In my language we have a saying, the fish starts to smell/rot from the head. This exemplifies the situation in this drama perfectly.

Unless they announce season 2, I am disregarding that scene. Though considering the numbers this drama pulled in, season 2 should be in the basket as long as the leads are up for it.

The emperor wants to make her head of the Investigation Bureau and she decines, telling the emperor that she is not fit because whenever she solves the case, the guilty parties are forgiven and cannot be brought to justice so she sees no point in continuing.

She manages to clear her father's name, get revenge in an awesome manner and tell the emperor to f off. I love Peiyi.

Spoilers for last episode

I won't be able to watch until tonight unfortunately. I am at a family function and have to socialise 🥲

Happy ending. I did not have time to watch the new episodes, just the ending sequence. The emperor and Consort Shu are happily waving from a balcony as the main leads leave the capital, riding in red robes and grinning ear to ear

I was able to purchase the express package to access the last 3 episodes on Youku. I'm not sure why it's not available for some people

I did not have time to watch the new episodes, just the ending sequence. The emperor and Consort Shu are happily waving from a balcony as the main leads leave the capital, riding in red robes. So I assume she is not the villain in the story.

Yes, they leave the capital together to live happily ever after.

Yes, it's the name of his character in Love Like The Galaxy :)

*Ling Buyi. But I totally agree with your point. Same-ish childhood trauma, same-ish upbringing, same-ish rage and desire for revenge above all else.

Unfortunately translation is always an act of betrayal.

Ooh, I saw some that looked like that in historical minidramas. Nice to know they were accurate, they looked weird to someone unaccustomed to them.

Yes, according to the airing calendar

And it was her 2nd failed engagement. In the novel, I really like when she says to Yuan Shen after their engagement is cancelled as well that in the future she will not be getting engaged ever again. She will jump straight to marriage :D

In LLTG the massacre happened 3 days before the wedding, so Shaoshang's family would not have been involved. In one of the conversations they had afterwards LBY admits that he knew he would not survive the event and marry her... which is something I will never forgive him for. FL kept giving him chances to come clean since she knew something was wrong, but he let her and her family get ready for a wedding that was never going to happen. She was literally trying on her wedding dress before she went to save him.

People have a habit of minding their business and not seeing or hearing anything when someone with power is involved. If the villain could kill the prince and his family without any consequences, the witnesses are insignificant flies and dead before they even think to open their mouths.

People expected a romance-focused show despite the tags and synopsis and were disappointed.
