Thank you! I’ll continue with the book then. Hopefully I’ll finish it before the drama airs.

I’ve been patiently reading till now, but I guess I will start skipping parts now, since the book is dragging and slow now. Ill let you know when I’m done with the story. This is my first novel about a drama I am yet to watch. I’ve read MXTX’s books, and Sue Lynn Tan’s, since they were available as physical books translated in English. I never knew of websites like mydramanovel where one could read english translations of books that have been made into dramas. Whenever I used to read discussions on MDL about a drama with reference to the novels, I was in awe that so many people know mandarin, just to be able to read the novels! I was so dumb!

Then I guess I’ll keep reading :)

Have you read the novel? I’m on chapter 70, it is soooo long!

Yeupp thanks! I’ve started the book.

Thank you. After reading your reply I looked and looked but could find the recent discussions section. Turns out I was looking for it in the app. Then I checked the website and there it was. I feel like such a fool :)

I also thought she looks and sounds like Bai Lu :) In fact, I love that her voice is not childish and that she delivers her dialogues with some speed which makes them look natural.

Which novel is this series based on? Where can I find an english version please?

I completely agree! I had been seeing heavy period dramas all summer and this one was a breath of fresh air. I don’t think I ever laughed so much seeing any other period drama!

I think around the time they get married, around episode 32-34. There is no episode where he has to choose, the FL describes what will happen to the ML and he makes arrangements to save her as well as her sister. Hope this helps

Right, but I still felt it was funny how in one scene she was so sick and in the next she was moving logs to look for him, all decked up and bejewelled. Her brother looked more realistic on the other hand dressed up in rags throughout.

I am on episode 31, and thought he show has been good so far, our FL, however pretty and a good actress she might be, looks a bit too old for a 20-year old princess. No offence intended, I do like her, and loved her in the untamed and in Blossom. In the end of episode 30, we see her unconscious because of the poison, and in the beginning of episode 31, she has changed into a different attire, done up her hair and jewellery and is searching for the ML who went in to get her the antidote. Is it a flaw in direction or am I not seeing the reason here?

I liked Prisoner of Beauty too. You are right about xianxia shows, they are centered around love, misunderstandings and happy endings!

Wow! I’m on episode 27, and it doesn’t seem likely till ep 27. I’m excited to see how the circumstances will change. Thank you for replying.

I’m currently on episode 10, one question please…..when do the leads get married?

I am right there with you! Zhang Luyin might have done many bad things, and he would have got retribution at some point, but being so publically humiliated by his own wife, I was also hoping Zang Hai would help him, and also feeling very sorry for Zhang Zhixin who gave it his all to secure first position in the martial examination. Clearly no character here is without flaws, and each one will have to pay for their misdoings. Even Zang Hai wouldn’t feel happy once his revenge is over, it will leave him bitter and cynical as it is.

Seeing how confused she was by his accusation, I don’t think she’s the one. A ten year old little girl
cannot plot the massacre of an official’s family. She must be looking for the Gui seal as it rightly belongs to her family.

True! But he shot the FL!! Hope they clear the air soon between them!

I completely agree. At this point, I find nobody around him trustworthy. The masked man, his master, his female teacher, all appear dubious at times. We know for certain that the Marquis is a bad character and the main villian according to the ML, but somehow he is more in danger from the people around him who are covertly using him for their own purpose. I feel so far in the show only Xiang Antu has openly helped him or harmed him, and he always knows what she has done. either good or bad. I wish I’m overthinking and his teachers finally come out to be honest people who are not using him.
