Thumbs up to the wardrobe dept. I appreciate how everyone is dressed appropriately for the office and business events. They were dressed horrendously in office dramas like Mr. Crow and Miss Lizard (FL didn't have a single professional outfit) and Lost Romance (ML wore tuxedoes and party suits).

Subtitles are always teaching me new vocabulary. Word of the day: freshet - the flood of a river from heavy rain or melted snow.

Super cute main couple, but omg the villain storyline is so boring. The supervillain talked so slow it put me to sleep.

Minister Feng already knows ML's secret identity. In episode 6, when she asked him if he was "secretive" and "elegant," she was really asking him if he is Fengxi and Lanxi because those are their respective nicknames. It really got lost in the subtitles. I only understood it after reading CloudA's explanations on the names meanings in the Discussion section above. Also, it's obvious she knows he's HFX as he's always issuing commands for Fountain Abode in front of her.

I rewatched this scene after reading CloudA's explanation of all the names and meanings in the discussion. The coded language they were using finally made sense. FQW was asking him if he was "secretive" or "elegant," referring to both nicknames for his two different Gentlemen identities. So she definitely knew.

But then isn’t she really confused that he knows the famous BFX at all? If she already knew he is HFX, then that explains how she can just accept meeting BFX.

Does Feng Qiwu know that Lanxi is HFX? I’ve been unclear on this since she tried to snoop with that invoice for the dress.

I get my Chinese drama news from these two YouTubers: Avenue X and Marcus here! They get news from original Chinese sources and give summaries in English.

In trailer for ep22, I think Miss Huan is the dancer in the aqua dress and veil who stares at the Prince when he enters the room to get BFX. So whatever she did at that dancehall is what gets her in trouble with him. I bet she just wanted a look at BFX in person.

@Pencil Box Totally, I specifically fast-forwarded to find those subs and a few other scenes that confused me. They corrected major mistakes but didn’t fix all the little awkward grammatical errors.

I am in the US where it is available tomorrow. I vpn'd to Australia to check because they're a day ahead.

Netflix subs are 98% similar to Tencent subs. They just cleaned up some grammar and noticeably changed "Black Foxy" to "Black Fox" and "Four Gentry" to "Four Gentleman." The changes I definitely would have made.

After seeing the trailer for ep22, can't wait for Chancellor Ren to find out BFX is a princess!

Are you referring to the episode where Prince Ju leads their dad to the hot springs palace to visit him to try to catch him out, and then he confesses to not being in the palace the whole time because he was praying at his mom's tomb?

Everyone's been calling her Miss Feng, since her name is Feng Xi. HFX calls her Miss Feng with all his servants.

Why was there ominous music and scared looks when the imperial ambassador asked Prince Lanxi to take him to his mom's tomb? Is it because the tomb is located on that mountain behind the hot springs palace? Or because there was no official altar set up for her?

Then this explains why Tencent haven't uploaded full episodes on their YouTube channel. Also, I'm surprised it's Netflix when Tencent dramas have usually gone on Amazon, e.g. You Are My Glory, Tiger and Rose, Sword and Brocade.

I watched season 1 and I can't even remember anything about it because it was so blah. Was anyone really clamoring for a sequel?

Agreed, he gets to smile instead of just being stone-faced the entire time.

In the novel, when do they get married? Because I'm guessing the wedding scene in the trailer will probably be the last episode...
