Cesia_07

Taohua will never commit suicide bcos she wants to save her brother and makes him the emperor. That's why she seeks help from Zaiye and Wuxia.

She helps Zaiye to eliminate his concubines and his political enemies. She admits she is not a good person, but she doesn't need to be ruthless like Zaiye. She just needs to outsmart him. She will use any methods and person to help her survive. She cares for her face and live most, so she gets easily scared, she just endures it.

Tbh Taohua loves and cares for her brother more than she loves Zaiye. She can leave him if he clashes with her interest.

Drama nowadays use makeup that is close to the ancient makeup: heavy on the eyes and lips. If you watched other dramas, you should know it well.

He has fallen for her, but since he is a tsundere, he won't admit it. Just wait until she leaves him.

On ep 12 Zaiye will finally orders Zhan Lu to investigate Taohua's past.

He is ambitious and eager for the throne. He just waits for the crown prince to fall.

Yes, he works for the 4th prince, Wuxia.

Wuxia is perfect person to be an emperor. Wuxia does NOT hate the ML, he hates his methods. ML is ruthless and belittles human lives, even though they are bad guys. While ML keeps treating Wuxia as a kid.

So Wuxia doesn't trust ML and goes on his way

Taohua notices this, so she treats Wuxia like her own brother. This is why they develop deep bonds. Wuxia trusts her more than he trusts Zaiye.

In the novel, there are 6 men who like Taohua in different level. Zaiye, Taohua's master (Qian Baimei) and Wuyin all deeply love Taohua. Wuxia likes her as sister and the only woman he likes. Taohua also has childhood sweetheart who betrayed her. While Zaiye's best friend secretly likes Taohua as well, but gives up later.

The drama has this so called Taohua's master, but he works for Empress Lu! 😡 While the other 2 men were erased and the character's relationships also changed (based on the characters chart).

Well, Prince Wugou is evil and Zaiye quickly eliminated him. Prince Wuyin (3rd prince) is ambitious and he killed Prince Wuhen. Wuyin then becomes the crown prince.

Meng Zhenzhen is the first concubine that Zaiye eliminated thanks to Taohua. Her Meng family also fell.

The drama and the novel are like 2 different stories.

Meng Zhenzhen might ally with Prince Wuyin after Wugou fails. Taohua will also ally with Wuyin, but as a spy. She and Zaiye support Wuxia for the throne.

Mu Wuxia and FL are like siblings, they care for e/o a lot. And for him Taohua is the only woman he likes and trusts. He gains confidence and courage bcos of her.

Wuyin in the novel deeply loves Taohua and becomes Zaiye's first love rival. Wuyin even plans to make Taohua his empress.

However the drama is completely different from the novel. Wuxia gets a girl, while Wuyin will be Taohua's enemy.

Idk who did the subbing, but they mixed up the names! The prince they have been talking about is the CROWN PRINCE, NOT CHANGJUE. Changjue is Taohua's brother. The subber doesn't know who is who so they wrote Changjue's name when the characters meant is the evil crown prince 💢

Jiang Taohua had been living in hell even though she is a princess. She and her brother were treated like servants after Lady Lu became the empress. They even lived with the servants next to palace walls. The emperor doesn't care about her and her brother even though they are his children.

Bcos empress Lu is evil, she keeps trying to harm Taohua and her brother. This is where Taohua developed a habit of gritting her teeth when she is unconscious. She will spit out anything that enters her mouth, even if it is just water. Zaiye was dumbfounded when he knew this. He even has a hard time trying to feed her meds.

The author of the novel describes this:
ML has a 100 ways to kill FL. FL has 101 way to save herself. ML is scheming, but FL can always outsmart him. That's why ML said he have met his match.

If they follow the novel, ML fell in love at first sight, but he is a tsundere so he keeps denying and refuses to admit until the very end. He has never been in love so he doesn't understand his own feelings. Moreover, he is suspicious by nature. I described their relationship as frenemies.

Have you finished reading it? it is so good that I reread it 3 times back then 👍🏻 that's why I feel disappointed the novel characters are not in the drama.

Just the key points. Up until ep 8, they changed a lot of things. They erased a lot of novel characters and added a bunch of original characters. With this, perhaps about 70-80% difference from the novel.

No. It is adapted from a novel. You can read it here:

A reminder: the novel and drama are about 80% different. They erased a lot of changes and added a bunch of original characters. They also changed the character's relationships.

Anyway, the novel is HE, although she has to go through a lot...

Prince Jing (Mu Wuyin) and Prince Nan (Mu Wuxia).

The novel, their first meeting also involved wolves. The wolves are controlled by wolf tamer. It is Shen Zaiye's plan to trap Taohua and Prince Jing (3rd prince). The drama writer changed it by making Shen Zaiye innocent though. They also changed the rap3 scene into "being discovered before anything happens".

In the novel, FL wants to help her brother become the emperor of Zhao. To do that, she needs the help of ML. ML's real master is Wuxia (4th prince) and his plans is to make Wuxia the emperor of Wei. FL likes Wuxia, they developed siblings kind of relationship. So she willingly helps both of them.

With FL's help, his plans go smoothly. So this is a win-win cooperation.

However, though ML wants to help FL and her brother, he plans to make Zhao under Wei's rule. FL notices this, so she runs back to Zhao and fights against ML.

After this and that, the world then become peaceful with the couple live HEA.

Remember that this is from the novel.

I was so delighted it went to 8.2, but less than an hour later it became 8.0. Trolls are working hard, just like those defenders of the land stealers.
