We finally get a hug in ep14!!

Every time I see Meng Zi Yi's red, teary eyes I wonder if she is applying medicated oil to her eyes to make them irritated so she can fake cry. I'm also very fed up with her character and acting at this point. She has the most heartwrenching back story: murdered mother, cold palace, brother held hostage, and poisoned...and yet she still doesn't think she can ask for help. Somehow they've turned a very sympathetic character into an annoying dummy.

The drama has fallen off a cliff both literally and figuratively.

I really hate the trope where the FL does not confide in her husband/partner and tries to do everything alone, which leads to misunderstandings and putting herself in even more danger. It almost makes me want to stop watching.

the drama hasn’t explained it, but in the novel it’s because his uncle became crown prince after his dad died and then became emperor when his grandpa died. his grandpa wanted ML to inherit the throne but he didn’t want it and let his cousin inherit.

Cousins. Both of their dads were sons of the emperor. ML's dad was a crown prince who died.

This is the Song Wei Long drama I've been waiting for. He is simply styled and gorgeous, and his FL is small and cute. Just straightforward fluff.

That is where I saw her. I knew it was a modern drama but couldn’t remember which one.

thank you!!

Somebody please tell me where I have seen the actress who plays Shaoyao before. It's driving me crazy because I know I saw her in another drama recently.

He attends the school run in her family home, they have no relation.

Well that was one cliffhanger twist! What an ending for ep 17!

FL received it from ML, but she was never even close to dying.

Yes, the CPR was ridiculous, lol.

It was a relief to finally get the mother's villain origin story. Now I just need the romance to move along.

older sister is long dead, and FL never even met her. there is no ick.

Just started, and whoa, FL's mother looks like the evil stepmother from Disney's Cinderella.

This drama has too many evil women: the aunt, the royal princess, the daughter princess, eldest sister's mother-in-law, and sometimes grandma. It's getting tiring looking at so many bitchy faces.

What a great, sweet drama. It is similar to other modern romance dramas that have come out in the last 2 years, but I didn't have to fast forward through any boring parts in this one!

The only thing I don't get is why the camera always focused on the ex-boyfriend's wrist with that bracelet he was wearing. Did that have any meaning?

I got started late but am all caught up now. Wow, this is the most realistic portrayal of trauma I’ve ever seen in an Asian drama. All of the FL’s behavior and feelings just make sense and the balance between her feelings of duty vs. self-preservation is so well done. Everything hits just right, no overly dramatic psychosis or constant intrusions of toxic family. I hate the villains, but they’re not forcing them down my throat. This drama definitely deserves its high rating so far!

Does anyone know if this drama is dubbed or has actual live audio recording? It sounds like all the actors' real voices.
