FINALLY I find one good thing about ZXW, he is being a good Lord and making sure everybody pay for their crimes…
I find HRZ'us acting very distracting due to his eye surgery (double-lid)... It just feels not realistic some how. For actors, the eyes are the windows to the soul. If they are not real, they just become distractions. I don't watch Kdramas whose actresses have eyes surgery because of the same reason. Maybe it's just me ... I watch the eyes a lot more than other features of the face.
I find that the script writers of the drama are very clever. We know that the ending will be in the real world. But we still don't know if she will end up alone or not. So still have to watch the last episode to know ... very good marketing trick. In stories like this in which there is a novel, 3 MLs, and the novel already revealed the end game, It's good marketing strategy for them to rewrite and maintain the suspense.
With the women empowerment movement in China and Hollywood, and she kept saying "as expected, love will cause you to make mistakes" , it's probably a hint.
From the comments, it looks like the story might only be happening in Hua Qian's dreams while she is in a coma.…
Besides, the story is very entertaining ... the way the story is artistically filmed like a Jane Austen movie is fun to watch. Sometimes the journey is more than the destination. I don't mind seeing the dream unfolding, the aesthetics, etc ...

It's not a waste of time if the FL changed and grew from the dreams.. and we can see the process ... if she can be redeemed through her evolving character development ... besides, anything can happen ... it's a story.
Husband needs to have a bad ending!! I can’t really ship her with the bodyguard since HQ treats him like her…
In the drama he is dreamy (because the writers made it idealistic ... but you can see that there are lots of ladies surrounding him) In the novel, she thinks that eventually he will get bored with her with the influx of new concubines.
Ending 1: she will end up with 3rd ML ... as it is in the book.Ending 2: She will end up with both MLs depending…
Yes in life 1: ML saves her and burns the incense for her ... if she lives, she MIGHT end up with him ... this is the new ending. In life 2: she ends up with 3rd ML
