Translated EXCERPTS from Love Like the Galaxy Novel

In the novel, the 5th princess framed CSS for murder. But the 5th prince helps her to testify as her alibi, cause they were together at the time when the murder happened. So 5th princess wandering why they were together and accused them of being indecent. This is what I get from google translate of the novel. If you want to read it, it's in chapter 97-99.

Thank you 

I don't like Ep 31-32 why do they need to drag Emperor & Queens to solve their disputes within family? I think LBY wise enough to tell her to stay away from Palace's politics, who knew she involved herself in Tiger token, that just how careless she was. Every problem she created, LBY was there to solve them, her thank yous and sorrys were't good enough.  As her involvement in advising Crown Prince because she didn't know the consequences. Being in love and all, LBY does not educate her to be a better woman by indulging her every wimps. I love the fallen bridge scene because she used her brain to get her way.....and I think she should do more thinking than act thoughtlessly. 

Is there any of those scene mention in the novel??

I have seen alot of clips of buyi kneeling in the rain from youtube :'(( Is this part belongs to before or after of the "5 years separation"? :'))

I was annoyed at SS too. However keep in mind 1) she’s 15 yrs old  and have very little experience in judging people, much  less understanding the power struggle in politics.  2) If Ling Buyi wanted her stay safe and out of the power struggle, then he should’ve explained  thoroughly what is going on instead of telling her not to get close to this person or that without a full explanation. She has very few friends in the Palace.  Those that are nice to her she gives loyalty too. But this is a coming of age drama.  There will be many stupid mistakes from both leads but it’s also about them learning about themselves and each other.

I'm reading the novel (never been so thankful for forcing myself to learn how to read mandarin after college) and although the production team/director's doing a brilliant job, for the most part, at respecting the source material and bringing justice to its world/characters, they do falter a bit when it comes to the FL (female lead) and several other female characters (mainly the minor antagonists).

The FL in the novel is not only brilliant and nuanced (author's very talented at crafting badass, 3 dimensional heroines), but her spirit's also an educated time traveler who was from modern times. This makes it completely believable that she's so knowledgeable in many different fields, yet lacks the ability to read archaic texts that's a staple amongst the nobility (she can read the majority of vernacular text).

In addition, since the novel FL never received parental love either before or after she transmigrated, she possesses a cynical attitude towards the world and tends to place herself in the role of an observer, rolling her eyes and poking fun at the shenanigans happening around her. Even with this jaded attitude, she still values sincerity and shows warmth to those who are genuinely kind to her.

This is a heroine who possesses high intelligence (has a flair for strategy and mechanics), practicality, wit, and dry humor all rolled up in one. She's the kind of relatable, mature, calm and collected heroine I dream about reading in a romance!
Her ultimate goal is to become independent and carefree, so many of her actions reflect that objective. All of her decisions are carefully weighed/considered in order to avoid being trapped in a life where she's unable to express her true self.

Due to censorship, the time travel aspect of our FL's character was stripped away and the director/script writers had to think of ways to best preserve the novel FL's attributes in a way that makes sense within the drama. Luckily, they retained most of her intelligence/street smarts, caution, and cynical attitude even when it stretches drama world logic from time to time, especially when it comes to her extensive vocabulary despite being truly uneducated.

The director also gave her some immature attributes since the drama her is no longer an older spirit inhabiting the body of a 15 yr. old. Her cynicism/distrust is due to being neglected by everyone including her parents and yet, because of her young age, she still yearns for motherly affection. She treats people who are kind to her with equal fervor/warmth, but sometimes goes too far when exacting revenge on those who wrong her. Despite all this, the drama FL was still established as someone mature for her age due to being abandoned by her parents and raised by an aunt-in-law who's a viper.

And up until recent episodes, I've been ecstatic at the way the drama creators have been faithfully showcasing the novel FL's nuances and character growth. Everything from her relationships with the people around her to her witnessing the atrocities of war contributed to her character growth. For the majority of part 1, the drama's been very successful at developing her into a believable, flesh and blood character.

One of my favorite scenes was the bridge incident because it allowed the FL to display flaws while staying true to her character. Her mistakes and subsequent stubbornness make her more human and yet, her character's actions were completely believable. Nothing she did was inconsistent with her character setup.

Everything I've seen for the majority of the first 27 episodes has led me to believe that the production crew's intentions are to faithfully adapt the novel's story/characters to the best of their ability. After reading parts of the novel, I approved of most of the changes in part 1 as they were all done in an effort to either streamline or elevate the drama.

The only ones I didn't care for were the increasing amount of bitch drama (esp. the one in the palace involving all the princesses ganging up on the FL, effectively turning her into a damsel who had to be saved by our swoon-worthy ML) in the later part 1 episodes which weakened the FL and made all the other minor female characters into one-note caricatures instead of characters with nuance.

I also didn't like how the drama made the FL seem all flip-floppy after her blowup with the ML since right after she told him she didn't want him in her life, she immediately started reconsidering. No matter how nice he's been, it still doesn't change the fact that he practically forced her into an engagement out of the blue without consulting with her beforehand. She's a character who values free will and clearly hates being forced into doing anything. Due to his heavy-handed actions, she should only be at the "reluctantly accepting the engagement" phase. That montage that suggests she's falling for him kind of felt unnatural and rubbed me the wrong way.

Other than that, the majority of this drama, thus far, had been one full of nuanced characters and decent writing (being mainly faithful to the novel); I had been hoping it would avoid resorting to cheap tactics/tropes that cater to the lowest common denominator. Unfortunately, the latest episodes have been using one of my most hated drama tropes: Dumbing down the FL and other characters in order to elevate the ML.

This has already happened during the palace bitch drama incident. In the novel, Wang Li tried to ignore the FL (she'd been burned before and knew she wasn't a match for her) and it was the FL who first provoked her. The 5th princess wanted to avenge Wang Li, but she never went further than kicking the FL's shoe before the ML intercepted. Even then, the FL's already thinking up a tactic to counter her so she probably never needed his help anyway.

But the drama somewhat weakened her and turned all the other females into plot device bitches who have nothing better to do than be the FL's foil all day, everyday. This was all in their attempt to set our FL up as the damsel in need of saving in order to elevate the ML's hotness. The hotness was achieved, but it came at the expense of all the other female characters. Our FL from the earlier episodes who effectively delegated orders, led around her subordinates, and held her own against the fake bandits wouldn't have needed saving in this particular incident. Sigh...

Now I'm hearing the latest episodes has a fire token incident involving the FL that doesn't happen in the novel. Lol, this doesn't just weaken our FL, it's making her plain stupid (lacking in common sense) and is completely at odds with her established smart character from part 1. Once again, the drama's using the cheap tactic of dumbing down the FL in order to prop up the ML. I don't understand why they painstakingly crafted the FL over the course of half the drama only to sacrifice her character simply as a means to make the ML look good? It's completely mindboggling because they never weakened the ML in order to elevate the FL in part 1 when the focus was completely on her. Our ML's been consistent this entire drama.

They didn't rely on this cheap trope in the first 20+ episodes, so why start now? Why are they okay with besmirching all of their hard work with the FL in almost half the drama? If this continues, these inconsistencies will turn her into more of a plot device than a nuanced character. None of her later brilliant feats will feel as natural if they keep sprinkling more of these "dumbing down the FL in order to emphasize the ML's appeal" moments in between. God, I hope this gets nipped in the bud soon!

It's really hard to know the true characters of a person... The Crown Princess is using SS to pressure LBY to help Crown Prince. She might be successful once bcs of SS gratitude towards her, But she really underestimating SS. She can't be fooled for long neither she could handle SS once she determines to take revenge.
