I felt like Shangguan Qian was always putting up an act and lying even in the scene where she confesses to Gong Shang Jue and tells him she’s pregnant. It made me think if she ever had feelings for him and wavered from her mission. Because of the acting, it looks like she never loved him for real not even once.

Did anyone of you feel this too? What’s your thought on her feelings for Shang Jue?

I felt this too. Everything she does seems fake, I mean it’s obvious that she’s acting. I felt this in her romantic scenes with 2nd ML too. It’s like she’s never showing her true emotions. I felt like she was just lying to him, till the very last ep although that’s her mission

spoiler: Sad ending

Both male and female lead die in each other's arms. The female lead was pregnant while dying. She didn’t even give birth. It’s a sad ending implying you can’t change the fate. At least they spent their last moments together

found this article about him. People are criticizing his acting skills, makeup, and what not. He’s quite popular as a mini drama lead but these criticisms hold him from getting lead roles in full length dramas :/

it was a cute sibling rivalry. a villain brother who’s fighting for the throne but with a sweet twist 🥰

The subtitles aren’t very grammatical accurate. He meant ‘why don’t you hold on to that thought’. He implies that he likes her so her guess is not wrong. So, she can keep thinking he likes her.

In US, its 4 years of bachelor + 4 years of Graduate Med School (MD) + Clinical rotations + 3 to 8 years of residency depending on specialization.

In China, its 5 years of BM (Bachelors of Medicine) + 3 years of MD + 3 to 8 years of residency depending on specialization (OR) some do it as 8 years MD with years of clinical rotations. Taking 11-12 years to become a specialist is common in many countries but its different when it comes to cardiac surgery. It takes a minimum of 16 years to become a cardiac surgeon.

If ML entered college at 18 years of age, he would be 18+16, at least 34 now. Someone mentioned that in the novel, ML's a genius who skipped grades and entered college early. Lets say he was 14/ 15 when he entered college (the youngest person to get into med school in China was 13/ 14 and is famous, if ML is not that famous, then he's likely not the youngest to enter). Still, he needs to be at least 30 if he's cardiac surgery. He's 29, ig the math matches a bit but its still kinda ridiculous if you get what i mean lol. they just wanna show the ML as a flawless genius excelling in whatever he does. that's what I tried to mean hahaha

But I like the show tho, the couple are so cute 💓

the cut scenes aren't very apparent when you watch the series so dont worry! consider the cut scenes like bonus scenes, thats how i saw it lol. it was a good series!

After watching this, i really wish they were a couple in the series!! they would have been a beautiful match

I just replied to another comment similar to yours so i copy pasted it here too lol 😁

Xiao Duo from Unchained Love comes to my mind when I think about a male lead similar to Xie Wei ❤️Dylan Wang plays that and did so much justice to the character, everyone was obsessed with his looks and mannerisms omgg ❤️‍🔥 you should def give it a try!! the actress is Yuqi Chen and she was amazing too! a few of the steamy scenes didn't pass the censorship but is available online as clips if you dig deep lol and there are two alternative happy ending clips too!!

Also, Dongfang Qingcang from Love between Fairy and Devil if you haven't watched that already lol

Till the End of the Moon's Tan Tai Jin omgg ❤️‍🔥he's a pitiful character like Xie Wei but damn i love him

this is a good analysis of ruyi's character. thank you!

he's intrigued by her and is attracted to her too, there's no denying that. I just felt uncomfortable seeing her control him with that pill and all that just bc he said no. You can be attracted to someone and still disagree to sleep with them for whatever reason. idk she seducing him was okay but fighting with him to agree crossed the line. thats how i felt. i really didn't wanna say this but if the genders were reversed and the male lead gave that pill to the female lead and forced her to have a baby with him, no strings attached, i wonder how many people would be okay with that :/ that's how i thought about this at first.

After @eternalsummer 's character analysis comment, i looked back and tried to justify her actions. idk i might continue watching

I feel like yea but im glad its Ning Shisan instead of Ren Shisan, that affirms the fact that the leads will end up together (HE)

4+4 in the US is equal to 5+3 in China. Both are 8 years but as you said, ig we just need to accept that he's this flawless character lol i shouldn't be surprised, don't we usually get 22-year-old CEOs 😂 but yea, I love his personality tho. It's warm and cute. He gets straight to the point and takes initiative without overthinking his feelings and making it complicated lol. the early stages of their relationship development is simple and beautiful 💓

I’m in ep 5/6 and I liked the drama till the scene where FL tries to force herself on the ML and kisses him without consent in the next ep. I like surprise kisses only when both the parties clearly like each other. Here, they’re still just getting to know each other.

Idk why the late empress just wanted her to have a child but that doesn’t justify FL’s actions. It feels like sexual harassment to me and the fact that it’s not being taken seriously even by ML’s friends makes me feel sad. This is my bottom line.

I kinda like the drama but these scenes are ruining it for me. Can anyone explain or justify FL’s actions? What happens next? I just don’t want the FL to seduce him against his will anymore

It’s a cute slow burn series but I love how they’re into each other right from the start💗

I just have a question. I haven’t read the novel so I don’t know what ML’s age is. FL is a senior in college so prolly 21/ 22 but ML said he’s in cardiac surgery (he said this in ep 7 ig). It takes 4 years of bachelors, 4 years of med school, 5 years in general surgery, and 2-3 years in cardiac surgery to become a cardiac surgeon in china. So, it will sound ridiculous if he’s still under 30. Is the age gap too much or is he not in cardiac surgery?? but still, being a specialized doctor under 30 and a famous voice artist, idk. If he’s still in his residency or smth why isn’t he studying lol

Forever Love (2020): Genius programmer ML with smart and independent FL. Healthy relationship. Very similar to Lighter & Princess leads relationship but a different story ofc

Fall in Love (2021): Same actress from Lighter & Princess as FL. Amazing chemistry and a good story. They're a team and are very strategic as a couple.

dude honestly whats the difference between those toxic fans and you? can't you just enjoy xu kai's achievements and dramas without throwing shade on bai lu?! if some of bai lu's fans do it, do you have to stoop so low too? You're a xu kai's fan but you seem to be more into fanwars. i dont see a difference.

it is a thing between the fans. bai lu fans were worried xu kai's scandal with his ex gf would affect her reputation and their dramas since its bai lu's combined efforts too while xu kai's fans get angry at bai lu's fans for throwing shade at xu kai thus hyping up bai lu. its just bullshit fanwars. these fanwars and throwing shade seems to exist in here too.

if you see, cheng yi and yuan bingyan fans argue with each other, xu kai and bai lu's fans argue with each other. its been going on for a while now, these fans are like defensive keyboard warriors. if only they can enjoy a drama without throwing shade on actors/ actresses who they aren't a fan of
