I noticed they set up some future scenes. So if a scene felt incomplete we will find out in a later episode or scene. I think they have set up for revenge. They all lovey dovey at the party so all the antagonist will be activated. And they were... ♥

LBY broke it off and regretted it. CSS wanted to follow him but he wouldn't have it. After the 5yrs LBY has not returned. The Empress is dying and wants to see CSS get married. Of course YS is in there like a dirty shirt and puts himself forward. CSS agrees to appease the Empress. The engagement only lasts for about a month. However, LBY returns and fights to get her back. How sweet.♥

What do you mean jumpy? They are following each character and the only time they might jump around is with flash backs. I find they fill in the blanks quite well as they go along. I've seen some show that you are left with questions after the show has ended. This one fills in the history. The only time is when they are setting up for a scene that is going to happen but hasn't happened yet. But it will. ♥

Yes lots of growth there. This show is all about parenting and how it affects each young person. All of the children, princes and princesses alike each one has their own problems stemming from the behavior of their parents. Good or bad. ♥

Darn spell check. hahahha

Me too. I dumped quite a few (not going to bother with them) after seeing such a golden production. The bar is set high. No more crazy trope, fluff any longer. ♥

Yes every story needs a protagonist. He does it so well. ♥

LOL they would have wrestled the gifts away from her eventually. Given her a few token gifts. It's just her character coming from a poor background. She is so uncouth I know.♥

It's my understanding he had in his contract about romantic scenes. His contract has now changed and he can engage in romantic scenes. (Mom or no Mom.) I don't blame putting that in his contract. Why rush adulthood even if you are a star. ♥

To be honest this is one of the most exciting series to come out of China for a very long time. Forget the other fluff pieces productions do. This one is true gold.♥

The ratings by age on MDL 18 - 24 yrs that have tanked it. It's so beyond them to understand a well made, well acted, well directed series that they tank it. So malevolent. Probably not for those reasons. You can check this by Ratings: 8.3/10 from 760 users << clicking on the lines next to this line on the top. ♥

My question here is Did Niao Niao tell LBY what really happened on the bridge/water scene? What did he have to promise? All answers welcome. No answer is wrong.♥

Here is an interesting article. Helps with all historical dramas. I know it can be confusing about marriages. https://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/culture/ancient-chinese-marriage-customs.htm

Qiqi and Song's relationship is an ongoing one. Her Dad is a General and she went with him to war. (That's why she is so spunky.) QiQi's Dad is also good friends with Song's Dad so yes they interacted in other places. Remember at the beginning when she first appeared Song was telling Niao Niao all about QiQi. He's known her for a while.♥

Yes but how does she really feel about CSS? I can't figure Consort Yue out quite yet.♥

Yes I heard that too. Time travel shows are now a no no in China. So they probably changed it to what we see now. I think that explains her interest in building things and architecture ahead of her time. ♥

She is really putting a kibosh to LBY and his cohorts plan to depose the Crown Prince and bring in 3rd Prince. He is going to need to out think her to accomplish his ends. Maybe 3rd Prince should be nice to CSS so she will help him. We shall see how it plays out. hahahahaha♥

Yah I know there are flaws but I always take the good with the bad in every C Drama I watch. The productions are not flawless a bit like a real on stage production. However, with that said some are more sloppy than others. This production has very few slip ups. Just a bit with some continuity which is normal I've noticed. ♥

Did anyone notice YS coming to the engagement and how he was ready for action. When the Old Consort arrived he was pleased and said I don't have to worry now. His jaw was on the ground when the old consort and her friend were escorted out under guard. He dodged a bullet there. hahahahaha♥

Takes me a while to digest each episode.♥
