Thank you for the reply. I hope they will show us exactly how this happened in the drama 🤞🏻

But in a way, in novels, MLs are more like your average guy. Find one man who will be strong enough not to cross the line and seek carnal pleasures when tempted over and over again (even when they know they are taking advantage). So I guess we could thank the censorship for giving us such respectful men to watch in dramas. 🤣 Even if it is so frustrating sometimes. 🙃

His novel counterpart?

I thought Ziyu would be the typical second male lead, only there to love the FL, cause drama, and be mopey. But he's been pretty chill so far, not annoying at all. I hope they give him his own story instead of making him a one-dimensional character as they usually do with this type of character. Did they change him from the novel?

The actor sometimes gives off this strange vibe, like the characters he portrays have some very dark secrets (which they don't). So, I think he would really do great in some anti-hero/villain/gray character with a spark of an unhinged personality. 😅 I'm saying it in a good way, of course, as he has this kind of mysterious aura in some scenes

🤣🤣🤣

The contrast between her serious explanation and the reality 😅 Normally, it would have been the other way around 🤣

While she was explaining the war strategies to the ladies, what on earth was that strange confrontation between the two armies? 😅😅😅😅🥲🥲🥲

Episode 14...

It is always about who has the largest army and whom the people support. I am not sure what the future holds for the empire with an empress dowager like her and a child emperor under her power 🤔

That guy was so annoying in AJTY with his weird, obsessive crush on the FL (even though she didn't even notice him) that I'll never forget him, haha. That part of the drama was so overly badly written and so unnecessary, it's like if they need to fill some trope quota 😅

Why did she become a bandit? She comes from an escort agency family, so why did she start committing crimes in the first place?

Question for the novel readers

I know that ML is in an impossible situation. He started something when he didn't know or care about the person. She was just one of those faceless people whom he could use for a greater good. But now that he is so emotionally entangled with her, he should do the right thing: tell her the truth. He should have told her when the situation with Lu Wen came to a standstill and she wasn't needed anymore as a pawn. Yes, it would hurt her and yes, he would lose her, but at least it would give him some integrity. Like this, she is not even a pawn, but his side girl to whom he can't even commit. She needs to be respected enough to be let go, to make her own decisions. He needs to face the consequences of his actions. As well, I would like her to know the truth now when she doesn't remember everything, as it would go more full circle. I'm sure that the other her is not 100% the same personality as now; those three missing years were important for her character development, so the person she is now, who was used and lied to, needs to know.

I'm not even sure if he is completely aware of how much he cares for her, but he is getting a glimpse of the fact that it won't end well once she knows the truth. So, he is stalling, making excuses, and welcoming every interruption with open arms. As much as I enjoyed their funny slice of life together, it is time for the story to move forward. Both of them are not 100% themselves: she because she doesn't have three years of her memories, and he because he is pretending to be this dandy/talentless husband. Then the most important thing: everything is standing on lies upon lies. They need to move towards the next arc, or else we will have one of those shows where they condense everything in the last few episodes 😱😱😱

He will get so buried under it. 🙄 I'm a bit behind in watching right now (episode 11), but I'm sure he still didn't come clean and won't at this point until she doesn't catch up with his lies. I was hoping he would say something once Lu Wen was untouchable and her being the pawn wasn't really a thing anymore, but no, he just doesn't want this illusion to end. Wish she would discover the truth before she regains all of her memories

He is capable of making his own decisions or mistakes, whichever you want to call them. I don't like her simply because she is the kind of character I really don't like, but it is not her fault for being forced to marry the Prince and have a child with him, or for her lover doing everything he has done to get her back. Just in general, these tropes (or storytelling shortcuts) are not for me, but whatever, I am still enjoying it 😎

Yes

Yue Yao was so happy about it. Imagine how annoying it would be to be loved just because you're pretty. And he was so happy that he fell for the same person twice (and the second time was the one that counted, even for him). 😊

I never skipped the opening soundtrack, not even once! 😆
