I am reading the novel but I’m slow and TOO curious to wait to find out for myself - why does CX kill TSJ? The parts in the trailer where CX confesses his feelings for XY and then when XY says she has to kill him because he killed TSJ - so powerful! The reason I don’t want to wait 12 months to see them again ):
I loved this so much. I thought TTEOTM was going to be my favourite drama for this year but I think this might just surpass it. I’ll hold off full judgement until season two finishing airing.
Jing and Xiaoyao giving me cavities over here with their sweet love. Meanwhile, the other love interests: fighting to the death (XL), plotting (CX), frantically googling “how to make crush like me back” (FL)
Why is Jing not sending any more wine to Xiaoyao after saying he sends it to show he’s thinking of her? Does he not want to think of her anymore? Seems odd.
Zhang Wan Yi’s minor expressions are marvelous. He portrays the duality of Cang Xuan so well - “unfailing good brother” VS “secretly becoming obsessed with XY”. I already know I’m on the wrong ship yet I can’t help but proudly sink with it 🫠
Loved CX's conversation on having 'learned to swim' after that woman pushed him into the river. Xin Yue walked…
I get the vibe that CX is doing it because (a) he needs their family’s support when he vies for the throne, (b) he knows she likes him and is encouraging her affections to make reason (a) stronger and (c) he’s trying to see whether XY would have any reaction to it - it’s almost like he glances toward XY and TSJ, feels jealous and then wants to see if XY will react to him falling in the water / going with whatever her name is. I say that because in the trailer he says something about how he wishes XY wouldn’t congratulate him every time he gets married - making me think that part of his advances toward other women has something to do with inspiring the same feelings of jealousy and romantic love he has when XY is approached by one of her other admirers.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but part 2 needs to wait at least 3 months after part 1 to air per new Chinese regulations.…
I heard about it after posting this comment :’( Thanks for telling me though. I don’t know why the Chinese authorities changed the rules. This is going to be torture.
I KNEW I should have waited to start this but couldn’t resist the temptation and now I’ll be suffering for the next few months. I really hope the second season has no delay in airing. Honestly TSJ is SO sweet but XL’s villainy white tresses are too alluring and yet I’m strangely also captivated by CX’s devious devotion. I haven’t seen a drama like this in a while where I couldn’t figure out who to root for from the start - but I’m loving it!
Binged all available episodes on Netflix and came on here to find out it’s completed! YESSSS. Binge shall continue. I honestly love it so much so far. Also, I really like that Sang Zhi and her mom have such a great relationship as compared to their last drama together :)
A-ri’s mother said it when Min Hye visited her in jail to ask her about A-Ri being alive. Something along the lines of “how dare you visit me, you’re the reason I’m here - I know it was you who reported me for tax evasion”
Ooh also the ending? Are they hinting at a season 2 from a male influencer’s perspective? Could be interesting plus the guy is way too good looking to be just a cleaner.
Solid 8.5 for me! I love watching the downfall! I did guess the ending but not all of it so still very satisfying. I am usually a hardcore romance person but I enjoyed this as much as I did The Glory. One complaint: IU’s Celebrity isn’t used in the drama. Netflix missed a bop!

^ heard Tencent members are getting episodes 21 and 22 on August 3 and 4 respectively. True or false?
Also I keep reading the spoiler tags, someone stop me :’(
