I really can't feel bad for Ji Xing when she decided to sell shares to a snake. It would've been more sympathetic if she'd sold to an investment company and then it turned out the company was owned by Chang He. Instead, she walked herself into his office when she had many other choices, and decided to take his money when she knew not only the kind of person he was, but also what that would mean for Han Ting and Dongyang. For someone who claims to prize relationships above business, that was a prime asshole move and as it turned out, a stupid one too.

Also, looking for a love that is "I'll die for you" when she just had someone who made promises like that leave her at the first sign of trouble is just too ridiculous. All through their fight, I kept trying to understand the point of all the yelling. I get the anger over Hanhai, but everything else seemed excessive. Han Ting of course should've been honest about Hanhai, and that's a serious issue, but the whole thing about what love means to him and her was pointless to me cos nothing he said was wrong. Finally, that email she sent to the EMPLOYEES before even informing her partners that she was leaving??? Big yikes.

The restaurant scene in episode 18 made me laugh for several reasons. First, just everyone ordering "spaghetti" 😂 then it took them 84 years to bring Ji Xing her lone bowl of spaghetti 😂 I would've walked out too, damn 😭

Zeng Di gets more pathetic with each passing episode cos literally random strangers on the street can tell that Han Ting only has eyes for Ji Xing, but ol' girl keeps embarrassing herself over him. Not girl bossing the way she should at all. I can tell it's only going to get uglier as the drama goes on.

I'm enjoying the drama mostly cos of how adorable Ji Xing is, and how much I want her to succeed.

It was so funny to me how everyone kept talking about stopping Li Chuan from becoming a tyrant when they were responsible for how he turned out. SRQ unfortunately refused to actually learn from the past and allowed fear to control all his actions, leading to the disastrous end in the new life. PWX and Li Rong made an effort to change things and alter the result, especially PWX, and they finally got their happy ending, and they helped Chuan escape his doomed fate.

My only question is, what happened to the child? I was hoping for a glimpse after the time jump but they just acted like they didn't tell us Rong was pregnant lol.

I thoroughly enjoyed this drama and I'm so happy I gave it a chance.

I just started this and I can already see the end of the relationship with Yi Chen but that friend that keeps making eyes at him really annoys me.

Chuan is just there, drinking water, writing letters to his girlfriend and minding his business, but his father is busy plotting to get rid of him. Meanwhile the idiot emperor has been poisoned for years by his consort. He really is the worst sort of leader and father.

Consort Rou going totally nuts when she realized she'd been abandoned by the emperor was so entertaining to watch. I'm glad she got all that off her chest. Plotting to kill Li Rong and Chuan though and using that stupid princess to do it? Unfortunate.

I felt very sad for Rong and Chuan cos they haven't done anything to deserve this treatment from their father. They even went against the families to uphold justice, but their father doesn't care. This second life is turning out to be just as frustrating as the first, and I can see it's all the emperor's fault.

While I don't like Consort Rou at all, I love the way you can see her eyes shining with greed anytime she schemes. You can see the greedy wheels spinning in her head as she plots!

PWX is so petty but way too emotional for all this political angst 😂 I really hope their plans don't fall apart cos of SRQ. He may interfere and ruin everything now that he's seen Consort Rou doing things behind his back. I'm really enjoying the divorce too!

The emperor really is unbearably stupid. All the energy he puts into making his children jump through hoops to prove their loyalty could've been spent guarding against that snake he has in his bed. To be more upset that his daughter may have actually married a man who loves her, rather than the fact that the consort clearly brought a scammer to the palace to try and cause problems in the family...what a fool.

I wonder if PWX and Li Rong will really have to go through with a divorce since the emperor seems set on this path now. I totally understand why Li Rong suggested it as a last resort and if PWX wasn't so emotional, he probably would've suggested it too. I look forward to seeing how they can counter SRQ now that they have realised that he also has his memories from the past and he's scheming against PWX.

Again, PWX didn't let her respond. He said SRQ should talk to them some other time and rushed out. That literally happened.

PWX quite literally rushed her out and didn't even let SRQ address her. lol. was she supposed to yell at him while being dragged away? 🤣

You're talking about tomorrow's episodes and I'm talking about what happened at the banquet. FL stepped in to stop the consort's plan, SRQ joined in cos he wanted to. At what point was Li Rong supposed to criticize him? At the end, everyone spoke about them but she only spoke about her sister, then she and PWX teased each other. After the banquet she went to talk to Chuan then they went home. At which point was she going to say something to SRQ when PWX didn't even let her say hello to SRQ? Why is FL responsible for other people's gossip?

They got married with the plan to divorce after a brief time and go their own way. He asked SRQ to escort her at the wedding as a "gift" to her. They are just now communicating their feelings for each other and FL is still sorting through 20 years of experiences and emotions.

You say you're neutral but you blame Li Rong for everything other people do including SRQ. I'm working with information that's shown now, not previews and not the book because I haven't read it and I'm not interested in it. I'm not biased, I'm just not saying what you want to hear lol.

Honestly, the king is just a terrible father. He keeps pitting them against each other then he'll act shocked when it inevitably leads to the siblings trying to kill each other.

What did Li Rong do wrong though? She didn't compliment SRQ. She didn't invite him to play. She can't be openly saying or signaling their intentions in the middle of court and PWX isn't stupid, he knows why she chose to perform. Also, she was using a memory from her past with SRQ to perform which would explain her looking at him, especially when he joined in. Why is SRQ coveting her now her fault? Lol.

As I said, that's his perspective. Until they show anything different, that's what I have to work with.

I think it's so interesting seeing things from SRQ's POV cos while Li Rong is thinking of how to get power to protect people and keep Chuan on the right track, SRQ is simply trying to stop a tyrant from gaining the throne. He suffered the consequences of Chuan's tyranny in a way that Li Rong and PWX will never understand so to him, this is a case of stopping baby Hitler and he's the hero of his own story.

I laughed at how the baby royals plan to show off turned into a concert for Li Rong and her men 😂 would've been even funnier if the prince had fallen on his ass cos why does he think he's better than Chuan who's been to and won an actual battle? Definitely a "kids say the darndest things" scenario. Once again, I wonder why these emperors bother having children when they hate their own children and live in constant fear of being replaced. The emperor treating Chuan like garbage because the boy is growing up to do the thing he was raised to do really irks me.

At this point Li Rong must know that SRQ has the same memories, right? The performance felt like the chess match between Li Rong and PWX that led to their own revelation about having past life memories. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's episodes!

Oh Lord! I forgot she was introduced as a bodyguard.

That would be so tragic but I'm starting to think that's what happened too.

That's why I said he's misguided. We also got from his inner monologue that he wants to protect his family AND Li Rong which in his mind is removing Li Rong from all things politics and power related. I doubt he'd be sitting there lying to himself about his own intentions, that's why I hope we get more from his POV so I can understand him better. He will eventually have to choose between his family and Li Rong since he isn't open to changing the status quo.

Also not saying him possibly killing LR is why people hate him, just that I can see why he may have done it back then.

Episode 22 is now making me wonder who actually killed Li Rong in their past life. SRQ does not seem like he hated her or plotted to kill her cos he's genuinely trying to protect her even if his actions are misguided cos he doesn't understand her or her intentions. I also wonder when he died in the previous life, cos he should've lived for some time after Li Rong and PWX died but it feels like they all died together. Unless I missed something from the beginning.

Unlike most people, I don't hate SRQ and even if he did kill Li Rong the first time, his entire family was wiped out and instead of dying with them, he was castrated and forced to live with someone he may have seen as partially responsible for their deaths. He may even have hated himself for loving Li Rong at all. I just don't know his true motivations cos we're only seeing now that he also remembers their previous life so maybe we can start getting more insight into his character.

Oh, I really hope Li Rong stops dismissing her suspicion about SRQ remembering the past cos she's been getting that vibe from him for a while now. Maybe PWX will find a way to test SRQ so they can confirm. Maybe all three of them need to have a chat and clear up the misunderstanding from the past cos from what I can see, they could actually just work together to secure the future of the families and the nation. Just like Shangguan Ya, SRQ could be the future of the Su family and adapt rather than just trying to force outdated traditions on a changing nation. (I know, I know, it's the love triangle.)

Hua Zheng showing up only to be rejected by Guo Jing, then wash, rinse, repeat every 3 to 5 business days like she has amnesia anytime he leaves her is making me lose my sanity.
