Actually ML and FL had a fight and he went away for a business deal for more than a month. In that month, Ruohai pursued her relentlessly, he was quite rich, broke up with Shiyu, and now worked in ML's dad company in a very big position. FL was even about to be dismissed but he saved her, because ML wasn't there. She fell ill, he took her to the hospital and took care for her. She accepted him back but she had a plan. She told her bestie that she would do the same he did with her. She wanted to cheat on him. When ML came back and confessed his feelings, FL was not that aware of her own feelings plus was re dating Ruohai, so she rejected him. ML moved out and just after few dates with Ruohai, FL began to deeply feel regret. She did not even want revenge, so she told him that she accepted him just to cheat on him, to make him feel what she felt before, but she was no more interested in doing that (because she missed ML so much). So that was it, they went their separate ways. ML fell into deep trouble with his company, and FL heard it from his friend, so she dig up everything, worked very hard to clear his name. So they started dating then, more like ML pursued her officially. But then due to that Jin girl there was a misunderstanding, and FL decided though she liked him they were good as friends but not compatible as lovers, so they did not speak for few days, before officially getting together. So yeah it was a little messed up, but this is what had happened in the novel.There was also death of a character which actually fuelled FL to officially start dating ML because they did not know what the future holds. But I am not telling you the name of the character because that would be too much of spoiler(I don't know if you want to know), also I don't know if they would keep the same thing in the drama as well, I sincerely hope they don't.

About the other girl, I think she says that to irritate him, or because she thinks he is sometimes melodramatic, because in her diary she wrote she isn't sure if he has a girlfriend or not. But yes hoping that part gets cleared soon.

My question too. She seems in the preview as well, ahh😭

The novel conditions were a little different though. FL dated another guy after Wang Ruohai, who cheated on her again. ML almost dated Jin. FL even re-dated Ruohai for a little time, while ML moved out. I read it too. But these things seem not be happening in the drama like at least FL would never re-date Ruohai. In fact FL already realized her feelings for ML as of now.So when they are changing few things, then they could have make them start dating by ep 28. But yup that's just me manifesting, haha.I also think it would be by ep 30.

Prince Ding's father and Current Emperor's father (late emperor) were brothers, hence Current Emperor and Prince Ding are cousins. Prince Li is the son of Current Emperor's step brother (late crown prince), hence he is the grandson of the late Emperor. Late Crown Prince and Prince Ding were also cousins, hence Prince Li is Prince Ding's nephew.

Exactly.

Yeah 8 episodes should be at least. I still like it, because I really love bickering couples, haha. But yes lets hope we get to the dating era soon.

I am all up for the slowburn, and I have loved the process of them falling for each other. But by episode 24 (today), even FL has realized she likes him, ML realized in ep 10-11. So now I expected them to have the dating era from ep 27-28.
We deserve 7-8 episodes of our Fei-Fei couple dating, but even in the preview of ep 28, it doesn't seem they are dating. Ahhhhh!!
STOP giving the third couple and the guy's parents unnecessary screentime😭.

They are back together in ep 32.

😂♥️

But he has black hair in upcoming scenes of battle, maybe Yeli will dye his hair. But yes we wouldn't have minded his silver hair look, but maybe we have to wait for his Xianxia drama for that, haha.

The last episode should have Yeli's step brother and MXY's nephew playing together, while Yeli and MXY look at them with cutey tiny Xiaobao (their first born son according to the novel), for my healing after all the crying I went through.

Haha

Someone said it should go to Mo Wu You (ML's nephew), because he is the only normal person😂, plus has the royal blood, and his father died due to their schemes, so it would be a nice compensation.
Another one said, it should go to ML, because Yeli was always supposed to be the Queen, if the crown prince was not killed, Yeli was scheduled to marry Mo Jingli, would have become the king after his father (if nothing of this sort ever happened). Plus again ML has royal blood.

But I don't think any of these would happen. The leads have nothing against the current king, so if he doesn't do something wrong, the throne would be his for sure.

Likewise. As I said I understand both their perceptions.

No, the schedule is for one episode per day this week. Express is on Sunday.

Haha. He was not in Paris though, just in Marseille. Very busy schedule, he wrapped up The Noble, flew to Marseille, filmed there, came back and joined his next.

Totally and we have countless drama where male leads hid big truths from female leads, and when the truth is revealed, FLs leave them, no one criticizes the female leads then. We understand them, but we don't doubt male leads love, but we still get the female leads, because they have been lied to.
The only exception Yeli here gets is she is genuinely ill, and that is why I was angry on ML watching the scene, but that doesn't mean I will forgo my entire rationality.

Nope we are not sure about that. We don't know that ML would have divorced her right there if she told him the truth herself. If she sat him down, told whatever had happened, he could have been angry, but he might not have doubted her love. This was FL's fear, we can guess it, but we cannot be 100% confirmed what would have happened if she actually told the truth to ML.
Exactly, pitying him is an issue for him, because he has been getting pity all his life, because of his injury. FL pleaded to him to give her a chance to make his leg fine, he thought it was all due to a promise, which it was, but she also liked him.
ML knew nothing about FL. She spoke about Lishan as if it was full of people. He thought QingShuang was being imagined by FL in Ding Mansion because she missed everyone. In his mind, it was not abandonment, but noble idiocy plot, of freeing her, because she has fulfilled her promise.
FL had earlier made a reckless move of plotting her own kidnapping, leading to death almost. Yes it was due to a nice intention, but she could have died, and ML would have felt guilty about it forever without knowing the truth, thinking he couldn't protect her. But when she survived and he agreed for her to try to treat his legs, he thought it was care, it was love. But hearing it from Muyang, made it completely seem that she went to the grave lengths for the promise.
If you think a husband knowing his wife hid such a big truth from him would have no reaction after 30 episodes, then that would be a picture perfect green forest male lead. Which this was never, since the first, they repeatedly showed how vulnerable both ML and FL were. No one is flawless here.
But what I agree to you is this plot device. Instead of this divorce, according to his character would be not talking to each other, before they communicate and clear it, but even as the director said, its a ploy to bring ML to Lishan.

No one said ML did correct. Its called understanding two different perspectives. We understand his perspective why he did that, we understand where he comes from. That doesn't mean we support it. But that doesn't make him a dick. He made a mistake, he feels guilty and he will spend his whole life in taking care of the woman he loves.FL also did wrong by hiding the truth about HIS family. They had the same goals. She could have told him earlier after they fell for each other. Listening it from her would have been way better than listening it from his biggest enemy. But she didn't for 30 episodes. But we don't blame her. We understand her just like how we understand him. FL is not flawless and so is ML.Its fine if two sections of people disagree to a view, that doesn't make us ML apologists, it makes us rational thinkers.
