In the TV series, the male lead, He Lianxin, has numerous wives, a fact that might have been a reality in ancient…
The ML is playing a neutral at the moment just like Emperor Yongzhen when he was a Prince.
Prince An is an old fox. The way he got rid of Mu Hai Yao is meow! He knows she killed his son's only official heir/ son and has done so many wrong doings and yet he is unable to execute her because he needs her family's support.
With one opportunity, the girl is demoted to be a commoner and Official Mu is unable to do anything at all.
Peter Ho is quite good in this drama but he is not as ruthless and imposing as I would like him to portray his character. I hope to see these characteristics in later episodes.
Overall, BD is entertaining and I love it! The FL doesn't cutie acts which is a blessing!
Have you found the novel this is based on? The only one I found had a different setting and the storyline was…
Xifei's Royal Love in the Palace? The scriptwriter must have changed the setting but the story is loosely based on the same novel.
I think I read the actual novel before so it was based on the mother of Emperor Yongzheng, Emperor Kangxi's concubine, who was a lowly maid, before she served the emperor.
The FL in BD is also a lowly concubine to Prince Xin and her former admirer, Lu Gongzhi, is the adviser to the Prince.
I don't think it's SML's baby. It's ML's.

BD meanwhile makes me more excited for the next tricks by the junior princes to gain the attention of Prince An.
The storyline is similar to The Yongzhen Dynasty. Except it's not as awesome as TYD.
I love it! Especially the way Prince An took care of Mu Hai Yiao, the concubine in Episode 12.
This drama should enjoy a higher rating at least 8.
I cannot see the fuss and and feel angst experienced by Mu Yao and Hua Qian.
I find this kind of storyline ie. travelling back to the previous lifetime to save the future is so predictable.
Plus actors in Yuzheng's productions can be a bit overacting like the FL in The Yanxi Palace.
Too bad, the ML is a fine young actor. He was so good in One and Only.
