I hoped that at least in this drama, the ML would go back to being the same ruthless person he was in the first episode, but no , he never really returned to that, pity. I was happy with the outcome for the sisters and the scholar. Bai Luo turned out exactly the way we all suspected from the very beginning. The last six episodes were really unnecessary; it felt like I was watching a completely different drama. They could have wrapped it up nicely much earlier.
All in all, it was a nice drama, nothing groundbreaking. We’ve seen this kind of formula before in dramas like The Double, Blossom, and Story of the Kunning Palace, but it’s still a good watch, especially for those who haven’t already seen the dramas mentioned above.
Am I the only one who found Pei creepy, weird with bad vibes? I saw people on X having a second lead syndrome…
I don’t have second lead syndrome, nor do I find him creepy. At the same time, I don’t think he’s a good person either, it’s quite clear that he’s capable of anything in order to stay on top.
After watching the first 8 episodes, I am more or less satisfied with this drama. I think, however, that I’m watching it mainly for Lu Yu Xiao. This actress has a special charm, she has that something that draws you in: her voice, her beauty, she is a good actress. Her outfits in the VR world are stunning!!!!
The ML is not familiar to me; I haven’t watched any dramas with him before. I had the impression that he was older, but it turns out he’s only 29.
The 2ML seemed familiar to me; only now did I realize that he was one of the main roles in the drama “The Legends” with Bai Lu 😊
Overall, I would have liked this drama to take place more in the VR world and to have a more complex storyline. It seems to me that the ML + FL look much better there than in the real world,or maybe the VR-world outfit just makes the ML look better.😊😊
it's a a Cdrama never think mls will be ruthless after fall in love with fl and always expect him to be a simp…
Yeah, I was trying to remember if I’ve seen any historical dramas where the ML didn’t change for the FL, and I can’t think of many examples, maybe Blood River and The Legend of the Female General (although the title clearly focuses more on highlighting the FL).
Well we still have to remember that he is in the Rong family and still is pretending as he didn't recover his…
I don’t know if you’ve seen episode 17, but he told the FL his whole childhood story and how he became an Imperial Inspector, so he’s no longer pretending. The only thing he’s hiding from the FL is the real reason why he ended up in the Rong family.
1) I'm not a dude. 2) The user asked about kiss scenes, not about how serious a peck on the cheek was in those times. If it were really that serious, then the FL wouldn’t have dragged him onto the bed and groped him like she did, doesn’t that count as something way more intimate than a peck on the cheek?
I was expecting that after he recovered his memory, the ML would become the same ruthless person from the 1st episode, instead, he became soft like in all his other roles, and I don’t like it. I still hope things will change and that it won’t be the same as Shadow Love. We’re almost halfway through the drama, there’s still time…
I would respect the FL more if she hadn’t demanded fully honesty and transparency from him when all she does…
He infiltrated in the Rong family in a scheming manner right from the very beginning. It’s only natural for the FL to be scheming, she knows exactly what, and who, she’s dealing with.

And there are others as well where they planned and they are not xianxia or wuxia
