Vico SDL

I watched it raw on YouTube

Currently watching this
Bad subs of course - but the whole thing is much better than I expected !

Just one thing : WHY DID THEY HAVE TO KILL A'MAN !!!! 😭😭😭
That was just so unnecessary !

He lives but learnt of his sister’s actions

I wonder why they even call it an adaptation since they changed everything

My bad, i tend to forget this 😓

He probably doesn’t know about the Princess killing his birth mom
I’d be curious to see his réaction then

Lol, the fact that the Grand Princess to complain "when Mingyue was alive, they wouldn't give her anything she wanted" when the Emperor decided to grant a higher title... Hmm, sorry but I think that the problem is precisely that the emperor and everyone always gave Mingyue what she wanted in the past, that's why she turned into such a monster. She seemed to forget that the Emperor eventually agreed to marry her to Yujin, even though the latter was willing to starve himself to not marry Mingyue
Also, she even blames him for having decreed Mingyue's marriage to Zhu Ziyu... Hmm, sorry again but if I recall clearly, she was there, and clearly took part in forcing Mingyue to get married to save her position... In the end, the only one who truly tried to save her monster of a daughter from this marriage was the father that she and her daughter blamed for not having cared enough for their daughter
It's really sad because truthfully, Grand Princess and Mingyue both had everything to be happy : they had a loving family, a whole lot of servants devoted to her (her wet nurse may be hateful but she does love the princess and Shi Jiu the bodyguard was quite emotional when Mingyue died, he even tried to spare the princess the sight of her daughter's burnt corpse), endless wealth and glory...
But their jealousy, excessive power and insatiable greed : they possessed so much their entire lives that they took it for granted, considered it normal for them to have anything they wanted and could not stand it when one thing would be refused to them, going on a killing spree to then pause themselves as victims, only thinking and complaining about the one thing they couldn't get, not taking in account everything they already had
Not only they ruined everyone around them but they also ruined what could have been their own happiness just because they could not stand having one thing refused to them and they had the nerve to blame others for that
Edit : also, i don’t think Mingyue and her mother truly loved Yu Jin/General Cui. To me, loving is being unable to stand to cause any pain to the one we love, and obviously both of them had no problem making the one they « loved » suffer just to get them : grand princess had forced the général Cui 20 years ago, and let’s not forget that Mingyue was happily dressing up for her wedding, not caring that Yujin was almost dying to resist marrying her ; and just like Cui Xu pointed out, Grand Princess never trusted him, which also proved to me that she never really knew him : general Cui was obviously someone honest and trustworthy, which means that if he said he didn’t have an affair with Jiang Si’s mom, then he was definitely not lying. But either Grand Princess didn’t know her husband enough to realize that, either she simply didn’t actually care about the truth because what truly bothered her was that Su Ke still had his heart no matter what. Anyway, how can one claim to love someone when you don’t really know or trust him ?

Yes, but in Jiu Liu Overlord, his character was not in love with Bai Lu's, that's why I didn't mention it

Lucky's First Love (however, in here, it's more of a crush and short-lived interest rather than real affection like it is in Northward)

Lol, this is the second time Zhai Zi Lu plays a character having an unrequîted love for Bai Lu’s and it’s kinda making me feel bad because I’ve always kinda wishes to see them paired up together 😅
Let’s hope he’ll succeed on his 3rd try, just like Wang Xing Yue 😂

Episode 19…. Wow, that was heavy… I did not expect this 😢😢😢😭😭😭😭

You should try City of Streamer if you haven’t already, i think this was her best performance (and the drama itself is great, clearly underrated)

Are Zhao Jia Min and Li Fei paired up here ?

preview for the upcoming episodes seems to imply so ! (and that it was the Grand Princess’ doing !)

‘Cause he was predicted to be « jinxed » when he was born so she sees him not only as a jinx but also as a burden for her ambitions
Yep, didn’t take her much to give up on her kid

I just like them both, why should one limit herself 🥰🥰🥰

Rather than « Yan », it’s the fact that he was given a title
Until now, he was socially inferior to his brothers but now he’s on equal grounds with them.
Moreover, just like his brother said, he was supposed to be punished and actually got rewarded : this is proof that he is not to be taken lightly in their father’s heart

So Golf is supposed to be the older, ugly husband ? 😂😂😂 not believable !

Well, for example, he likes to show off his general title (« i’m a dog with prestige ! »😂)
On Ji Chongyi’s wedding day, he humiliated him by making fall from his horse and stealing his wedding hat
And mostly, he likes to compete with Yu Qi for Jiang Si’s attention ! 😆😆😆
I recommend you the manhua, it’s awesome (I’m disappointed because they changed quite a few things in the drama)
