Filming has started but no updates on the synopsis and the rest of the casts.

Lots of people want to get revenge and die eventually. I just assume that only ChuMu, Rou, ChuLing, and the princess live to the end...LOL. I see these 4 people live to make it to the wedding day at the end.

On the bright side, Chumu will become more mature due to 3rd prince's actions in order to keep Rou on his side. At the moment, his explosive, immature, and child-like behavior won't do him any good to fight against the people in the palace who has more power than he does. He needs more character development, not only to protect his love from 3rd prince but to ward off sexual predators like King Liang.

What!?!? Really??? Rou is a prize possession that many men wanted to have. Will there be more men chasing for her later in the episodes?...lmao. I've never seen a drama where so many guys like one girl.

I agree. The relationship in this drama is all over the place. I'm having a headache of tracking all these different relationships.

So much is going on in the upcoming episodes and the tone is getting darker.

So Fu Shui is a different character than Chen Ji but they look so alike. Are they siblings then? Chen Ji is a nice guy so should I assume Fu Shui is a evil guy since he will cause havoc in the palace?

Fu Shui popped up out of nowhere. Is he the same character as Chen Ji or is he another character play by the same guy? I'm confused.

Indeed...their plan was brilliant...lol. ChuMu's faking to be drunk and intentionally lost to the taoist to carry his plans. I'm loving this drama more and more as each episode progresses.

About 20 people died? That's like almost half of the staffs. Sounds very tragic.

Thank you for sharing =)

In ep 24, Rou said she'll do anything to keep ChuMu alive and safe. She wants to kill Prince Liang and commits suicide after she was almost raped but she didn't because of her love for ChuMu. So I think you may be right. She probably sides with 3rd prince to utilize his power to protect ChuMu.

I agree with you. I hate the imperial preferential and unfair treatments in the palace.

Since you mentioned the preview 29, I went and checked it out. Such adorable and cute moments from the couple. I can't find preview 30 but that's ok. I don't want to see them breaking up ;(

Me too. I'm glad to see ChuMu show up again after his disappearance and the drama is getting lighthearted again for the time being. Now, I see why ChuMu wants Rou to fake her death to get out of this sticky situation. Yeah, can't say enough how disgusting and despicable Prince Liang is. I don't see much importance Prince Liang bring to the story so not sure why the writer wrote him in. He's such an awful person and I gag every time I see him on screen.

Ep 24 is very interesting....hmmm, can't wait for the next one.

That's him. We'll wait to find out how evil he is. Based on the trailer, he marries Lu YingYing. It looks like Lu YunJi sold his daughter to Prince Liang in order to get his favors. Lu YunJi is also trying to side Crown Prince. All the evil people are teaming up. It doesn't sound so good...yet the plot thickens...lol.

Rou has a very strong backing from the Empress. She will try everything to protect Rou. Although I don't like the way prince Zhou stalks and forces Rou, I have a feeling deep down he really cares for her and would not put her in jeopardy. Yan ZiFeng is another of her support. Fu Yin will end bad with the way she's heading and Rou will become stronger as a result to protect her loved ones.

Chumu has support from the emperor although his support is not as strong as Rou. Chumu's character is still under-developed. ChuMu and Rou are clueless of what's to come so I see many sacrifices from Chumu and Rou's family for them to eventually realize that they need to take actions.

Yes, but the drama depicts life in the palace and people scheming for power. Life in the palace is miserable so obviously there will be more evil guys than good guys. Even good guys eventually will turn dark so they can defend themselves and survive against the evil guys. It's like survival of the fittest.

Also, the plot is thickening and turning dark to build up the climax of the story. We've seen cute and funny scenes from the beginning. and now it's turning deep to get the plot going. As a result, I think we'll see more character development, especially ChuMu and Fu Rou to fight against the evilness. There's a new group of people that was introduced in ep 22 and they dislike the emperor. There's also another high ranking official that popped up in ep 22. Oh, and then there's Prince Liang also. They all are evil guys. Nonetheless, I believe ChuMu and Fu Rou will outsmart them. It'll be painful during the middle part but it'll be a nice ending.

It'll get darker once Prince Liang comes into play. I see that he is a nasty character.
