And also Wang’s daughter I guess ( the one introduced in last episode) !? That’s what I am reading from rumours. She will be his first wife according to books.

Not sure why you felt like FL actions weren’t attractive. She knew both were in love and she was following him to make him confess what they had felt for each other. For sure there is nothing wrong with it ? I am afraid if there is another graceful way to handle a guy who was running away in an assumption that this is the best he can do for the person he loves.

On the other hand 2ML who you consider too good did even worse petty actions. When ML was blamed for a wrongful acquisition over his dad, 2ML used the chance to distance ML from FL. Soon when he made sure that his past isn’t exposed, he hurried to coerce FL despite her lack of interest in him. Even in the beginning, FL was brought to work for him because he knew her personally ( according to his confession in later episodes ). So he wanted to use work as a reason to get close to her. Almost everything 2ML done was to get her love. Though 2ML was pitiful for losing both his loves in the way he did, he had much more selfish motives behind all his actions.

Doesn’t really matter. Ning Yi character didn’t have the spark required when it was left alone in S1. Song Yi made the scenes vivid and pleasant.

The motives are sprinkled here and there in conversations in subtle way. Maid Hong is still a puzzle but other person’s characters are slightly established now,

Ep 9

Welcome lol 😅. Guess Psychologist is over then,

Check Douban score for other c- dramas of recent times. Most of them don’t even touch 5. And yes, douban ratings are mostly low for whatever the reason and cannot be considered very seriously.

It has the ending of important characters.

Writing is bad. But you can still get an idea.

Yes and also peace.

Ahh, too bad then.

That’s about the dream of the people who fought for new Liang. They wanted to free the kingdom from the aristocratic / royal family holds.

So he elaborated that now Imperial exams can be used by anyone who want to rise above their level and achieve something. But before that it was only aristocratic families who recommended people for positions and thus no opportunities for common people.

Basically the head of such aristocratic families is royal family who wants XFN younger brother to rule North Laing since they believe he can be used as their pawn. Most of the aristocratic families have sur name Zhao.

His younger brother is not a strategist despite having super power. So he can easily be manipulated and used by Royal family as their pawn. Chen Zhi Pao has some hatred in his heart which could lead to war. Giving throne to other army elite can result in faction wars inside army itself. So Xu Xiao believes XFN is the best option considering he is very similar to himself when it comes to scheming and strategise.

Even Chinese dramas have a similar pattern. Do evil throughout the drama and finally do one good deed by the end and get a happy closure.

Yes, translations aren’t very interesting. This link appears to have more chapters translated but quality isn’t good. I didn’t read it.

There are subtle hints in future episodes that Jiang Mi have the strength to be swordsman. Xu Feng Nian’s mother believed that he will fall in love with a skilful martial arts woman and has left her sword as betrothal gift which will be Jiang Mi’s.

Thanks for the spoiler.

If you didn’t get absorbed into the drama in first 4 episodes, it will be hard for you to cross next 25 episodes. These episodes explores the relationships and household struggles of our leads. There won’t be much action or wuxia type godly things. But mostly how people pretend, scheme, manipulate in subtle manner like real life.

Just wanted to see if you had set your expectations clear (:
And yes, this drama will feel draggy if the drama fail to connect with you.

Completed the drama in quick time. Only complaint I have is that there is no 74th episode.

There are few fight scenes but the strong point of this drama is highlighting several relationships and their conversations which easily gets overshadowed in every other dramas. Many times you get awed and absorbed into the fine details of her life and rewatch again and again to feel it.

Don’t remember exactly. But by ep 22 we will literally hate her. She would always run into the traps of SML and stay at night which will create rumours and thus annoying ML. Similarly she will respect and value SML more when it comes to profession, so she will listen to everything SML says and will ignore ML 😅. Eventually ML will ask FL to do her project without SML but instead FL will decide to part ways from ML.
