There are equal numbers of people hating on both characters. It's not one-sided at all. Even the misunderstandings…
Yeah, no issues, it happens. We just had a miscommunication. Actually, when I read the novel about 1-1.5 years ago, it quickly became my favorite because second chance romances are my favorite genre. I even thought that as there was no physical cheating involved by the main characters, just misunderstandings, I really liked both of them. Even the translator at that time didn't translate chapter 170 because he knew it would make readers hate the FL. When I reread the novel just before the drama aired, I stumbled upon chapter 170, so I'm pretty conflicted about how I feel about the FL. Commenting on this page has become a way for me to cool off. It's also why I'm waiting for this drama, because due to strict Chinese censorship, they will not show scenes like that, unlike American shows where they would surely include it.
Sorry, but after the ridiculous wedding night, I don't know what ML expects. FL doesn't suffer from Stockholm…
Your opinions are your opinions, and don't think I can change that, so I will not reply after this comment because you are not understanding my point, even though you said you have read the novel. You mentioned in your previous comment that emotional attachment is not cheating, so I don't think the point applies to the ML as well. It is clearly written in the novel, with glimpses of FL kissing SRQ and doing other intimate gestures such as oral s*x, as seen in chapter 170 of the novel. So it is called cheating whether penetration is involved or not.
Even when everyone else used her, the ML never used or abused her at all in the entire novel, whether in the past or present. Yes, he made mistakes, even significant ones, but the one thing he never did was use her; it was always a mutual partnership for gains between them. There are several lines in the novels from FL's perspective where the FL acknowledges that the ML never did anything bad to her and always told her the truth. And even if she was used by everyone for political purposes, it still doesn't make sense for her to cheat, right? Two wrongs can never make a right.

I never said it was in the drama. It was in the novel where I read it. And from what I know of C-drama censorship, even if it was filmed, it would never pass the censor. But as the drama is based on the novel, it should be considered canon, and not everything can be shown on screen as it was in the novel. Dramas have to follow more strict regulations, so I don't think we will get proper intimate scenes between LR and SRQ. However, if the makers are smart about it, they will imply it through various small gestures.

Penetration is not the only way to cheat. Emotional attachment and doing intimate things like kissing or oral s*x can also be considered cheating, so I don't know why you are saying that she didn't cheat if you read the novel. She could have divorced the ML and even gave him two options after learning about ML and QZZ: either divorce her and lose everything he has achieved, or become her partner. Also, I don't remember her being condemned to 20 years of solitude. If she was and I forgot, even then she had other options to divorce before cheating.
Here is the link, but I would suggest you shouldn't read the novel before finishing the drama because it will probably make you hate the characters and form preconceived opinions about them. Also, there are some minor changes from the novel, as the FL is much more softened and mellowed in the drama compared to the novel.
I posted the link on the discussion section because many people wanted the spoiler related to his feelings in…
We are still unsure whether we will see good kissing scenes between the leads due to censorship, so I don't think we will see any scenes like that between the FL and SML in the drama.
I still don't understand all the hate directed towards FL. It was ML who never put forth his feelings forward…
There are equal numbers of people hating on both characters. It's not one-sided at all. Even the misunderstandings are the result of both of them, not just one. Yes, the ML was at fault for not letting the FL know his intentions toward QZZ, but she did the same thing to him, right? She made SRQ a 'guest' in her courtyard and did intimate things with him in front of everyone, including the ML. So she is equally as wrong as the ML for the deterioration of their relationship.
She acknowledged in the drama that she knew PWX loved her in their past life, so she shouldn't have done that if she really loved the ML. It never makes sense for a spouse to take other lovers when something is going wrong in their relationship. Two wrongs never make a right. I still emphasize that both were equally at fault for what happened in their past life, it was never one-sided at all.

Even you are taking only one side, did you read the novel? If you had read it, you would know that the ML didn't have any interaction with QZZ until she became the concubine of the Crown Prince. Due to the inner fighting between the concubines, her servant went to ask for help from PWX. Getting married to someone doesn't mean you start liking them immediately.
You claim that the ML constantly worries about QZZ, but in the novel, it is shown that he only helped or interacted with her 2-3 times, always in the presence of others and never alone. Yes, I know he didn't explain his intentions regarding QZZ to LR, but didn't the FL do the same to him by saving SRQ, even though everyone compared the two of them? She also had a crush on SRQ since she was 10.
Even if the ML did embarrass the FL by constantly thinking about QZZ as you said, what about the FL? She had intimate interactions, like kissing, with SRQ for more than two decades in the presence of the ML. I don't know which man or woman would like it if their significant other got intimate with others in their presence.
For a few years after their marriage, the ML did small intimate things like massaging her, doing her makeup, making her favorite dishes, and wearing white clothes because she liked it. But after she saved SRQ, she became so cold that she didn't let him do anything like that anymore. Even if the ML, as you said, embarrassed the FL by constantly thinking of QZZ, what she did is much worse. She took a 'guest' openly, and everyone in the court knew about it, making the ML wear a "Green Hat" because of her. Isn't that more embarrassing for the ML?
At some point in the novel, the ML was going to apologize to the FL and beg her to take him back, but what did he hear her say to SRQ in their bedroom? "Rong Qing, please do it gently." What do you think she was doing with SRQ in their bedroom? Wasn't it a clear disrespect of the ML by the FL?
And lastly, even if the ML embarrassed the FL by thinking of QZZ, as you said, he only did it for a short amount of time and didn't look at anyone else after her death, unlike the FL, who did it for more than two decades.
He actually kinda resemble the original character on the manhwa tho 🤣
I haven't read the manhwa, so I can't comment on that, but to me, he looked too old for the role he was playing. His acting was on point, but he didn't look like Lee Won Jun (a college student) to me.
I haven't finished the novel, but so far it is the same as the novel. Only problem is that there is no internal…
Yeah, the internal dialogues in the novel helped us understand what the characters were thinking, but the drama didn't include them, which makes it hard for us to understand why the leads did or said something. The drama also didn't include some scenes that were in the novel like the handkerchief scene or the kicking Pei Wei Xuan on their wedding night scene. Also, I think the drama has mellowed Li Rong a bit because she was much more aggressive and flirty towards Pei Wei Xuan in the novel, constantly hitting him with her fan.
So, he's going to be a real villain in 2nd life? Shouldn't he learn from mistake?
He is a supporter of the second prince in this life because he wants to take revenge against Li Chuan (the Crown Prince). We can say he is a gray character who wants to avenge his family's massacre in his previous life and prevent it from happening again in his current life by supporting the second prince.
Yes, he is reincarnated too and was the one behind poisioning her.
Yes, he likes her, but his duty towards his family, taking revenge for what happened to his family in the previous life, and their safety in this life are preventing him from acting on it but he is unable to control it.
