Xanfan

I think this was the cut scene, but I don't like to be reminded that he needed an aphrodisiac?

Completed, really enjoyed it but didn't watch the alternate ending as it would have ruined the plot for me. What I didn't like is that she had to be drunk for her to be passionate and to be kissed, and that he had to have the aphrodisiac effect so they could make it? Like really - why couldn't natural desire for one's beloved be enough? It's almost like an apology for a couple's lovemaking

Thanks for the explanation - was wondering why he was so lowkey for a while

From some angles, Song Yang and the Emperor look very much alike (to me anyway).

Aaargh, what a dumb emperor manipulated by the Li's and the Wei's. I actually feel sorry for him and it looks like his sister can't (not allowed to) talk any sense into him. If I was surrounded by all that scheming I'd also be crying. Most of us are only surrounded by greedy gaslighting aunts and uncles ...

Ok, that's a new one for me - never seen someone decapitate himself, knife must be sharper than FL's butcher knife

Yes, I enjoyed watching the passionate kiss - but why would they show her as drunk? It would have been better if she was sober and desired him as is. We don't need an excuse to kiss, just love for each other.

I'm so happy for Gongsun and the Princess. Finally he got the courage to tell her and to propose and she said yes! Wish they could marry now ... a quiet wedding in a peaceful village somewhere

I'd love to see the new knife set and it's special qualities

Would love them together in a xianxia - they can both look so ethereal and have supernatural powers

He's no weakling - he swooped her up with one arm

So excited for this! I've never cried as much as GMP, even for him because he didn't get his memories transferred like the FL so was just as heartbroken.

So excited to see CXX in a costume drama again - when is release date?

I want to see more episodes, but I also don't want it to end too fast. What else would I watch after this and not be disappointed? Am looking forward to each episode, my internal clock is waking me up just in time.

It's ML's fault for impersonating a weak, always injured husband - she just wanted to protect him. I say bravo for her love for the "weakling" - and she fought better than General Wu and saved his life - I'm sure the entire army is rooting for her not to get punished.

Wow, beats all the former female generals in any series

Now if he'd told her who he was, and as her husband, taught her some military rules (knowing she'd want to take quick action) - he wouldn't have to flog her/himself. Just tell her already!

I agree. Look at the supposedly peaceful negotiations that's resulted in so many unnecessary deaths and unjustified suffering. It all depends on whether you're defending against evil, or evil yourself (talking about current affairs, not this series)

Why use a Goodbye My Princess soundclip?

Sadly the sacrificing of innocent people as collateral damage is a reality which is happening right now if you look at the wars going on.
