Bowties are cool

There isn't supposed to be a delay on the subs. They probably haven't finished subbing the episodes.
They released all the rest of Go Go Squid 2 with complete subs so I guess it took priority or rather this drama didn't have priority

Its more like get it done - but I don't care what means you use. Strickly speaking he would have no issue with how it was done since he didn't seem to mind that they blew up his mansion with the scientists in it.

Am glad I didn't have to wait long for the bad guys to push Vincenzo over the edge. Can't wait to see what happens when he stops taking the path of least resistance.

my two cents - I think the ML doesn't like having so many women in the inner courtyard because they create drama. From what I have seen he had a child with Concubine Wen because while he and his army were fighting up north they couldn't get supplies and so her family bankrolled his army at the time and it saved his soldiers lives so he took her in as a way to thank her family because they were merchant class and it would help them to have an offspring who was from the noble class.
It seems to me that once the older concubines had a child he felt he was no longer obligated to be intimate with them - He didn't really seem to be super into his first wife either for that matter.
The other concubines child passed away and it seems she cant have any more - probably some scheming happened there.
Anyway he always ends up sleeping alone even before his marriage to FL.

YES! So refreshing- because its so realistic.

agreed - the chemistry was off the charts.

Episodes are early, may this continue

Let's hope her character here has more dimensions. So far not bad.

I would argue that he has never loved any of the concubines even the newest one. It seems like he tried to make things work with his 1st wife but they had a differing of opinion on how to ensure their son's future.

What I liked- The plot was great. ML and FL character are perfect together. I so enjoyed watching them match wits against each other and they had a deep understanding of each other's motives.
Chu Beije is my favorite ML in a historical drama.

What I didn't like -
The CGI was lousy, really bad in some parts. There were also some continuity issues like going from night to day to night again in the same scene but that wasn't a major issue.

So, help a sister out. I was able to download and translate the book and I am now adding things like page breaks and font changes to make it easier to read. Question I have is what is eleven sister's name because the google translator has it as eleven mother and that just make it akward to read

Its actually better on the app than the website but I prefer the bigger screen on the computer.

Tbh, he could have spared the expense. I am NOT a fan of the FL's costume. I don't why they insisted on putting her those multicolored flowing dresses throughout.

Finished the first 8 episodes and am so excited for all the rest of the show.

I find the Iqiyi website worse in my case- sometimes I have to reload the page like 3-4 times so that it can play.

I became a fan after seeing him in the General & I.

I think so too - and I like it.

I love how intelligent the dialogue can be.

video quality is lower.

Iqiyi will probably do that whole releasing 2 ep with subs a day starting next week.
