LCC... Can't we just get rid of her? Please. For me, she's currently the most awful FL in a long time. Not only…
What you said is absolutely true. Yes, she is the most awful FL I have ever seen in a C drama. But honestly, the word adultery is way too heavy to describe that situation. People react sensitively when something touches their sense of belonging — so CC treating that woman coldly is understandable. The woman was a stranger who literally tried to kill her.
But even with that, CC should’ve handled the truth far more intelligently. Her master has been a close person in her life for years. At some point, that emotional attachment becomes a blind spot.
Her problem isn’t “sensitivity.” Her problem is that she’s neither logical nor thinking clearly.
It’s like she refuses to let her mind go where the facts are pointing. Instead, she clings to the version of the world she wants to believe — even if every piece of evidence is screaming otherwise. that is why viewers are losing patience with her.
Best comment, as always. 🌸The ML… he is truly a capable ruler, wise and responsible, but as a husband……
No, no — the Grand Tutor doesn’t even care about his own life, forget anyone else’s. The only thing he worships is his family name. That’s it. This is classic historical C-drama logic: these noble idiots don’t care if they die, their kids die, or half the country burns — as long as the glorious clan name shines like some ancestral trophy.
They’ll sacrifice their children, their conscience, and every living soul in the city, but if the family plaque is still hanging on the wall, they consider it a victory. 🤦♀️
In their brains: “Everyone is dead? Perfect. The clan honor remains untouched.”
Honestly, sometimes the villains aren’t evil — they’re just brainwashed by 2,000 years of ‘family first, humans second.’
Want to start to see this drama..but having some doubt if i should..is this a good one?
It depends on what you’re looking for. This drama is intense, emotional, and full of political intrigue, so if you enjoy complicated relationships, morally grey characters, and high-stakes power struggles, it’s definitely worth watching.
But a warning: the misunderstandings and conflicts between the leads can be exhausting, and the script can feel messy at times. 😅 You might find yourself frustrated with the characters as much as captivated by them.
Honestly, the leads’ performances are amazing, and that alone makes it worth watching. If you can handle emotional tension and a bit of chaos, go for it — it’s a rollercoaster, but a captivating one. 🎭❤️
Regarding the conversation between Xiao Huan and Prime Minister which Qing'er overheard in the shadow, it actually…
I noticed that using Jueding is a total win-win situation for Xiao Huan, but I didn’t realize that the main purpose of that conversation was actually to plant doubt in the Grand Tutor about the antidote. Yeah, that’s such a brilliant move—Xiao Huan’s scheming is on another level!
I actually really enjoy how consistent are the characters in this drama.Xiao Huan has 2 things he put as a priority…
Best comment, as always. 🌸
The ML… he is truly a capable ruler, wise and responsible, but as a husband… I still struggle to fully agree with him. He bears immense pressure, and yet, in his own flawed way, he tries to be a good husband. His love is quiet, complicated, and sometimes heartbreaking, but it is there.
The FL… oh, how I want to scold her. I’ve rarely seen a heroine so blind, so caught in the dark. Yet, can we really blame her? She has been deceived and sheltered, and her innocence is both her strength and her curse. We have reasons to blame both of them, yet within the bounds of their own lives, their choices feel fair, honest to their hearts, even if they crush ours as viewers. 💔
I adore the bond between the two brothers. Qing’er… he is a treasure. His mother and brother are enemies, yet he manages to navigate both worlds with grace and loyalty. Even when he doubts Xiao Huan as power-hungry, he still helps him when it matters. That bond… it feels real, and it warms the heart.
And Princess Ying… she reminds me of a delicate kitten. Her antics, her bravery, her little gestures in front of Commander Li — all of it is charming, innocent, and endearing.
As for the FL’s father… ah, what a man. He has raised two remarkable children, yet he uses his daughter as a pawn in his schemes. It’s infuriating, but it also makes the story so achingly human — the complexity of love, loyalty, and cruelty tangled together.

And also it is not boring. Otherwise, it was boring. I would have stopped watching it.
