Pan'er is so smart and can read people so well, I don't get how she doesn't see that Yinzhang is infatuated with…
Pan’er may be thinking that Yinzhang is like her little sister and she completely trusts her. I’m sure Qianfan has noticed Yinzhang’s change of behaviour when he is around. There was a scene where Yinzhang saw Pan’er and Qianfan hugged each other and I was wondering whether it would be the root cause of Yinzhang running away with Shen Ruzhuo without letting the sisters know in ep26?
Talented Chinese actors in the thirties look more hot than talented actors in the twenties to me nowadays. I want…
Hey, hope you are well. I personally prefer the relationship between GU Qianfan & Pan’er to the one between Xiao Beicheng & Hanjing though I love the novel. This drama is refreshing for me as they have a mature relationship, proper discussion between the couple, a hidden understanding of each other and always look out for each other. It is just my opinion and accept any disagreement from others.
Pan’ er is 24. How old exactly is GQF?I don’t remember if it was mentioned before. I would estimate him as…
Whilst I would have loved that the engagement that Qianfan’s grandfather had arranged for him would have been her but your thoughts are correct. He mentioned in ep19 that the girl family had cancelled the engagement when he had joined the capital security office. Pan’er was only released from the performing dancer position at the age of 16. Her mum already died before she was made to join the performing dance company and I assume that her dad had passed away as well so her family wouldn’t have been able to cancel the engagement.
Hey, I assume you've watched all episodes so far? If so, could you please tell me at which episode do they officially…
From ep1, you could see that he has found her special. He starts falling for her in ep5. The relationship has not started from Here but he has continued to look out for her. As soon as she has sorted out her issues with Ouyang and decided to leave him then they start to be friends and developed feelings for each other. She has admitted to Senniang her feelings for h In ep14. He has proposed to her in ep17 if I am not mistaken.
I feel like the ML being the secret love child of the most powerful politician in the realm is already cliche…
Your reasoning makes sense. However, I think the fans have speculated that the first baby was taken away by the empress Liu but did not mention about the prince of 12 years old. She subsequently sent concubine Li into exile but she escaped with the second baby. Anyway, I hope Qianfan & Pan’ er will have a happy ending.
Am I right in thinking that this drama occurred during the Song Zhenzhong ( the emperor) period and the empress is Empress Liu? I understand that princess Liu was infertile and that the prince was from Concubine Li? There was a theory among some Chinese fans that princess Li was actually Gu Shuniang ( Qianfan’s mother) and that she was pregnant of twins and the first child was taken away by empress Liu. The second child was Qianfan who was born after whilst the first baby was taken away without the emperor having knowledge of the second baby. With the help of an ennuch at the court, concubine Li ran away with the baby. The supposedly grandfather Gu Sheniang took her in as his daughter and in order to protect her identity he asked a matchmaker to arrange her marriage to Xiao Quinyan. Daddy Xiao is actually not Qusnfsn’s dad but actually the emperor? Hence, daddy Xiao is kind of taking precaution to protect Qianfan? I think this theory may be plausible. Any Thoughts?
Yinzhang misunderstood again? I would say yinzhang is a dense girl, even the new girl knew right away, and qian…
I think Yingzhang lives in her own bubble with her music, her dream of becoming famous and getting married into wealth and status. Though, she is sweet, pretty and all but lacks of depth. Zhaodi has shown some loyalty so far
How I feel as well. I think Minister Xiao might be the good guy and GQF is colluding with Lei Jing.
I think uncle Qi Mu is too obsessed with the Xiao clan and I could see him betraying Qianfan since Qianfan is conflicted in harming his dad & his half brothers.
I think that's a pretty good guess. I can't wait to see more of the story 😍Regarding the (far) future episodes,…
Apologies, I didn’t realise there were these indications on the future épisodes. It would be nice for Pan’er to have a baby with Qianfan . Both deserve some happiness given their tragic’s childhood.
Uncle Qi Mu seems to be obsessed with taking down the Xiao’s clan. Whilst Qianfan is holding some grudges against his dad due to the divorce of his parents, he might be conflicted in harming daddy Xiao & his half brothers. I could see Qi Mu turning on Qianfan.
I saw a while ago that Ouyang Xu came back & tried to implement a law that would forbid any woman in the country to own or run a shop if I am not mistaken.
I assume that we will see more politics games being played out from next week the 3 big factions in the eastern capital. The first one being the future Prime Minister Xiao Qinyan ( Qianfan’s father), the powerful and corrupted clan from what we gather in ep17-18) and is the enemy of the military minister Qi Mu (Qianfan’s uncle from his mother side). Qi Mu wants his nephew Qianfan’s help to right thing wrong at the imperial court. I’m sure Qianfan will have some difficulties taking his dad down unless his dad will not use some dirty tricks to harm Pan’er. The other clan and dangerous one is inspector GAO Hu which we have n seen him breaking his daughter GAO Hui engagement as soon as he has learnt that Ouyang Xu took up a lower position by joining the the Taoist temple in the western region.
Let’s not forget the dangerous ennuch Lei Jing (Qianfan’s boss) who has the trust and protection guarantee from the empress after having served her over 30 years.
In addition, I have no doubt that’s Ouyang Xu will back. He may use GAO Hui to destroy Pan’er & Quianfan love. There was a scene of him tricking pan’er to going to his place and he tried to strangle her.
Any thoughts on the storyline in future episode? I saw a short scene of the ep 24 where Qianfan was with his father and looked very worried a and I am not quite sure what.
Could someone please explain to me: why does the ML have a different surname from his father? This is confusing.
My understanding is that his birth father comes from a modest background when he married his mum. His father is a bit like the SML, very ambitious and would do whatever it takes like collusion with bad people, framing people wrongly to get into power. In contrast with Qianfan Gu, his mother maiden family, they are well off, his grandfather has been a high rank official in the eastern capital and so is his uncle (you could see him In ep12) are honest with integrity and they do not regard his father highly. The main reason that Qianfan is taking his mother’s maiden name is that the Gu doing have a heir, his uncle does not have a son so he is using Gu name after his father left him as a child if I am Not mistaken.
Yes. I am loving this drama. It is very refreshing to have our Pan’ee & Quanfan have a normal/mature relationship and not a toxic one that we have just watched from The love in the flames of war. It is a relief, really.
Anyone that say they didn't like episode 16 has no taste
I love it, such a delicate way to make tea. Her dance is mesmerising, you could see so much love, all her expression in making tea is very liberating for her I think.
Pan’er used to be from an official family until her father was found to be a “corrupt” (as they may have…
That is my assumption between the episode 1 & ep12 when Qianfan met secretly with his uncle, the high ranked military official and give him the evidence that the ennuch Lei Jing ( Qianfan’s boss) colluded with the officials at Jiangnan county where her family resided. His uncle then told him to just lay low for a while before striking. I was wondering whether Qianfan may have found that her father was framed by Lei Jing. He may be able to clear her family’s name?
Here but he has continued to look out for her. As soon as she has sorted out her issues with Ouyang and decided to leave him then they start to be friends and developed feelings for each other. She has admitted to Senniang her feelings for h

Concubine Li? There was a theory among some Chinese fans that princess Li was actually Gu Shuniang ( Qianfan’s mother) and that she was pregnant of twins and the first child was taken away by empress Liu.
