Well she was the only woman in the army. She protected two cities, gained up power pretty soon. Doesn't make a lot sense, but yeah it is how it is.
LHA, lets see.

She saved him too. He saved his wife, the girl he loves. She saved him when he was a complete stranger, gave a roof over his head.
No ML and FL are on the same side, just different camps. Yes LHA in the novel also had a crush on her, not something very huge.

When his identity was revealed, FL told him their marriage is void, because his name isn't what it was in the marriage. So they don't need a divorce, they are not considered married. Yes they are in love, and in a relationship later, but she its not a marriage anymore.

But yes the third one was an actual breakup. Honestly from my perspective, this is easier said than done. If I am in love with a person, and I come to know that the person's family was responsible for killing mine deliberately, I wouldn't want to stay as well. We as an audience feel differently, but the character feeling that isn't wrong. While FL grew up with love, pampering with her parents, for 18 years, ML struggled, saw his dad never returning, saw his dad's body on the city gate tied down, saw his mother's suicide. Its really difficult.
I love the way they patch up though. He tries to forget her, not think about her. But he cries, fails, can no longer live without her. So he goes to his Xie family mansion. They had a concept that if you do something wrong, take 108 lashes, for it. So he takes 108 lashes, kneels and apologizes to his parents' tablets, tells them that FL is not at fault for what her family did, apologizes for falling for their killer's daughter, tells them that he wants to still be with her. He goes apologizes to FL, tells her regardless of everything he wants to be with her. He needed that break, honestly if he heard about it, and became that understanding within one second, it would have been weird. I am glad he didn't require FL's parents innocence to get back with her.

The Romcom era ends today!
Am I excited for the plot, war, political games, angst? YES.
Am I crying that happy times are over? ABSOLUTELY.

Nope. Her father had a good business, that's her father's house, inherited by her. She was struggling only for sometime, when the house could be taken any moment from her, when she did not re start the business. Now she is not struggling. She even helped Zhao uncle and aunt by paying for them in the last episode, buying things in the market. She is doing fairly well now, after doing business with Qian Qian.

1. ML left Linan. (a forced kiss, FL hit him as well. ML saves her few chapters later, but she doesn't know she was unconscious, they met few weeks later, not very long separation)
2. FL got angry after his identity reveal (very short separation, they make up very soon)
3. This is a breakup. ML leaves FL after the truth about her identity is revealed ( this was pretty long, but there were time skips in the novel as well so)

No. He was a puppet king who wants power to finally lead his own future. He was not kind at all.

LHA met FL for the first time, when she saved him during attack by the Sui. Like LHA gave a lift to FL, while she was fleeing, and both got attacked, FL saved him, because in the novel, he was just a scholar with no martial arts capability. Here lets see, they changed his character arc in the novel.
No they don't as such meet. FL would tell them later about his identity. FL lives in the camp to take care of him, but after his identity reveal, she joins a different camp. She wants to succeed on her own, to become something, so that she can marry him.

If I married a guy, saved him, loved him, spent time with him, and he lied to me about his disguise for 2 months, I would have hit him as well. He got countless opportunities to tell her the truth, but he didn't, maybe he is not wrong from his perspective, but she is also not wrong. But they make up soon. This isn't such a fight, she loves him too much to be upset on this lie for a long time. Yeah she gets some information about how her sister was rescued and her sister tells her that Jeifu saved her. No Zhao uncle was taken forcefully into army, all healthy males were taken, he was in ML's army. No worries, Uncle and Aunt Zhao make it to the end. Who RH?

Wei Yan, Emperor, Qi Min, Prince Changxin, his son Sui Yuanqing, Grand Chancellor Lei, no one is a friend of ML and FL but that doesn't mean they have allied together. All have their own objectives to gain. Li Huai An was a good person in the novel though was forced on a wrong path by his family and ended up poorly, hopefully with his character traits changed he might be different in the drama. ML, FL, Gongsun Yin, Princess Royal, QianQian, Prefect of the town, and a tutor of ML they all are good and have alliances with each other whenever required.

In today's episode when they all are in the Linan town, FL and ML try to protect the town, and FL and Sui has a fight, when ML comes and saves her, and then fights with him, was able to defeat him as well, but he then jumps to the river and gets saved. After ML leaves, Sui comes back destroys the village, kidnaps Changning, attacks FL, who runs away from him. ML finds her saves her, but after she woke up she doesn't know it was him who saved her, then she tries to find her sister. ML will save the sister, get injured, and FL will care for him, that's before the identity reveal. They later will defeat the Suis.
In the novel though Sui did not destroy the village.

In the novel yes, but it was not due to his illness, he was killed, because in the novel he rightfully deserved so.

No before that. But after all this, ML and FL would take revenge as well.

Yeah he is not well. He never was since childhood.

That would be really different from his character arc in the novel, I don't know if they would show us such a big change or not. But lets see.

His father was the legitimate heir of the throne. Qi Min was the son of the crown prince. Hence his son becomes the king, while Qian Qian becomes Empress Dowager.

ahh, maybe I missed that.

Hahaha!

Oh that banquet scene! Yeah but like they were not forced to have a kid by that, I think someone misunderstood the leads with Qi Min.
That was a nice scene, I don't know if they will keep it or not though.

That happens after identity reveal and official confession, ig that is the better way as well. Though its a historical drama, they might also make it a post marriage thing.
