Ep. 5-6: This is going well. Is shot in a very bright / daylight kind of way, with a clean tight-frame aesthetic.…
I always appreciate audience like you who spend times to analyze and learn about the characters and story 🤧
That eunuch doesn't suggest a new husband for the FL is bcos she keeps rejecting one and also bcos she just returned from political marriage. It isn't good to rush another marriage.
Being a princess's personal maid is actually a higher status than a scholar. With the princess's power, the maid can marry whomever she wants as the principal wife, with good amount of dowry. That's why he wants to achieve high status to marry her.
Almost every C-drama seems to give grand princesses the same storyline. They're treated as tools to secure peace,…
Grand princess actually means she is the sister of the current emperor.
In Royal Rumours, the emperor has 2 sisters and both happily married the ministers and both have daughters: one is friends with the FL, the other is the enemy.
In Legend of Two Sisters in the Chaos. The ML (emperor) has a sister who married the man she loves, but ends tragically bcos he is a fool. They could have a happy marriage if he wasn't stupid.
I am enjoying this. Its the Tang colors and Taoism but without so far the magicky side of mysticism.I like the…
MZY lost too much weight when she filmed BOP which angered her fans. They demanded her team to hire nutritionist. So she gain weight during the filming of TSTR.
If this isn’t absolutely wonderful I’m going to put it on the back burner, my plate is so excitingly full…
Questions: what type of FL and ML do you like?
FL here is fierce, arrogant, has bad temper, flirtatious, proud, domineering, loves power, fragile, hides a deep trauma. Definitely not the goody good type of FL.
ML is a poor scholar. He doesn't know martial arts, but scheming, smart, gentle, nerdy. His goal is to help people's welfare. At first he uses the FL to pass the exam and enter officialdom.
I I know it’s part of her costume but damn that Grand Princess has way too much blush on her face. Goes from…
You should know that it is the accurate makeup during Tang dynasty. You can check Flourished Peony for other example or Google for some pics or info. I appreciate that nowadays some drama follow the actual makeup, makes it more authentic.
I have seen some on novel that fl is sk harsh on ml
Indeed she is harsh. When she accidentally hurts him, she would regret it. She doesn't know how to treat him gently, but he doesn't mind. He has enough patience for her.
How could people judge and give rating just based on FOUR episodes? 😭Besides, i never trust the ratings on…
But low rating doesn't mean it's bad. It can be that only several people watched and voted. I have seen a lot of cases which made me wonder why people don't watch this masterpiece? It could be bcos the actors are older or visually not pleasing to them who are used to idol drama.
When I first read the novel, I fell in love with Mu Wanyao. She is completely different from other FL which makes me feel she is one of the most realistic FL ever. I read all novels that Meng Ziyi is the FL and Mu Wanyao is my second fave after Hua Liuli.
Mu Wanyao is complex. She hates and loves. She is stubborn and lonely. She flirts and seduce, but afraid of commitment. She is playful and childish. She is fierce, but fragile.
Yan Shang can see through her. That's why he keeps approaching her, wants to open her heart and wants her to rely on him.
At first, he uses her to gain profit: to pass the exam and enter the officialdom. It is HIM who needs her. She doesn't need a country bumpkin who has no power or money. But hey, let's call it an investment 😂
It’s been a full day how come there’s still no rating for this drama is it bad?
How could people judge and give rating just based on FOUR episodes? 😭 Besides, i never trust the ratings on mdl. I only trust the data on mainland. This drama almost breaks 25000 heat index in just 14 minutes.
I am okay with slow pace and world building but it still needs to be entertaining enough for me to click the next…
No need to ask people's opinions. Everyone has their own taste. Watch it yourself.
Here's another advice: if you feel somewhat hesitant, whether to watch or not, then DON'T WATCH IT! Why? It means you don't want to watch, but want people to convince you to watch. Then why bother forcing yourself?
ngl imma need fl to fall for him and fall harder she being a asshole
She isn't the type who falls in love easily considering her past, being abandoned and sacrificed. Everyone sees her as a mere pawn. She trusts no one. Even at the start, the ML also uses her to pass the exam and enter officialdom. That's why he treats her good.

He is in Journey of Flower. Until the end he continues to support the FL and also the only friend she has left.
He is also in Empress Reborn, as the brother emperor of the ML (Xie Jingxing).
In Legend of Shen Li, he is Shen Li's father. His love story with Shen Li's mother is adorable.
In Royal Rumours, the emperor has 2 sisters and both happily married the ministers and both have daughters: one is friends with the FL, the other is the enemy.
In Legend of Two Sisters in the Chaos. The ML (emperor) has a sister who married the man she loves, but ends tragically bcos he is a fool. They could have a happy marriage if he wasn't stupid.

More than worse...
She survived hell and returned to Chang'an with her own feet, then continued her life carrying those trauma.
But thank you for praising her acting! That's why the mainland and the industry love her, even casual audience like her acting 🤭
