I'm not on weibo so I wouldn't know. I only know an actor/actress will lose fans after a scandal or something big that hurt their reputation I think they can lose fans from that.

Don't underestimated the both of them, you should watch more to see the bigger picture. Ml to me is nonchalant because he's not ambitious, he only wants to oust the rebels which means he will needs the cuilin army's help. Fl is the daughter of a general but she was raised as a man so her thinking is very like a man getting advantages for her army as well as fighting to bring the country to peace. Both of them will clash because they both have strong feelings and different priorities, but they both want the same thing for the country just they have different ways of seeing how things are done.

I don't think that was the original novel, he was just summarizes how the author usually writes her storyline. But for wol the author written it as happy ending compares to her usual writing style which is typically tragic.

I think this is a very good drama to watch, for those who like romance and strong ml and fl who like to compete with each other in every possible ways ^^

Why do you skip so much, I think the proper way to watch a drama and to enjoy it is to watch every ep and not skipping. This drama is so worth it, I spent a long time watching one ep because I keep repeating the scenes so I don't miss any big moments lol 😆

I'm also looking forward to Abay and his other dramas. I like all the actresses he paired, so I'm sure I like his future one too ^^

Thanks for sharing, this looks interesting and mysterious. Can't wait to find out more about the plot ^^

She was that way when she met him where have you been. He even called her devious and mean, always using trick to win against him. Also you're looking at her as a normal woman being in a relationship with a man, I see her as a commander who happens to be a woman, who won't let herself lose to any man even the man she happens to like. Also they just met, why would you think she would let feeling play into any deals they made, she even try to used his feelings for her to trick him to get the upper hand. Lini falls for cuilin knowing all her tricks and even admire her for it. He tried to return the hairpin so why didn't he. She's a clever woman who wants to test the guy she likes to see what kind of man he's, also she is hiding her identity from him because it's a big secret and her family doesn't want the world to know. Lini wasn't fooled by her and found out anyway.

When was cuilin a damsel in distress, I'll have to find out myself. I agree it was big betrayal by her brother, but she has nothing to do with it, lini blew into a rage and injured her and accused her of planning with the fake cuilin. Should she apologize for something she wasn't even there to witness. Later on he chose to stand on the side and didn't come to help for revenge and her whole army got attacked and her brother died, she was also put in danger, sure if they didn't have feeling for each other she would treat it as normal business, but it's not just anyone but lini who chose to wait it out while she was in danger, why wouldn't she get mad that he chose revenge over her safety. She blew into a rage because she was hurt just like how he did. I see both of them react very strongly because of their feelings for each other. I do see the crown princess and fl are very similar to each other, who would looks at the big picture and do what is necessary for the greater good.

When was she a damsel in distress, she didn't wait for her father to rescue her, but planned with her servant friend to escape. Also she didn't hide her anger for being made a hostage by lini. She said a lot of mean things to lini while she was angry because of grief, most of it are lies that were meant to hurt, but she didn't mean any of it. I think lini being understanding and patience made her able to cope with her grief and guilt over the death of her brother. Also she has already forgiven him, just as he forgiven her for the death of their men that's why they were able to settle their differences.

How did that servant of lcf able to get in and poisoned cuilin. And what was lcf plan for lini if he did come to find cuilin. Isn't it a good think he wasted his effort since he poisoned the girl he loves, and then gave her the cure lol. I kind of understand why cuilin did what she did her reasoning makes sense, even if that child is the crown prince's son his life to her is not as valuable as lini's, to cuilin lini would make a better emperor for the country and the people to be at peace than anyone else. Lcf helping Lini's second brother will spell trouble for lini in the future, that brother is much more cunning than his older brother.

That's true, he also very loyal to his wife, not wanting to have another woman as his second wife.

I didn't see it the same way. One she's thinking for her own army rather than just let her feeling get the better of her. I find she's smart and resourceful, she only met him for a short time and they haven't declared their feelings for each other, so it would be weird for her being raised as a commander to ignore her own responsibility to her army for a boy she just met, so I didn't see her written out of character. She was testing him by lying to him about her identity to see if he would mind it if she was someone else's concubine, and she was also hiding her identity from him, she even said to her friend the guy she like wouldn't be fooled easily. He was smart enough to figure out she wasn't who she said she was, and also trying to sound out her identity by testing the fake cuilin. We can see from their interactions, they both admired each other resources, and are competing to win against the others. But to them getting advantages to their army is the most important, to lini he didn't mind losing out to cuilin's army because he also needed their help to save his father, so in public he let them win, but in private he negotiated to get her to agree to help him save his father so he's not written out of character either.

Later on second ml betrayed lini and his army and he blew into a rage and injured cuilin, she was hurt by him for not trusting her, but she forgave him because she knew he was hurt over his men dying. I think her anger is because he was willing to risk her safety in order to get revenge on her brother. She was in grief and guilt over her brother death so she said many hurtful things to lini, but this is because she was hurting over her brother death and also knowing he was there but didn't come to help her when she was in danger. Not understanding why you think any emotional outburst is fake and superficial, wouldn't you react the same way if the people you care about were hurt by someone close to you. I'm still watching and didn't find that an issue. I actually find both of them have their own thought process and values and it's only because they love each other that's why they're willing to work it out and forgive and understanding each other's pain.

Lini said he wants 8 childrens. He must want a big family to replace his unhappy childhood. His thinking is very modern to not caring his children taking his wife's maiden name. Some guys are old fashioned and wouldn't be that open minded even in this day and age. It shows lini really cares about cuilin and understand her worries, he can be considered as progressive in that time period. Cuilin is so lucky to find such an understanding boyfriend ^^

I think ml was following fl in order to get back the ration that was taken by fl's army. Fl knew ml was following her so she tried to lose him but failed. So they decided to work together after they were hunted by their enemies.

Did you just say chemistry is lukewarm, are we watching the same drama lol ^^

I'm confused why is that guy that follows lcf is so loyal to him, so he's not general cui yi man as I thought but lcf's personal servant. Commander han is so loyal to the crown prince's son, is he death from falling down the cliff, because in cdrama you don't die from falling down a cliff commonly. Also the emperor and his oldest son are so dumb that they're kind of entertaining in a caricature way ^^

I don't have any problems with bailu. I used to like their pairing but ever since her fans keeps attacking his other pairings i don't care for it anymore. Also I like fl centric dramas, what I don't like is love triangle, but it's true his dramas with her she spent more time with sml than him lol, but that's the same with most of his dramas that are fl centric. I'm glad this drama and his last drama are different and fl doesn't spend so much time with sml. I don't understand why in cdramas they just wanted to create conflicts by adding love triangle, at this time I'm so annoyed by it that I would rather watch drama with no romance just so i could get away from love triangle lol.

Finally cuilin get back her name and start to wear female clothes. She looks pretty in her female outfits ^^

Thanks for reminding me of that, you're right I was wondering how did he changed so much from thinking that tribe was his enemy to betraying his family for them. So it could be the medicine he took from that tribe that caused him to go over the edge.

I think she has some good points, I don't always agree with her but she does have some inside knowledge what she talks about when she rants on certain dramas. Xukai doesn't get her love because most of his dramas she doesn't watch or she watches only a few episodes of his drama then dropped like ancient love poetry and court lady. I find it surprising that she has never ranted on any of his dramas so maybe his dramas just not so popular to get such treatment, or his dramas are not bad like some she consider trash. I think she can be entertaining when trashing on a popular dramas that others like but she didn't lol. I also watched Marcus here as well, he's more neutral I agree ^^

So from the beginning, general cui yi has been hiding his daughter not just from the court but also from his own army. That's why when he was poisoned, his army automatically took the fake son as their commander without questions over his real daughter authority. He clearly wants to give the fake cuilin back his own name and announced to the world he's his adopted son. However he hasn't done it yet before he was poisoned, and that fake cuilin wants to use that knowledge to take over his army and force the real cuilin to marry him. That fake cuilin is becoming more delusional, didn't think he was that crazy until now, even poisoned the man he took as his father just so he could marry his daughter. Or poisoned the girl he supposed to love just so he could kill her lover. This guy is even more crazy than any other delusional characters I seen in other dramas that don't know how to give up. To think he couldn't tell the girl he wanted to marry only see him as a brother. It's so satisfying seeing cuilin threatening him with a sword in order to protect lini and didn't believe him when he tried to frame lini for poisoning her father ^^
