Saw something that made me giggle. Y'all know the scene where XFF is dressed in red and she opens the door and it's snowing? She has this yearning expression on her face? Well, someone edited that on X and Insta and put her iconic Wei Ying Luo and Fu Heng's OST song from Yanxi Palace with it. It was perfect. And hilarious. (The OST was about snow)
I think it's because people generally like long happy endings. They want to see how their favorite couples and…
I don’t need 30 minutes Lol. The last fifteen minutes downgraded my rating because it was gratuitous and unnecessary. If the director had ended at 31:17 I’d have given it a perfect 10.
Is a director uncut ver a common thing for cdramas?
10! The director told us to wait for the following Jan or Feb after it aired for the 10 episodes to be specially released. Never happened. This is why the last five episodes were so disconnected and choppy. They cut 10 episodes and sewed together those scenes with fade out and voiceovers (LuSi's crying and reunion scene when she thought he'd died). It was very jarring.
So BTS for something and I really really thought he was going to kiss her. And I was so ready for it. 😁😁😁😁😁https://x.com/ccarriestarss/status/1805562208383836600?s=46&t=VeIo60n7oCok5RTR6pygTg
I think he thought about it! Ha ha he’s naughty boy. I like. 🤣
In the novel, her soul took over jiang li’s body when she was murdered and when jiang li died after a suicide…
In China, I've seen some double identity status staying but it included face-swapping, haha. That was a very good short drama I saw, btw. Too bad I don't have a title.
I feel the end is problematic. How could an imposter live out her life with a corrupt official (her second husband)…
Using historical context, the word of the Emperor is law. The biggest crime is to deceive him. Since there was no deception about who she really was because Xiao Heng has always told him everything, including Consort Li's last words, there is no crime.
In the context of just moral ambiguity, I am going to take the stance that most of the characters here are morally ambiguous, including the Grandma who stood by watching a little girl being sent away. Duke Su, having spent his youth in captivity, was inclined to watch how this female, who looked similar to another woman he'd seen, get out of her predicament, as well as find out why she chose that route. He could have wanted to expose her at first, but upon seeing her motives, chosen t keep silent. Yes, he was using it, but I wouldn't call that corrupt. They torture people in those days like it was nothing, so we're handwaving a lot of the cruel aspects of the laws.

Ah. I've answered your hypothesis in another post about how one would go adapting a historical drama into a modern setting. Thought-provoking question. Thank you.
