At least Fu doesn't have a creepy ex-husband 😅 two is enough for me to watch

I don’t see any of these so called hints (but i cant stand him)🤣🤣🤣. I just find him more and more self centered with every scene 🤣😅. Honestly, I hope there’s no redemption arc for him, the only acceptable "redemption" would be him disappearing from the FL’s life forever. But, of course, he’s way too selfish for that, so I’m not holding my breath 🥲

The husband finds her, and we have to listen to his nonsense for a few minutes before she leaves 😅

I'm watching on Viki, but it's always one episode behind

I think your response is a bit too harsh. The original comment wasn’t meant to be offensive it was just a critique about makeup styling, not about Yang Zi herself. There’s no need for personal attacks when we’re all here to discuss dramas and share opinions respectfully 🙂

He is so annoying, and all his self-pity, excuses, and self-righteousness are completely out of place for someone like him. He’s one of those people who showers himself with compliments that don’t even remotely apply to his actions or character. It’s infuriating how he tries to paint himself as the victim or someone noble who intended to do better, while conveniently ignoring the harm he caused. His inflated self-perception and refusal to take true accountability just make him even more unbearable. I feel bad for FL having to deal with him again and again

Unfortunately, she will not manage to get the divorce papers, but she will escape sometime around episode 6

"He Weifang had been married to me for a year, and I only realized what kind of person she really was in the last few days, and how the Liu family had failed her. I used to be indifferent to her; I really intended to make amends. What a pity. There is no opportunity anymore." I was so p*ssed when Liu Chang said this. His so called regret feels completely hollow, not rooted in genuine remorse but steeped in selfpity. He frames himself as a passive bystander, conveniently blaming his family for everything while absolving himself of responsibility. His indifference and neglect are brushed aside, as though his sudden desire to 'make amends' could magically erase a year of mistreatment. This isn’t love or accountability, it’s selfishness and possession. He laments what he has lost, not what He Wei Fang endured. Worse, he even attempted to r*pe her, but in his twisted mind, that was "acceptable" because she was his wife. 🤮🤮🤮 His so-called reflection isn’t about her pain; it’s about his guilt and ego. I just hope he gets the ending a man like him truly deserves

Thank you😊

Yes, he's doing a great job! I really enjoy when actors take on secondary roles in dramas; it allows them to interpret less conventional or less likeable characters compared to what they do in main roles

Remember, when they start something too soon, there’s always an infinite number of annoying tropes: misunderstandings, sacrifices for the "greater good" without telling their partner, amnesia, bizarre obstacles, and so on. So, a 🐌-paced romance is definitely better for our nerves 🤣😅. Your patience will thank you by the end! 🤣

I think her vengeance will be something she achieves in the long term, one day when she becomes powerful on her own and strong enough to take them down

I’m happy he’s not constantly in her face, trying to be the knight in shining armour without any real reason especially since they’re barely even friends at this point. Even if their relationship were to develop further, he’d still need to respect her boundaries and only step in if she genuinely needs or asks for help. I can’t stand those MLs who cling like glue, assuming they know the FL’s needs better than she does herself (spme find it romantic, i dont). It’s refreshing to see a dynamic where the FL is given space to handle her own problems instead of being overshadowed by a "hero complex."

Yes, thank you for suggesting I continue watching 🥰

No, please no more palace struggles and politics. I need a break from all that. 😅 This is actually the first show with Yang Zi that I’m really enjoying not necessarily because of her as an actress, but because her previous shows just weren’t my cup of tea. I did like her male version in Lost You Forever, but not so much when she transitioned back to being a girl. Again, not her fault it was the character I just couldn’t click with. What I love about this show is how the FL and ML each have their own things going on. I wouldn’t mind if their stories intertwine more later, and maybe they’ll even have to truly work together beyond just the business aspect. But for now, I’m really enjoying their independence. They both have their own struggles and challenges to overcome, which makes the story much more engaging for me. And honestly, this show is clearly more about the FL anyway the title Flourished Peonies says it all! In Chinese culture, peonies symbolize beauty, strength, and growth, often representing feminine resilience. This perfectly aligns with the story’s focus on the FL’s journey of flourishing despite her challenges. It’s about her personal and professional growth, making her the centerpiece of the narrative. The ML complements her story, but the title reinforces that her development and triumph are the heart of the show

This show reminds me a bit of Dream of Splendor, which I absolutely love. I’m actually glad the leads aren’t interacting too much, and he’s not constantly saving her, it gives her space to develop as a character outside of the romance. Sure, she wouldn’t have gotten far without him funding her business, but that actually makes it more realistic. It’s not like she could start a business from scratch just because she had great ideas, especially without the proper documents or support. On the romance side, I really appreciate the slow burn. When leads start liking each other too soon, they always seem to break up repeatedly just to create drama, and I hate that. A slower approach feels much more natural. Also, I love that the fl isn’t some flawless superwoman. She makes mistakes in judgment when dealing with people. She’s clever and business-savvy, but she’s still human, she can’t predict everything. For instance, I totally get why she trusted that creepy guy. Normally she wouldn’t, but she was so desperate, starving, and out of options that she wanted to believe in anything. Honestly, I might have done the same in her position. BTW, I just finished episode 9, and wow, what a suffering seeing her self-proclaimed righteous (he is anything but) husband again. 🤮

I was trying not to watch it now, as I am watching too many dramas and am struggling a bit. You are not the first person to say this, and I am feeling weak; I will probably have to start it even though I am already watching too many things 😱😱😱

Don’t worry, his feeling bad isn’t redemption for us viewers it’s just frustrating (regardless of what the writers are trying to achieve). I don’t see his so-called remorse as redemption at all it feels more like an insult to the FL. It’s honestly disgusting. He’s not helpless either; let’s not forget they were demoted because of his relationship with the princess in the first place. His parents may have taken his decisions away from him, but he let them. Instead of taking responsibility, he spent his time cluelessly complaining like a spoiled brat whenever things didn’t go his way, yet he never truly opposed them. Then there’s the way he treated his wife. He only ever thought about himself, neglecting her completely while pining after the princess. Even when the princess came back, he was still only thinking of himself. And for someone so “in love” with the princess, he didn’t even bother to find out what had happened to her during those three years that made her the person she is now. No, he decided he didn’t want her because she no longer fit the idealised image of the woman he once loved. Now, he’s decided he wants his wife. Why? Because it suits him. There’s no accountability, no understanding, and no genuine effort to grow. His supposed remorse feels shallow because it’s not about the harm he caused it’s about what he wants at the moment. His actions just show that he’s a selfish person, treating the people in his life like objects to fit his own desires. It’s not redemption it’s entitlement. I really hope they don’t try to push his redemption down our throats, especially when the only way he could ever earn it is by staying far away from the FL, the princess, and his psycho family. He should focus on building a better life for himself with another woman, becoming a better person completely removed from their lives. Only then could he have a shred of redemption by doing the work on his own, not at the expense of FL. But let’s be honest, we already know he’s just going to stick around and annoy us in the future. His presence alone is irritating, and the idea of him forcing himself into FL’s life again just makes it worse 🤮 kudos to miles for portraying such a disgusting guy. ps and I'm only at ep 7 😅

🥰

But I'm not here asking people to trust my taste, just asking something about the show 🙄. We can't all like the same things; the world would be boring. Yes, normally I watch more episodes to form an opinion, but I was so busy that I am behind in watching different shows, so I prefer asking others to help me decide; mostly people are very helpful in the comment section 🙂
