Now I'm intrigued, they need to show this in her flashbacks, lol.

PTSD can also have DID like symptoms, it's what they're going for here. She doesn't have split personality.

I hope that medicine doesn't include cdramas staple such as pearls, rhinos horns or tigers balls, lol.

My main gripe here is characters suddenly acting out of character and ML forgetting their experiences together and his own promises. I saw this edict thing going to be a problem from a mile away, but they blew it out of proportions.

Def should have been a better way to create conflict. Don't even need to go far for an example, FL's previous drama had a well designed spat - both characters acting in character, both having their own reasonable truth, can sympathize with both to a varying degree.

Science has yet to prove it's not a placebo, but there's always anecdotal evidence that it works...
At least in cdramas they're not relying solely on acupuncture, but also using medicine.

If she had "moral injury", she'd be having it even before returning to the mountain, when her mother died. But judging from all the snippets we saw and previews, she was fine until that tragedy happend years later. Nobody was doing horrific things to those people, they all died of illness, with her being the sole survivor. It was the root of all her mental issues. Don't pile every single syndrome on her. She has guilt and moral obligation over what happened with the edict, but it's not an illness. Maybe you're mistaking it with survivor's guilt syndrome.
Her PTSD has symptoms such as selective amnesia and DID defensive mechanisms such as hallucinating an imaginary interlocutor and associating herself as another person when she's really stressed out.

Nope.

By this logic FL should have died on the mountain from vomiting buckets of blood 🤣
This is so fkn dumb, it's on par with our Western theory of 4 humors.

Korean historical dramas mainly have acupuncture and diagnosing illnesses by pulse. Blood vomiting is cdramas addon.

I don't think it's her type of PTSD. Her trauma comes from seeing all of her friends and relatives die on the mountain from illness, with her having to bury them all and surviving alone for years steaming in grief.

And a waste of screen time in general.

They cough blood there from basically anything, it really is dumb in this day and age. But gotta close your eyes on this, just like on acupuncture.

HE. But this drama doesn't follow the novel, so anything goes.

The current emperor is Mo Jingli's uncle by relation.

It's such a turn down at this day and age.

Mo Jingli is the crown prince's son, late emperor's grandson. ML and his executed brother are the sons of the emperor's brother. They are Mo Jingli's second cousins.

Expect an army swarm sniping you down by saying FL badly hurt ML's feelings with this, so he's justified.

Sorry about that. But btw, it's perhaps still unclear about the princess.

You think? Which episode you at? I'll put it under spoilers.

He's alive at least, unlike the princess.
