Apart from the secret FB group that people have mentioned below, I think only Viki is subbing the drama and then other sites (like KissAsian, Dramacool, etc.) are ripping subs from them. I hope people understand though that Viki is not behind or slow. They're releasing episodes according to the official schedule. The only reason there are "advance" episodes is because those people with VIP access (i.e., those who pay for the streaming service in China) are ripping them and making them available online. Technically, nobody but the VIP members should be able to see the extra episodes and even non-paying members in China are watching according to the Viki schedule.

She and Mo Fei share the same father.

The Family of Zhu is helping BQ because she belongs to that family.

Basically, many years ago, BQ's grandfather got into trouble with some business dealings. A Mysterious Man came along and offered to help. In exchange for his assistance, he asked that the family give him any daughter born to them (to marry). At the time, BQ's grandmother was pregnant and about to give birth. Her great-grandfather asked the Mysterious Man what would happen if a boy was borne to them. He said then he'd wait for their next child, and if no girl was ever borne to them, the debt would not need to be repaid. As a result, the great-grandfather agreed, the grandfather was exonerated, and then shortly thereafter the grandmother gave birth (to BQ's mother). When the grandmother found out about the agreement, she insisted that their child not be allowed to marry the Mysterious Man - but she died before being able to explain fully the reasons for her objection. The grandfather assumed it was because the Mysterious Man was older than him already and so the grandmother didn't want their daughter having to marry a really old man by the time she turned 17.

To avoid the Mysterious Man discovering that the Zhu family had given birth to a girl, it was announced that the child died at birth and BQ's mother was sent to live with their family friends, the Xue family (that's why BQ's mother has a different last name, Xue Fei). But of course it was all for naught - the Mysterious Man knew about her existence anyway and came to collect on their promise when she was about to turn 17. That's why the Ninth Uncle (Jiu Shu) took his sister away with him - and during this time, Xue Fei came into contact with the Mo Family (and got pregnant) as well as the Seventh Prince.

To avoid the Seventh Prince finding BQ, the Ninth Uncle told his family to not look for him and lived as a beggar with BQ. But when he knew he was sick and dying, he started making preparations to send her back to his family, the Zhu Family.

As for the doctor's real identity, the Mysterious Man is his maternal grandfather. Since his grandfather was not able to collect upon that old promise between their families, he hopes to do so now by marrying BQ. Hence, the reason he refers to himself as BQ's fiance.

Hope that explanation helps!

Viki is not behind. In China, those who subscribe to the web streaming service are VIP members and get advance episodes (they’re four episodes ahead) - it’s a benefit/perk for paid services. But those who have this advance access are also ripping the videos and sharing them online (they’re not officially released episodes). Viki has the official license to sub the drama for international users. It follows the same schedule as non-paying viewers in China. So, not everyone in China is at 31 episodes - only the paid members.

To add to my posts (above), I just remembered the entirety of BQ's conversation with Zhu Fu and I think I figured out your confusion. Zhu Fu told her that Uncle Jiu had written a letter to his family explaining he was taking her to hide and that he didn't want the Seventh Prince to find her. BQ wondered why she was supposed to avoid the Seventh Prince if he was her father, and Zhu Fu replied that he didn't know the reason either only that Uncle Jiu was determined the Seventh Prince never find her. Maybe that's why you were under the impression Zhu Fu had had told her she wasn't the Seventh Prince's daughter? But hopefully this help clarifies things for you! :)

Well, she already knew from when MRF's mother forced the poison down her throat that she was the product of MRF's dad raping her mom. She commented then that CY wasn't her half-sibling, but MRF was, and MRF's mom responded angrily that she'd never let her be any sibling to her son. BQ also asked her why she placed all the blame on her mother instead of on MRF's dad, but the mom is not exactly a rational person. But yes, it's not until Episode 20 that she will finally learn that her mother and Uncle Jiu were siblings, and that the reason her mother has a different last name (Xue) is because she was placed with their family friend shortly after birth to live, in the hopes of the Mysterious Man never finding out about her existence -- which all turned out for naught anyway.

In Episode 14, the Zhu family servant (Zhu Fu) only confirmed that her Uncle Jiu was the Zhu family's heir and that they'd been hoping one day he and she would return to them (which is why they'd kept the Fake Death pill on hand and at the ready). Zhu Fu doesn't actually tell her what her relationship to Uncle Jiu is though. In fact, once they bring her back to the Zhu family, Zhu Fu (and the two other family servants that they traveled with) still won't tell her the exact nature of her connection between herself, Uncle Jiu, and her mother. Instead, they'll let her grandfather explain all that to her (in Episode 20).

Bu Qi only finds out she's not the 7th Prince's daughter when MRF's mother poisons her.

He's the second male lead.

Loved it. Especially after watching Here 2 Heart, which has the same actors playing the OTP. It was because of that drama that i went back and watched their older drama, The Four, which had never tempted me previously. Glad I gave it a chance though.

The original drama summary was written based on the book (from which the drama is adapted), but after the drama aired and it was realized there was no time traveling element, the drama summary was revised to more accurately reflect the drama. Time traveling element was likely removed due to China's regulations.

I echo the Princess Weiyoung recommendation and would like to add The Four. Perfect Couple is also good in the beginning (has a similar sort of humor to this drama in the beginning), but kind of falls apart midway through.

If you scroll down, someone provided a link to Dramacool, so you might check that out.

Yes :)

Oh, I don’t need subs. I’ve completed the drama already, but thanks! Good to know for those who do. ;)

I haven't finished watching the drama, but I've been skipping around and peeking ahead.

It has a happy ending (they reunite in France).

The OTP are in love with each other throughout; that never changes, but they break-up/get together about a bajillion times before settling into a state of not-togetherdness before reuniting in the end. The times they are not apart, they are still in love with each other, but what happens is one person leaves the other, believing that decision to be in the best interest of the other.

The second male lead is in love with the FL. Initially, she just thinks of him as a friend (and she's grateful for the times that he helps her). But she does eventually realize that he is just manipulating her and, above all, using her to hurt the male lead, so when he's being deliberately hateful, she does not like him and is frustrated by him. Yet, she can't completely shake free of the past they had as friends either.

The male lead does get Alzheimer's. As far as I know there is no real resolution to that in the last episode (I don't think there can be; it's not exactly a curable disease). But when his mother asks him in the last episode what he plans on doing with respect to FL, he tells her he's aware that they've all been lying for his sake and that he know the FL knows about his illness. He then says he's decided to be selfish for once anyway (meaning that he's going to be with her in spite of his illness) and that he hopes to at least be able to leave her with some happiness. His mother responds by promising to watch over the FL for him as well.

Happy ending

Oh good! Because YT has been yanking down videos - boo. I'm really enjoying the drama so far, especially the young actors. I'm almost sad the drama has transitioned back to the adult actors playing themselves in university. Their younger counterparts were doing such a good job! ;)

No, a few parts of the story take place in Paris, as both characters have connections to that place, but the bulk of the drama takes place in Shanghai.

Si Tu Feng's career didn't plummet and they didn't have a kid. Both those things that we "saw" were from Chen Qing Qing's manga that she was writing by the end of the drama. Even Si Tu Feng, in the very end scene, is wondering why she's writing about both those things in her book. As Chen Qing Qing runs away, she reassures him that his career will rebound at some point, i.e., that she'll fix his career in her story.
