I really love the FL here, too. I find her to be so mature and sensible. Like when she found out she was being…
Agree, though I didn't really think much of her in the beginning, I am really impressed with her after she realises her feelings. She knows what she want and has he own smart opinions. The ML at the point is rather weak, don't really like him. Episode 17 is my least fav so far.
My OKAY fam! so nice to see u here (= i was feeling empty when the show ended but im glad i found this cute drama..our…
No problem at all if it helps and if I have time. C-Dramas many a time make the FL get into trouble due to stupidity and need others to bail her out. Many times they even "uglify" the FL. For MY and GT, I am actually super crazy about MY and not so for GT LOL. Ues I hope it does why with 15 episodes left, so far no boring moments, and it is really good that she has her own opinion. This ML on the other hand is so easily swayed and not forthcoming at all. He wants the FL to be truthful to her yet doesn't listen to her when she talks.

Episode 17
The hooded man promised the lady on the ice bed to bring her on a tour when she wakes up. His men reported that XY went to worship his brother and XY suspected that his brother was killed by the emperor. They know of the birthday celebration XY prepared for CY, and knew they had to seize the chance to capture her.
XY came to fetch CY and is filled with pride seeing her in the outfit he gave her. The onlookers were envious of them.
LJ went to learn swordplay from XY’s teacher and was told to learn the special skill from NN. NN was reluctant because of their previous encounters and LJ explained it was by accident that he saw her in her undergarments at the courtesan house. NN told him that she had worked to please the XY and does not care to practice anymore since XY is not into her. LJ admired her persistence in love.
Cash rewards was given to onlookers for CY’s birthday celebration, forming a crowd. NN is sadden when she saw the couple and LJ claimed that if XY doesn’t want her, he will take her. With that comment he got a tight slap from NN. NN and XY grew up together and during the war she would pray that XY to return safely to marry her. Now he is back he married the princess instead. LJ believed that NN is not really pinning for XY, but it was merely her stubbornness.
XY was hiding away from CY to observe the surrounding for danger as he feared for the safety of CY. Bai mentioned he should not be worried now since that according to plan they will ease the security only when they reach the celebration venue.
The venue is a mansion gifted to XY by a nobleman when he saved his family during the North war. This property is really sought after and famous, and it is not easy even to arrange a visit. XY intended to give this mansion to CY as her birthday present.
In fact it was due to place being secluded and surrounded by mountains that XY and Bai knows it is a good spot to lure the hooded man’s men. The hooded man planned for his men to enter using the fireworks as cover, and he hopes that this time they will succeed so he can revive the lady on the ice bed.
CY intended to take the opportunity to confess her feelings to XY during the celebration, void the divorce letters and live happily ever after. As she was practicing her speech, NN appeared wearing the same outfit as her. The abductors appeared at this moment and got confused with them wearing the same; decided to capture both. NN fought off the abductors and XY in order to camouflage herself changed into the abductor’s outfit and was forced to leave with them.
XY discovered that plan has gone wrong and CY is in danger. He ordered for a search rescue. XC appeared on hearing what happened, gave XY a punch and a piece of mind. They made a bet that whoever finds CY first, he will have to right to be with her.
The abductors discovered the identity of CY during the journey back. They tied her up and she tried her best to delay them for XY to catch up. He managed to do so and a confrontation ensues.
My OKAY fam! so nice to see u here (= i was feeling empty when the show ended but im glad i found this cute drama..our…
Nice to see you here as well! I was just watching an Netflix interview with the trio moments ago! I guess this is a good backup though it probably cannot fill up the emptiness especially with the bad Eng Sub that I am hearing so often. Sorry that I am only doing the Eng recap for some episodes. If you are at episode 12, you have 6-7 more episodes of sweetness to go before needing to switch to the emotional mode. This show is really quite different from others whereby I'll find the FL questionable as C-Dramas often tend to portray them as so. I find the FL more "direct" than the ML in this... abit like our MY as compared to GT. :D
Agree. He was too engrossed in his own thoughts and totally oblivious about what CY was sharing with him. He only…
Yes you are right, she didn't know about the gravity of the situation and probably thought that the ML is just unsure of his feelings unlike herself who is already sure. Should understand at episode 20.
Each of them have different priority, the FL being the secret of thr stone and the ML being the death of his brother which at this point they have yet to link up.
Darn! The show is starting to be sad... :'( Really really like the character of the FL, even much more than the ML. She's so strong, mature and understanding, really unlike those silly FLs in other dramas of similar genre.
The feeling of wanting to quickly know the development but yet know sadness is imminent. :(
It seem the female lead already give her heart to male lead in ep 17 & 18 right? She happy after he kissed her…
Yes the setup that got ML into danger actually worked in the in the ML's favor as he once saved her again. However towards the end the SML found out so he is bound to do something. The gap is because he needed to find out if the emperor is responsible for the brother's death and he asked for a month to investigate. He wanted to keep a distance. What I am not happy is that the woman you love is hanging by a rope because of some stupid trap you set... instead of pulling her to safety you keep asking about someone who is dead. Sure it affects the FL as well but that shouldn't be the reaction.
Just completed both episodes 17-18, ep. 17 whole episode expecting something bad to happen and the sequence of events was rather peculiar :( and I repeat bloody Mr Bai, so incompetent or just trying to murder? Thankful in ep. 18 it turned out well and super sweet! However the stupidity of Mr Bai rubbed off on the ML? After IOTNBO this the another I felt sorry for the FL and wanna #%&# the ML.
Thank youuuu sooo mucchh!!! Do you have your own blog that i can follow and read all these drama recaps? hee hee..…
Ah so sorry I only did these recaps as there were some requests due the Eng subs being horrendous. I didn't do it for all episodes, only 5,6,7 on top of the above. I'd also posted it in the episode guides. :)
Episode 15CY decided to sing their childhood song on stage in order to draw XC out in the courtesan house. XY…
Episode 16
CY insisted that she didn’t know who the abductors were and XY wanted her to return home for her safety. CY refused fearing she may endanger the household since she is the target. XY suspect that CY is holding on to something that the abductors want. CY could only think the she is the Emperor’s adopted daughter and perhaps they wanted something from the Emperor? XY then sent her back to the palace to rest.
LJ found the same totem on the dead men matching to that from Song Mansion, XY suspected that CY abductors are linked to his brother’s death. XY was seen talking to his sleeping aunt that he will request the emperor to let him take over his brother’s position in the palace. He knew that his aunt would be mad if she finds out but he needs to do this for a purpose.
CY’s teacher came to visit her upon hearing about the abduction attempt. CY thinks they might have been her father’s enemies, but her teacher cannot recall him having any. Even the Emperor and himself owes her father a lot. The teacher advised CY to return to Xue mansion for her own safety. However she was afraid the aunt may recall her pig transformation and thus the teacher handed her a bottle of portion that will make the aunt forget if she consumes it. The emperor must not know that the stone is in CY.
XY discovered that CY’s maid is behind aphrodisiac incident. Her excuse is to help XY and CY consummate their marriage. XY seemed rather pleased at this intention and let her off to be punished by CY instead. XY went to the palace to look for CY and informed that he has taken over his brother and in charge of guarding the palace. He wished that XY will trust him more. CY feared that she may scare XY away if she tells him about the stone.
XY and LJ then visited where his brother stayed when he was alive and felt very nostalgic.
That evening, XY saw some palace maids crying and burning paper with the word "Yun Concubine" at a pavilion. He learnt that she was once the emperor’s favorite but was executed when she was discovered to have a relationship with another man. This incident was not to be mentioned again and it seemed that she was often seen with an imperial guard. XY seemed to know something when he learnt that she is called “Fei Xue”. An exhilarated CY saw XY and they had a meal together and want to tell him her secret. She revealed that her father had a stone that followed the emperor to war and can foresee the future. However the stone was missing when the father died and that it has gone into her body. If it is used, she will turn into the animals in the Chinese Zodiac. The Emperor was looking for the stone and in order to protect her, this was being kept a secret. She felt sorry for hiding it from the emperor who brought her up. XY seemed trouble by the information he gathered earlier, he suspected his brother was killed in the hands of the emperor.
The next day, Bai told XY the totem is an ancestral symbol of “Qingyun” Sect who were nobles that does dirty work for others. It seemed that the temple that was burned down with his brother killed in it was a cover up and his brother might have been killed by the emperor. Bai suggested to use CY as bait to lure the abductors, as the relationship between CY and XY will be complicated if the emperor was really the killer.
Then we see CY hugging XY who told her that he would fetch her home the next day as it is her birthday. They also prepared some nice clothes for her, however, to make her stand out if the abductors strike.
