Sorry I realized after I posted the above that I didn’t make it a spoiler. Now I can’t seem to edit my post.

fl: Jia Shang will you be willing leave with me.

ml: leave where?
Fl: anywhere. Buy a train ticket and Leave your family and my family.

Ml: sorry Shizen. I am the oldest son, even though I don’t want to take over the family business I can’t just leave.

I think wha you said about stepsiblings and more distant relations dating is fine. I draw the line at biological siblings dating or having romantic feelings for each other. Even if they are consenting adults incest is very taboo and wrong in my opinion.

I know that it could possible for biological siblings to be separated at birth and meet each other and develop feelings for each other not knowing that they are related. However, since they are related so closely their relationship is wrong.

I see no problems with step siblings dating etc because they aren’t related by blood.

I agree with you. The Ml fits the character of Yu Lou very well. This youtuber Marcus, commented that people’s comments seem to be code for the ML not being good looking enough.
He fits the role perfectly though. He has that naïveté in the first few episodes down pat, and later on you can see his growth. I also want to point out that in this drama the actors portraying the Sun brothers look like siblings. Plus the actress playing Sun Yu Lou’s mom and the ML look alike. They can totally pass for mother and son. Oftentimes in cdramas the actors and actresses who play the parents don’t look similar to their “children” at all.

I was just thinking how life in the Sun household will be like if the Older Sun brother and the second Sun brother married each other’s wife’s instead. They seem in terms of temperament and interests to suit better. I haven’t met the general yet but I feel that him and the Oldest son’w wife would’ve gotten along better or at least they have more common ground.

Unfortunately, the first wife came from a prominent family, whose father is a general, would have insisted that his daughter be the first wife who along with her husband will inherit. However, each if the sons will break up i to their own households after their parents die and split the assets. But as the oldest son I an assuming that he will inherit more.

Unfortunately with the way things are, the oldest brother has an outside mistress, and the second wife is having an affair. I wonder how Shao Chun is goinf to help he with that. With those billowy clothes they wear she can hide her pregnancy for awhile.

I also hope that the third wife will help Shao chun take down the big brother’s mistress if she ever trie to enter the Sun family.

This drama takes place during the Ming dynasty in China.

You’re welcome

The choice that the granny made is similar to Sophie’s choice. Except that one of the children didn’t die. But the granny’s daughter probably had a horrible fate. Hopefully it can be a happy reunion for them.

Honestly I feel that the FL would’ve have the tenacity to survive. I just don’t know if the Lin family’s exiled slaves and family would’ve been branded.

In two later scenes the granny ask the FL is she was right in giving up her daughter. The first time was when the FL seemed to waver and the second was in ep 7 when the granny thought exonerating the Fl’s father was impossible.
The granny is very loyal though. I think that the only way she can justify it is that her master will bre avenged.

I actually had a talk with my mom about this topic. She said that this is 義氣, honor, which is an ideal that alot of ancient Chinese strived for. Oftentimes, in dramas, people sacrifice their child for a cause, country, the lineage of their lord, master, or emperor.
From a modern perspective, this loyalty seems crazy. I am a mother myself and I can’t imagine doing this.

However, from a historical perspective I get it. The granny said that the Lin family treated the well. Also, the Lin family and servants( slaves) will be exiled. She and her daughter were not slaves, they don’t the sold body letter( sorry it’s hard for me to translate it) so they won’t be exiled. The granny hopes that the Lin young lady can exonerate and avenge her father, that is why she let her daughter be exiled. She also hoped that she can see her daughter in the future or that her young lady can find her daughter.

As I was watching that heartbreaking scene, your daughter most likely will never forgive you for this.

I have seen other dramas were a general sacrificed himself and his own newborn son in order to preserve the last lineage of his emperor, therefore he picked the princess over his child.
These people had to make horrible choices. It wasn’t that they didn’t love their own children, they are just willing to make sacrifices at the expense of themselves. It’s a very difficult concept to grasp nowadays. I am not condoning the granny’s actions, I can’t make her choice myself. I am just trying to put it into an historical context and shed some light into her decision.

Bai jue took away Shangu’s memory of the time to the Tribulation of chaos along with the memory she has as Houchi too.
Bai jue to outsiders ignored his child and didn’t claim or acknowledge the child as his. However, he would visit Shangu while she was sleeping secretly and when he was caught by his son, Yuanqi, he pretended to be Feng Ran. As Feng Ran, Bai jue brought his son to the mortal realm and taught him to play games, and fly kites, all stuff that Shangu likes.

He is such a cutie. Xu Kai is adorable as Qing Mu. I like their relationship too. I wish that QM went into exile with HC, at least they would have had more time together.

I am waiting too. I am rewatching the episodes and can’t wait til Sunday.

I know it did seem that they accelerated things. But the 60,000 chaos tribulation was coming up so BoXuan/ Bai Jue needed to wake up to stop it. Otherwise the three realms will end.
Or worst case scenario is Houchi will get her powers back in order to save everyone and break Qingmu’s heart.

I think that she portrays both Shangu and Houchi really well. Avenue x said that her portrayl of Shangu was too modern. I think that she plays a happy go lucky Shangu and a more reserved Houchi very well.
Another reviewer said that when she smiles her eyes get so small.

I think that makes her acting more realistic, she is genuinely smiling. I don’t understand all the negativity.
This drama is one of my favorites so far and the acting from all of the actors are great and everyone suits their parts well.
I love the costumes too.

I think of Qingmu as Bai jue, if Bai jue didn’t grow up training to be the god of war and all the responsibilities that it entails. Qingmu is basically Bai jue without all the burdens, so he is much livelier, playful and smiles so much more. He is also more idealistic. I am sad that this livelier side of Bai jue is now gone. I also miss Qing mu’s little paper person doll.

I thought that the marriage between Wuhaun’s daughter and Bai Jui wasn’t completed because Gu Jun and Tianqi interrupted it in the novel.
I am not sure how it will all play out in the drama.

I am really looking forward to all the remaining episodes. Can’t wait to watch them all.

The whole two souls sleeping in one body is confusing to me.
I like to think that Houchi is Shangu and they share one soul.

Shangu’s soul was shattered and GunJun spent 10,000 yrs gathering it up and the gathered soul became Houchi the egg.
Therefore, Houchi is Shangu just that Houchi has no memories of being her until later.

Houchi’s personality is different from Shangu because of her upbringing and the perceived circumstances of her birth, ie her supposed mother abandoning her.

When Houchi gets Shangu’s powers back the power brings back Shangu’s memories and consciousness. So Houchi sleeps when Shangu is awake and takes over the body.
So they aren’t exactly two souls just two consciousness in one body, after Houchi gets Shangu’s powers back.
I could be wrong. I am trying to wrap my head around all this and try to understand it. I could be wrong. I can’t wait for the new episodes to air so that it explains it all.

I believe that Tianqi commenter that Bai Jue endured the pain of separating his body for Shangu. Bai Jue wanted to have chaos power and he couldn’t do that with his immortal/god body, therefore he created Qing mu who can use demonic power.

I think that the FL’s voice is Yang Mi’s actual voice.

Thanks for the info. When I was watching this and since the are the main leads and they will fall and love.

If she is an concubine can she even become the main wife?

Hi! Can you tell me where you saw the trailer for those episodes? Thanks!
