It's most likely going to be bitter sweet. I'm going to leave a spoiler comment down below.

I've watched a couple of the mvs and trailers and based on that I feel like the major events that happened in the book are still going to take place in the show.

I honestly don't mind too much. I just wish that the airing schedule was faster.

I'm getting the same vibes too! That explains why I like it so much.

I really hope that unlike the book, Mo xi and FY eventually reunite towards the end. I see that they are changing a lot of things/adding stuff which is nice so hopefully they change that part too.

I can't read Chinese unfortunately. I can only understand small bits and pieces of mandarin. I used google lens for the character chart so I can tell you the basic gist of the character chart...

The arrows between Moxi and FY state that they are cousins/relatives.
The arrow from CWD to Moxi says something about unrequited love. So basically he likes her.
Arrow from empress dowager (young) played by Yang Chao Yue to her brother, states that they are brother and sister.
Arrow between her brother and CWD states that they are enemies basically.
Arrow from the brother to girl in red (sorry idk her name) states that they are enemies.
Arrow from Feng Yan to Feng Ming states that they are brother and sister/relatives.
Arrow from Zhou Po Zi to Empress Dowager, basically Zhou Po Zi works for her/is her servant?? Not too sure but it's something like that. Maybe her wet nurse? Not sure.
Double-sided arrow from Mo xi to girl in green/red is signifying friendship.
The girl to the right of FY is Shen Shu Mo's sister.
The rest of the arrows in that right corner are basically just showing who works for who.

That's all I got. Sorry if it's not super accurate.

I think you are right about training courtesan’s but I’m getting the vibe they aren’t aware of that at first.

Also I made a thread on Twitter about what I think is possibly going to happen in the next coming episodes.

Here’s the link: https://twitter.com/sirry1998/status/1667016268044443648?s=46&t=qBmQwK0tWYbSZzDH2D4-Rw

I knew it! I knew that palace was fishy!

They are deviating from the novel a bit, but they never become enemies because of the men they are with. The men they are with are on opposing sides. So there isn't really a choice. Both try to do what they can to protect each other but they are women with no real power so there is only so much they can do. The focus of this drama is going to be Mo Xi and Feng Yao's devotion to each other with their love lines probably coming 2nd place. Obviously, there is probably going to be a little fighting which is common among sisters, but this isn't the type of drama where they betray each other in the end. Hope this helps.

Currently trying to figure out the same thing lol. I understand enough to get by without subs but...still

So excited for this movie!

🤣😂 I was going to do the same but it's too late for me. I'm hooked.

I'm going to have to wait for all the episodes to come out otherwise this show will make me die of anger 🤣🤣

In the novel he likes her but he doesn't cross that line because she's "CWD's woman" and he looks up to CWD like a son. This part is before CWD dies. After he dies then they are together.

In the novel, Moxi slept with Jia Gui first and then shortly afterward was forced to sleep with CWD in place of FY. This was b4 FY was married to JG so no she didn't do it on purpose. FY and JG don't develop a love line until wayy later. CWD finds out cause she tells him and after she almost dies trying to get rid of the kid, he tells her to just give birth instead of trying to get rid of it. FY eventually gets pregnant and she raises Moxi's kid and her own as her own. She loves Moxi's kid a lot. Also, atp she thought that Moxi had died.

Yes I love the soundtrack. It's so nice.

I wish this was on the Youku international app... :/

Where are you watching this?

Yeah, I wish they did better promoting. And they look so cute in that photo.
