Oh please tell me that nail ended up in the Empress's neck and they'll leave her buried in her mausoleum. It's…
Not quite. In the novel, acting under Xiahou Dan’s orders, Bei Zhou gives her a poisonous pill (obtained from Tu Er) that doesn’t kill her immediately. Afterwards, Xiahou Dan also instructs Xiao Tiancai to make sure she doesn’t die too quickly, partly to prolong her suffering and partly to maintain stability iirc
In the end, both Xiahou Dan/Zhang San and Yu Wanyin/Wang Cuihua return to the real world, just at different times.…
Yes. In the novel, Zhang San transmigrates in 2016, while Wang Cuihua transmigrates in 2026. So when she returns to the real world, ten years have already passed since he came back, making them around the same age
Can someone tell is this show gonna finish the whole story or have a sequel to it like the donghua!???? Thanks…
I’m assuming the drama will cover the entire novel, especially since we’re already nearly halfway through the story. Season 1 of the donghua adapted about half of the novel, and it looks like season 2 will wrap up the rest
We all know about the censorship issue in relation to transmigration novels , which inevitably means they will…
In the end, both Xiahou Dan/Zhang San and Yu Wanyin/Wang Cuihua return to the real world, just at different times. They each go back to the exact moment they transmigrated, with all their memories completely intact. So thankfully, no amnesia arcs 🥳or comas iirc
1. Is the Crown Prince Zhang San's(Male Lead) son?2. I'm assuming Luo Zi Zhuo is playing both young Zhang San…
You’ve already gotten some great answers! Just to add to them,
1. Yes, the Crown Prince is Zhang San/Xiahou Dan’s biological son 2. You’re right. The novel is written this way as well, likely to misdirect readers a bit xD 3. The Crown Prince’s mother is never named in the novel either. For the Empress Dowager, her sole purpose was to bear an heir for Xiahou Dan. I assume she was disposed of afterwards. This is exactly what Xiahou Dan feared about having a child—once there was an heir, the Empress Dowager would no longer need him. She would simply have a new puppet to groom and control. Unfortunately, it still happened—he was drugged, incapacitated, and essentially SAed
There also seems to be some confusion (in this thread in general). Shanyi from the Yan Kingdom is not the Crown Prince’s mother. She was sent to assassinate Xiahou Dan and ultimately became the twenty-seventh person he killed. After her death, he stopped counting
I'm surprised they changed the fact that FL threatened Mei to go poison Consort Shu (and have her purposefully…
Agreed. The first time she kills someone—and then vomits afterward—was such a pivotal event for Yu Wanyin’s character. Just like Xiahou Dan, if she wants to survive in the palace, getting her hands dirty is inevitable. When she later learns the truth about Xiahou Dan, that shared experience could’ve given her a better understanding of him and the choices he made to survive because she’d been forced into the same position, confronted with the same kind of difficult decision. But it looks like, at least for now, the drama is trying to keep Yu Wanyin’s hands clean… I’m really glad the donghua stayed faithful to the novel in this.
Yes. She will die quite miserably. Under Xiahou Dan’s direction, she will be fed a poison that doesn’t kill her immediately. And afterwards, iirc he also instructs Xiao Tiancai to ensure that she doesn’t die quickly to prolong her suffering.
Can anyone who has read the novel tell me about the sfl?who is shewill she start liking the ml later or help the…
Xie Yonger will never have romantic feelings for Xiahou Dan, but she does begin helping Yu Wanyin and Xiahou Dan after she’s essentially forced to miscarry Xiahou Bo’s child; when Yu Wanyin shows her that Xiahou Bo never truly cared about her, it more or less changes everything for her. She later secretly reveals a pivotal scheme of Xiahou Bo’s to Yu Wanyin, which helps to save Xiahou Dan’s life.
just finished ep 14. Maybe unpopular opinion, but I really like Guangming (Xiaorou’s husband) and hope they stay together until the end! I found it so cute when he played upbeat music to wake his wife up for example xD But it looks like the story might be trying to set up Xiaorou with Huaicong and imo it seems forced atm. I just hope that whatever happens, the development feels natural, not contrived, and Xiaorou gets a HE~
I’m finding it a bit exasperating that criticism or dislike of Song Yi Meng is being construed as misogyny on some platforms. Apparently, disliking her character = disliking complex female characters 🙃 Or it somehow means you’re putting Nan Heng on a pedestal. Those kinds of assumptions just feel so baseless. Why can’t people disagree without resorting to personal attacks? Just needed to vent a bit. I really appreciate the range of perspectives— including the ones I don’t agree with— in this thread 💙
(But agreed she needs to die soonn)
