Both the ML and SML are physcos. Thx to the inconsistency of the writers.The ML from E1-10 is just Cruel and cold…
Well, these are mainly problems related to the changes in the storyline... Drama deviates a lot from the original course of events also characters and their actions as well as approach to each other has been changed. A lot of viewers says that they wouldn't fall for someone who has tried to kill them despite knowing his reasons - in the novel WZ was never ever that cruel to JC like he was in the first 10 episodes of drama as well as he was planning everything very carefully so if any of his people got killed it was just because no one is able to control everything and ofc his opponents also made some progress in their investigations. Also JC didn't interfere with both ML plans that much - she heard the voice of the assassin so PY (who actually wounded her as he was the attacker) saved her life - when she regained consciousness she also overhear the very main reason why he asked Cui to save her at all costs... she was trying to make him let her leave and then she tried to escape. He predicted her moves and create an opportunity just to put a trap to lure out the assassin... She is not as much naive like in the drama - she is pure and upright, very curious (and we know that curiosity killed the cat), she has an excellent qinqgong and Pei Yan is trying to discover which martial arts sect she belongs too... PY despite getting more and more attracted to her fed her a long term acting poison to be sure she will stay and cooperate. ML also fed her a poison to make sure she won't recognise his voice during birthday party... and promised to give her an antidote when she will complete mission. The political situation and level of scheming in the drama is on master level - there are hidden traps within a traps, false friends and false enemies - you can only trust your closest family members - thats the world they are living in.
In terms of romantic relations - both MLs will fall for her - PY as first one - she was very beautiful and so different from other women (who were very eager to serve him) - to repay for saving her life she will offer to be his maid and he will have no intention to let her go. ML will ask her to identify someone else (real bastard who was slaughtering, raping etc. his own people and his crimes were always covered up by general Bo) - she will check up if that person deserves a death before doing so...
It takes months for her to understand ML - he will fall for her hard and never harm her the slightest since he will start having feelings for her...
if you don't want spoilers better not check up OSTs on youtube... I did that and I am regretting...
looks like they screenwriters changed original story even more then I was thinking off they took some events from a book and mixed them with a total fiction :) So they have made JC a princess and Emperor will know about her and invite her to the court... then if to believe spoilers will try to poison her... there will be also a war no idea about order of the events
its is going to be fun in next episodes as she is staying for sleepover 😉
that's sleepover not sleeping together... I am not mistaken shameless cat will be a gentleman and offer her a bed and sleep on the floor... but ofc he won't be allowed to sleep well 🤣
Dr Cui is actually real prince in the novel and PY family was protecting him well... He didn't want to get involved…
You are welcome :) Novel is much more complex than drama so they can't show everything... and its good they don't do that as we have more romantic and funny interactions between leaders. There are some funny conversations in the novel between ML and FL but not so many comparing to the drama... Also the case of Yan sisters who were assassins (and one of them being a FL master) its screenwriters idea. There was no wedding trap... as well JC wasn't forced to get married with PY (what I think will take place in the drama based on promo videos)
My problem is that they decided to give him this controlling behaviour that we see in toxic men in our times.…
they did interact but yes, he couldn't see her face! one of the very first scenes takes place in the country side when she was confined (or rather left to die) by her aunt... and Zisheng was chasing her grandmother brother during his investigation armament case the very scene when she is giving him a hint about someone hiding in the pile of hay ;) then it was again in her family mansion... so he took some interest in her... but the moment when he really saw her was like dotting the i letter :)
Dr Cui is actually real prince in the novel and PY family was protecting him well... He didn't want to get involved…
Yes, he was aware of his identity... but readers will know about it at the end of the novel, when PY will tell him to be very careful when leaving residence as someone is watching him and it might be emperors people who actually find out or are suspicious about his background. From earlier conversation with Lady Pei - we know that they are hiding a prince. So readers can add 1 to 1 and ... we know his real identity... he was also a sect master of a small martial arts sect which disciples were specialising in medicine and war machines/weapons, formations construction. The master of the sect was allowed to have only 1 disciple in the life time and only master of the sect had an access to their all secret knowledge.
He is portraying WZ from the novel very well :) Who usually had stone alike face and only some emotions/feelings…
both ML are so evenly matched in the novel and in the drama... they are worthy opponents I love the war of looks :) but that's what you should expect from seasoned actors!
My problem is that they decided to give him this controlling behaviour that we see in toxic men in our times.…
LLTG stayed true to the novel... He had fallen for her from the first sight when he saw her for a very first time during lantern festival beautiful and care free - and yes, she was very unruly, mischievous and poorly educated as her parents left her with greedy granny and vicious aunt... I was thinking like: omg! girl! what you doing! when I was reading a novel... and she was exactly the same in the drama... Any way... I could see why he has fallen for her on the spot :) ofc he couldn't even imagine what kind of trouble she will make him in the future...
I am quite sure it will break our hearts, everything points in that direction imo. I‘ll post my thoughts in…
But I am afraid that's not the case... in one of the promo videos I believe there is a scene when ML is going to die and PY is holding screaming JC on the fort wall...
Everyone is talking about FL, but no one is talking about how Doctor Cui is becoming increasingly disappointed…
Dr Cui is actually real prince in the novel and PY family was protecting him well... He didn't want to get involved in the court (so not interested in claiming the throne) but he still wanted to see the country being well governed and people living good lives... He knew PY the best so at the end helped JC to run away and was making sure that PY will keep all his promises...
1 question to Novel readers.if PY is already Prime minister in the novel, Then what is he fighting for in the…
So in the novel there are two chancellors and PY is one of them... however emperor is very suspicious and he is wary of any person/clan which could get too much power. So Pei Yan actually has to be very careful to do not get his clan annihilated by the slightest mistake. Ofc that requires to keep proper portion of power as anyone can trample the weak... It is all about the balance between emperor, his sons and their parties and all noble families. The situation in the court is very complicated with a lot of people involved in. Also country has some external enemies... So what he is fighting for in the novel? Survival and wellbeing of his clan + the power... but as an official he wants his country to be prosperous and safe from external enemies. I have no idea if they are going to show a war with neighbour state + general Bo rebellion - which are one of the main events in the novel - where PY actually will shine during country defence showing his commanding abilities as well as the deep care for country and people
I think so, he came back to promote with the other two leads for this drama with the livestreams and their conference…
He will still have one more costume drama with well seasoned cast - hopefully that role will be also worthy his acting skills and he can finish his career flying high :) We can only wish him good luck with his future works as director :)
My problem is that they decided to give him this controlling behaviour that we see in toxic men in our times.…
Yes, we can tell ML has scars on his heart and he had suffered a lot in the past.
PY doesn't give that creepy vibe in the novel... but readers can see complexity of his character, not just one side... He will be watching WZ and JC falling in love and won't make anything to break them as a couple and he will be really heart broken... The moment when JC contradicts the plague and she is literally on the death bed shows what true love means, as PY will be stopped by his adjutant from seeing her - as he is the army leader and without him all may perish (so for him duty > JC)... but WZ will ignore everything and stay with her night by night transferring his inner power to keep her alive... however when the time will come he will sacrifice his life as that was the only option to ensure his clan future and as well as keep JC alive (emperor would extinct everyone related to him and PY)
Ha! lets not forget about LLTG :) LW is very skilled in terms of horse riding and martial arts... He also had great chemistry with ZL and LLTG is still one of my favourite dramas with the only match maker emperor in that whole C-drama land!
A lot of viewers says that they wouldn't fall for someone who has tried to kill them despite knowing his reasons - in the novel WZ was never ever that cruel to JC like he was in the first 10 episodes of drama as well as he was planning everything very carefully so if any of his people got killed it was just because no one is able to control everything and ofc his opponents also made some progress in their investigations.

He predicted her moves and create an opportunity just to put a trap to lure out the assassin... She is not as much naive like in the drama - she is pure and upright, very curious (and we know that curiosity killed the cat), she has an excellent qinqgong and Pei Yan is trying to discover which martial arts sect she belongs too...
PY despite getting more and more attracted to her fed her a long term acting poison to be sure she will stay and cooperate.
ML also fed her a poison to make sure she won't recognise his voice during birthday party... and promised to give her an antidote when she will complete mission.
