For those wondering about ML pointedly calling FL A-Li, it also could be a reference to a story of the "Crown Prince being replaced by a cat" which is what FL is doing by taking on JL's identity. Her jade pendant is also shaped like a cat and it's in the OP credits.

The actresses playing the villains in this drama are so good. They're having fun with the role😂

There is romance but it's slow burn.

Lol! I'm aware what life was like for women in the past. It doesn't excuse all these jealous women acting like this just to add some melodrama and angst to the plot.

As for the homicidal part, I didn't mean the male lead.

Nevermind, if people like the drama then that's their choice.

I'm watching the drama so will judge it on its basis. Many people won't or can't read the novel .

The fact is this drama is too long. 10 eps can be easily cut.

Wu Jinyan's acting deserves praise. She can pull off the various microexpressions needed for each scene. Her Monalisa-like smile in some scenes is particularly chilling because one isn't quite sure what she's conveying. Like that popular line in Chinese novels: "a smile that is not a smile".

I'm looking forward to her other costume drama now.

But she's really good at it😂

That's too bad. I was hoping end of this year.

Any news on when it will air?

I'm impressed by Wu Jinyan's acting. Everytime she faces off against WXY, the sparks fly. Sparks as in two swords clashing😂

At least Jiang Rui is the same as in the nove aka very annoying mouth😂

Oh! Screenwriter is the one who worked on Scent of Time. That makes it more promising.

Wow. Gorgeous cinematography. Opening scenes shot like a horror movie.

Sure. You do what works for you.

I ended up watching it on youtube with a paid subscription to a channel.

Cast looks good at least.

Any news on this?

Love the way Rong Rong's eyes sort of sparkle whenever money is mentioned😂

I think this is the prettiest Zhu Xu Dan has been in a drama. They did great a job with her makeup and clothing.

I could say many things in response but your comment is so overblown that it's useless. At the very least you don't seem to have understood the plot or the genre.
