time stamp pls

I think there was a dialogue where he already figured out her father was most likely framed hence he can accept it

he reminds me of Deng Lun in certain angles

well, I personally wouldn’t get back with him after the public humiliation but u understand his motivation for doing so. but also it’s like she’s so uptight about keeping decorum and etiquettes that having him call her that makes them seem closer. but yeah. each to their own. i rest my case lol

yeah totally get where you’re coming from. In regards to his actions; I agree that he did it in such an asshole way - but he was trying to protect her (doing the right thing in the wrong way) but I guess knowing her stubborn and upright nature she would’ve gotten herself implicated. In regards to how he addresses her, I actually find it endearing. Each to their own though.

yeah but in this context with who he is and his pride (and societal norms of husband above wife back then) this is seen as a sign of respect and him “bowing” to her.

no very at all. he loves her but he’s a coward who’s lazy with zero ambition or willingness to give her a good life.

then it went bad - the colour changed back

I watched go back lover and he and the FL there do their kissing scenes a lot better and more convincing than in this drama. maybe MZY is a bit shy since it’s her first time proper kissing lol

they clearly wronged DZ’s mum and had an affair whilst he was staying at the friend’s hometown. so 2 families tries to not create a scandal by letting the 2 wed. And dtepmum’s dad did get his post back by that time but he wasn’t highly favoured and tbh it didn’t matter how high he was, he didn’t need to have the issue of a pregnant unmarried daughter.

I think it makes it more realistic. sometimes your hands are tied no matter what you know and how powerful you may seem.

yes the waiting is excruciatingly hard!!!
I do love how the characters here also seem more
relatable and real, despite being smart she doesn’t always win or overcome hardship just because she’s FL. sometimes I found the double a little unconvincing.

so many people saying this is like the double but it’s actually so different. in the double the FL assumes a new identity for revenge. this one is more of a “rebirth” - a chance for a do-over that is not heavily driven by revenge but more about preventing known tragedies and living a better life.
Also, I also like that it’s not about revenge and punishing everyone who wronged them in past life cos some of the crimes hasn’t happened. how can you punish someone for a crime they don’t know about and haven’t commited?!

I guess as heir he still need his presence around the residence for “face” so things still not proper to the outside world despite the internal conflict.

yeah. I mean he was already at the scene. but who knows— it could be anyone at this stage

I thought so too. cos it was definitely the same robe the higher ranking eunuchs wear too

I can’t believe how young he is due to the characters he portrayed! (Reminds me of Chen Xingxu when he did GOodbye my Princess). Such good acting, maturity and screen presence for his age.

Hahaha thanks!!! Based on your info I was able to look him up and realised I saw him in Legally Romance.

This is random but does anyone know the actor that acted Xiao Hu who died after fighting with that one-eyed man at the train station in ep 1? He looks so familiar and it's bothering me that I can't remember where I've seen him lol.

i think she explained it pretty clear in the car ride with her brother using the allusion of a beast and its trainer.
