yeah I’m confused too. I’m just glad it’s a HE. Although I rlly don’t know what memories they hold or what timeline they are in at this point lol. I guess the drama rlly tried to show every possibility in any timeline. I think the ending was up to interpretation, probs gives viewers hope that there is a happy ending in one timeline and typically as with most dramas, their ability to remember other timelines/life usually comes from dreams. Or some may interpret it as that WZQ holds memories from all timelines cos of the phone. I think the ending leaves room for viewers to decide the meaning for themself, but at the same time, acts as a censorship to discourage the idea that time travelling or communicating to the past/future is possible irl.

Oh rlly?! I watched the Empress of China and knew that that was based off history but I didn’t realise that this drama was trynna model it too.

Ppl in the family blaming her and doubting her explanation but as soon as JL mentions the duke as her witness. Everyone decides to stop investigating the matter any further. Like obv one of the daughters has to be lying LOL so if JL has two alibis, then how about we start holding the other two sisters accountable for their false allegations or false claims of what happened. Sigh the grandmother trynna keep the peace in the family and we get no fun in exposing the sisters.

wow I didn’t realise that WXY was the same person as Meng Xiao Dong in Amidst a snow storm of love and also he was the ML in Your sensibility my Destiny. It’s been so long since I have watched his drama.

I started reading the Chinese version and it was a completely different storyline (not about a tea farm at all), even the characters were different. But it was much more spicy.

lol the scene where the FL becomes a goddess and starts battling in the sky during the Qin competition reminded me of TTEOTM ahaha

FL just casually walking into the bathroom when ML is showering or taking a bath HAHAH and the ML not caring and enjoying it LOL

I’m waiting for the Rise of Ning to air, I think that one we will be good too!!

Is Jiang Li’s voice dubbed? It doesn’t sound like Yang Chao Yue.

Disappointed by the direction the story is going in. I feel like this drama was heavily restricted in the romance department due to 1. cross dressing/hidden identity, 2. cold personality ML, ML’s revenge and belief that the can’t protect her. I started watching this drama bc I was a fan of the FL from the romance of hua rong and I saw the posters for this drama and the visuals looked rlly good with the CP. idk why I was expecting some sweet beautiful romance in the snow LOL. And after seeing the previews, I’m not excited for the annoying troupes towards the final episodes.

Lady Revenger Returns From the Fire didn’t have a strong enough revenge element. This drama on the other hand… WOW insane

Saw a preview, no wayyy, the emperor ends up throwing the ML in jail and the FL is forced to marry the emperor in exchange for the ML’s freedom!! I can’t believe the emperor becomes that resentful and actually evil bc of jealousy.

ML is the greenest flag!!

Looks like there’s gonna be a happy ending according to the airring calendar. Also I have noticed SoHu usually does happy endings with thriller, mystery, romance dramas like this. e.g Mysterious Love, Love of Replica. Oh and ofc the theme where the FL is the ML’s light ahaha

Oh and I just realised the actress playing the FL had a role in Love of Replica.

Regarding the letter contents, it was hard to interpret what it said since it was blurred in the edges and it used traditional Chinese characters. It contained quite a few idioms that had very deep meaning. Essentially it just implied that; we will meet again, while you have won for now, it’s hard to say in the future who will win or lose.

There was more, but again I couldn’t read the whole thing properly and tbh you would probs need a Chinese scholar to translate the vocab used lol. So I don’t think ordinary audience members were meant to be understand it even if u spoke/understood Chinese due to the depths of its content.

I think RM looks rlly good in this drama, her face and styling suits her perfectly for the role of Yi Ning. I hope haters won’t come for her again like in The Longest Promise :(

To me it seemed like the events that occurred in the half of the FL's life as Luo Ai Lian, was just a series of misfortunate, unlucky events. Yes it's clear that nevertheless, the step mum and the two sisters all had evil intent against Luo Ai Lian and would have harmed her sooner or later so that they can seize power. But I'm just stating that what happened in the lead up to fire was not intentional. Rather, the FL was just caught in the crossfire of other people's schemes and no one was scheming directly against her. The death of young master Du was an accident. No-one knew about his illness and that drinking alcohol or getting too overly emotional could lead to his death. Luo Shuang Shuang, didn't intend to be called away by the dad or that the FL would be in the room instead of the wine brewery. No one tried to frame the FL for young master Du 's death, rather the FL admitted it herself that was she there at the time of incident. Luo Shuang Shuang did blame the FL for the father's death, but that was bc she genuinely believed it was the FL since she saw the FL with the dad last. Luo Xue Er had no intent to frame the FL either, in fact, she clearly tried to plant evidence against Luo Shuang Shuang instead by placing the fragrance powder in Luo Shuang Shuang's room. No one anticipated that the FL would discover the evidence and confront Luo Shuang Shuang which almost led to her demise.

A real life age gap is not necessarily an issue for me unless it's noticeable in the drama. For me, in this drama, indeed it looked like the ML was from a different generation of c dramas. As in, I think his looks, facial features, hair styling, acting reminded me of those 2014 or 2017 political, romance melodramas based in the royal palace with 60+ episodes. I think the age gap between the leads was not my first thought, but it was that the ML didn't fit into this type of plot.

On the other hand, I watched Yong An Dream where there was an age gap as well, but in that drama I think the leads were well paired and had chemistry - I did not sense the generational difference between them and I thoroughly enjoyed that drama.

FL’s real identity will be revealed by the bad guys including Prince Yi and she will have to carry the offence of stealing someone else’s identity and killing her father. This is probs gonna drag out the revenge and also her conflicted feelings for the ML due to her current identity.
