Bai Lu = white deer? ..just like the artwork! I still hope Monkey King (3?) gets released.
They both look so young in MK and have done so much since then. Did you see their clip from 2017 ? They're cute, chaotic, and hilarious.. she (Bailu) just looks like she's always been a fun one to work with. https://weibo.com/2616380702/4129085116126760
I like the leads and the story is light, but certain issues get dragged longer than they should. Side characters are cute. If you're looking for something to watch where you won't have to pay attention to every minute detail, this works.
is Xie Qing Chen guy a villain?? whats his deal? any idea?? so basically FL is ML's stepmom???
episode 22 still has the flashback to the past as the maid tells the story...
At 19 years old, Qing Qing and Zimu(?) are engaged, but in the same year, the battle for the north began.
Zimu to the maid back then: I don't know how long the battle will last.
Maid (who appears to have been a servant of his family, not Qing Qing's): Take me with you. It's your first time on the battlefield with no eyes. Xiao Ding has practiced martial arts since childhood..In order to save the your life at a critical moment.
Zimu: You stay. My life is half on the battlefield and half here. If you really want to protect me, just take care of Chaoge for me and wait for my return.
narration: Qing Qing waits anxiously at home every day. (shows her reading letters and playing w/the maid... just bicker with me to pass time)
The battle is fought and Great Wei wins!
As a result of winning the war, Zimu won the first rank general in Huaiyuan. Qing Qing waited for his return on a street corner.
(We see Zimu riding his horse down the street. He unmounts and runs to Qing Qing after spotting her... at the same time, at a balcony above, the emperor is there watching and spots the beauty (Qing Qing, Zimu's fiance) and inquires w/his men who she is and is told she is the fiance of the new first rank general)
Emperor: So, she's not yet married.
Narration: The former emperor had great power and what he wants, he must have...
It has nothing to do with luck, but rather poor management of funds and accountability. Trolls w/talk crap and try to place blame, but it's so easy for a drama to get shelved/cancelled in China for any misdeeds by production and/or cast. $10M in Chinese Yuan sounds like a lot, but it's a little under $1.4M USD.. which isn't a terribly large amount.
We just continue to support these hardworking artists with words of encouragement and don't let the toxic netz try to drag them down.

episode 21 is a flashback to the past as told by Su Chaoge's maid.
She said a couple had a son and daughter. They opened a medical clinic. The daughter at 17 grew to be beautiful. A family came to visit. ...we see Su Chaoge (who goes by the name "Qing Qing") bump into a young man (who looks like Xie Qing Chen). She exclaims, "are you blind?!".. to which he replies, "as a daughter of a doctor/medical professional should know.. I have an eye disease.." Shows them talking later together and he mentions she has a foul temper and who would marry her.. He asks if he could feel/touch her face.. and says "Ding" (his younger brother?) says she's beautiful and he's curious.. I think he asks if she'd consider marrying him ..and then their conversation mentions something about viewing "flowers" which is probably something else they're discussing, but Google translate likes to give us brain damage.
We get the impression that these two beautiful youths like each other. The last scene is the young man talking w/the maid about "flower" viewing and she (the maid) says oh he's talking about Qing Qing (Su Chaoge).

Just watched epi 20. Su Chaoge's maid is very protective over her.. and the Chen guy that looks like her past love (that supposedly died) may be his younger brother who is trying to get revenge for his brother's death. At the end of the episode, the maid finds out his true identity and motive for trying to poison her.. and says "Let me tell you a story" (I used a translator since it isn't subbed yet) and then the episode ends. Next episode or so should give more background on the plot.

yes, stepmother.. I watched till episode 19 (last 2 without subs). That character seems suspicious, but cannot tell. The series is chaotic and somewhat of a hot mess. In epi 19, the Chen guy pours her a drink, but her maid puts up a fuss and she doesn't drink it. Here's the link to the unsubbed episodes which are still ongoing - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLznKlgCn8NWvRJIjm1QF3fZJYvRhF6hNa
Adding the synopsis here for anyone interested. I no longer bother trying to add it as admins usually reject for some reason or other and it's a waste of time... (taken and edited from https://baike.baidu.com/)
In this drama, the empress dowager, Su Chaoge, played by Hu Yiyao, is seen as an evil demon queen who is extravagant and only knows how to have fun all day long. In fact, Su Chaoge has been secretly plotting her own path of revenge. Back then, someone sent her to the emperor's dragon bed, which separated her from her beloved, and destroyed her life. In order to get rid of the enemies one by one, Su Chaoge joins hands with the 9th prince, Xiao Zhi, who is now on the throne, but in the process, she unconsciously falls in love with him.
Different from many other short dramas with the same theme, the heroine Su Chaoge is not a "silly, pure and sweet" character, but a strong woman with a high intelligence, courage and strategy.
Each episode is less than 3 minutes. The first episode shows a drunk, blindfolded old(er) man who seems to be the emperor. He is wandering around the room with a whip in one hand and drink on the other. There's a young girl (FL) who has whip marks and is hiding w/a knife in-hand. As she's about to stab the old guy passed out on the bed, the 9th prince pulls her back and takes her knife. She kisses him and says if he kills the old guy she'll be his.. they continue to kiss.. A voiceover then says the 9th prince becomes the emperor and that woman (FL) becomes the empress dowager. Her Su family seizes power.
Each episode abruptly ends and the next starts at a different scene so it's chaotic and sort of a fragmented/pieced together story. The FL appears to be into pretty boys and hung up on someone from her past that supposedly died, but there's someone that looks like him working for the emperor. The empress dowager has a terrible reputation for being immoral and a bit of a debauchee. She also takes no nonsense from the harem. (unsure if those concubines are the former emperor's or the new emperor's (formerly the 9th prince))
Along the way, there are attempted assassinations of the empress dowager, Su Zhaoge..
The 9th prince, now emperor, seems to be in love with the empress dowager and asks for her to become his empress, but she wants something else... which I'm still waiting to find out at episode 18.
Fuck 'em clout chasers. Didn't take much for them to do a complete 360 after body shaming him before. (This is…
It was a brutal defeat on LOL for her and it dragged down the team comprised of other real gamers (professional e-sports players).. I guess she wasn't fazed as she just posted new selfies of herself in gamer gear w/her pink animal headphones and pink gaming laptop.
I'm going to go outside and touch grass. I don't like falling into an anti mindset. Trying not to be triggered. Praying she doesn't continue attempting to cling to LYX.
