best thing abt this drama is really our leads acting, they're both so good in micro expression.,that part when…
Wei Shao boasting about him knowing the content of the letter while the remaining four were silent! I love that part.
Then, he threw his tantrum. Wei Shao is definitely behaving like a young male adult. In the novel, he was 22. His father and brother were killed when he was 12.
I am not and wish to see more of his tricks. In the novel, after his infactuation was exposed, he left for the Xingnu grassland to reunite with his father.
He was unhappy with his life and in the end, he left the Xiongnu state to seek happiness after making his father the Xiongnu king.
The Xiongnus are also the Wei family's enemy. In fact, in the novel, Wei Shao's grandfather killed the Xiongnu's messenger when he came to ask if their Prince could have his wife and child back.
So, I think instead of the Xiongnu story, the scriptwriters replaced it with the Chen family. Cheaper cost.
There is more to it. He does have another identity
He is the son of the General Chen, the uncle of the current ruler of Bianzhou? In the novel, Madam Su Erhuang was a widow with no power once her husband died because she had no children.
The casting director should have done much better in selecting a far more attractive, pretty, and mature for the…
SZE is a good choice. Hankiz Omar can't act, I'm afraid, although she is stunning, while the rest are simply too old to play XQ although one or two can act such as Jing Tian.
Bear in mind that the beauty is defined differently during the period. No man sees a woman outside her inner courtyard. So, it's always a rumour unless one has seen the lady in person.
Liu Yuning is a good choice. Zhang Wanyi is another actor who can pull off this character. Luo Jin is another one but he is way too old to be partnered with SZE.
I don't think he and Huang are allies. She doesn't know about his identity.
Who is his father? Shao qu means his father is either a Duke or a General. I suspect the father is the old man who told off the Duke of Bianzhou about him not attending the prayers.
I think the old man will take over Bianzhou when the nephew dies.
The sleepover is another comedy act.
And, him always saying he will not argue with women. It shows how sensitive he is about women. He is a gentleman.
Then, he threw his tantrum. Wei Shao is definitely behaving like a young male adult. In the novel, he was 22. His father and brother were killed when he was 12.
He was unhappy with his life and in the end, he left the Xiongnu state to seek happiness after making his father the Xiongnu king.
He was not an evil character in the novel.
Or, he could be a brother of the current Duke. Only his grandmother knows his background.
So, I think instead of the Xiongnu story, the scriptwriters replaced it with the Chen family. Cheaper cost.
In the novel, she came back to stir things up and was punished by the magistrate.

Nothing is said about him after he left Xiongnu.
