let's say 2 officials and 2 optionals.the hot MLthe gentle SLand we can exclude the cheating ex husband and hyper…
Ji Yong is deeply in love with Dou Zhao. It's just that no one knows about it, not even Dou Zhao. Even in the novel, he didn't realize he loves her until his grandpa asked him. The reason why he is so impulsive and rude is bcos he likes to argue with her and wants her attention. When she married Song Mo, Ji Yong was so upset. That is why he and Song Mo are always at odd.
Dong Qi made his appearance! He is jealous of Song Mo and they aren't friends, but not enemies either.
Princess Shude, I guess a replacement of Princess Ningde. Princess Ningde is related to Song family by marriage. She and the whole Lu family support Song Mo and despise Song Yichun 👍🏻But I find it annoying they had to make a loveline between Princess Shude with Dou Shishu 😑 if this will lead to good, then be it.
Why everyone has like two names? It's so confusing.
In the drama you will notice the men have 2 names: birth name and courtesy name. Courtesy name is an additional name bestowed upon individuals at adulthood, complementing their given name. It is a marker of adulthood and were historically given to men at the age of 20, and sometimes to women upon marriage.
Song Mo, courtesy name: Yan Tang. Ji Yong, courtesy name: Ji Jianming. Wu Shan, courtesy name: De Zhen. Wei Tingyu, courtesy name: Pei Jin. And so on.
When a man gets his courtesy name, people will call him with it, not his birth name, bcos it will be considered rude. However, there are rare case, for example Dou Zhao still calls Ji Yong by his name, and he doesn't mind.
Who is Wu Shan again? that sickly boy who was in love with Dou Zhao? Wait, that's De Zhen... or is that his second…

WU SHAAAAAANNNN!!! MY BAOBEI!!!! My fave boy from Dou Zhao's harem!!!! He is a man as gentle as jade, with heart as vast as the ocean, he comes like spring season, pure, untainted. So pleased he got more exposure in the drama. This boy will forever be in my soft spot ❤
Finally, the swapping marriage (arranged by Dou Zhao) is happening! Of course, Ji Yong has to be Ji Yong, running around hurting people, almost ruining her plan. The reason why they always argue 🙄
Based on the novel. It will be shocking.SPOILERS!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!The previous Duke Ying forced Song…
Tbh Song family is really evil and the lowest dirt! Every one of them except Song Mo is useless and can only bark. That's why Song Mo is really close to Dou family. He regards Dou Shiying as his own father. Song Mo also got close with the male cousins as they often help e/o, even Dou Shishu is like his own uncle. He often gives advices to Song Mo and asks him to be careful regarding royal family matters.
Just want to ask for the novel reader, did in the novel DZ has tried harder to save Madam Jiang..because I just…
Dou Zhao knew his mother would die, but she didn't remember exactly when until her subordinates told her about some changes in Duke Ying mansion. She realized Madam Jiang has passed away and Song Mo is in danger. So she sent her subordinates to save him.
Tbh Dou Zhao did NOT know how Madam Jiang died. She only knew Madam Jiang would die. Turns out she had been poisoned all along by her husband and Song Han. That's why her health kept worsened. Her last moment was she had an argument with Song Yichun. She vomited blood, then Song Yichun suffocated her with pillow/blanket.
i dont get it why is his father doing all this????
Song Mo has been excellent literary and military, he is fast in learning, smart, outstanding child. He is greatly favored by the emperor. His uncles helped raised and trained him. Even the previous Duke Ying was going to pass his title to Song Mo bcos he knew Song Yichun is incompetent, idiot, useless, evil.
Bcos Song Mo is so brilliant and better than him, Song Yichun is scared and jealous. He cares more about his reputation and title than his son. He wants to get rid of Song Mo, but he couldn't bcos of Madam Jiang. He wants Song Han to inherit his title bcos he can be controlled, unlike Song Mo.
After watching the recent trailer, it seems to me tha miao ansu will be paired/get married to ML younger brother…
Song Han is the exact copy of Song Yichun 😡
Miao Ansu and Song Han will get married, but by arrangement. In the novel they hate e/o. Miao Ansu chooses to side with Dou Zhao and stays away from the Song family feud. Idk if the drama will change though.
Based on the novel. It will be shocking.SPOILERS!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!The previous Duke Ying forced Song…
They are able to save Song Mo's sister and she lives in his mansion as his cousin. He asks Jiang family relatives to acknowledge her and they support Song Mo.
In the first lifetime, the death of Madam Jiang and his sister was the reason why Song Mo killed Song Yichun and Song Han.
In this lifetime, bcos of Dou Zhao, he doesn't kill them and let their relatives to see how rotten those two. In the end those two received their punishments 👍🏻
I wrote about Jiang Yan on the reply to Duo_Duo above if you want to read. Long spoilers.
Based on the novel. It will be shocking.SPOILERS!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!The previous Duke Ying forced Song…
Song Yichun had a mistress and she was pregnant with Song Han. At the same time, Madam Jiang also pregnant with her second child. Due to Song Yichun's scheme, he drugged his mistress to give birth at the exact same time with Madam Jiang and swapped their children. His mistress gave birth to Song Han prematurely which caused him to be dumb, untalented, slow in study.
Madam Jiang gave birth to a daughter, later named Jiang Yan. She was raised by the mistress and got abused every day. Song Han found out about this when he was 11 y.o (in the novel).
Thanks to Dou Zhao, they found out about Jiang Yan. Song Mo immediately sent Chen Jia to find her. She was sold and married a man, who then sold her to another man and was raped.
The mistress found Song Han and confessed she is his mother. Out of fear, Song Han sent his man to kill her.
Jiang Yan then lives in Song Mo's place as his cousin. He brings Jiang family relatives to acknowledge Jiang Yan and they support Song Mo. Jiang Yan and Chen Jia got married.
In the first lifetime, Jiang Yan died bcos Song Mo found her too late. The death of both women made Song Mo killed Song Yichun and Song Han.
And of course Dou Zhao and Song Mo got married. They have a son and she is pregnant with their second child by the end of the novel.
Based on the novel. It will be shocking.SPOILERS!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!The previous Duke Ying forced Song…
Ji Yong was a monk in the first lifetime which shocked Dou Zhao as she couldn't guess why he became one. Ji Yong is obsessed with confucianism. In this lifetime, he became ambitious bcos Dou Zhao mocked him to aim higher. He then aims to be the prime minister and ends up working under the crown prince.
