I'm worried about that too, especially because the director’s last drama Blossom had the same issue. They started…
Blossom and Zhu Yu's circumstances are a bit different. Blossom's source material is a massive 523 chapters novel, and the drama is only 34 episodes. A lot of stuffs didn't made it to the drama, and even the main plot had to be condensed a lot.
Zhu Yu's source material is only 180 chapters even counting the side stories, and the drama is 40 episodes. So, they have more room there for the adaptation. So, I'll stay positive for the time being.
A part of me really feels respect towards the FL for keeping her tongue in check for so long before finally lashing…
Army provision is a chicken and egg issue imo. If it's at a really critical area, if the ones guarding are not sufficient, none of the common ppl in that area will live well should the border be breached. So, it's choosing the lesser of the evil for the common people.
On the flip side, we've seen plots who profited out of this situation as well. lol
Loved the Gongsun Yin and Princess story in the novel. Drama portrayed it beautifully as well. Thank you writer for putting in stuffs from the side stories. ❤️
After seeing your comment, hopped on to X and saw a post that says "After Pursuit of Jade becomes a hit, ZLH's manager and TXW's manager should kiss" has climbed to No.3 hot search. If this is real, it's freaking hilarious lol.
I love the script explore their affection gradually without effecting the essence of novel. It is really good…
My words exactly. The scene where Fang Changyu cried because she thought he left without saying goodbye, that was a milestone in their relationship imo. All of these are quietly progressing. Love all the script, directing, and acting for the romance part.
Im so confuse, i dont know who are allies with the ML, Prime Minister Wei sometimes looks like an enemy, but he…
The political landscape and interpersonal relationships in this story (at least based on the novel) are a bit complicated, and can't be explained without spoiling. Drama will reveal it as the story progress. For now, just note Wei Faction and Li Faction are against each other.

He Jing Yuan's alignment is still unknown at this point. But, it was mentioned that he is protecting the Fan sisters.
Prime Minister Wei and Grand Tutor Li are against each other.
There are a few more individuals and factions aside from the above 2 as well. Some characters are grey characters.
To sum it up, only ML and FL gang is the good one. lol
To summarize without spoiling, the factions and power struggles are a bit complicated in the novel.
