Yes it really is something, the people behind the scenes deserve all the appreciation.

The pacing of this drama is just perfect, not to fast and jumping scenes, also not too slow and boring the audience. I can't help but appreciate these things more and more with each episode.

In the previews we see Prince li dies in fire, which I think is fake and planned by him, but in the next preview Ye Ying commits suicide? Do we think she is really gonna die now? If yes then what was the point of having her character in the drama?

I feel like everyone is somewhat pretending and faking things to hide something.

I agree, we really can't figure out if she is faking it or it actually mentally troubled. She was always a complex character but now it is even worse, because it leaves us questioning everything everytime.

None of them actually expected to fall in love when they got married. Both of them had different reasons to marry each other but they eventually couldn't help but start trusting each other and heal each other in the process.
So we can't feel the romantic feeling between them.

I think he knows, because the knowing look he gave Prince Li before leaving Ye mansion said a lot.

I think it was a coincidence, because they showed a past moment between Yeli and her mother planting that tree together, and her mother saying that it will protect from rain and wind. So I think Yeli will take it as her mother's protection.

Oh okay, thanks for the explanation

I absolutely agree with you. I also enjoy those scenes a lot. And in today's episode silence was so very well used

What exactly is the relationship between Yeli's mother and the empress dowager? And how does lishan academy hold so much influence that the empress dowager couldn't ascend the throne without them ?

I must appreciate whoever was incharge of background score for the drama has done an incredible job. They exactly know how to let the scene flow with or without any background sound. There are so many silent scenes yet they speak so much. There's no unnecessary music/sound to fill the scene. Every silence seems intentional. I just love it.

I somehow missed that scene, thanks for telling me

When did this happen?

Because captain li also knows her and even her maid qingyu said so

I am scared for them, when he comes to know the truth, what will he do.

Indeed, I've not come across such well written FL in cdrama for a long time. And hat's off to Bai lu for portraying the character so well, she literally owns the character.

Whatever happened there, has to be something disastrous, because it left such a deep emotional effect on Yeli.

She existed in the past, but in present she is just Yeli's imagination

Every single character has a backstory in this drama, and I can't wait for each one to unfold and the truth coming out.
