In the novel, there are 3 kingdoms: Zhao, Wei, Wu. Zhao is where Taohua came from. Wei is the strongest country and where the story takes place.
Wuxia is the Wei prince who became a hostage in Wu kingdom. He returned to Wei around the same time with Zaiye arrived in Wei.
Truth is: Wuxia is NOT Wei prince, but Wu prince who replaced the real Wei prince hostage who died young. Zaiye saw his quality and vowed to make him the emperor of Wei.
Thus they embarked on journey to Wei and slowly strengthen their positions. Zaiye is scheming and manipulative. He eliminates 2 princes and kills the emperor. Therefore only the 4th prince can be the emperor.
His plan would not be smooth if not bcos Taohua helps Zaiye. Bcos Taohua already knew early on they are from Wu and the actual master and servant.
Just out of curiosity, other than the CP how many people are gunning for this throne? Because we are like not…
The 3rd prince, Wuyin is eager for the throne. he is just waiting for the crown prince to fall. Wuxia doesn't want to be the emperor, but Zaiye works for Wuxia and already told his plan to make Wuxia the emperor. So Taohua will help Zaiye to make Wuxia get the throne.
So it seems like ML is related to 4th prince? And drama is setting up ML’s sister with 4th prince as a couple?
What matters most is Shen Zaiye works for the 4th prince, not the emperor. But the 4th prince hates Shen Zaiye's cruel method. He only trusts Taohua. Only she can be the mediator.
Btw back then even the blood related cousins can get married, yk...
Taohua will never commit suicide bcos she wants to save her brother and makes him the emperor. That's why she…
I wrote based on the novel. Even Zaiye admits the person she cares the most is her brother. She doesn't think twice about leaving Zaiye and chooses her brother. Zaiye becomes furious, but he doesn't blame her.
I think she got a decent amount of filler. Her pouting lips looked unnatural.Nowadays it s rare to see C actress…
Her lips are natural. Her MUA uses blurry lip lines or overline lip method to make her lips look plumper. Check her close up pictures then you will see the overline. There are pictures of her lips when she doesn't wear lipstick. Her lips are exactly the same with her teenage years. It's just the power of makeup. She doesn't always use overline lip makeup though.
I want to watch it but ML having a wife and concubines is a turn off for me. can anyone explain, will there be…
The harem is not the focus here. Those women were offered to him. They work as spies bcos ML is the most powerful official in the kingdom. He doesn't care about those women and never touches them. Those women also don't fight for his love. He will eliminate them with the help of FL.
Meng Zi Yi's lips are natural or not? Her lips are distracting..

She doesn't always use this overline lip makeup though.
Episode 8: Okay, this is definitely a more nit picky thing, and I feel a little bad complaining about it because…
You know it is best not to question logic in cdrama. The easiest example: a character falls of a cliff and he is perfectly fine and alive, just a few scratches. Another example, poison or meds takes effect 3 seconds after consuming it.
I love this drama so far, but I do have one gripe: I wish Jiang Taohua was a more complicated character. Hopefully,…
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.
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…
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.
Wuxia is the Wei prince who became a hostage in Wu kingdom. He returned to Wei around the same time with Zaiye arrived in Wei.
Truth is: Wuxia is NOT Wei prince, but Wu prince who replaced the real Wei prince hostage who died young. Zaiye saw his quality and vowed to make him the emperor of Wei.
Thus they embarked on journey to Wei and slowly strengthen their positions. Zaiye is scheming and manipulative. He eliminates 2 princes and kills the emperor. Therefore only the 4th prince can be the emperor.
His plan would not be smooth if not bcos Taohua helps Zaiye. Bcos Taohua already knew early on they are from Wu and the actual master and servant.
