regarding to xiewei's condition, it translates to dementia in subtitles which i wouldn't say is too accurate since…
It is PTSD. A trauma triggered whenever he surrounded by snow and it complete distressful . But PTSD is modern term so they need to find a better word, even though Dementia is not correct but overall you get the idea.
I thought in Chinese drama they don’t like reincarnation or was it something else I don’t remember?
As religious concept, Reincarnation is not time travel to the past but soul reborn with all your karma deeds, good or bad. Your sins will get back to you and you get what you sow. Time travel means you just wiped out all of your mistake. That's the reason prohibited to use Reincarnation for time travel.
will the Yan family still fall in this timeline? please tag your answer!
Yan family remains same and destined to be doomed. The difference is FL treat Yan Lin better now. So I assume Yan Lin will not become berserk and crazy later on .
Actually Xuening don't want associate with anyone, she don't want go to palace anymore. But she scared Xie Wei…
Yes, she just wanted a simpler life cause she think become Empress do not worth it if she die tragically at the end. But eventually she realize there is more than meet eyes in everything.
Even though she decided to not do anything but everything around her still happening. A political conspiracy still running and it will become same as bloody as before. So her objective now it to prevents a blood shed, to achieve that somehow she needs to dig deeper into palace politic which she never been involved before. She have knowledge when certain thing will happen so she have upper hand.
When she was evil Empress, she was just simpleton that sleep with all men.
first of all, just wanted to say I CANNOT believe this is actually out. been waiting since forever. second though,…
Actually Xuening don't want associate with anyone, she don't want go to palace anymore. But she scared Xie Wei the most because what he capable doing on her past life. He is extremely manipulative and unpredictable.
Xue Ning betrayed Yan Lin on the past, Her betrayal over Yan Lin also the one killed her on previous life. So she feels guilty and wanted to changes it.
All men treat FL like garbage when she was evil. She forced kiss, got snuck on bed, verbally abused, choked, touched inappropriately. I think all those men loved FL but because FL was a terrible person , they shown their feeling in terrible way as well.
