Rosalia Scarlet

He is the exact copy of his father.

Suddenly I remembered something.

He is more annoying on the novel. He doesn't care about other people except himself and Dou Zhao. He can harm and hurt people with smile and proud on his face. Once he even sold Dou Ming onto human traffickers! She is traumatized and scared of Ji Yong since then. He did dirty things to make Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao cancel their marriage and he showed no remorse when Dou Zhao scolded him. They are still friends, but Dou Zhao treats him a bit coldly. Ji Yong cares for her until the end, and hates Song Mo even after years.
Tbh the drama toned down his cruelty a lot.

I have read the novel 3 times bcos it is so good and has happier atmosphere. I don't read the first 65 or so chapters though. I like the novel bcos:
1. The villains get different punishments.
2. Everyone has their own love lines and happily married as well.
3. A lot of good people, with only a few villains.
4. Everything is described in details.

There is Jiang family,which is a family famous for their meritorious deeds to the country. Jiang Meisun is Duke Ding. Duke Ding and Jiang Huisun are siblings. Jiang Huisun married Duke Ying, Song Yichun. They have a son, Song Mo.

Song Yichun hates Jiang family for their merits, power and influence, especially bcos Duke Ding is the emperor's old friend. That's why he hates Madam Jiang, his wife.

Song Yichun has a lover. When Madam Jiang was pregnant with the SECOND child, his lover was also pregnant. Song Yichun then swapped their children. So, Song Han is his mistress's son. While Madam Jiang gave birth to a daughter. This daughter's fate is unknown.

On the novel, the daughter is raised by the mistress, but gets abused, sold and raped. Dou Zhao told Song Mo he has a sister. So he ordered Chen Jia to save her. She then given a new name, Jiang Yan, and lives in Song Mo's mansion.

Tbh I don't even know if Jiang Yan will appear bcos she is not on the cast list. Also, she is supposed to marry Chen Jia, however in the drama, Chen Jia has a love line with Zhao Zhangru, Dou Zhao's cousin.

I even wondered if the mother and son who are saved by Song Mo from the bandits, saying they are looking for her daughter, is related to Song Mo's sister. Could it be that Su Yan is actually Song Mo's sister? I prefer not...

Eunuch Wang Ge, Song Yichun (Song Mo's father), Dou Shishu (Dou Zhao's fifth uncle), Su Yan (a female official works for the empress).

In one scene, Ansu is seen crying over his dead body...

I was thinking about it too. The kid said they are looking for his sister. Please don't tell me it is Su Yan... 😒

She is. She wants his son to be the emperor, not the crown prince. That's why they killed Duke Ding and now they are targeting Song Mo.

Ep 29.
Dou Zhao is pregnant 🎉😆
Song Mo will be so happy!

I don't read the novel. Once I found out the novel is 900+ chapters long and 15 girls for 1 man, I gave up 😅

For sure, the drama and novel are different.

First, on the novel, ML married the big sister. She died, then he married her little sister.

Song Yichun HATES the Jiang family and his wife. He had a lover, but was forced to marry Madam Jiang by the previous Duke Ying. The previous Duke Ying thought Song Yichun is incompetent and useless, so he planned to pass his title to Song Mo.

Song Mo has been excellent literary and military, he is fast in learning, smart, outstanding child. He is greatly favored by the emperor. His uncles helped raised and trained him. Song Yichun is jealous of Song Mo and afraid people would support him. That's why he keeps trying to tarnish Song Mo's reputation and eventually kicks him out of family registry. He wants to pass the title to Song Han bcos he can be controlled, unlike Song Mo, whom he calls rebellious, evil, unfilial. Song Yichun NEVER cares about his sons. He only cares more his reputation, and title.

Fyi, the "Duke Ying" status is inherited to firstborn legitimate son. If Song Mo has a son, the title will be passed onto his son. Song Yichun wants to keep his title for a long time, but people keep saying how brilliant Song Mo is and urge him to retire soon.

Someone said it is their bed scene 🤭 but maybe they will do it earlier.

The girls come one after another, either bcos they died or left the ML eventually.

The emperor pardoned him from mourning. If not, he had to wait 3 years to marry Dou Zhao and by that time, she would be 26 y.o and who knows whom she will married to.

On the novel she was introduced from chapter 400+. She got married to Song Han, the ML's little brother and found out he is a jerk. She then sides with Dou Zhao (FL) and stays away from Song family feud. In the end she divorced her husband.

In the drama, she is FL's childhood friend who do business together. Basically a merchant's daughter. She will marry Song Han, but seems like this time she is in love with him. Let's just hope she won't foolishly love him... Now, her story arc is about to begin.

Song Mo killed his father and brother in the previous life. He was then called as rebellious, unfilial, ungrateful, demon bcos no one knew why he did that. Dou Zhao wants Song Mo to live a happy life and doesn't want him to repeat the past and become a demon. She understood he had no one to share his burdens and loneliness in the previous life and before marrying her. That's why she keeps saving him everytime he is in trouble, keeping him in the good path.

We're finally done with Dou Ming and Wang Yingxue 👍🏻
Let's move on to Ansu and Madam Jiang's death 🙋‍♀️

Tbh I'm glad they followed closely to the novel since the wedding: Duke Ying and his subordinate were fooled, calculating properties, Wei Tingzhen vs Dou Ming, miscarriage, fire and robbery, assigned by the emperor to investigate.
I'm just worried about Ansu. She fell for beauty trap. Run for your life! Save yourself! 😱

They copied produce. The sneak peek ranking is to urge the fans of the "shown" trainees to vote more, so that the trainees the staff don't want to debut will drop.

Usually sexy concept won, seems like this time popularity won...
