That was one fishy story. Lu Jiang Li watches Cdramas. He ticked off the boxes; falling off a cliff, hitting his head on a rock, developing amnesia. He didn't think he would be shoveling horse dung.

There are about fifty actors in the drama. Can MDL update the castlist? The age gap between the ML and FL is big.

I dropped Unclouded Soul even though I like the ML and FL. Glory has realism and complex relationships.

Thank you for the full explanation. The case was so vague and ambiguous, I was just following along with the plot.

Granny is insane.

Old Granny is a tyrant. Shan Bao should walk out, and leave the Rong dynasty to rot. Yunshu is a snake. She is a mirror image of Granny. Is she playing with Yang Yitang and Bai Yin Sheng? I am surprised Yunyin is standing by Shan Bao.

Is Monk Bai related to Granny's first husband? Is he seeking revenge for his family?

I wonder where he had vanished to. He had limited screen time, and he looked boring. Muahahaha!

He is ranked third in the cast list, and he hasn't done much in the first twenty-three episodes. It is likely that he has a significant role in the plot.

The old hag needs to retire, and go somewhere and drink cups of tea. She is till "lording" over the Rong empire.

Granny Rong showed her true colors when she denigrated her great grandchild, her birth mother and the granddaughter Yun Wan, and in effect, her ex-son-in-laws. I am surprised she has employed a male steward/butler, unless he turns out to be a bastard grandson.

He reminds me Korean actor Lee Seo Jin, and Allen Ren, as you mentioned it.

The director made her up to look very old in this role. I have seen male characters in their 60s, with black hair. I read that there is a black tea that is supposed to dye grey hair black. She has a vast tea operation, that she should have discovered it. She could have consulted with Xie Huai An of Vendetta of An. LOL

I am getting a premonition that all the young women will have a redemption at the end, including Yun Shu. Granny should have married off all of them, when she had the opportunity. It's debatable if Granny will have a fatal stroke, or just become nice.

Let's call her Old Granny Hag! LOL

She probably chased away her husbands, and all the son-in-laws. She chased away the men who came to the house to woo her granddaughters. She thinks she is the Emperor Rong.

I wasn't expecting that either. I am guessing she was never fooled by her blind/not blind Yun Shu. Granny is the great manipulator.

She belittled them and told them to leave. When they walked out, she criticized them for leaving. The woman is manipulative and overbearing.

Ep 23 comments: Was Granny Rong pretending to be asleep when Yun Shu put the poison/drug in her tea? It looks like the Rong dynasty is falling apart at the seams. Lu Jiang Li started to lose me when he went from the efficient Imperial Inspector Lu, to lovesick Lu.

Shan Bao might not have changed her testimony if the young girl was not standing in front of her.
