I get your point about the timeline, but I think youâre overlooking something important. The Prime Ministerâs motive for wanting to kill the ML after his sonâs death is definitely revengeâthat part is clear. But that doesnât mean his involvement in the MLâs motherâs death happened because of his sonâs death.
The drama eventually makes it explicit that 15 years earlier, Zhuang Shen himself fabricated evidence to frame Wei Qingyu as a spy and admitted that he personally killed her. So his history with the ML and his family clearly predates his sonâs death.
Thatâs why I donât think the storyline can be reduced to âhis son died, therefore he suddenly wanted the ML dead.â His sonâs death became another reason for his revenge, but it wasnât the beginning of his conflict with the MLâs family. And thatâs exactly why I think looking at the larger political conspiracy matters here. đ
back to this! the female lead pisses me off badly jeezz. why is she so stiff?? no chemistry between them at all
'No chemistryâ because sheâs not constantly smiling and throwing herself at him? đ Please, some of us actually enjoy chemistry that isnât written like a TikTok edit. You can dislike the FL or find her stiff, but that doesnât automatically mean thereâs no chemistry between them

Mind you, the Prime Minister had already framed MLâs mother and was the one responsible for her death before his own son was killed. So his hostility toward ML didnât suddenly start because of his sonâs death. He had already wronged ML and his family long before that. His sonâs death only turned that existing conflict into something even more personal for him and gave him another reason to seek revenge.
HEAVY SPOILER RANT !!! Also, its a bit irritating that everyone in the world wants to ML for no obvious reasons.…
I think youâre judging the charactersâ motivations too individually instead of looking at the bigger political conspiracy at play. You donât have to agree with their actions, but saying everyone wants the ML dead for âno obvious reasonâ oversimplifies the entire plot. đ
And honestly, Fated Hearts is literally built around characters being both players and pawns in a much larger political game. Thatâs part of what makes the political storyline so interesting and not everything revolves around the ML alone.
PLUS, Iâd also say the Prime Minister isnât doing all of this solely for his son. His son is certainly one of his motivations, but his actions are also tied to his own political ambitions, interests, and the larger power struggle. Reducing his entire character to âheâs just avenging his sonâ completely overlooks the bigger picture. đ
I literally didnât watch this masterpiece for YEARS???
