Someone in X said, the leads have failed their fake marriage! Lol.
(Like now its the real one)

Her father initially a servant bought by Wei family later trained as an assassin served in the army under ML's father. Her mother Meng Lihua was the daughter of General Meng Shuyuan who also served under ML's father. Prefect He Jingyuan shown in ep 9, the old man, he was a comrade of FL's father, they fought together.
Wei Family children were ML's mother and PM Wei, they were siblings.

Does Li have a student? I think you are confusing him with Gongsun Yin, ML's friend. Yin is the master of an academy and his student looked at him lovingly. Li is the guy who gave lift to FL when she was injured after a wolf attack. Or am I wrong?

Its sadly not. Its very similar though.

Fingers crossed!

You're welcome!

FL dubbed her own, Linghe is dubbed by some one else. Its mentioned under cast list, even in the post credit scenes, even by his fanclubs.

In the novel, there were separations, yes plural, but none of them were very bad, okay the last one made me cry. But the point it, none of them were too long. Also felt kind of necessary for the plot. But the way they talk and makeup, is nice. So if they follow the novel about the separations, its okay its bearable.

Also I had written a comment previously. It doesn't have spoilers as such, it only has data given to us in the 9 episodes. Its about all the characters mentioned lately and their relationships. So you can just check this out, if it helps-

As you have seen till ep 9, then you know that there is a 16 year old case of ML's family. So yes, what happened there, what lead to that, aftermath, consequences, now different factions of people doing things for their benefits, leads, their identity, everything is there. We have lot of war scenes, after the village, but ultimately everything is related to the palace politics.
There are still people left to be introduced, in fact very important ones. So yeah these days you have to carefully watch the episodes, maybe slowly it will be cleared to you.

You can check the airing calendar released in any social media platform. Till 15th March, we have 2 episodes per day. From 16th to 21st we have 1 episode each day. On 21st and 22nd March, we have 2 episodes each. But from 23rd March we have 1 episode again, till it ends on 30th March. Express schedule not announced till yet but maybe its on 26th or 27th March. Even with express, we have at least 10 days in total having 1 episode each.

this week we have 2 episodes each day, next week we have 1 episode each day.

After village scenes, there are war scenes, they focus on living in military camps and winning places. There are few scenes scattered of the ML meeting the king, or some banquet scenes, and some scenes in the climax, but its not a lot.

FL's father's original name was Wei Qilin, he was a servant bought by the Wei family, hence the surname Wei. He was trained as an assassin and he then served in army under ML's father. FL's father fell for Meng Lihua who was the daughter of old General Meng Shuyuan who served under ML's father as well.
ML's mother was Wei family daughter, sister of the current Prime Minister Wei.
The two lovers/leads have no such relation, except the fact that FL's father was a servant of ML's mother's natal home, and FL's father and maternal grandfather both served under ML's father in army.
All of them FL's parents and grandfather, ML's parents, uncle, and many other people are all interconnected through the 16 years old incident where ML's father passed away, and FL's parents took on a secret identity with Fan surname. Something happened, but I don't know if you want to know that spoiler, so I am restraining on that.

Yeah I agree. I don't know if they will change it or not in the drama, but this was it in the novel.

He is easily jealous sometimes, leading to hot moments between them. But red flag? NOPE. Controlling? Never. He is always very good to her. Both FL and ML were always into each other, hence at least in the novel there were no bad instances.

I partially agree. Like after he dies, there is no guarantee that his daughters would be protected, so the suicide would be in vain.
But if he didn't die, they all would have been killed together on that day. Its only because He Jingyuan told Wei that he killed FL's parents though he didn't, that Wei now trusts him enough. That is why in today's episode He Jingyuan sends the letter to Wei, that's the evidence, also telling him not to kill the daughters. Wei actually listens, he leaves them, he doesn't send attackers anymore, because the ones who knew are dead, the letter is in his hands, so its a done deal.
So its a risky gamble FL's father did, but he won it.

Nope. FL is the granddaughter of old general Meng Shuyuan.
Fan Erniu, FL's father is Wei Qilin, a servant who was purchased by the Wei family, he was trained to be an assassin and later served in army. His wife Meng Lihua, is the daughter of Meng Suyuan, a general who served under ML's father.
Wei is the prime minister, ML's mother's brother. Yes it was on his order that a person was sent to kill FL's parents, because they knew a lot about the incident involving ML's father 16 years back, but that person did not kill him, though Wei thought that his people killed FL's parents. It was He Jingyuan, the prefect of the town, shown in today's episode, he was ordered by Prime Minister Wei, but FL's father was his comrade/friend, he could not kill him. FL's parents knew they couldn't survive, hence gave that letter box to He Jingyuan, and died by suicide, asking He Jingyuan to protect his daughters, because they are not involved.

Exactly

Yes
