Can someone explain to me the Boya story? Why is she having him deliver stuff to Boya? Is her cousin really there?
Her cousin eloped with Bi Zhi (a servant) and FL told them to go to Boya to conquer it for the Qiao family after seeing Bi Zhi’s unnatural strength. However, the faction that killed the Wei people was in Boya, recruiting for their army and Bi Zhi stood up to them, earning the Boya people’s trust but they needed back up. FL’s cousin sent for help from her Qiao family but they refused because they were afraid ML would think they were trying to occupy Boya. So FL said to ML that she missed her cousin and wanted to send some things for her as she felt bad that the cousin no longer lived in luxury since eloping. While that was partly true, FL was also using ML to send people to escort the goods to make it look like there was a Wei occupation in Boya and make the other faction back off.
Why did I start this when I know it’s still airing?! The temptation was too high and now I’m already at episode 9 ;-;
I love watching her play him like a fiddle! When the brain and the brawn finally start working together, they’ll truly be an unstoppable power couple - can’t wait to see it!
I am late but I love it! I remember watching the first few episodes when it was airing but found it too slow then. It is one of those shows you just have to buckle in and stick with and it grows on you and before you know it, you’re fully invested. Really enjoyed Uncle Gu outmaneuvering Ming Lan for once! Just getting to their married life and I am so looking forward to it.
Watched up to episode 28 and then lost all patience. Maybe one day I’ll finish it but not feeling it anymore. The visuals of both actors are great though.
What kind of crack is in Tan Jian Ci’s voice?! I am kicking my feet at every sweet statement of his. I’ve been binging dramas on x2 speed but this one I am taking at x1 because of that man’s dulcet tones.
Took me a while to get into this drama. Watched about 12 episodes a few months ago and stopped. Picked it back up when I was on a Zhang Ling He binge. It was good but dragged a lot, especially when they started explaining the plot from the previous lifetime around episode 35. Overall, 7.5/10
Wouldn’t be up past 5am determined to finish this drama if it wasn’t as good as everyone says. The characters can be somewhat frustrating but the cute relationship won my devotion to finish it. I do wish we could have seen Li Xue put in more effort to pursue Zhu Yun but I suppose that’s part of his charm…
Can someone tells me what actually happened when Li Xun pushes Zhu yun away for the first time? I mean when he…
Li Xun pushed Zhu Yun away because he had already decided he wanted revenge against Zhang Zhi Jing for his sister’s death (and because he knew Zhu Yun hated Zhang Zhi Jing). He didn’t want Zhu Yun to be limited by his relationship with her and wanted what her parents thought was best which was to go abroad. He told Zhu Yun that he was giving her shares to Xu Lina but really, Li Xun gave Zhu Yun’s shares over to Gao Jian Hong because he was trusting that Jian Hong would take care of L&P while he was in prison. Li Xun asked Xu Lina to pretend they were together to make Zhu Yun think that he had been using her all along to get revenge on her mother. When he was signing over the shares to Jian Hong, he asks Li Xue if Zhu Yun didn’t realize what was happening which she didn’t; she was totally blindsided by Li Xue’s sudden change.
Episode 23 when her lawyer friend mentions a lawyer named He who is apparently amazing but unfortunately married to a lady just returned from abroad - is this a reference to another story or drama?
What I like best about this drama is everyone got their revenge. What I like least is we don’t get to actually see the revenge half the time! Overall, it was very good but I think it did suffer from cutting down the episodes. Some logic and plot did go out the window but at least it’s ultimately a happy ending.
Said I was going to wait after I watched the first six episodes and made the vital mistake of saying “just one more episode”. Suddenly it’s ten episodes later and I’ve reached the end of the available episodes ;-; After 15 years of drama watching, you’d think I’d know better by now!
Compared to The Double, the characters here feel more human. Don’t get me wrong, I ADORE The Double but it always felt like they were the smartest and could never fail. Here I feel the mistakes are a bit more apparent and they are not as clever or as unfailing.

Still love both dramas, the scheming is amazing.
