It's not the worse red-flag ML existing, drama version was toned down.

We barely survive with two episode by day, how will we survive with one ?

I don't understand the backlash with Seven Tan. She's really pretty.

Yes. The limit of 40 episodes was removed by the publishers.

The ML is obsessed with the FL and make bad decision. The ML is not perfect. If you can't accept a faulty character that can grow, maybe this drama is not for you.

Until they are married, the drama make a point to keep the romance subtle.

And LX oblivious.

Young vs elder is really a theme from this drama.

No. Every scene was needed.

For the first question, Ms Du and his brother received money to betray the Lin household.

Novel is very different, drama is better

No.

I think it's deliberate in order to make the FL fall in love only after the marriage and be angry before.

More love moment would have smoothed their relationship too much.

He could have proposed to take her as his concubine and to never marry. But I don't think LX would agree.

In any case, he could have been more open about his feeling to hers.

Shen family was punished alone. Because someone talked to the emperor about the proposal of Lin and Shen old master. Lin backed out, Shen refused.

He wasn't prepared for a full rebellion. He is a coward.

Only thing he could have done is going in hiding and wait prince Han rebellion.

He don't need Imperial permission for the marriage but to force the elder to accept it.

Yes, it's the route in the novel. But our Jinqi is a romantic.

It's not unrealistic that the emperor give Lin Jinqi's request.
Was is it unrealistic is that Lin Jinqi ask the request.
Basically, a more realistic Lin Jinqi would have taken Lanxiang as a concubine.

Yes, Jinqi didn't take no for an answer.

I think the original material is awful for that. But she wasn't completely disarmed. She stalled the situation for a whole day.

And you should add spoiler.
