I see, thanks!!

At least there is one good seeling in the Luo family you guys, the ML!! >< The only proper Luo man of the fam who i guess takes after the grandpa lol

Thanks for the details >< Do you think they will keep the same plot in the drama? Is the duke and his men the bandits that maid was talking about?

idk personally i was thinking the grandma...But the 1st son's wife makes more sense i guess

Yes both the ML and the other son are concubine born...However the ML was born after his father got drank by mistake when bedding with a maid (ML's mother) which became a stain for him after sobering up...While his other son was born by his favored concubine who he loved and cherished and he spend efforts raising him personally... Also now that the ML will start to show his true talent i fear his father will grow even colder maybe out of inferiority complex? we will see...

The duke was under the influence and drank some sort of aphrodisiac that led to him forcing himself (?) wasn't made that clear on yining's mother....it was an one night stand of sort, on ancient times....Her mother was already living seperately on the side hall since she was on bad terms with her husband (and only came back to the main house after confirming her pregnancy)
Idk the details about how the duke got to be there tho...or where exactly they happened to meet with eo....(the novel spoiler wasn't detailed enough><)

oh i see ><

Whoaa that was off haha...I see....I was not excpecting that! Interesting...Thanks!

About her mother's poisoning...I do believe her father is innocent but someone else has caught my attention as a suspect...(theory below)

I agree with yours as well >< We basically share similar points ^^

Very much worth it! One of the best of its genre! As long as you know what u looking for ><

Btw something that has come to my attention...Has any of you noticed that the ML used to call her seventh sister at first, but after ep 8-9, he started calling her Yining!!!??? >< It's such a subtle change but I would still praise the script writer for it ><

I don't think so...Personally, I think it's the other way around. She is mistakenly trying to suppress her feelings/be oblivious about them under "brother-sister" relationship. She and he grew up separately and only got to meet each other as teens, and what drew them to get close was their similar situation (of being shunned by their father tho FL still had the grandma) and as a way to help each other survive in the luo household...Also, Ning has started to show some changes since ep 11-12 basically, ever since they have started to truly open up to one another and I believe right now she is mistaking her feelings and "covering" them unconsciously under the "cherished brother zone" tag. Idk I think they are doing pretty well with the script and the shift will work out ><

About point 4. since reicarbation topic is currently banned on cdrama i suppose the flashbacks/dreams she saw in the series could be actual memories from her current life as Ning from the time she was leaving in the countryside (as minor change from the novel...)

According to novel spoilers i have found:
1. Luo Yi Ning is not related to the Luo family! Her bio father is a duke(in the novel) and on ep 8 of drama they mentioned her mother was abducted from bandits and got pregnant (maybe changed the plot a bit but still not related to luo family)

2. Idk who killed her mother still...But I bet it would be somehow involved with the luo family...

3. Yes Luo Shen Yuan is really related to the luo family!

4. In the novel the FL is currently living her 2nd life as Ning! On her 1st life she was related to Lu Jia Xue but was betrayed by him (or so she believes?) and died a tragic death...So now that she got back on time and on Ning's body she is getting those dreams/flashbacks of their time spent together in the past....And he has also started to notice some similarities between the 2...He seems to be obsessed with her past self....still searching for her after years...

With that being said....I don't hate the actor playing the 2nd ml tho...If anything he is doing too nice of a job being the villain lol

The 2nd ML keeps giving me the ick whenever he shows up!! In the last few episodes, all I can feel for him is a great feeling of uneasiness and disgust. He is such a walking red flag. I really wish we would see less of him, even though I know he is essential to the plot. Ugh.
That aside, today's ep has to be the sweetest after ep11!! I am so excited for their budding romance that's about to blossom!! I just know in the next few eps the truth will be fully out ><

Because begining is like The double, Story of Minglan and a whole another bunch of cnovels...Loving grandmother, stupid father with a framing concubine by his side...

Oh you might be right...I don't check them often while the shows are airing but I looked at a recent cdrama (like 2-3 months ago) I watched this year and they had 20-30k watchers on MLD which made me a bit anxious...But ofc this is still airing so it definitely has the potential to reach these numbers by completion and since u say that the results are actually better than average I am releived! ^^

Omg thank you! >< I did check some rankings on Twitter and it showed the drama at 1 or 2 but since I don't know the significance of these ranking or couldn't translate some I was left guessing... I am glad that it's gaining attention locally since the international responce seems to be mid....Even tho personally I have been enjoying it so far~^^
