I'm jealous you are still making your way through TLB and haven't even started this one yet!

Thank you! That’s what I thought. I think people read that the tiger seal wasn’t part of the novel and just ran with it that everything is deviating too 🙄

I still like him, but it's the fans that are the problems - sometimes they can be so crazy and obsessive. Meanwhile the actors don't even know they exist lol.

I also tried to reason with them but they were not having it lol. Seriously delusional.

There was this unhinged YY stan on the WRTW page who was spouting all kinds of hate on ZLS, calling her unprofessional etc., and everything we've heard about her is how professional and likable she is. That fan could not have been reasoned with.

Does anyone who read the novel know what happens when LBY goes to battle in episodes 41-42 (according to the previews)? Was that in the novel and when he gathers more evidence around what happened with his family? I just want to emotionally prepare myself for what might happen after lol.

I actually never noticed that! I need to watch more closely next time haha

You are interpreting the previews wrong. CSS does not get engaged to YS when LBY leaves for battle in ep 41, that will happen later. He will come back and take revenge for his family, and THEN he and CSS get separated for 5 years, during which she'll get engaged to YS out of obligation to the empress, nothing else. But LBY will come back from exile and reconcile with CSS.

I think this was also mainly a rumor/theory that blew up because of the birds kissing scene in TLB. There was never actual confirmation that he had a "no kissing" clause.

I actually thought WL and Dilraba had nice chemistry in TLB (and their offscreen press junkets had even better chemistry), and similarly ZLS and YY had nice chemistry in WRTW, BUT they pale in comparison to what WL and ZLS have in LLTG lol. It might be best to wait until LLTG is finished for a while to watch those so you aren't always comparing (though that might not be possible). As someone else said, I would recommend Cross Fire, which doesn't really have a ton of romance but the story is amazing.

I can't stand him and fast-forward all his scenes lol. I don't find him funny, just bitter and jealous

Truly who does he think he is? He’s seething with jealousy

What is the 5th princess planning to do to ruin SS’s reputation?

I have my finger on the fast-forward button whenever he appears. I don’t care if he improves, I just can’t.

On the Tencent app, the Chinese characters on the screen says it's episode 7 but the English translation says 34 lol so it's equally confusing from the official source.

Just because they get married at that age doesn't mean they mature faster than today's 15-16 year olds. Add to that CSS didn't have anyone to teach her the proper way to do things her whole life.

I can’t believe they made people pay for ADOS episodes early and not allow them to AirPlay or cast the episodes on a bigger screen. That was so messed up.

I totally agree. People are being very dramatic and forget she’s only 15. How many people did dumb things when they were 15? Also a couple of episodes should not negate the positive qualities she has shown before this. And like you said, the majority of her maturing and character development will happen during the 5 years she lives in the palace and is separated from LBY and we are still several episodes away from that.

Not until the very end most likely, since they'll be separated for 5 years before their initial wedding date.

From the previews, the next few episodes all look like they'll be really good, especially 33-34 and 37-38. 2 episodes within 32 episodes is not a big deal.
