Yes! He would be definitely survive the fall.

I wonder if the Lishan Academy was self-sustaining, and how many people lived on the mountain. Were they planting crops and harvesting them for eight years?

Cangbei! General Li might have planted her as the princess' maid.

He could testify against his father. He has done many dirty deeds on his bather's bidding over the years.

I skipped two days, so I can to bingewatch 19, 20, 21, 22 yesterday.

He was just a pawn. Muyang was planning to get rid of him. It was all B.S. about making him an adopted son, and giving him recognition in the Muyang clan.

I liked Qin until he took Muyang' assignment to kill the Minister prisoner. I think he might be dead, but there is hope.

The writer and director lost interest, and went off on a tangent. Short attention span! LOL

That's why Marquis was up in her face. He's not intimidated by her. He was her executioner for years.

At the midpoint of the drama, the writers might have started the elimination of characters. Mo Jing Li was the first big casualty but we suspect that he faked his death.

I expected his half brother would try and warn him, despite their adversarial relationship. Qin might have been his only sibling. Now, he's all alone with his monster father.

I didn't see the trailers. Sad that the writers would kill her off. She was a strong female, and not a weak princess. I liked her scenes with Mo's buddy.

Cheng Lei must have been dying to stop acting in the wheelchair for so many episodes.

I thought that they were killed by the palace quards, and Ye Li came to the capital for revenge. She was glad about the marriage to Prince Mo Xiu Yao, to gain access to the palace. Empress Dowager looks that she is tolerating Mo Xiu Yao's existence. Now that he can walk and fight, she and Emperor might feel threatened by him.

She is a spy.

FL and ML have excellent martial arts skills. They should be teaming up as the dynamic duo, instead of being loners. As of episode 23, neither of them is aware of each other's skillsets. FL is reminiscing about her crush on ML after he saved her.

Ye Li and Mo Xiu Yao have become an old boring married couple, and they only cuddled for the first time in episode 23. Ye Li is great as a deadly assassin. The writer should have focused on that skill. The palace conspiracy is not compelling. Empress Dowager and Marquis Muyung look bored. This drama should have been thirty episodes long.

I agree about Empress Dowager. She doesn't look like a ruler or a psycho. She looks very lackluster and bland for a ruler. She and Marquis Muyung should be a couple. They are both two-faced and manipulative. We are at the midpoint of the drama with nothing happening. Get ready for the filler in the next eighteen episodes.

I don't understand why Mo Xiu Yao looks sentimental toward her. Did he love her once upon a time? Betrothals are usually impersonal arrangements by the parents.

I feel that General Li sent her to infiltrate Mo Xiu Yao's mansion. As a servant of the Cangmei princess, how is she given a leave of absence to visit her old friends? It doesn't work like that when you are in servitude.
