I already feel he is off just based on the fact that the actor playing him doesn’t usually play minor roles…
I meant that I’ve seen him play supporting roles but not a character that appears occasionally and seems to be a filler character. I liked his tole in Who Rules the World tbf
From the conversation with He Zhen, it seems as though LMT realized she has been used by Ziyu, Mount Yang, and…
first of all, I love this comment. this analysis is great. For me what hurts is that now that she knows the truth, she asks him questions and he continues to lie, adding a story on top of another. Of course she has committed crimes, but I truly believe he should have come clean once the fake Lu Wen was discovered and pardoned. Idk, it just rubs me the wrong way. No wonder she is distant.
What I love though is that they both have flaws and aren't perfect. He will have to reckon with whether and how to protect her because as much as he loves her, he has responsibilities to the country. But also, I suspect she wouldn't want him to have that burden, which is why she didn't want him to tell her the truth, but as you and she said, for now it seems like he loves the "canary he raised" not the real her with all of her flaws. Will he protect her family and her friends too? What a dilemma.
correct me if I'm wrong but was there a plot hole in episode 21? LMT told CXZ on the mountain that she was in "Mount Wang's hands" before. If she is supposed to keep the illusion that her memory is still gone, all she knows from what she told him is that she fell ill which caused the amnesia, otherwise they have supposedly been together for three years. So either this has been overlooked by the writer or if I interpret it generously, he feels like he is losing her because deep down he thinks she has remembered everything (as LMT), hence he didn't press the point. also, the end of the episode seems to suggest that he's figured out that she is not Lu Wen's concubine but Lu Wen herself.
Also, my heart broke watching him soothe her tummy for cramps and at the same time, lying! Idk but the act moved me, little things like that are far more profound to me than sexual intimacy, but the lying dampened it for me. She also saw that he was genuine but can no longer go back to how they were. I can't bear this tension anymore something needs to give tomorrow!
On another note, I love how Zhao Quan handled that situation. I saw the demeanour of a lord from him for the first time. He's a true gentleman
But honestly I don't get why people don't like Li Rong. What exactly has she done that is unlikeable? Is it because…
he's building up to be the prime minister again. that doesn't happen in a day. there's a reason the emperor chose him to marry Li Long, precisely because he was an eighth ranked official from a humble family
I can't believe I started This drama believing that the male lead is a simp and the female lead is a total bullyBut…
you might be the only one who wishes for that lol. everyone else in this comments is thinking that is the scenario when it is not. yes, it is about two prideful people. they are not equal but the FL gives him some face. it is more about power vs relationships
I think both lead characters were tweaked a bit in the drama compared to the novel. While LR is less flirty and…
autumn translator didn't change it. the author did, which the translator (autumn) explains at the end of the chapter. this is why the drama played out the way it did, with the changes that were made

the link I've sent you is fan translated. this has skipped many things because PWX definitely didn't get back in the carriage until she ran after him, yelling his name. the original chapter underwent changes, which is explained here. https://autumnpondreflection.wordpress.com/2022/01/20/tgp-chapter-45-response/
She's more aggressive and raps him on the head with her fan all the time. I don't remember her apologising when he was thrown in the water earlier. iirc she laughed. She is more straightforward about having and coveting power to protect her people and was open about it to PWX, which he knew and accepted. He was fine with it knowing that he would accumulate enough power in the future to assist and protect her anyway. The idea to establish an Inspectorate Office didn't come from the Crown Prince, she discussed it with PWX. I think it was just to make the CP smarter in the drama and also someone willing to protect his sister and QZZ from political strife. She slapped PWX in a scene we're yet to see because she was worried about him, lol. If the drama kept her as she is in the novel, we would see more Wanning comparisons. I think people forget that these are feudal times. Not only is she a princess but she is his lord and master. He answers to her like an official. She is also the head of the house and doesn't need to cater to her in-laws. This is why she said she didn't want to wait for him, because why should she? It will be easier to view her like a man in those times who were allowed to keep concubines called 'guests' who answer to her (which is why SRQ was with her for 20 years). and btw, according to the book there were other 'guests'. In no way are she and PWX equal. In fact I think the actress playing her is doing the role A LOT of favours. she's not even arrogant enough for me lmaooo she's too tame
