Ngl, I always have to laugh when I see comments talking about 'western influence' and 'simping' regarding cdramas and female leads. Those comments are clearly from new cdrama watchers because this has been a thing for a long time and does not have to do with so called 'western influence'. I also feel like, because some of you are used to kdramas changing things to cater to western audiences, you think that cdramas are doing the same thing. They are not and never will because their domestic audience sustains them well enough. Also, before someone tries to attack me for this fact, this comment has nothing to do with Neo's lack of screentime. I'm not shading him or his character, and yes, I do agree that he got the short end of the stick regarding YZ, which is... unsurprising given that...it's YZ. He has a track record for this type of thing with whoever is billed first in his dramas. That being said, my main point is that RSB's characterization and the presence of female empowerment in a lot of cdramas had nothing to do with 'western influence' or 'simping', and some of you need to let your obsession with that go. There are lots of other shows/dramas that focus on male empowerment and strong men, so acting like female empowerment/strong female leads is some sort of Western obsession is absurd.

Agree with this 100%

I'm loving this show. I love all the plot twists.

The grandma has finally been demoted yay!

Omg y'all guess about him being a wei family member was right?!!!

He's the servant the whole time?!!!! I knew he was fake, but damn.

Do any of you have any guess as to what 'ybl's' motives are? I'm so confused. What exactly does he want? And why.

I can see your point, I mainly wrote my comment because I saw people saying the show is terrible and I was like woah woah. It’s understandable that people are feeling frustrated with the recent episode developments but this show isn’t terrible 😭😭 are most of the characters insane/cold? Yes but isn’t that what makes things interesting? 😂🤣

Tbh, I feel like I disagree with a lot of the comments, and the main reason is that I started this show purely because I liked the matriarchal aspect of it. So a lot of the feelings I have towards the plot are probably different because I never really cared about the romance. It's nice, but idk I don't really feel frustrated. I think I also feel this way because this is the first true reverse harem that I'm seeing in long CDrama form. Normally, it never is, and that annoys the crap out of me because when the roles were switched, back before palace dramas were basically banned, you'd see men with a ton of women, and it's just nice to see it in reverse this time. I also like watching the scheming because, well, I love palace dramas, and this is giving that vibe.

Additionally, YZ is part of this drama, so I never had super high expectations to begin with because I've seen enough of his dramas to know what he typically produces, etc., and this is very on-brand. But not in a perfect-match sort of way; I really hated that drama.

Anyway, I can't wait to see our white lotus second male lead start showing more of his fangs. I'm also really excited to find out how RSB and LJL will end up towards the end of this. All in all, this has been so fun to watch. Makes me miss my palace dramas so so much lmao.

Ohhh sorry and thank you!

There isn’t one though, it just says what novel it’s based on.

Can someone tell me what this is supposed to be about?

Ik she isn't blind but I thought some might consider that a major spoiler so I didn't include it.

何善凯＆杨馥羽《太子别哭，娶我超甜的》
A prince goes to another country to marry their crown prince, and he pretends to work at a tea house to get close to the female lead for the cure to cure his poison. Aka, the cure is them sleeping together. It's a typical 'my family sucks, I went to a foreign land to become a princess by marriage and the prince, and I end up loving each other' story.

Male lead is He Shan Kai, Female lead is Yang Fuyu

English title: "Prince, Don't Cry, Marry Me - It's Super Sweet"/ 太子別哭，娶我超甜的

What exactly is RYS's issue with RSB (she's the blind sister)? She never did anything to her. She never bullied her or disrespected her, so this random antagonizing is odd. Also, I feel like the only way this family will truly thrive is if grandma dies.

Yeah it hasn't been available anywhere for awhile. Sometimes it comes back on youtube and then gets taken off again. Try doing a google search using the chinese character name.

Sammmeee

He Xing Ming keeps saying he's not interested in Rong Shan Bao anymore and that she's his enemy now, but the looks he keeps giving her, and the looks of jealousy in episode 12 say otherwise. As for the Yang brothers, I'm excited to see how this younger twin differs from his brother. I wonder if he'll become obsessed with Shan Bao as well.

Now here's my theory and how his brother died.
1. I think that He Xing Ming, Rong Yun Shu, and Rong Yun Xi all had something to do with it, and based on the previews and clips I've seen on Xiaohongshu, worked together to frame Shan Bao's little sister, Rong Yun Wan. I think the person who actually did the killing is either Rong Yun Shu ('blind') sister or Bai Ying Sheng.
2. I think somehow, some way, that idiot, I mean, 4th sister Rong Yun Yin, will end up taking the fall for this somehow? But maybe that's too soon? Is this wishful thinking? Most likely. Lmao. She's just working my last nerves, and I need her karma to happen quickly.

Who do you guys think killed him?

I'm just guessing but I think it's because if he exposes that he has it, she'll have to marry him. And he'd torture her for sure.

I'm wondering when the 4th sister will realize she's being played.
