I didn't know how tall Tian Xiwei was before, but standing beside Xu Kai, without the heels, she did look quite tall. Most FLs don't look that tall standing beside Xu Kai.

lol, that's true. I consider Wu Jiayi and Bai Lu as similar in age FLs to Xu Kai. One is a few months younger, the other is a few months older.

I almost could not recognize her without the bangs, lol! But yeah, she looks a lot more beautiful without the bangs.

Yes, for both the main leads and the side cp.

I'm sure you do. Given your retarded analysis to defend your argument. Take care.

You are grasping at straws here. There is no interpretation issue here, the issue here is that you seem to have missed a lot of what actually transpired and are making up your own assumptions of the situation to defend your perspective, which is sad. Cause I have been there before, and I know the feeling. Please go back and re-watch all Gu family related scenes, you see for it yourself.

You also seem to have missed the conversation between Miss Gu and her maid where her maid would say something to the effect like, "Miss, it seems like master cares for you." But Miss Gu replies with something to the effect of, "It's only because he discovered that I'm intelligent."

You know, if you go back read your replies, you would know why you gave that impression. You yourself admitted that you misunderstood that Miss Gu is the only daughter. You also seem to not know how she ended up in that ancestral home. You seem to not know a lot about their situation yet are so sure about the father-daughter feelings. Makes one wonder.

Sure. It tells when you dismissed my first point as irrelevant and provided a lame argument to defend your position on my second point.

I'll take my leave now. 👋

I made my case in the reply I just posted. I will not further respond to you on this topic, because it seems you fast forwarded a few scenes or maybe you are conveniently ignoring them.

Uff.. I don't have the patience to explain the whole damn plot, I'll just give you two examples, which I already gave you, but you seem to be ignoring them since they don't fit your narrative.

1. Miss Gu was often bullied by her older sisters and then sent to the Gu family's ancestral home to pray. This was basically a banishment. Do you think her father didn't know? He did. The first time Miss Gu and her father meet and talk to each other in the drama, her father says to her in a round about way, he didn't know he had such an intelligent daughter before. Otherwise he wouldn't send her to the ancestral home.

2. After their plot was discovered by Li Ni, Gu father made no move to get his daughter out of the eastern palace. Forget that, he made no move to even inform her about the situation. And so, Miss Gu had no idea of it all when she confronted Li Ni -- she could have been killed on spot. Lol.
What's more, Gu father, to save his own skin, is convicting Li Ni as a rebel. You know what happens to a rebel and his family? Everyone gets publicly executed, which includes his daughter.

No, by pretense, I meant to speak with their guard up. If they aren't against outsiders, they are guarding against each other.

When it was on air, I also didn't pay much attention to Miss Gu storyline, so I missed the part about her situation in her family. Only in my rewatch did I catch on to this.

Still, when it was on air, I could tell that Minister Gu and Miss Gu are only using each other for their own goals. Perhaps because I have read too many novels set in ancient china, or watched too many dramas set in ancient china, but when two people talk behind closed doors, they can shed all pretense and be themselves. Like FL and her father. If they are still keeping up their pretense up, like Miss Gu and her father, then I'm sorry to inform you, that is not how a real father and daughter would interact.

I guess, I should have put quote marks for "care", because it really wasn't "care". Sorry for my oversight. But you get my point.
He may feel pride, but not fatherly love.

It looks like you have really misunderstood this Minister Gu character lol. Sending in as the concubine could make Miss Gu's life miserable, and it did. No matter how much power Minister Gu has in the court, he can't extend his influence to the Eastern Palace to protect his daughter. He is basically letting her into a tiger's den. Thus, there's a significant distinction between sending her in as the Crown Princess and as a mere concubine.

I sincerely suggest you rewatch their scenes. Compare them with the scenes between FL and her father.

I also don't get where you watched these scenes where he attempted to "discourage" her. I do remember him asking her to be cautious, or educate her of some dangers. All this could not be construed as a father's care, instead it was him being cautious to not get caught if something goes awry.

No loving father, after knowing that their schemes were discovered, would not leave his daughter to her own devices. He didn't even inform his daughter that they had been exposed.

Yes, the Gu family had other daughters too. They were not shown, probably cut. But there were a few mentions of them. Like how some of them bullied her and got her sent to the Gu family's ancestral home to pray or something... this was basically banishment. And this was where she meets the ML for the first time.

Oh, no. It wasn't me who posted this on YouTube. I posted this link here on MDL before, hence my comment.

Minister Gu is always in it for himself. He didn't care for his daughter's life. If he really did care, he wouldn't scheme to send her in as a concubine. He liked the idea she pitched to him, so he schemed to make it happen.
