Yeah I think it revealed to FL that she doesn't know him as well as she thought she did. Kind of setting the stage for him returning to his "true" persona as the Marquis

That was a very good guess without having read the novel

Wellll 👀

It went from a really sweet scene to angry fast. It was kind of whiplash but I think it was done to show more of XY’s full character. He’s mostly been a green flag this whole time and everyone that truly knows him is shocked he is so kind and gentle . This scene shows his immaturity and anger issues when he doesn’t get his way. As soon as she said divorce he turned cold. FCY was shocked too because he hasn’t really been this way to her before.

Then insulted her and kissed her again 🤦‍♀️

It pulls you in!

It was a fun watch

Have you seen A Dream Within A Dream? They have a scene making fun of this where the FL and ML jump off a cliff and he's like "Are you insane we will die!" and she's basically like "nah no one ever dies from this" lol

I think it's the order he did things in. He was rude and lashed out at her instead of confessing his feelings and asking her to join him. Even when he was asking he basically said "if you stay here you will end up with a snake (Song Yan) so you're better off coming with me" still kind of insulting her even when asking her to come with him

Yeah I liked that they showed him returning to his Marquis persona the closer he got to leaving. Though it was a little funny to see him shy and nervous about kissing her one episode and then forcibly kissing her twice without a care. In the novel she hits him out of surprise but I like that they changed it to have more of an emotional meaning. She was justified in slapping him

Yeah he does end up being raised by the rival prince but Lord Changxin believes him to be his real son. As you pointed out, it's very complicated haha. I've read a lot of spoiler posts on here, on reddit, and parts of the novel to piece together what I know.

There is also this reddit post that has each character by the episode they are introduced and then adds updates as new information is revealed. https://www.reddit.com/r/CDramaFlashCards/comments/1rgdiet/zhu_yu_%E9%80%90%E7%8E%89_chasing_jadepursuit_of_jade/

Crown Prince Chengde is his real father so that's probably what he meant. He is slowly revealing his true background to the viewers, but the full explanation won't come out until later

It’s really good! But you will definitely want to binge it so I recommend waiting till more episodes are out

The sister survives to the end, in the novel she does spend some time at the military camp. I don't remember about the 2 neighbors.

No, Qi has been gone since they were young children and also has worn a mask for years since he was badly burned in a fire. If Zheng had seen him before it would have been with the mask on and darker hair

You're welcome! I think he just means the man who raised him, but he did mention "from when I was the crown prince" so I believe he is aware

He is the son of the old crown prince who died 16 years ago. He should have been the emperor but through a lot of complicated and yet to be revealed plot he ended up being raised by the enemy prince.

I haven’t read the novel but according to others who have, she believes up until seeing him in his generals uniform. I think it’s meant to show that she is simple (not in a bad way) and takes him at his word. Her small town world is not full of a lot of intrigue and manipulation so I can see why she wouldn’t suspect anything. But I’m sure this will make the hurt she feels at his lies that much worse.

Yeah he's not even a grey area kind of likeable type of psycho...he's just insane and creepy
