I loved this drama but it did feel a little bit of a Mary Sue rags to riches where everything the FL every recommended or touched became gold with like no issues and everyone loved her and trusted her. It became hard to root for her because she never failed even though you could see that her wealth was built from hard work and persistence. Also while I loved the romance between the ML/FL, it got to be very annoying when they have like three kisses in the whole drama but they get together in episode 10? The drama kept dragging out why they weren't getting married to the point where it felt absolutely ridiculous. They were together for around 13 years and they don't even kiss till like year eight? They go on business trips together and stay in different rooms?

I love Zhao Ye's acting but all of her dramas feel like she plays adults in their 20s/30s that act like two people in a teenage romcom where holding hands in the hallway is like scandal!

As someone who has watched him in FP before seeing any of his romcoms, the fact that he’s a romcom king is shocking tbh 😂

He was a great villain in FP, he should definitely play more complex roles.

Are you…talking of story of kunning palace?? She had a marriage and emotional affairs with several guys before she gets together with Xie Wei?

She was a teenager when this was filmed and that's gross. It doesn't matter that she's 18 now, she will look like a child in this show because she was one during filming.

There is a romance tag in the genre so yes there will be.

My theory is that his growth is emotional and her growth is “physical” not actually but like into a general. So the story sets the base and is more interested in showing how they’re changing then proving where it’s coming from. Hopefully as it moves forward we will get those fight scenes to balance out the emotional weight of the show.

She’s a true to this himbo through and through 😂

Curious what’s going to happen to her general title. Is she going to retire and he’s going to become the ruler? I can’t imagine the emperor being thrilled that two of his generals decide to step down at the same time

They also did some sparring next to waterfalls in BBM LMAO

People in the comments want her to hold out but I'm with Changyu, there's no way I have the resolve to hold on to anger if a man is looking at me with eyes like that. (Especially if he is that level of FINE).

For many minutes I pondered a strong sleeping pill so that the next day would arrive faster.

Since she is the first princess, she is the eldest girl child of the previous emperor?

He's initiated every kiss scene so far from the first to now. He's been whipped.

He's just not unhinged enough for that T_T. You need to watch the biting in Shadow Love. Or the unhinged kisses in SOKP. That man was unhinged.

In the book, his dialogue is "I'm scared of how strong your slaps are" "Stop kissing me then" "Well maybe you stop hitting me so hard" implying that he's NOT going to stop kissing her lmao.

I desperately want a scene where he throws the divorce decree into the fire because he's not signing that and he doesn't want it around him.

She told him her Orange Peel Candy stash was running low >_< but yes I think she's still processing wtf is going on and I don't blame her. Wym she thawed out a man she found in the snow and he ended up being the Marquis of Wu'an??

Rewatching story of Kunning Palace because Zhang Linghe is ALSO unhinged in SOKP. Watching tiktok edits. Moving between here and reddit. Refreshing tiktok to see more edits.

Friend, I've never related more. I've been so sleep deprived bc of this show T_T

I've tried roping people in by sending them photos of Zhang Linghe but they are confused and not on board T_T.

WHY DON'T THEY SEE IT?? I've never seen a more attractive man in my LIFE.
