He did not love her, it is not love. Not from a modern day moral's perspective nor from an ancient one. He chose the easy way, to sacrifice those who trusted him, those who actually laid down their lives for him. He could just find another way to incorporate Lu family's fortunes yet he chose to annihilate them despite the fact that his queen aka Anran was always loyal to him. He needed to be told about the sadness of loosing a child by Mu Chuan and he even used that to coax Anran and blind her eyes. That is not love, that is manipulation and deceit.
He killed his own brother because he became a fatuous ruler who could not discern right from wrong, so Mu Chuan's criticism was heard like a rebellion to his ears.
Also the reason he married or orchestrated that whole scheme was simply to control her better since he believed that a woman do everything when she was swayed by her feelings.

He killed even his own brother, who he supposedly loved and cherished so much. You don't get any lower than that. You want Anran to fall for such a scum? While watching this I could only wonder what enmity did Anran accumulate in her past life to deserve such a husband yet here you are, cursing her with the same man who caused her so much grief.

Why everyone are so bent upon Muze, yes he is hot but other than that he has nothing to offer to Anran and I don't think he wants to offer anything either. He does not love her, no matter what happens he could only covet her as an object and nothing more. Your whole speculation is just a delusion and Muze does not deserve a redemption.

p.s. My comment is nothing personal, no offense.

A villain for sure, an anti-hero not really, he does not have the justification other than bo-hoo my father doesn't want me to be the king 🙄

He made her the queen only to make sure that he could squeeze Anran's talent to the very last drop before he cleaned off the Lu family. It had nothing to do with love, he didn't have in him to love someone.

I'm amazed with the comments. Like how on earth can you ever want Muze to be the actual male lead. He is a scum. Ungrateful scum who killed his closest kin, never shed a tear for his own son's death, planned every moment between Anran and him to over throw Lu family, killed his father, justified his means in cost of common people.
He literally has no redeeming points to speak, like none, he has no remorse at the end of Anran's first life yet some people thinks he would be willing to fix "mistakes(no mate, they were outright evil deeds)" if he were to remember his past, what a bs.
Are we really watching the same drama, am I the only one who is not delusional?

But that is the catch, he had no remorse even at the very end of her first life. He clearly arranged every moment between them, how could he ever have a sincere heart. I despise those who uses other people's feelings to achieve their means. Only happy ending between them could be Lu Anran killing Mu Ze with her own hands.
Also even he were to love her, he f*cking killed her entire family, let her son's murderer scot free, and even killed his own brother. No amount of fixing or pleading would be enough to deserve an inch of Anran's love. He was never worthy of her and he never will be.

Muze loves only himself, his so called grand endeavors are only a man's greed. He wasn't a fair ruler, good father nor a sincere husband. He even killed his brother, for what, for his fragile ego. He is not interesting but rather disgusting, he has no remorse. I would be fine if he at least spared his brother and has been a benevolent ruler but he treats his "people, common folk" only as a commodity to have, all he ever wanted was to posses whatever he could in the cost of everyone.

May she rest in peace.

I think belief is always between one and its creator, there is no one religion, there is no one truth, we shall finally know when we actually meet our end but till then I advise you not to enforce your truth on someone who has already passed away. She believed in her god and she believed her god would welcome her, so no one, and I mean no one have the right to say the otherwise.
I pray for all the souls that are in pain, that are in need, I pray that silver lining to show up in everyone's lives so that they have another day to live for, but it is my wish, you can't hold onto someone who is already gone in their heart and you can't patronize them to align with your beliefs.

omg, these are beautiful, thank you for the link. 1st one and 4th are my picks :)

I was stumped at first, I felt like I was reading a collage admission question that stuck between math and language section🤣

I was reading the hint in that post and I was like what heck is this, it took me a couple of minutes to figure it out 😂 thanks though

omg, I'm laughing out loud. ahahahahahha. This gold, thank you 😂😂😂😂😂 and here I was sure of of myself that piece of trash had no value as a living being, its always a pleasure to be enlightened :)

You generous soul, I would be thankful if you could share the link and password :)

A noble task indeed. You have blessed our love deprived souls, thank you :) 😂😂

ahahaha, okay. Thanks for the heads up. Btw, just couple of years ago all of the popular/high budget Chinse dramas had sad/tragic endings, I'm so glad that it isn't case anymore.

I second this, I need more affirmation of their happily ever after.

Ending was nice but it almost felt like an illusion, I'm reluctant to believe in it. At this point I've cried way too much to hold on to a silver lining of happiness :(
p.s. does anyone know if the novel has a happy ending or not?

I've been praising every single aspect of this drama since day 1 but I totally missed mentioning the gorgeous illustrations in the intro and outro, every avid anime fan knows not the fast-forward intros yet I hardly come by a quality intro in Chinese dramas but this one is a total jackpot. I can listen the OSTs whole day and look those beautiful illustrations all day too.
