Okay. Still is a lot considering the whole "deceiving the emperor" thing and the whole she'll have to get married one day thing. Having more kids seems easier than this.

Do we know why Shulin is cosplaying a boy? They haven't told us that yet right?

"... and thought he cheated on Shulin with a brothel girl."

This is frying me. Full on King's Affection action. lol

Um...lol...aren't their some logistical issues there that should have...er...given him some clues that she was a lady??? lol

Yeah. It's like the Avengers of Chinese actors in this one. lol

That's good to know.

TELLME!!!!

"I really really reallyyyyy want to see you calling Cui Jinbai your wife just like in the novel."

WHATTT????

I know we're getting some "Kings Affection" action but that's just TOOO funny. When does Cui Jinbai finally find out the person he loves is actually a woman.

I read somewhere that 9th prince is gonna eventually poison his future wife. Is that true?

Thanks!

Think about what Prince Xin says. Even if she's Crown Princess for a few years, that's enough to secure her position and that of her family. And then she'd be a powerful widow that no one would bother.

She's after power. Potentially being the Empress temporarily or Crown Princess temporarily, securing her new family and her own position means she can live a comfortable life. Remember she's never felt romantic love for anyone. She wants to live freely and secure her family.

Oh okay.

Please spoil away.

And this was with her being the beloved consort of one of the Emperor's favored sons. She wants power so she doesn't have to meet that kind of end again. She's not going to get power by playing nice and being likable.

She was pawn in her last life who watched her entire family get slaughtered b/c they ended on the wrong side of political power struggle. The only "power" she had in the situation was to sacrifice her own life to wipe out the family that did hers end.

So he has a wife, a concubine and a son? Correct? The Madam Rui is a concubine? - and she married in as a consort.

She poisoned herself to set-up the Fan family which was the 'cause of her family's downfall. She wiped them out as well with that one decision.

Been wondering that as well. This rebirth seems to be more a second chance at life, more than a revenge plot. To learn from her past mistakes and do better. There's no one for her to take revenge on, so it's just a chance to "do better" and not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Why does it have to be sensible? And she's not abusing him? If anything he's abusing her. She just needs cover so young ladies won't approach her and hanging out with him solves that. No ladies approach him b/c of his standing and reputation.
