I really need the bgm which plays whenever some serious shit about to go down, the one that opens with the violin.

Sort of like an offering, to burn during the prayer/ritual.

It takes a steel like resolve to do what she's doing right now despite all the things she went through though.

I'm going to start watching other dramas by this screenwriter.

With TFJ, I've watched three of her dramas: Love and Destiny, Feud, and TFJ. I deeply resonate with her nuanced writing in all of those shows, so I'll definitely keep a lookout for her future works as well.

Here's a thread about the name of the drama.

In the novel, Mo Jingli is the younger brother of the current Emperor, who in the novel is a grown adult, not a child emperor.

The reveals, the actions, and how MXY truly starts to notice the abnormalities with his wife... what a packed episodes.

My heart break for Ye Li when Qin Shaung appears. It truly is a case of licking one's own wound...

Ep 14-15

I can only say 'Just wow!'. That was too good wtf..

Same experience for me as well.

Later, I thought to myself 'Tang Dynasty women do be crazy with their drip'. After that, I became completely fine with it, no matter how weird-looking it seemed to me. lol

I suppose that's the Ye Li the drama wants to show to the viewers at this stage of the story: you can't help but doubt her at every step because she's such an enigma. So, gotta say it came out pretty well, in both the script and the acting.

GNU and Golden Age Legitimate Fei has different authors.

To be fair, the novel got a very tired trope in the web novel space, so it's not uncommon to come across a similar plot here and there.

Let's say, the current Emperor dies without an heir, to whom the throne will go among the current royal family characters?

I just love how she sit down and lean on his knee whenever she got scolded by MXY. Dude got no counter to that move at all, absolutely baffled and could only relent. 😂😂😂

No mention about it. But what's sure is that out of the characters shown in the drama who are alive so far, if the current Emperor dies, since the Emperor doesn't have a son yet, he's the closest to the throne.

Yes, not the next in line. But has a legitimate claim. Legitimacy is one of the most important considerations in these palace politics.

Good luck with your exam, and binge 4 episodes after. Even better that way. xD

If you like TFJ's quiet storytelling and realism, you may find it not that difficult to get into.

I've rewatched it from top to bottom for like 10+ times easily by now. lol

What you said is a 'what if' scenario in the case the other princes are still alive. If they are all alive, may be things will play out differently. But, they are all dead now.

Based on what the show has shown, from his generation, only he alone survived. So, since he comes from the previous crown prince's line, he's the one with the most legitimate claim to the throne within the current royal family. A perfect banner to rally a coup if he wishes.

oh... I'm not the only one. haha

It was adorable as well.

Please tell me this is AI.

What is the second point even suppose to mean??

Otherwise, no offense, but this is some serious mental gymnastics.
