If you paid attention, her dad is basically VP of Ministry of Supreme court. He most likely had a hand in writing the laws. She was raised to be a perfect noble wife, from ettiquete, to manners and strategy. She knew law bc she read the manuascripts. It was shown in earlier eps she was asking for the last manuscript. In modern lense, we can view it as she did her law course without taking the bar exam. You can also see her way of thinking was diff when she asked her dad what is the meaning of master and slave.

In some cases, her lack of big reaction, I feel like she's kind of checked out ever since she cama to the capital. She's still fighting her inner demons, and it doesn't help living in the Shen manor, and becoming Lin madam. It's mocking to her.

Anyways, to each their own. If this drama doesn't suit you there's hundred more.

I think there has to be a certain length of time when the main wife is still barren before the family can pressure ml to take in concubine. I think it's law or else it would look bad on the family and ofc to any prestigeous family that marries in

zxl is the 6th sister of zxt (ml's ex wife). zxl is the third household of zhao family, so not directly zxt's sister but like cousin of some sort. Xie zhao was the guy that was initially suppose to be engaged with 2nd miss, but bc ml was punished so the xie family cancelled the engagement and married the zhao girl

Yes, they obviously were. the old Zhao was suggesting the king to go in to hiding and leave the palace.

Aaaah, Dongqing as a guest! I was wondering when she would appear in this drama. Her character (Dong Lady) avenging her father and fighting off the rebels with commoners and officiers. The only women in the crowd of men. Another point being shown that even though women may look physically feable, they are strong and resilient in their core, they will step up when trouble arise.

It's fortunate older sis seprated with Lu asshole and got her daughter back or else she and the daughter would be executed. I feel bad for ljq, after being seriously wounded, he doesn't get a break and the sis begs him to help her.

When big sharks play, small fishes are the casualties. The whole rebellion and death last night was all squaky clean, no one would've thought there was a battle of death that occured.

Tencent has to follow the TV schedule. CCTV changed the airing bc they wants to ride the hype of ATC to their next new drama. Tencent had no choice, but we will get the express soon.

I'm here for WDX, ever since I've seen him in Fireworks in my Heart (drama wasn't my type) he is my prototype of a brooding wealthy CEO. When he's not smiling or acting goofy he gives off this introverted, solmn vibe. He's soo classy in a suit.

It's just me, but I would prioritize the production, whether if it's true S+, the script writer and director etc. Most times, production/platforms label S+ bc of the leads not bc of the actual production itself. If ss has these higher production scripts, then it doesn't matter (to me) which platform she goes. A bad script can turn to a good one with the right tweak.

I honestly don't know what happened with TUS bc it was a S+ production. But, given it's director's first fantasy and his own written script that may have been one of the many factors. Especially Iqiy.


I had my qualms with ATC given that I read the novel and didn't think ss would suit fl and as well the whole general plot of the novel wouldn't have been enticing for public. Boy was I wrong, and I'm glad I was proven wrong.

New melon. It’s an ancient-China historical/political romance with 宅斗 + 权谋 + romance, centered around a woman who becomes involved in the dangerous world surrounding a powerful family.
The upcoming/announced adaptation 《我本贤良》 is described as following a rural widow who is forced to take the identity of a general's widow and becomes caught in a dangerous wealthy household/political struggle.

Her action of burning that treason evidence will change the dynamic of ml and fl's relationship. ml will whole heartedly trust her and reveal his secrets and from there she will learn no revelations from him and start to accept him

Did yall notice how respectful LX is by referring the deceased as xingtao instead of mrs dai or zxt.

How can ml not fall utterly and hopelessly in love with fl after what she did (burnt that letter/evidence).

Not only that, he's too immature. I prefer 3rd miss than him

Xingtang only wanted to be herself, she despises being referred/associated to Zhao and Dai. They treat her like a commodity. Only LX understood Xingtang.

idc for the other bro, he's back in Jianling so he's safe.

Thank you! That explains it and it makes sense. Ancient people are so well literate with these metaphors and such.

You are our drama encyclopedia. I knew I can count on you haha

Stupid cctv 8 decided to switch to 1 ep insead of 2. There's a new drama that airs right after atc. People suspect it's to ride off ATC's high so that drama has a chance. Since tencent follows cctv 8 schedule they also changed to 1 ep daily, but they will offer express for the last few eps.

I've lost interest scrolling through AI dramas. idk what I'll do when this drama ends. It's hard for any drama to top this.

Against the current is now 33491 and have taken the 3rd spot!
