It is from In Blossom I believe. I remember that scene.

In the novel only Changjue died bcos Lv poisoned him and Taohua didn't know it 😭😭😭

So apparently the PH has some issues so they can't promote this drama offline 😭

However being an A level project, TPG broadcast impact exceeded its investment and achieved an S level effect 👏👏👏

Her poison swallows every other poison. Lv said that people who has this poison is almost impossible to get pregnant, but she gets pregnant anyway. Her poison is then transferred to her daughter. A baby shares her mother's blood and nutrition, so she absorbed the poison as well. Mind you women can give birth, but men... ☠

He chases her all the way and they both get attacked. So they finally work together to kill Lv. This will lead to war between 2 countries.

Those women are sent by their families as spy planted on his mansion. He is the most powerful official and has a lot of political enemies. ML knew about this and only accepted them, but never pays attention to them. Mind you, ML looks down on women and sees them as pawns.

Just a reminder: douban is full of passersby and haters. People like idol haters will vote down a drama. While passersby who don't know idol actors will vote genuinely. Haters will just down vote to make their idol's competitor drama to look bad.

Here, there are only 11k voters. This votes mainly from passersby. Fans of the actors mainly focus on weibo or douyin to raise the popularity.

If a bad drama gets high score, means the haters don't work to down vote it. If a good drama gets low score, mostly bcos haters work hard.

I bet the screenwriters had problems with the FL. they made her character became so weak and helpless, unlike in the novel where she has everyone on her palms. She is so smart that Empress Lv and her daughter are wary of FL and hope FL will die in Qi.

Tie her to that cliff and let her getting washed away by the stream for days until her body bloated and can't be recognized.

Not just you. People have been loving this cp for their chemistry, esp in china. These two are so adorable and natural off screen as well. Meng Ziyi tends to reunite with her costars, so I hope she will reunite with Liu Xueyi with a sane screenwriter and good script.

It is common to have more than 1 screenwriter bcos one person can't handle everything alone. He can't be at different places at once bcos one day the crew shoot different scenes, in different places with different actors. That's why they also have assistant directors.

There is main screenwriter, but his assistants will be responsible for several episodes or giving advices for the plot.

Others have mentioned about a screenwriter getting kicked out. It happens sometimes.

So true! Agree!!! Idk what happened to this drama. Even though I already threw away my expectations (I have read the novel) before the drama airs, I didn't expect it would be like this. They basically created a new story and characters. Also it feels like there are 10 different scriptwriters, each one wrote 3-4 episodes and just threw every kind of cliche. The strong and scheming FL who has everyone on her palms suddenly changed into a weak and helpless girl 😡

Wuxia: martial arts, pugilist world, wanderers, heroes, sects.
Example: The Blood of Youth, Dashing Youth, Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre, Heroes (2022), The Legend of Heroes, Sword Snow Stride, Love and Sword.

Xianxia: immortals, heaven, gods, demons, supernatural, spiritual magic, reincarnation.
Example: The Starry Love, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, The Legend of Shen Li, A Moment But Forever, Love Between Fairy and Devil, Moonlight Mystique, Immortal Samsara.

Xuanhuan: similar to xianxia, but it has mythological beasts like mermaids and sometimes it also involves politics.
Example: Novoland Pearl Eclipse, The Blue Whisper, Snow Eagle Lord.

Hope that helps.

True love:

Zaiye-Taohua : they love and care for e/o.

Wuyin-Lv: foolish obsession, mommy complex? Child grooming?

Finally he realizes the form of two people who love e/o. He spent a decade and gained ...?

Well it is very common in cdrama: let the blood dry on your face, don't wipe it 🤣

Tbh if Zaiye gives up on her, he would be safe. She doesn't need to be the bait to hurt him for the Nth time. That ruthless Shen Zaiye has a visible weakness, so of course his enemies will use it.

From ep 29 they start to work together again.

I don't agree nor disagree. I just want to explain.

First, women in ancient times care so much about face and reputation. Some even make a fuss over their hair getting cut. So when Taohua made a scene of committing suicide it is just a very common reaction any woman would do.

In this case, she was betrothed to a prince, yet she was "caught in a scandal" with a chancellor in a brothel. But anyway, in the novel he indeed raped her. In the drama, well, perhaps bcos "only the dead can't speak" so he tried to kill her, especially when she said she is Beiyuan princess. While she tried to stab him bcos she is a princess, suddenly woke up in a brothel and a man entered...

The novel author made a summary like this:
Shen Zaiye has 100 ways to kill her, but Jiang Taohua has 101 ways to save herself.
That shows she IS smarter than him. Every time he tries to kill her, she makes a plan to save herself. Although both are scheming, but he is a man and she is a woman. They see from different perspectives and they handle things differently. She can do what he can't and vice versa. They compliment e/o.

So for you it is forgivable and acceptable when he tried to kill her countless times? Or when he strangled her?

She forced him to marry her, but she never seduce him nor try to gain his love. He was attracted to her brain and courage, which he admitted he has found a match.

Why did she ask to join hands? She wants to survive. He kept wanting to kill her, using her as a tool. So she needed to prove she is more useful alive than dead.

Why did she not tell him her secrets? Bcos her brother is on Lv's hands. Taohua knows what Zaiye is capable of. Once Zaiye takes action, her brother pays the consequences. She also knows their target is Zaiye and she is the bait to get him.

Why is she keep refusing him? They are enemies by countries. They serve different masters. Zaiye said it himself "If only you are not Beiyuan princess..." Taohua sees the bigger pictures: they have a lot to deal and there is no time to indulge in love. If they are a normal couple, there won't be any problems.

The new schedule is so... They deliberately leave us in suspense by concealing the last 6 episodes on the calendar 😈
