When he returns to the real world, the FL remains there for 15 years (major spoiler if you need i can tell !). This allows him to mature into adulthood, and upon the FL's return, her time also resumes, making them roughly the same age, paving the way for their romance.

In the real world, his timeline was paused, so when he returned, he was still the same teenager he was when he left.

I think you should watch up to episode 10; it should clarify things.

Bro add SPOILER tag!!

Well, he transmigrated 15 years ago! Poor child.

I think it should be revealed by or before episode 20.

According to the novel, the Empress Dowager gives him slow poison.

Actually, the reason is that, according to the novel, before the female lead transmigrated, Wang Yin was known for her cunning nature and always envied the consorts favored by the emperor, playing tricks on them. Remember the epilogue where the SFL's maid said she was pushed into the water? It was Wang Yin(not the now transmigrated FL)! Now that the female lead has transmigrated, the plot still follows, but people now hate her, as they believe she manipulates the emperor. Thus, she's called the demonic consort - poor girl, even without doing anything, the plot makes her evil.

Yup, with a miscarriage.

Bro, whenever I watch your pfp, I only have one thought:
"SUN jeaAAAAAA"(❁´◡`❁)

Give the ending OST a big round of applause! After the new end credits, I always have tears whenever I listen to that OST. 🥹🥹

I heard she's said she'll now take on modern drama scripts. Lord, it's been years since I've seen her in any modern dramas!

I think she was acting according to the plot; she's a 2D character with a sealed fate. She was just caring for her lady.

I loved the drama, but I'm concerned that Bai Lu might have been pressured to take this role. Her eyes seem tired, and I'm worried. As a Bai Lu fan, I'm just expressing my concern; she needs a break.

After ep 12
I need a Guide to kill Empress Dowager

* 15 years

Yes, she is from the same world as the leads. The female lead wants Yong Er to reveal details about the novel because the female lead only has a general understanding. She pretends to be the author and calls her "Chun Chun" because only the author and novel readers know that nickname. Hearing "Chun Chun," and possibly due to the wine, she starts to believe it's the author and spills important plot points.

Yes, they will meet again in the modern world. The male lead waits for the female lead for 15 to 16 years because she was in the novel. He has to wait 15 years for every time spent in the novel.

Why The new outro is Like they are saying goodbye😩🥹("it's emotional")

Wang Chu Ran is the best choice for the female lead; her aura feels dominating, like a cunning fox. She's noticeably different from many Chinese actresses.
