but they showed us the grandfather saying all this about their ancestor so technically it's still him (isn't that why he even lets them stay?)

one thing i can't understand is the friend's betrayal. He's not a bad person so the fact that he knew the ML the most and practically everything about him should've helped him NOT betray his best friend. Sure he wouldn't actively help the ML but at least question the hate towards him or secretly help stop the betrayal. It's just makes no sense that not one person outside his subordinates understands the ML. The FL was with him for days and switched sides right away while ppl with him for years can't see anything worth second-guessing?

Question is how does it even work when it’s not her name? (She asks “what if I’m not Ming yi” and the string still appears at the end between them so how? ) also, based on the trailer he already found out her identity later 👀 so fast. Can’t wait to see how the relationship is gonna be from now on.

I don't think scriptwriters have a good view on emperors at all. I can count the amount of kind or even sane emperors in c-dramas on one hand, it's just sad. Not everyone with power falls to corruption. And not all siblings need to fight for power! there is never a ruler who has ONE CHILD and if they do, their ministers ask them to produce more so there has to be a normal ruling family for once. if they fought for power or kept having doubts of betrayal, no kingdom will survive a day. Ugh so annoying

better yet where are ppl watching it so fast?

I don’t know how I feel about the ML falling for the FL, he showed his dark and good side so although some stuff about him are hidden she ends up falling for a 90% version of himself while she’s not one bit herself with him (her flirty persona is not her nor her gentle damsel in distress not anything (maybe 10%)) so technically who is he looking for when the identity reveal happens? The girl he loved is a complete fabrication other than her outer appearance so the attraction is real atleast. Also I rewatched the trailer, “in your eyes, how foolish am I” nope sorry ML novel might’ve been an ass and needed to chase her but drama FL needs to throw a big gesture proclaiming her love cz this guy deserves it. I’m all for a strong independent woman but there is no such thing as a winner in love so she needs to melt her armor cz she’s lived too long as a man, she forgot how to express her feelings.

maybe in the novel it could've gone that way but no matter what china's regulations won't allow an ending NOT in modern era especially time-travel is a big NO so to allow something similar it would have to be that they went inside a script that has them going back in time and then getting out only to find out it was a fever dream. since she was the one going through the door following the ML (i think they'll be the only ones remembering cz SHE was the one to go through a script of them all going to the past so they're characters in her dream- also why they were more into staying in the past) and why she is the only one vanishing away in the intro song and not the whole family

hmm this is a point as well, they could just pin this on the script and her fainting or something and imagining it all since she was the one to follow the backdoor and suddenly her family is there? they appeared like magic. also the scene of her vanishing to thin air is just her and not with the family so it might be all a dream which would be more approved with china's regulations than time travel and being her own ancestor all along

that's what i thought as well at first but no way will china approve a messy situation like that so either he adopted someone who completed the bloodline after her return/death or the ancestor was never him and it's his servant/companion who fabricated the story down the line so this course of action can happen. we see the ML knowing their story in teasers so maybe their history isn't correct

I have a question regarding the OST. There's a scene where the ML's engraving his and the FL's names on a divine tablet that ends up with they're souls intertwining (basically an eternal marriage situation) and getting retribution. Since he's writing her disguised name i'm guessing it's before he knows the truth so does this mean he's getting retribution cz her feelings aren't real yet or cz it's the wrong name and this is a sham relationship. I'd like to think this is actually post identity reveal when he's trying to prove his feelings for her for forgiveness and by writing her other name, he's saying this relationship he built with her is real to him

yesssss i've been waiting for it as well. i thought you meant a completed drama but definitely waiting at the edge of my seat for this one to come out (especially cz they both are transmigrating so the return to modern times with memories for each one makes sense for once. (china's regulations only allow modern endings even if the novel ends differently)

do you see the opening song? she leaves while young so either she just gave birth and the family left or they wrote it off as death (there was fire behind her so explains no body found) and he remarried to ensure they exist in the future (meaning she was never lady shen but an untold first wife so they don't mess up the timeline by knowing they'd end up in the past)

Something I don't get is if the FL is the "lady shen" wife of the ML (the ancestor) then she has to have a child before returning to modern times to complete the bloodline. if not then the ML must've married someone else afterwards. But then, leaving her child is not a happy ending either and i don't think their time in the past will reach that point so i'm conflicted as to how this will work out cz it's a direct effect on their family unless it's a coma (but then how will he remember as well)

ok novel ML sounds like an ass and i'm not sure how i feel about the FL going back to him. glad they changed his setting here cz i would've dropped this so fast.

so some points i'd like to ask novel readers before i start this, does the fl get cured from the poison? if so, is it before or after the reveal? does she fall for the ML while acting (like he did) or only realizes it post identity reveal? lastly, who is the one doing the chasing to get back together (i feel like she should cz her secret feels like a betrayal for him but if it's him then why?- did he actually poison her and needs to ask for forgiveness?)

Yh especially cz they’re together with memories then it’s ok.

by any chance is it guardians of the dafeng? if not, ur drama sounds interesting, can you write the name?

so some points i'd like to ask before i start this, does the fl get cured from the poison? if so, is it before or after the reveal? does the misunderstanding that he poisoned her/him being her enemy get resolved before or after he finds out about her identity? does she fall for the ML while acting (like he did) or only realizes it post identity reveal? lastly, who is the one doing the chasing to get back together (i feel like she should cz she's hiding more but if it's him then why?- did he actually poison her and needs to ask for forgiveness?)

but it's not the same person unless after she gets back, he'll get his memories too but what about the rest of the bonds created? at least here the family will remember too so that's a bonus rather just the leads.

my only problem with transmigration c-dramas are the fact that they need to end in going back to the modern world or death. the vibe of this is going back but since he is their ancestor, i dont think he'll be there in modern world. Also, what's the point of all the relationships and memories formed if no one but the lead remembers? i can't even skip the last episode cz i need closure which makes this so sad cz so many plots are worth it. if the novels are green lit with non modern endings why can't dramas be the same? i hate that the endings need to change even if the novels were liked
