I understand the desperation, the anger and all, but Li Mao is really going down that road at an incredibly fast pace. I can’t help feeling curious what Xie Jiayu would think if she saw that. Then again, she’s young and naïve, and doesn’t want to see anything bad in the guy.
I’m really curious about that whole matter that Xie Huaigui wants to find out about. And what did she mean that it’s only after she’s dead that she can cooperate with him. I’m guessing either leaving something for him that will give clues, or having people cooperate with him. That’s my guess, we’ll see what it actually is going to be.
What was it that Li Mao circled on that portrait that made the guy react the way he did? Did I miss something? Or it did not carry any particular meaning, and the guy just reacted this way to the idea of the girl marrying Li Mao?
So, he’s actually becoming a villain voluntarily, huh. I mean, I understand to an extent where he’s coming from but I’m not sure how I feel about him seriously just choosing this route the way he is.
That servant of yours asks good questions, Xie Jiayu. Figuring out what it is that you want for yourself first is definitely a good way to go.
That swirl when he kicks the firework out of her hand lol I’m not saying it’s a bad scene or anything like this, but I can’t help finding it a little funny lol
Oh, she is starting to realise that Li Mao has changed and that he likely wants to stay.
That was a quick jump to the wedding. And they’re still trying to stop it? Short of disrupting the ceremony, isn’t it a bit too late? I’m really curious how it’s all going to play out.
The next two episodes are looking nice, too. I already can’t wait.
Here we gooo, jealous Li Mao. Just a matter of time before he starts working against Xiao Wuyi because he believes that he stole Xie Jiayu.
Wait wait wait, did I hear that correctly that Xiao Wuyi’s intention to end the marriage to the Princess so that she can be with his brother? You just scored so many points with me, my man!
I think I agree with Li Lejun about Xie Jiayu’s feelings about entering the palace and all.
So here comes the moment when Li Mao is going to start plotting against the Empress. Of course, it was to be expected to come this way.
It’s Xie Huaigui that is working with the Eagle King? I should have seen this coming by this point.
“There’s no turning back” oh, in many more ways than just one, I imagine.
“The rift has already formed” – it most certainly has.
Oooops. Xie Jiayu, you got boosted.
Anyway, another very enjoyable episode. Now I’m expecting that despite all their efforts to prevent that, Li Lejun is going to be forced to marry anyway and Li Mao is, of course, going to put the blame between the Empress, for everything she has done, and Xiao Wuyi for failing to prevent that.
I also have a feeling that very soon, Xie Jiayu is really not going to like the person that Li Mao is becoming, and that’s only going to make him all the more angry, and blaming Xiao Wuyi for that as well.
No, Princess, don’t say that. Don’t break my heart T__T Honestly, these two would be so cute together, I’ll cry if they don’t realise that too.
Xiao Wuyi, you lost that match on purpose, didn’t you? I mean, I don’t disagree with you but I’m not sure Xiao Yao will be happy if he realises that.
Poisoned arrow, seriously? Dear Empress, isn’t working with an enemy country against your own called treason? Lol
I kinda like Xiao Yao showing up for the contest, also to prove something to the Eagle King.
Of course the injury is acting up just when the competition is about to start. I KNEW IT!
I’m 1000000% expecting Li Mao to completely misread the whole ribbon moment. Even more so with that hug afterwards lol
Oooooh, they invented a system for that situation with the drum.
Ok, Xiao Wuyi and Xie Jiayu are cute, but I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t ship a different pair the most, and I think right now, it’s the Princess and Xiao Yao. Will they end up together? Knowing my luck and record – not at all. Does it change my feelings? Not in the slightest.
„Let me tell you the story of me and A’Mao” hahahahahaha. Xie Jiayu, Xie Jiayu, that’s the absolutely last thing he wants to hear lol Rui Sheng being able to keep mostly a straight face through it all lol Meanwhile, I’m dying here XD
Come on, Li Mao, don’t pull faces like this. You should know Xie Jiayu well enough to figure out that she may be putting on a show for Xiao Wuyi. You’re disappointing me here. Not that I’m very surprised by this behaviour – what I expect must come from somewhere. It's probably already planting the seed of doubt whether she might not be getting feelings for Xiao Wuyi, especially that talk they had later.
Ahh, so that is why Xie Jiayu was affected by the story so much. I’m surprised they didn’t have her be related to the tinkerer guy.
But, honestly, the Eagle guy has nerve to present gifts like this. I’d think they’d have to be approved by his country first but then again, I don’t think we’ve been told much about the situation there, so perhaps he is able to just do whatever he wants.
Oh yeah, I’m sure you’re just going to leave. Just like you did last time. I’m betting it will be the exact moment when the Emperor dies.
Xie Jiayu, I’m not sure you’re making things better by telling Xiao Yao what you did, even if you didn’t say your guesses directly.
Aww, the Princess being there when Xiao Yao leaves, of course. Honestly, each episode where they share scenes makes me want them to end up together more and more.
As much as I appreciate that rain scene, that thingy really doesn’t look so heavy that she couldn’t just hold it up herself. But perhaps it is heavier than it looks lol
Should the prediction be correct, Xie Jiayu will unfortunately be presiding over a funeral procession with Xiao…
The Last Jasmine, Shadow Love, and a few other dramas. I would also hope that they don't go down that road but recently, a lot of dramas have made me start losing hope they will choose an original route.
As to Xie Huaigui not wanting him to marry Jiayu - I would expect that Li Mao is going to turn against the man as well as soon as he gains enough power not to need him anymore, and doesn't like what the guy is saying.
But, that said, I am definitely hoping to be proven wrong :)
Should the prediction be correct, Xie Jiayu will unfortunately be presiding over a funeral procession with Xiao…
Sorry for jumping in out of the blue but I think I could see that happen. Is that unoriginal? Yes but I can unfortunately see Li Mao going down that path, I think Xie Huaigui poisoning his mind has already started, and I imagine it will only be more effective when he realises that Xie Jiayu and Xiao Wuyi are getting closer.
So I could easily see that "fortune telling" being an accurate foreshadowing of events to come. It's very often not done by anyone, who is supposed to be a good fortune teller, very often by someone random or even a confirmed fraud. Is it an overused trope? Yes. But unfortunately, most productions don't seem to care about that.
Leaving her on the roof lol “Figure it out” lol Come on, Xie Jiayu, just jump. Trust me, it’s not like you’re gonna die :)
Why do I have a feeling Xiao Wuyi’s injury is going to act up during that game for the provinces?
Xie Jiayu, don’t trust Xie Huaigui. I know you want to protect your friend and all, but don’t trust him.
The more we find out, the more I’m hoping for a cute side plot between the Princess and Xiao Yao. I wasn’t sure about Xiao Yao at first, but I’m starting to like him more and more. It’s so clear she’s important to him. It would be so cute if they could find happiness together.
Is that Yuan Xiaole going to turn out to be Xie Jiayu’s actual father? It would make sense if he also designs stuff and all. But may also be a coincidence, I guess.
Nooo, why do you finish the episode in such a moment T___T
I'm so hooked, I already can't wait for tomorrow's episodes to maybe get some of the answers <3
Xiao Wuyi is the Crown Prince? I’m not sure how I feel about that. He doesn’t strike me like the kind of person that would be happy sitting in the Emperor’s seat. Though, in a way, that would explain why the Empress is so keen on destroying him, if she is aware of that identity of his. He sure doesn’t look surprised, so I’m really looking forward to the future episodes and finding out more, as well as learning more of his actual plans.
Awww, Xie Jiayu speaking her mind about everyone around using her. Such a lovely scene.
Well played Xiao Wuyi. Getting exactly what you want from the Empress.
Xie Jiayu completely misunderstanding the tablets meaning is way too funny lol How sweet of him to recognise she had good intentions at least :) Drunk Xie Jiayu is just so adorable.
What I like about this drama in addition to its complex plot is that the humor just lands. It’s not over the…
100% agreed. The balance is just right in my eyes and it works really well to unload episodes and moments that would otherwise be quite complex or intense.
"I'm here to save you" scene where Xie Jiayu proceeds to shoot Xiao Wuyi might be my favourite in those 6 episodes so far, but there are so many other great and incredibly funny moments.
So, Xie Jiayu is not his biological daughter, eh? That explains even more things. And poses some more questions too.
Ok, so Xie Jiayu’s mother doesn’t want Li Mao to take the throne. So the person she is trying to find is the other candidate, who everyone probably think has died long ago. Which of course they did not.
Oh, the blow to the head has not been forgotten, hurray. Good, good. Him surviving that is already leaning a bit on a plot armour in my eyes, but at least they are not having it as if it never happened. 3-5 years to live, and he feels like it’s enough? I wonder how soon he’s going to change his mind.
Honestly, the way the Empress is acting, I half expect them to reveal she is in collusion with some kind of enemy country. Does she not realise that what she’s doing is effectively only harming her in the long run?
Pei Runheng, huh? I don’t see that name on the cast list. Interesting…
The drama is just so fun. I already can’t wait for today's episodes <3
So this is why he was investigating the Young Master of Miraculous Craft.
Honestly, the father is the biggest surprise for me here so far. I’m loving it but oh my, oh my. Just how far back does the scheme goes, and how long has he been using his daughter like he had with that crossbow…
I can’t help feeling sorry for Xie Jiayu. Not only did she learn she got used that way, by someone that she had been close to her whole life, she also learns that her designing the thing led to the death of so many people.
I like how Li Mao gets disillusioned about the guy, too.
Though, I have to say, while I understand the principle of why you don’t someone to hold too much power in their hands because they can easily get rid of you, they are still undermining their own country’s military power that way. And it’s not like you can just flick your fingers and rebuild that strength in an instant, so if you go too far with that, you’re basically going to be sitting ducks with not much use for your position if you can't even defend yourself...
All of it is so interesting, I’m definitely hooked on the drama.
Why can’t I shake off a feeling that the Empress might be involved with the Emperor’s illness so that she can actually do whatever she wants in his name… [I don't actually want to know, I'm happy to learn everything as the drama airs.]
Interesting, interesting… I wonder how much Xie Jiayu’s mother knew of her husband’s plans…
Honestly, out of all of this, I really didn’t see it coming from Xie Jiayu’s father. He even killed that servant! I wonder how long he has actually been planning that. It’s an interesting twist and I enjoy it, for sure, but hoooly… The father and daughter relationship will never be the same after that.
“Your son”?! :OOO But, I suppose that does explain a few things… That was an interesting interaction for sure.
The traps, the crossbows… Such a shame they didn’t actually have someone enter the room and do the funny dance to avoid all of that lol
I love what they did in that scene where Xie Jiayu goes to meet her in-laws, hearing them speak before she sees what they are actually doing lol
Aww, that heart to heart Xie Jiayu had with her mother.
Hahahahahaha, all the things she has hidden dropping one after another.
The father?! Man, what are you doing there :OOOOOOO
Oh, Xiao Wuyi’s entrance in that palace scene, a very nice one!
It's so interesting, honestly. It's so obvious Xiao Wuyi basically used Xie Jiayu's plan to escape as an excuse for his people to be out on the streets and everything. And Xie Jiayu thinking he genuinely failed to find her lol
Should I remind you that Prince Lie tried to force kiss her… without her permission, threatened her, physically…
And pray tell me where did I say that I think he did nothing wrong? Or even that I dislike the ML? As just because someone doesn't like some actions a character takes doesn't go hand in hand with that person disliking that character, the same way that if someone says they like apples more than oranges doesn't mean that they dislike either of them.
Just watched the first episode and it's a good start! 👍
Oh, hey, nice to see you! Been a while :)
I am two episodes in and unfortunately need to take a break before I can finish the rest, but it sure is starting off very nicely. I'm so excited for this title <3
Wait, he’s married to the Crown Princess and doesn’t know what she looks like? “Nice to meet you” made me laugh so hard lol
The scene when Xie Jiayu is threatening to hang herself while her mother just prepares tea, and even suggests using a stronger rope and pointing out all the things she enjoys as she is about to smash them lol It’s so nice to see a female character with a family that actually cares about her, there should be more of those in dramas.
“I’m here to save you!” *proceeds to shoot an arrow straight into him* XDDD
“Old, ugly and never bathes” XDDD And then the realisation that it is him she was speaking about lol
