They are doing a great job showing the miserable lifes of the women. And sure, they are all making life harder for FL and deserve punishment. But I still feel sorry for them. The concubine has a wretched standing in life, always second to the lawful wife. And now she is getting kicked out with just a bit of money to fuck off wherever. While the wife is stuck with a miserable husband who betrayed her and came crawling back into her bed. Sure, the concubine is gone- the memories are not. And now her son will suffer for the sins of his father- had the father not taken in the concubine… had he treated both wife and concubine with more respect…
Even Madame Zuo, killing her own wretched brother and herself, rather then go back to the evil grandmother. What a sad life she had. So much suffering getting passed around, while the men are useless. Except ML but he better put a ring on FL asap.
Guys I feel really dumb and need a few things spelled out for me 😂 I am rewatching the first few episodes,…
She ripped them up and they used the pages to wrap the flowers and then covered that with ribbons. So all of them were accomplices, all of them were interested in keeping this secret. Lady Zuo wants leverage. Her brother could improve her own standing in the family. She doesn’t care for Tingyun, only her family.
Can censorship approval be revoked? Why the immediate rush to start airing the show?
Thanks for your detailed answer, this behind the scenes stuff is so fascinating. And stressful, I could never work in this industry in China! There are so many hurdles to see your work on tv.
At this point, I am only here for the second couple. First couple is too scary-smart.
Vice minister Cui is supposed to be smart. He should know Bu Shu Lin would be in trouble if everyone found out she wasn‘t the *male* heir. What is his exit plan here?
And did she send him their version of a porn magazine by accident??
So, ML is a foster son& heir to the throne, FL is adopted? At least that removes the incest vibes with Mo Li. And the first wife has a murdered first love but kinda cares for her BIL, too. Who is getting nerfed by his entire family due to ableism. At least ML got the hint and tried to make up for his past mistake with the stirrups.
Is Li Mao, the female lead, Jia Yu's cousin or half brother?
His wife accused him of fathering Li Mao, so definitely half brother. Which makes their romance awkward and it makes sense he would rather marry her off to the general.
MLs harem situation is giving me a headache. So he has a maid but she is his doctor. And he has a wife but she is low-key in love with his older brother. He has a son who may or rather may NOT be his biological child. He kinda adopted a bunch of dancers and pretends they are his concubines. And now he is married to FL but she is in love with her half-brother?
Who am I supposed to be rooting for? He called a hitman on his wife (by accident??). His wife refuses to divorce him out of ugly pettiness. They are both toxic, he is just presenting a pretty front- and to think the 2 young women knew they‘d have to walk on eggshells around him because of his ~mood.
He is pretty but I would not like to see anyone married to him. She is up there on the crazy-hot scale, better be off single.
Wait, Wayu has been a 24 year old virgin and within 4 days of loosing his cherry he introduces cat play and rides Krit like a cowboy? I mean, go get it, tiger, I guess.
I can appreciate the linguistics behind one word meaning *daddy* in Bangkok slang and *boss* in Chiang Rai. Trust Sila, who walks in both city and countryside, to get a kick out of that!
BUT!! Good lord, Sila, what are those hours you are forcing on your workers?! At first I thought he was just messing with Saithorn but he would quickly find out the others are not slaving 7/12 on the farm?
Can someone please explain to me how the FL is the granddaughter of Wang Ru Jun (the grandmother) when the FL's…
I was trying to map out their family tree but it makes no sense. Maybe the translations are off? Or the grandma gets called grandma simply because she is the oldest woman around? Kinda like older women get called auntie without actually being an aunt.

They got amazing child actors for sure!
