My thoughts after watching the first 5 episodes. The pacing feels relaxing and refreshing. Since its a 40 ep drama, I appreciate how they are taking the time to slowly built the story and the characters. I usually find dramas with slow pacing a little boring, but this one has enough suspense to keep me watching. This is my second drama of Cheng Lei and my first of Bailu. I'm loving Bailu's acting and her character. Ye Li is definitely smart but her easygoing personality is fun to watch too. I love her interactions with Mo xiu yao. Mo xiu yao is interesting too, love how they showed his pov at ep 4. Him observing Ye li was so cute. I love cheng Lei's micro expressions. After 5 eps we can see where the story is heading, and overall got an idea about the politics too. The Li shan mountain mystery is intriguing. So excited for next episodes!
Qingshuang is dead right yeli is just imagining her.. that's why prince ding said she kept talking to herself
Yess. I think she was the maid that lived with her in Lishan but she died there along with her grandfather, teachers. Thats why her other maids also know Qingshuang because she might have existed at some point.
Tong's death was so unexpected and sudden omg. Im crying soo much. Why the sweet and lovely side characters always die😭 hope Tong is reunited with Jiang Li. The way she asked to be buried next to her😭
in the novel, xiao yu's mom often praised xie yanfang as a role model, which made xiao yu admire him, but XYF…
Oh! Xie yanlai and xiao yu growing closer after xiao yu becoming the emperor makes sense. Also I wont be shocked if chu zhao deliberately wanted them to be close? Haha she's smart
One thing I'm kinda confused about. Xie yanlai's half sister was the crown princess right? So that makes him the maternal uncle to the emperor. In one scene, the emperor referred him as uncle and ran towards him. He seemed more comfortable with xie yanlai than xie yanfang. So my question is, how did xiao yu knew it was his uncle when he didnt recognise xie yanfang at first glance? Wasn't xie yanlai away from home and working under general chu? Also he was ill treated by his family so him being close to his nephew who happens to be the imperial grandson seems odd.. Unless xiao yu spended time with him after becoming the emperor? Can novel readers tell me pls?
1) Shes so cool.2) I was scared it was gonna have alotta hindrances since its moving so fast but then i saw the…
Same! I also thought that 24 eps for a historical drama might be too short, but now it seems good. I hope they don't rush things in the last 5-ish episodes
