This drama's traffic is actually still being limited on C-social medias so it having the reach it does right now is impressive.

They are more like distant cousins to each other but still part of the imperial family. The Yans are more direct cousins to each other since their fathers are brothers. The Yue family is really only connected via the Grand Princess.

Yan Li acts the way he does for a reason and because he has to. 😢 You will end up falling for him!

There isn't any in the novel so we will see if the drama follows that.

Yeah, they barely fight and clear up misunderstandings ASAP.

Yup, but still, at least in that moment, Qin Xiang was just a regular girl trying to be saved and was willing to help. In the future though... we will see if they change more things about her from the novel.

That's her personality so hard to change. 😅 But at least during those moments, they were protecting each other.

Very green flag.

Everyone already mentioned the confession scene already, so I have nothing else to add on except it was really well done. They are adorable together and they are trying to hide it but come on now, everyone can see it. 🤭

This drama really does the girls help girls trope well. I really adore Qin Wan's and Yue Ning's relationship. And even if they don't get along with Qin Xiang, they still helped her, and Qin Xiang also rushed to try to get Qin Wan out when she was stuck. Goes to show when lives are in danger, people can put their differences aside.

Qin Shuang is the daughter of Qin An and one of his concubines so yeah, she is not valued as much.

Coughing here and there and Li Landi asked him if he took his afternoon medication. 😢 He also looked really tired towards the end so hopefully he gets to rest sometime soon.

The chasing troupe and livestream today was wow, the shippers are super happy. 😂 And the cast looked beautiful. Poor ARP though, he was sick but not surprising since his filming schedule seems tough these days.

Yes, it was pointed out too that it won't have ended up like this if say prefect Huo actually did his job and tracked down the missing girls. Or that the trafficking ring gets exposed earlier if someone did their job.

Caihe unfortunately did not have the connections nor resources to get revenge in the judicial way for execution (or she never saw that as an option) with all the corruption.

While for Qin Wan, she is trying to clear her father's reputation too and she grew up under his influence so for her, she wants to go through the judicial way. In addition, Qin Wan took a different approach by networking with the powerful people from Grand Princess to Yan Chi so this approach is an actual possibility for her. Qin Wan also has something to live for (her medical/forensic skills) while for Caihe, she didn't have anything else to live for.

It is why C-side said it was a pity for Caihe too. If she met people like Qin Wan or Yan Chi way earlier, she might had been able to get her justice without needing to destroy herself while at it.

I think they did that on purpose because it has a novel, so the spoilers are pretty much out there. It seems like they are focusing on the process of finding evidence against the perpetrator and exploring the person's/people's motives instead. Especially since most of these are crimes of close relations so it isn't hard to guess when there is only a couple of related people that shows up in each case.

Qin Li (2nd) and Qin Shuang (6th) are the children of Qin An and his concubines, so they aren't treated as well as the legitimate children.

Yes!

Adore them. 😊

Yan Chi at Qin Wan: "You speak, I will record".
Yue Ning at Qin Wan: "You will do the speaking; I will do the fighting".

Yan Chi and Yue Ning are cousins for sure hah. 🤭

I enjoy reading comments too! It helps to pick up anything I missed.

So far in the drama, there are side characters in love with FL, but it goes nowhere aka just crushes.
