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.
Everything you find stupid in this drama was not in the novel. Both leads were logical, practical and smart in…
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.
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.
It's a sick world when serious concerns like p3dophilia are dismissed so nonchalantly for the sake of entertainment.…
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.

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