Unfortunately, it aired in 2026, so expectations are higher than in those years. So, a low rating is quite expected for most viewers who have watched better xianxia dramas.

Gelin liking of him is caused by Yeye's words and actions towards her. Changyue likes him because they were betrothed, making him her fiancé. So Yeye needs to let the sisters know who he likes and set boundaries instead of giving false hope to them.

I think the problem is yeye, because from the start, I got the feeling he was giving hope to both sisters. Sometimes he cares too much for Gelin in front of Changyue. His actions and words will make Ge Lin think he loves her not her sister. I can see Changyue loves him because he is her fiancé, so to me Yeye seems like a playboy.

Oooh, hopefully they adapt it in the drama

The synopsis of this drama is giving a sad ending

That's what I was thinking too. Remember she was exposed to such a deadly plague, carried the bodies and buried them, and she's the only one who isn't affected by such? Even though she's the FL, they should let the audience know why she was special. Not the plot armour excuse

For real🤦‍♀... and they want us to brush it off like nothing, please writers don't take us like fools😹

When I saw the coconut shells turned into plant pots, I wanted to slap Qin Cang soo bad cos what was he expecting from such a father? They made him seem like a simp fr😂😂. He could just betray his dad when he was sent to the borders for weapon embezzlement; he wasted such a great opportunity🤦‍♀

She can't send letters to the mountain; all the letters she was writing were never sent over. The drama clearly shows that the mountain was sealed, so no one can enter or leave the place unless they have the ED or the Emperor's permission.

By the way, who is MD?

Lol 😂😂, your question is valid in criticising such an obvious plot hole.
Besides, how come she wasn't affected by the plague when she buried them? I know she was isolated, but when she was exposed to it directly, when talking to her maid and master Helai. Writers wrote the plague to be deadly, as everyone died because of it. Then our FL survived it without any explanation of why her.

I think, regarding the edict part, the empress dowager did nothing to investigate how Ye Li obtained the real edict, even though the marquis had informed her he had taken care of it. As a villain character, she's too comfy not to investigate this matter and know who betrayed her. There were lots of signs on the consort's face and her distance for her start of mistrust, and I thought as a smart villain, she could send someone to spy on her. So yeah, I agree that we have many plot holes in the drama.

I personally have no problem with separation; my biggest issue is the way it happened. The drama spent some time on their romantic development, bonding and emotional conversations. However, FL's decision to hide the truth undermines the development built, making the breakup feel forced rather than natural. This shows inconsistency in narration and poor pacing in this drama.

I know🤣🤣, just wanted to give BOD to writers and directors

Maybe the writers wanted to pass information to female viewers not to trust a man's sweet words. They were actually thinking of women out there not to live in delulu even when you have been lonely for so long. Never fully depend on a man's words who claims to love you; always leave a way out for yourself.
Also, writers made FL not communicate how lonely she felt when she was at Lishan Mountain. How can FL expect ML to know everything when she keeps everything to herself, and he himself has also been written to have a painful past😄
That aside, I blame the production team for many contradictory scenes and actions I have seen in this drama. No one watched and felt that their conversations and later actions were not in sync?

What if Duke Hua is the biggest villain and he just decided to delay his arrival for them to be killed?

That part of the princess's assassination was poorly investigated. I felt I was watching a vertical drama and it annoyed me to think that no one thought of the distance and how her maid was killed too. The only people carrying the drama are FL, ML, Qing Shuang, and Li Fei Ban. Other characters were just there to add drama, and it's sad.

I can't stop laughing at your comment as this is what I was thinking too😂. She knew her circumstances but decided to be a failed hero

This is one of the biggest plot holes we have in this drama, besides others 😂.
I have watched many historical dramas to understand that people fear an edict when presented as if it were the emperor himself. If he feared the edict could be destroyed by the marquis and he knew very well he worked for the empress dowager, why did he give it to FL's mother, who promised him she would present it to the empress dowager herself? He had hidden it well so he could use it at the execution place where people are gathered, and everyone is watching, if he wanted to save his family. I actually think the writers wanted ML and FL to have a dark past to make us viewers sympathise with them😂

Your point makes sense
