Take a hike with your age difference. Here they are both 18+ adults. Your comment is just filled with rage bait and gaslighting which didn't work here thankfully.

Chastity arches were more prominent during the Ming Dynasty. It was more like a tradition to raise arches for virtuous widows.

This comment section is getting more crazier than the drama.

True it's heavy but it's rewarding in the end.

People terrified of Madam Yu through the screen. I mean I can't blame them. Her aura is truly frightening.

I don't think it's his son he is talking to, it's someone we don't know about. Maybe someone who passed away who was close to him. After watching the 20th episode and the fear in the sons eyes after disappointing him made me think they don't have a good bonding. Half the show we only see the mother around the son never the father, you see where I'm going with this?

I'm not surprised to see Mr Yu talking to an invisible person about ambition, I mean the whole family is just crazy. That scene was also creepy, was he hallucinating someone we don't know about?

Wow what a drama, the main leads are killing it. Can't wait for more.

The drama was good till episode 15, then onwards it went downhill. Too many plot holes. The female leads personality changing midway, well that comes in bad writing. Overall I can just say that this is an over rated drama. The rating for this should around 7.5 for me.

She is I think, lets see.

The empress dowager handed Zue die to the cang bei and Teng Feng with a pikachu face agreed to it. It's obvious where this plot will go, Zue die will rescued by Mo Jing Li and the pikachu guy will be dead and the war might start regardless.

Same expression? bs. What about his disability acting? when he was in isolation and breaking things in his study? You could clearly see he had suicidal tendency or when he shows love to the female lead? or his depression acting? how come you saw all that and came to a conclusion that his expression is same...I think he is best for this role. All I see is an ignorant and biased comment here. I don't think you know what acting is...

The Marquis is the real villain obviously but his actions are motivated by the empress who knows his evil intentions but keeps quiet about it since she benefits from it and the consort Qin who hides in the corner like a little rat knowing everything. Yes at the end of the day they are villains who directly or indirectly played a role in the death of prince ding's family and innocent people.

She is a consort not a concubine. A consort is an official wife of a royal husband(in this case the late emperor). A concubine is an unoffical wife and holds a lower standing or rank than the official wife. The current empress Gou Jin was a consort before she became an empress and had a equal rank as the current consort dowager Qin Zheng. Gou Jin was elevated to the empress rank because her son became the emperor after the late emperor passed away.

In this drama it is not dubbed but it seems the leads have dubbed themselves. It seems in some scenes like episode 22, they only did the acting but left out the voice script and later on dubbed their voices.

This episode was the result of Qin's own foolishness. I mean which parent would send you out to kill someone and there were signs that he would be caught. There were many red flags throughout the past episodes that the Marquis just sees him as something to discard. If he survives this encounter and still goes back to his father, then my sympathy for him will go down the drain.

I second this

He's the main antagonist, he will pop out at any moment.

Yes

They are not divorcing.
