I'm only on episode 3, and that's what I gather too: 1st wife wants to ensure the future status of her son before she dies. He doesn't love any of the women, but it's his duty to reproduce, like in most ancient Chinese families. So sad :(

I know he doesn't love any of the women, except perhaps the 1st wife before FL, but still he has an older son with one of the concubines. Men ! :(

Jeez! My one-and-true-love heart cannot take it :D

OMG! How many wives has he got?

Thanks for all the insights. I'm persuaded. Starting this weekend :D

Wallace Chung, OMG! My idol! It's been a long time!

How is this drama so far? Worth to pursue?

Hahaha! So true. I better turn myself into a shopping maniac to get my man great XD

Wish they've changed the title instead of calling it GGS2 because I can relate GGS1 to TN. What relationship GGS2 has with squid, apart from some of the same characters from GGS1? I remember in GGS1, Ai Qing treats Wu Bai as a little brother because her heart is for the other guy.

Rating at 9.5 on Duboku, is this real? Am I missing something?

I'm asking the same question, but with your answer, I think I'll pass. Too many on-going dramas I'm watching right now, no time to spare watching people staring into each other :D Anyway, love GGS1, especially Wu Bai in there. BTW, this Ai Qing here, is she the same character Wu Bai fancies in GGS1? If so, she's a lot older than Wu Bai right?

It seems they're adding more twists to the whole story: first there is the love triangle, now, a new antagonist popping up.

Yep! That's the gist :)

I believe she's a new character - a new antagonist. Don't remember seeing her in earlier episodes.

BTW, the part you mentioned is the trailer for the next episode. So, need to see what leads to that moment :)

Actually I can sympathize with her and her needle. Not only that's the needle she has been using when she was little (because her mom wouldn't let her sew, and wouldn't have noticed if she uses the old golden needle - which is not meant for sewing but she didn't know), it symbolizes her mother. Imagine something so important to you, now in the hand of someone you hate so much, I think I would do the same as Liu Li does, even if it means losing my life :)

The bloody new Emperor (Li Zhi) wants Liu Li for himself. He also knows that Pei Xing Jian and Liu Li are lovers, so he purposely separates them by appointing Pei Xing Jian an outstation post. He wants to make Liu Li his concubine but she quickly says she wants to be a nun with Wu Mei Niang. Li Zhi says he intends to bring Wu back to the palace. So Liu Li says she wants to be the Emperor's tailor instead. 2 years after the death of the former Emperor, Li Zhi brings Wu Mei Niang back from the temple (I guess that also means marrying her). For 5 years, Liu Li has been distancing herself from the Emperor. And yet, the Emperor is still unrelenting (so annoying). Poor Pei Xing Jian! Luckily they have Wu Mei Niang who is still trying to help them. Let's see what happens in the next episodes.

Pei Xing Jian's first wife dies, partly because of the elder princess. So now he's about to marry Liu Li, the apparently nasty princess is starting to scheme against her. Some people are so rich and have nothing better to do, so they carry out evil deeds, hurting others :(

"zhuì xù" (the Chinese title) means son-in-law living at wife's parent's house, and their offspring will follow the wife's family name, in this case "Su".

I love JOL but not so much for this drama. Am I alone?
