Yes. That too.

From what I understand, and I might be off the mark, in ancient times both parties have to write a divorce letter to each other to be officially recognized as divorced. I guess since she hadn't written one it's not official.

PXJ was demoted because he was against making Wu Zetian queen. Historically, she became the first empress of China and a defacto ruler before that accesion of the Tang Dynasty. Later it turned out PXJ wasn't against being banished from Chang'an (the capital city of the empire) to Xizhou because he got the message that the clans there are in conflicts and rebels abound. It wasn't really a demotion because his rank is still the same but more a banishment/punishment in disguise to pacify Xizhou for the emperor/Tang Dynasty.

As for the grand princess, she will eventually fade out once they head to Xizhou. Couple times are bountiful so you can rest assured.

Because majority of the assets she holds are Pei Xingjian's, or rather his deceased parents'. She doesn't want PXJ to get marry or have a child. As then most of the wealth she currently holds will be handed over to his offspring. The first wife suffered at her hands what LL is currently experiencing. Unfortunately, the first wife wasn't strong enough.

Viki should have it available on December 12. With the long awaited English subtitle. Yeah!!

I found out another detail. Apparently there was supposed to be a friendly fight scene between Pei Xingjian and Qu Chong Yu in the last episode. What a pity. I would have love to see that and I think would beat what was shown instead. Oh, well.

It will air in Thailand on December 21st. South Korea has purchased the license but no air date yet.

Looks like Taiwan will see this on December 15. I think slowly, based on some of the bits and pieces below, the drama will roll out to other regions and hopefully worldwide. With English subtitle and other languages.

You're welcome. 🙂

Zhejiang TV is rerunning the drama again today, starting from episode 1. It had a good rating, although not the best, of .259 (I did a manual calculation so might be off a few points) ranking third place in primetime for the year for this Satellite station. Congrats!

Correction: official rating is .253

You won't be disappointed in this aspect. I even think they should tone it done. 😂

I simply don't understand why you attack me in the first place if all you want to tell me is that I shouldn't praise Xu Weizhou and/or the male lead character Pei Xingjian. I made my position clear. If you are not satisfy then that's on you. You can praise your favorites all you want. Anyone can do the same. However, I refuse to lower myself to your level of hypocrisy. I post to have discussion and whether there is a reply or not it's not up to me. People will have to take the initiative to reply. Like you, who created an account just to attack me. Adios.

Wait, are you hearing yourself? Can you reread what you typed?

You're saying, correct me if I am wrong, I cannot praise the actor and character that I did research on and liked? I have to praise someone else that you think should be praised? If you are jealous that you cannot do the same to your favorite actress/actor, then I can't do anything about it. You have to reflect on it yourself. Whether this praise will make anyone like Xu Weizhous is on them, I have nothing to do with that except comment what I personally see and feel. I am sure every one is capable of making personal decision to like someone or not.

And last, this page barely has any comments/posts/replies except you and me now. I can't post because there's no one else posting? What kind of logic is this. I watched it and make my comments, that is not spamming. Spamming and trolling is you right now. What is your purpse of spamming me? I have a purpose to post in the first place. Unless you have a valid reason I don't see why I should stop posting because you don't like the why I praise the character and actor I like. You are more than welcome to do so for yours.

Lol, you are quite busy. I'm a patient person. Do I care if Xu Weizhou is famous or not? No. Like I said in other post, even if he has no fan I will be his only fan. Does popularity matter so much to you? I don't see it that way. I follow him because he's multi-talented.

About Wu Zetian, she is in the drama so why can't I mention her. I don't mention the actress name but her role. There are many mismatch of her role, Liuli. If it's according to the book then it makes sense but the drama is filmed without the time traveling theme. Until you watched it you won't know what I am talking about. Come back after you've finished the drama.

ps. And, no, I haven't watched the female centric dramas you mentioned. Not my cup of tea. :)

No, sadly, not a cent. :(

Hello, troll. No, I have not watched the dramas you mentioned. I have not seen your favorite actress' work except these two with Xu Weizhou. Yes, Pei Xinjian is smart. He was a real person, a famous Chinese general in the early Tang Dynasty. Xizhou was the place he pacify for the Tang Dynasty. Look him up. You might learn something.

Yes, I prefer male themes, so arrest me. :)

Yes, I am a female. Is something wrong with that? Also, until you can point and prove to me what unfavorable thing I wrote about the actress I think you should chill. You're embarrassing yourself.

I like Xu Weizhou and watch this drama for him. Even if he has no fan I would still like him. Each has their preference. I won't impose on your preference and you do the same to me, ok?

Hey, I have to burst your bubble. I watched this drama for Xu Weizhou not your favorite actress. No matter how much I like Xu Weizhou I will not betray my conscience and just blindly say this drama is perfect. There are plot holes and can be better than the final product.

Err, I think you might want to clean up your post because I'm a bit lost amongst between my comments you repost and your own replies.

After you have finished the drama, come back and we can definitely converse more.

Woah?! Huh? What are you talking? In what part did I say the female lead actress is bad? When did I even mention the actress? I mentioned the role, please learn to differentiate. I am honored but very confused that you created an account just to attack me. Are you ok?

I think you need reading comprehension. I replied that the plot will get better/shift starting from episode 30-31 as around late 20s episode the story starts to slow down in its pacing. I stated below that I, personally, did not enjoy the first few episodes in my earlier posts below, please read that. I have my personal preference and has nothing to do with the actors or actresses. I enjoyed Justice Bao series and martial arts movies that's why the male themes in this drama are more interesting to me. You can boast what or who you want but do not imposed on what I should like and not like. Got it?

By the way, yes, this season is much better than the first season. As I also stated below. We can agree the female lead character was not well written in the first season but much better this season and has nothing to do with the actress herself. The male lead has barely any role in season one and in this has many inexplicable editing in the actor's personal scenes but you don't see me complain except with the comparison from the novel. So, chill.

Edited: I see that the most important line of your rant is the last sentence you wrote. Until you have seen the drama, don't presume to know and don't attack people who has seen it. Another thing, I have not seen the other dramas you mentioned so no clue as to what you are talking about.

Starting 30-31 it will get better, until the end. Hang in there.
