Book scene, Magistrate Xue was actually a very high positioned official before but couldnt stand the corruption so he went to a smaller town and changed names. Someone in the high court recognized him and testified that he is an honest person.
Here comes the Ye second generation kids (Jiang Li's cousins) Theyre all smart and mature unlike the spoiled aristocrats. Watch them work together to protect their family and wealth.
He doesn't like XFF, she was a mindless beauty for him, because in the novel XFF was hiding her true talents because…
TV is fot dramatics, in the novel there is atteaction there but like I said he is cold and calculative and isnt the type to be emotional and smitten thats why their tension is oozing in the book because everytime he saves her he also himself gets amused he is saving her.
Like the hidden behind dont get yourself killed your life belong to me is like yandere vibes already hehe,
Maternal family has brains both Jiang Li and Ye Shi Jie figured it out and acted smartly. Well done. 👍
The Li family eant the Ye family under their control because theyre mega rich...thats why Ye shije wants to enter the official dom so he could protect their family because while theyre rich, theyre still merchants
Feel a bit sorry for the the cousin who's now disfigured because as she said she's taught to be inferior to others…
In the novel she doesnt really super hate Jiangli its just she sides with Rourou so she would at least be elevated. She is a daughter of a concubine born son so basically socially she is already low. She took the risk of stealing the fiance thinking, being concubine of a Marquis is the highest she can get and earnestly believe that in time he would learn to love her as long as she just gives her best shot.
Soooo from her perspective, she did take a shot...if she wasnt disfigured even she just becomes a concubine thats fine with her...sooo in a way she also just took the chance.
He's a "guo gong", not gong gong 😄😄😄😄😄, the rest I can't answer but in the drama, he once saw her…
I havent finish the book and also commented on some here.
Their relationship is not like in the novel but its oozing tension everytime they are together.
Novel Duke Su is like here but in terms of how he liked the FL, its not instant. He is the type who can kill her if she gets in the way. He is intrigued and curious as he watches Jiang Li in her "play"
Then he somehow gets pulled into her play...unwillingly, more like humour me type kind of way.
He even asked her "why should I save you" at the time she was being held by the assassins. And Jiangli wagers her life and somehow he ends up saving her and since her life belongs to him now Jiangli always uses rhe line, she cant get easily killed since he is there to ensure his protection but even this Jiangli is uncertain until when rhe Duke will protect her.
But from Jiangli saying that her life belongs to him so she wont be reckless to lose it to Duke Su being " Your life is mine so dont easily lose it." But there is already sizzling innuendo there...like imagine him using the fan tilting her chin saying that (they have that kind of thing in the book)
