C-government doesn’t allow any transmigration or time travel things… they need the modern novelist backstory…
which one was it out of curiosity? same thing happened to me with scent of time. as soon as I realized it was all a dream kinda plot I stopped being interested in the plot
His face fell hearing that though… that pulls a heart string for me 😭 poor XW
yeah he was smiling one minute happy that she was observing him and came to the right conclusions abt him. only for her to break his heart in the next breath 😭
the show is purely a battle of wits. most the fighting and war is done behing closed doors. I love how even though the emperor is shown to be quite smart in his own rights . his secret motivations are used by XW to manipulate him. XJN, XW and ZZ are so freaking smart and strategic they never drop the ball.
seriously never a boring second in this drama. usually I fast forward a ton . especially with supporting characters but here I even go back and rewatch to not miss dialogue. this might end up being my fave drama this year (depends on the ending )
Finally watched today 's episodes. Xie wei's scenes in ep 18 were devastating. it will be interesting to see how he will be cured. I like how quick he was to resolve the misunderstanding with XJN. One thing that's great about this show is how transparent leads are with eo.
one of favorite things about this drama is how ML and FL share strategies and put faith in each other. no "I know how to act for your own good and imma keep you totally in the dark and create misunderstandings that last 5 episodes" trope. they both actually have respect for each other's 🧠
I’ve been looking forward to this seried for years. Now that we’re almost at the halfway mark, does this drama…
I was waiting for this everyday since may. I am loving it . the story the cast and CP personalities. I am very particular about my FLs and MLs and here imo we got one of the sharpest smartest of the bunch. I wish the production was better though.
we must be watching radically different shows. cuz violent? xie wei hasn't even held a sword in his second life.…
what's misogynistic is saying we like a character solely because he is handsome. brainless fangirl trope again. and the people commenting above are mostly talking about novel Xie Wei. I haven't read the novel, most didn't and won't. so talking about whitewashing evil deeds that are yet to materialize in the show is ridiculous to me.

I haven't read the novel so I wouldn't know but it was clear from that scene where FL lied and said she was interested in antique restoration that she is willing to align herself with his interests to make him like her. even change for him and wonders if she can be good enough for him. seeing his righteous magnanimous self , I agree that most likely he doesn't like all of her. Xie wei likes her knowing how cunning and scheming she is. she doesn't pretend one bit with him.
I loved it though - he didn't defend his (in)action. He wanted to save her, and only her - Cui Lin stand-in was…
I understand her perspective tbh. She can't get over ML letting young master die even if ML was in no obligation to do so. it's still her "brother" who died. she is allowed her grief. however irrational it might be .
The Princess was spot on with her remark btw ...Xie Wei was definitely acting like an older brother in the ceremony. he had such a gentle proud expression 🥹

our JXN is cruel but that why I love her 🤣🤣

and personally I really like ZZ. I just think XW is way more compatible with FL. She gets to be herself with him.

MJTY direction and cinematography with this storyline and cast would have been an unparalleled force of nature.
