Thank you. I was looking for this everywhere. Could not find it ^_<

Yes, a big one. But I am sure that he believes he still can manipulate FL into forgiving his betrayal.
I am curious to see how he will proceed * shaking my head*

Until now he look s like a grey character. That's true. The big antagonist seems to be his mother.

I understood that Gov. Wen is just a middle man.
I think that SML might be afraid of that "Madam". whose peony jade pendant Gov. Wen wore. Killing him would have unknown consequences involving that powerful "Madam" and his mother could retaliate against him again ( kneeling in the shrire for days)

Evidently, the rebellion his the deep dark secret they hide. I want to see how he will try to conceal his army and still play the benevolent marquis on the surface.

Yes. Gov. Wen called ML a sycophant.
But let's just be honest SML is the real sycophant.
He was the one trying to please everybody on the surface but acting shady in reality.
His house of cards is about to fall. He does not know it yet.
Once FL & ML will get in sync with the investigation.
He will be trapped like a rat.

I remember, you are right. Let's see.

Me too. I love everything about this show. I gave it a 10 .

SML is coerced by his mother and his duty. He made big mistake because this rape will be the cause of his downfall in FL's eyes.
It is just the beginning.
Not important? Poor Fool ML is tailing you *smirk*

It's over for SML (︶︹︺)

EP 16 : What kind of justice is that?
When you rape the witness of your case and you get to marry that girl you raped as a punishment ? WTH
No wonder FL is falling out of love with SML . He is showing his true colours : collusion with his clansmen.

@bubble-gum You are right, in my opinion, he is not a heir to the throne nor is he the son of his late father.
He might be of a royal descent from another state. let's see.

@Justtwoofus We don't know yet. I suspect that he is not.

PeachBlossomGoddess Thank you.
Yes, I understood that they were lovers and that she wanted to be the Empress. The young emperor seemed head over heels for her in the flashbacks.
I just don't think that by the end of the story, SML could rightfully take the throne.
His mother is so cunning, that I suspect that he might not be a legitimate heir to the throne. She might have lied.

@Soryuu Aya Brea
I second that. The investigation is very interesting and it serves the romance. Making the chemistry and se*ual tension more and more unbearable between the characters.
I am enjoying it so far. I hope is keeps on developing like this.
The SML's mother has a lot of secret to reveal.

I think that she pretends he is. Yes, the rebellion is the purpose of the army.
She Is so cunning. It would be a big twist if he was the illegitimate son of Wei State ruler.
Because she wanted power from the very beginning. And she knew that the Emperor's father did not want her to become a consort.
That would be logical.

EP 16 : " He will find out the Nanling's secret " This might be the SML mother's private army.

I don't think that ML felt guilty.
The reason is that he was tricked by the suicidal SML.
I think that you are righ FL felt guilty and she has been blaming ML, who, in my opinion, is SML's victim.
SML wanted to tarnish ML's reputation and it worked, unfortunatly.

Exactly ! yes she was "two timing them" and I did not notice. I thought she loved ML.
I feel bad for ML. It sees that he has been awaiting for her 15 years!!! hmmmm

Yes, I must agree with you on this point.
The ending was not satisfying to me.
