I get that people like the chemistry and romance but as someone who is reading the novel, I find it too fast pace and somewhat less appealing. Duke Su in the novel is musteripus and dangerous, calculating, he is still lile that here but he isnt the type to go be simping attracted to Jiang Li.
He is the type to have no second thoughts killing her if she gets in his way. For him Jiang Li is an actor in the play he watches, and he is intrigued by her but doesnt go out helping her behind the shadows.
In the novel, Jiangli catches him conversing with someone in the palace and the intel she gained, she used it as ace card when she was about to get killed and she wagered her life and made him a part of her play.
Yeah, she's rather one dimensional for a villain. Just plain tripping on her power. Some actors can pull it off…
I mean a psycopath is a psychopath, no one really can explain why they do what they do. They get a thrill ffrom commiting such acts, foe her she gets her high in torturing and manipulating people. Theyre also devoid of real.human emotions so no need for a backstory for them to behave the way they do.
Will ye shi jie be more important later in the story? The actor is such an eye candy 🥰
He is important but still side, he brings hos uncle to check Jiang Li. He also becomes top male examiner becomes official which helps protect the Ye family.
Ye family will jave her back, In here theyre pairing her with Liu Xu.
He sort of likes her but doesnt pursue her theyre first cousins but that time cousins marrying is common
can i ask for who read the novel is the interaction and romance of leads will be sided to the end...is it a more…
The duke is a cold hearted cunning man, and Jang Li knows he shouldnt get involve with him, but their goals force them to interact with each other. Its just that Jang Lis enemies are also Dukes enemies but he doesnt readily helps her like here.
Until Jangli wagers her life and basically also pulled him in her 'show'.
Duke Su is a bystander, watching how she will act in her 'show' and he gets impressed and then was pulled into her show.
FL says, her life belongs to him and since it belongs to he FL is confident that ML wont allow her life to be easily taken away.
She wagered her life...its not love at first sight kind of thing, more like admiration to interest to affection to fondess to love

So honestly, the romance for me is not kicking in
Even when the rumours were there of FX paternity, they want him to be theirs.
Also FX reassuring them he is their son.
Love the stepmom, one of the best. Lols she will even say she gave birth to FX just to claim him.
