Whom he has picked is actually a misunderstanding that he has to get himself out later. It's really funny. Continue watching. It gets better and their (ML & FL's) chemistry rocks :D

This is called real DRAMA! XD

She (QM) may be able to redeem herself by saving her family. Let's see how she becomes the fake "xuan nu" (mysterious lady) for the Emperor :D

He knows she likes him, but he doesn't like her, so in the end, she leaves him and goes back to her family.

Yes, indeed the story is very interesting. I've watched 3 episodes and I like it.

Though there's no exact love triangle per se as the SML doesn't try to fight and scheme to get the FL, she is rightfully married to him, kind of, as all Bai's daughters are to marry the crown princes and become queens for generations. And for FL, she knows this is her duty and it's hard for her to follow her heart - ie. to love ML openly.

I can assure you, it will be :D

He would be eaten alive by Qiu Yan XD

Yes, indeed there's trouble between Qiu Min's marriage to Liang Yi because Liang Yi had thought Qiu Min the owner of the fan he gave away years ago. Let's see how he backs out of the deal that he's got himself into. It's really funny but doesn't make him a dork.

Maybe many viewers are fed-up with rom-com, just guessing :D

Yes, so much fun to watch how they try to outwit each other, and it seems FL always wins XD

Keep watching. You won't find Liang Yi AH afterwards. He's the most loved character here. There're good reasons for why he's acting like an AH :D

Anyone has the link for the anime version of this series? I've watched up to episode 17. It's so good. Fast paced, nerve wracking. The massacre of Tao Yuan Jun is so real compared to the drama version which doesn't look bloody at all, if any. The animated So Mo is powerful, bitter, dark and bloody whereas in the drama, he faints and goes into a coma multiple times within an episode (roll eyes). Even Zhen Lan is strong and powerful compared to the weak Zhen Lan in the drama. And Na Sheng is a delight compared to the unbearable character here in the drama. All the characters seem to be so much better in the anime, honestly speaking.

Episodes 21 & 22 are like rom-com. So funny.

I do read it :D

Great review!

Hmm! No one's watching this?

A great review! Please also put this wonderful review in the Review section so that it doesn't get buried in the comments here :)

Yes, the saving grace for me about Li Yifeng is rather similar to yours - I like his strong, evilish style, especially when he descends from the sky unannounced, that's when I know the day is saved with his arrival :D

You brought up the temple scene etc, I can't help but comment about Su Mo's interchangeable white and black hair. One moment his hair is white, another it's black again. It's so random that I was laughing my head off XD XD XD.
