Ah thanks, I skimmed over that part and went right to the caning lol

Book Spoilers: Continuing with my previous spoiler since I'm trying to read the google translated book. which isn't the easiest to read. LBY and SS have now been engaged for many months, and their wedding is planned for March. That means they would have been engaged for 1+ years before the wedding and this whole time, SS is training in the palace. Her and LBY bicker a lot and he is always mad at her because she is thoughtless towards him even though everything he is doing is to protect her and for her good. However, she finds him a overbearing and overprotective but their feelings grow more as the months go by and they get to know each other more. I just finished the part where LBY was mad at SS, and he got the emperor to cane him to get SS to see that her actions can lead to him being punished. I skimmed the part how he got the emperor to go along with the plan but SS was really frightened, crying and pleading. This was the point when SS really felt she had to be good to LBY and to stop making him upset. She seems more unruly and rough in the book than the drama and LBY is softer and gentler than the novel. The scene of her kissing LBY's temple at a banquet should follow this so many of the trailer scenes happen before the wedding since they spend a lot of time together before the wedding. I can imagine his revenge will be really devastating for SS because this whole time, she is basically slowly being groomed on how to be a good wife to LBY. I have a feeling his revenge will take place later in the second season but I'll know better once I am further in the book!

How many times has LBY saved SS? Fire, her fight when she punched herself, horse-back riding, bridge, village when the rebels attacked, escorting her into the city, pagoda and he stuck up for her multiple times. Am I missing any?

Wu Lei rolls off shingles really well! When he rolled off with SS, it totally reminded me of TLB haha

Wow Episode 21 moved me to tears - really good acting between SS and LY! I find this show is filmed in such a way that some scenes are sooo good, you want to savour every second and you don't want to blink or we might miss something LOL!

There is one scene when LBY asks if he can sleep over and SS asked, is that allowed when we aren't married?? lol

That scene was awesome!

I'm reading the book and it seems SS takes quite a long time to start developing feelings for LBY. After they are engaged, she is sent to the palace to learn all the skills she missed growing up. LBY picks her up every morning and brings her to the palace and also takes her home so they see each other everyday. She's been training in the palace for about 6 months now and it's the summer, and their marriage date still hasn't been set because it sounds like normally they have marriage ceremonies at the end of the year or something. LBY gets mad at her quite a few times because she is quite aloof when it comes to love and affection and she hasn't learned how to be attentive, thoughtful, and caring. She was reprimanded in the recent chapter that she isn't treating LBY well and that's why he is upset with her. He is always thoughtful towards her but she never even invites him in her house for dinner and sends him home hungry. She finally has a realization and realizes she has been wrong and she tells LBY upfront that she will now make it her first priority to be good to him. He is so moved by this that his eyes glistened and he embraces her tightly for the first time and he felt sooo happy <3

I rewatched the scenes too and I started noticing CSS's expressions. She definitely gets a bit nervous everytime she sees LBY and she acts more politely and properly. I can see she admires him and knows he's a prominent general of high ranking, so she seems intimidated by him. I really liked her look when she got escorted into the city and when she received the royal edict. She has always been treated like scum for her whole life, but the only times she's experienced such grand and royal treatment is of course from our favorite LBY! I think she probably could never fathom someone like him falling in love with her! I can't wait to see what her reaction is when she realizes how much he is in love with her. He is already "spoiling" her with all sorts of favoritism even though he hasn't even confessed. <3

This drama is very comical in parts but it's contrasted by pretty violent and gory fight scenes. The same goes for the characters. There are some very sweet characters like 3rd uncle, his wife, SS Dad, the emperor, LBY's guards who are all a bit comical and light but then there are some very dark, cruel and mean characters. It's like a comedy and melodrama mixed together. It's pretty refreshing and different. The pacing is a bit slow but I am enjoying it a lot. I have to skip the grandma scenes though because I can't stand her wailing and whining. I hope they release more episodes because a 4 day gap is long.

What a good drama so far! It's so neat to see "Xiao Nong Nu" and "Yang Guo" from two different versions of Condor Heros to pair up in a drama! I'm trying to imagine if they filmed Condor Heros together since they are actually the same age - only a month apart! Cecilia is so elegant and I love her voice. She would make such a beautiful voiceover but of course she is too busy for that. Every scene is so beautifully filmed and the drama really makes you feel you're in the Song dynasty. I love the camera angles and it's different and refreshing compared to other dramas. I also really enjoy when the ML and FL talk. They are so soft-spoken and polite even when they bicker, even their body language is unlike other dramas. I find most other dramas when the FL and ML bicker, it gets so annoying but here they are more flirting. All the scenes with them are so enjoyable!

She is such an unlikable character and serves zero purpose, except I guess stab BFX in the back...like literally

I actually stopped the moment BFX got stabbed to come here to vent. I thought she got in some super fight with someone badass and got poisoned. I was expecting something spectacular - but instead she literally got stabbed from behind from the most useless character in the entire show. Omg...

I feel aghast that BFX got injured from an act of complete stupidity. Seriously, the entire Tiansheng Men are so dumb! There's not a single, intelligent person in that whole Sect. How did they help cultivate such an intelligent BFX when the master is dumb and all the disciplines have zero trust in each other and intelligence?? It's actually unbelievable how useless TianShang Sect has been - they should have just stayed in the prison the whole time.

Which site are you guys watching this drama?
