Pretty sure they will keep this in Part 2. Simplified but massive spoilers if you want them:
From what I understand, CSS and LBY very much fall in love during engagement. But then sometime in Part 2 we will see that before they get married, LBY learns that his current "father" Marquis Chengyang was the one responsible for the massacre of the Huo family, and we will learn LBY is actually a member of the Huo family and that the woman we think is his mother is actually his aunt, who took him in as her son to protect him. LBY chooses revenge - kills his "father" and is condemned for it. His engagement with CSS ends up broken and LBY ends up in the frontier for five years. CSS works hard to clear his name. She also becomes very close to the Empress, who at some point is dying and expresses a wish to see CSS married before she passes. CSS ends up engaged to YS as a result (who has loyally stayed close to her this entire time) but doesn't necessarily love him. LBY comes back and they end up together. **If you watch the new MV for the show, there is a clip where you see CSS walking away from YS who is wearing official's outfit and he is in tears -- I think his heart will be broken in Part 2 and they will keep this engagement in the drama.**
It’s never fully explained why so many ladies want LBY. He’s good looking but pretty mean to most of the ladies…
Beautiful excerpt :) I definitely get why CSS falls for him! He treats her so differently and preciously, and looks like their relationship is eventually grounded in a real understanding of each other as real people. I just don't get why Princess Yuchang and the others he's so mean to would hang on. (It's like how Yuan Shanjian is so good-looking on first impression and then within an episode or two many are over it because the words that come out of his mouth are unbelievably obnoxious).
Wan lin. I just wish she fall on her face. What is she so proud of?? . Will she ever pay for her mistakes. I hate…
I wonder what happens to the awful characters in the novel - Wang Ling, Lou Li, the Fifth Princess and that other princess that wants to marry Zisheng (Yunchang/Juchang?)
I don't know hey, I still do not believe that she was truly in love with Yao. I think she loved him as a friend…
They were both young. I think it could have developed and become a strong loving marriage and relationship. I love that this drama shows how from CSS perspective there isn’t instant love but emotions that develop over time based on others’ behavior towards her.
Wow Episode 21 moved me to tears - really good acting between SS and LY! I find this show is filmed in such a…
I find a lot of cdramas start strong and then peter out by the end or get really draggy but so far I am still loving every bit of this drama. Happy there will be a part 2!!
