out his opinion. And that's what makes their dynamic interesting, imo.

Yes! Like, it's not good to the point that a casual viewer like me noticed how half assed the editing was. Visually it also feels, idk, lacking in depth and dimension?
Idk if anyone else notice this but there seems to be a weird edit in ep 7, during the scene where the crown prince was talking to his bodyguard in the stream, the water in the bottom looks veeeery weird. I can't figure out why it was edited that way, was the water not real? Because the rest of the set looks very real to me lol.
On second thought, maybe not. Maybe the whole set is fake lol.

If we're going by today's standard then, yes. What she's doing is a blatant infidelity. But, assuming we're judging this by the royal family law in the drama's setting, it's not completely a taboo thing for a royal princess to have a concubine (or more). What she's doing might be petty, but not exactly against the law.
Another note is that, she didn't kill him just cause she's jealous, but because she thought PWX was plotting against her demise (which was also a misunderstanding).
But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong cause I got this information from novel translations 😁

My understanding (from the book) was that pei wenxuan thought he was somewhat responsible about qin zhenzhen cause she was his ex fiancee. He was so innocent back then that he misunderstood this 'sense of responsibilities' as a 'romantic affection'. And he failed to explain it well enough, so li rong ended up misunderstanding him as well.

I keep wondering why the whole drama feels like it's rushing through the motions. Maybe the lack of transition between scenes? Like, there's rarely a marker of night and day, often times there's no clue of setting (place and time, how much time has passed since the previous scene; whether they have reached a new place; and where is that place, like, how far?; etc). Since i've read the novel I can pull some clues from my memories, but I can imagine it would be quite confusing otherwise.
