Midnight

I loved it a the beginning, but as it went on you could notice the glaring obviousness and severe choppiness. Idk why they ruined such a great project.

He escaped

Well basically they get together at 34 🤣 A lot of scenes were cut, but there's insane chemistry from the beginning, it's a true romance if you can bear they cut out the best parts

Yep, novel is basically very loose inspiration. The plot spins around FL escaping her arranged marriage (she's 15) and she stumbles on a hanged princess, meets the ML (he's like 16) and they investigate together.

There is no Li Peiyi, Xiao Huaijin or anyone. Fl is Wei Shufen prime minister's daughter and ML is Li Yuangui 14th prince.

Nah, novel is different, no prince Duan whatsoever, etc. It isn't similar at all

It is

A lot of stuff was omitted or changed, the novel was more like an inspiration than an actual adaptation of it.

Meh, they both have their perks. I wasn't really wowed by either.

Crown Prince 😁

The Crown Prince is the current Emperor's son, but the current Emperor got there by crooked means, he's not the legitimate emperor. That's why I said it's a war of dynasties

Ml is the half brother of the current emperor in the story, the youngest son of the founding emperor. Fl also had siblings while in the drama she's an only child.

That's just the drama, novel is more about war of the dynasties. Original cp's branch and the current Emperor's branch.

For those who are wondering about the novel, it's very different, The Fl is the prime minister's daughter and the Ml is a prince.

They all start plotting at teens lmao 🤣

I honestly don't know but he was already crown prince back then and Wu Sipping was working for him and ML's father was his tutor. The emperor had like 30 kids

Nope, Consort Shu should have gone to pray to the temple because her brother was convicted. CP was always an insecure psycho. He wants to hunt down FL an ML despite the fact they left just like he killed prince Duan despite the fact he gave everything up and wanted to live in peace.

Did you watch the post credits scene? There th CP finally makes an appearance as the mastermind

The emperor was always a coward, his children also died in the process, did you see him care. Nope. All he ever did is ruin various women's lives.

The chancellor did lead CP's soldiers and personally killed Prince Duan, but he did so under the command of CP. In the end he was also just a pawn like the rest.
