the whole show focuses on the extras. i think this might not be the drama for you. the ML/FL dont interact too much, esp in the second half of this show.

i believe they were a well off family that immigrated to the Linji region and set up a tea plantation/trade system there. the region owes its prosperity to the family. i dont think they have a super complex history. they helped the founding emperor in times of trouble so he gave them a sign of power (the jade stamp?) in return.

didn't think this could get worse after ep30 and then it really well and truly did. what an abysmal watch. they had a star drama on their hands until ep24~. completely ruined the characterization of both the leads. i couldnt tell you anything about ljl's personality because he didnt have one. the entire second half of this show could've happened without him and it wouldn't have made a difference. rsb also has few redeeming features. she spent the entire drama pushing ljl away, even up to the very last moment. nothing she ever said to him made any sense, nothing she ever did to him was justified. im not even going to discuss how lackluster their romance was and how little chemistry they had once ljl left the rong household. last 10-12 eps ruined the show. also! they should've had rsb interact way more with her sisters throughout the show. the rong sisters were the star of this show for me and they completely threw all of them away in the end. i mean we dont even get a glimpse of them as rsb and ljl allegedly get their happy ending. and the way rsb and ljl get together at the very end of the very last episode but broke up like 50 times throughout the show. im tired.

ep30 them nerfing YBL's character was done with malicious intent omg 😭

ep27 getting kind of tired of watching rsb be dragged to court and ljl having to come in and save her 🫩🥱

this show was really good until the wedding arc. it's been downhill since the yang yun case ended :/

the family politics in this are on par with story of yanxi palace

AWWW so so so cute!! the perfect short and sweet binge

‪ep23 it's so satisfying to see all the sisters getting along with e/o 😭 that's family 🥺‬

ep21 the yan bai luo propaganda is finally working on me 😭 the way he caught her in the rain ahhhh

omg ep20 yang yun's court scene was so good. i was holding my breath the entire time she was talking. so so good

the world building set up looks so similar to the spirealm!

awww im a third of the way through and this show is too precious. everyone is so cute!!

ugh i miss when dramas used to be good. just finished rewatching this and its just as good as the first time i watched it. phs and hhj my parents i will miss you forever.

love between lines starts airing on friday! that's what im gonna use ;-;

such a simple and comforting show to keep you warm in the winter season. they chose the perfect 2-3 weeks for it to air. i so enjoyed spending this time with nxg and lys. ep36 was just tooo cute. for real going to miss them

oh no that's so sad 😭😭

yes!! especially evident in the phone call with her cousin

knew it lol

just started ep14. rsb is acting so suspiciously, i dont believe yunwan is actually dead
