I love the Emperor! He’s so understanding and funny.
“How many daughter does Mr. Cheng Shi have? Only 1? How could he only have 1? He’s so useless.” Hahaha Seemingly funny but we know he’s hoping LBY isn’t heartbroken.
Questions about Third Uncle from ep 12 and his character.
When Third Uncle and Lou Yao came to camp after the fight, Third Uncle found Third Aunt in the carriage. He said to her Lou Yao was weak and fainted three times, but fortunately he himself was calm.
Meanwhile, Lou Yao told his side of the story to CSS that it was Third Uncle who fainted 3 times.
I don’t know if the translation was done correctly; and if it were, that meant someone was lying. Who’s telling the truth?
Between those two, I believe Lou Yao more because he seemed more naive and gullible. But what would that say about Third Uncle’s character? Did he say that to Third Aunt so she wouldn’t be worried why they came so late? Or was it to hide his shortcomings and embarrassment for his inability to protect her because she could have died? Depending on his reason for telling that allegedly lie, he may not be an upstanding and honest person as he appeared to be.
Up to ep 10 and Ah Fei remains my favorite character.
For some reason , Qiqi reminds me of actress/comedian Awkwafina. It’s not the face, but how she carries herself , demeanor, body movements, the way she talks, etc.
look like it will be, there was data on local TV, but with cdramas I believe 100% only when see first episode))
Speaking from personal experience, refrain from reading the novel. It takes away the element of surprise when watching the show, especially one that airs over several weeks. Read it AFTER the show of you still enjoy the storyline very much.
What dramas are you watching right now? I’m switching to Kdramas until some more Cdrama costume dramas will…
Eve is extremely toxic and neurotic. It’s so heavy I can only handle 1-2 episodes a week, which happens to be the rate of new episode release anyway. The FL is well cast for her role though.
Ep 36Chi and ZPE relationship is so good now. Love their back and forth, they feel like really good friends that…
It’s funny you’re puzzled over who does Lei Jing serve —- because I have the same question in a recent episode!
After some thoughts, I feel he serves the Emperor in the open . However, he sides with the Empress which means he would also yield to Mr. Xiao if needed since Mr. Xiao also sides with the Empress and is of higher ranking than Lei Jing.
did his father (xiao qinyan) really mean to kill PanEr, or did his younger brother (xiao wei) make that all up?…
Mr. Xiao’s character is extremely deep and has been very hard to read since the beginning. Nothing is what it seems when it comes to him. For a long time, I’ve been hoping he’s a nice father and is simply misunderstood by the stubborn GQF. However, towards the end of the drama, I’m beginning to see him through GQF’s discerning eyes, especially since the “repay in blood” scene in severing all ties. Normally, I would still grant Mr. Xiao the benefit of doubt but given there are only a few episodes left, his conniving ways are more damning as there isn’t enough time for the director/ scriptwriter to patch their relationship up nicely. With that as an indicator along with other tellings, I would have to label Mr Xiao as a hidden villain with many faces — that means his intention to kill Pan’er is rather positive.
At this point, we know the Empress is the ultimate player in court who has the ability to disarm the powerful Qi Mu with Ou Yang’s planning. Mr. Xiao is also implicated, and to clear the Empress’s suspicion of his loyalty, Mr Xiao plans to kill Pan’er and places the blame on Qi Mu to be on the Empress’s good side again. This part is truly convoluted.
The editing is poorly done the last few episodes. I feel too much content is packed in and not enough time is spent explaining from many angles from ep 36 onward. Nevertheless, I still enjoy this drama immensely. Two more episodes to go!

Thoughts?
CSS is so quick in taking control during difficult time. She really shines.
Ah Fei and Qi, LBY’s dynamic duo, continue to be my top favorites.
CSS and LBY’s connection is getting stronger. Looking forward now to more episodes.
Gosh, make me sound like a pervert.
