Well, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe this isn't the drama for you. The "marriage arc" is woven through the whole thing, including the most recent release, ep 9, but I also thing the leads have excellent chemistry, so...

Whaaaat. Okay, I did wonder that at the time. I was like..."does she have a secret family?" But dismissed it as too wild a theory. Wow!

When RSB was playing up her illness and the grandmother goes "I can't even count on you when I need you in a moment like this" I wanted to slap her! She's the reason those girls are the way they are - they even said she spoiled rotten the one bratty one. And she puts all of the pressure on RSB.

Ha ha, real! I thought I could watch this and Unclouded Soul at the same time, but it turns out my obsession with this drama is too strong. I had to drop US until this none is finished.

THIS SHOW. You guys, the BRILLIANCE of them giving Yunxi this weakness for a man so far beneath her station (and a widower!) when she is so obsessed with status and power! Oh, I feel bad for him because he seems to truly care for her; there must be more depths to her than she usually shows in her scheming against her sister.

LJL is SO flipping smart. "Give them what they want and let them destroy themselves" is such a classic, brilliant move. Finally dealing with these sisters, and I can't wait for them to get what they've earned. After all of their "how hard can it be to run the tea plantation?" And "we know just as much as RSB." CLEARLY you don't. You're not even smart enough to listen to your workers.

The blind sister really knows how to play the long game, doesn't she? And LJL is right, she's far more ruthless and cold hearted than RSB. She doesn't just want them to fail, she wants them destroyed.

It was SO adorable him reciting mantras to keep himself from giving in to his feelings for her, ha ha. He's smart enough to know if he sleeps with her before all of his schemes come to light, she'll never forgive him for deceiving her, (and now he's secured her promise not to hold a big mistake against him in the future. 😂 Love it. So "them", lol. )

And then when she kicks him out of bed after he's almost given in, he's upset about it! Dude was so close to cracking, lol.

"you can't get mad or resent me....and most of all you can't ignore me." He knows her well, lol.

It's funny to me how many people just believe when things are shown on screen. No. It's just a ploy to oust him from the house and make him vulnerable.

Oh, I hope my comment didn't come off as dismissive in any way! I just meant "I definitely think the good guys have staged something here". I totally get your frustration in the immediate aftermath. that was me when I thought that ep 14 preview was another episode until it started playing and found out it was just a teaser! One episode?? They're really playing with our emotions with this release schedule!

I mean....they're sort of scheming FOR each other, and just not TELLING each other everything. 🤣

It's pretty obvious the good guys have done some things to entrap the bad guys, IMO. First of all, LJL is cunning and shrewd, and so is RSB. They have somehow arranged things so the "bad guys" think they've succeeded, but it's all an elaborate trap for them to fall into.

We had several "tells" for the audience when stuff went down. 1. Wanwan's face remaining covered - even the bratty sister was suspicious of that and tried to get a look, but was stopped. RSB controlled that entire scene - possibly with the help of the one sister or cousin who stopped the bratty one from looking at Wanwan's face. She made sure the "body" was taken away before WW could wake up from whatever she's been given to be fake dead.

My theory is the maid they tried to use told RSB everything. When JLJ rushed to her side and then was about to do something, she grabbed him in a tight hug, and you could tell was whispering something to him. Telling him to follow her lead, or something that made him settle and trust her. Previews for next episode show her sitting there looking unnerved with Mr. He is pushing his agenda at her - definitely letting him tighten his own noose. RBS knows Wanwan saw something about Yang's murder. And now she's taken steps to protect Wanwan, fool everyone into thinking the murder plot succeeded, and catch He in the process. I just don't think she had time to completely loop in JLJ, although it's possible he knows more than currently appears. These shows love to fool us and then go back and show us things that happened that we didn't know about.

Thank you! Exactly the direction I was hoping for.

I don't understand where you are seeing that. In the calendar thread posted by BaekhyunoonaID in recent discussions, scroll down to like the fourth picture maybe, and it shows the official calendar. No episode today (the 3rd in China) and ep 13 tomorrow (the 4th in China).

They are airing tomorrow. Scroll up to find the official release schedule under "calendar" in "recent discussions".

Oh, sorry. No new siblings have appeared up to currently aired eps. It would be nice if there IS a new one that she could actually be a decent person, though, instead of backstabbing like the rest.

Everyone in comments asking about why no episode, or surprised about the schedule....scroll up. Just above the comment section is "recent discussions". Most shows, including this one, post the official Calendar as released by the distributor there. It will show what episodes are scheduled to air on what days. Additionally, if you keep scrolling up, you'll see above the cast "where to watch" which shows the official distribution channels for the show (in this case, Mango, IQIYI and Viki). Mango and IQIYI air the episodes exactly as the calendar says. (Viki might as well, but also sometimes gets eps a day or two behind. I haven't checked for this show.) If you are watching this show "somewhere else" those places are not official/legal distributors of the show, - they get the eps because someone illegally downloaded them from one of the official channels and uploaded it. So no, none of them will have episodes outside of the calendar schedule either.

Right above the distribution channel section is a countdown timer on this page. It shows you how long you have to wait until the next episode drops. In this case, currently 22 hours and 49 minutes.

No one can answer you for sure. This show is not following the novel and even if it was, the characters in the novel are all named completely different (no Rong family at all, it's Ye there). So you know what everyone knows. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Words cannot describe how sad I am that we should all be watching an episode right now but we still have to wait until tomorrow.

They are really great! Their dramas always feel just a little more mature somehow even with the same tropes.

IDK, but that's not an official site, right? Do they have all the way up to ep 12 currently? People watching it on IQIYI with the SVIP sub are up through 12, and no new episodes are dropping until tomorrow.
