A lot of people are sympathizing with 5th Prince chang Qing, you need to understand it was in the novel as well in the show as well the Crown Prince still confirmed it but his wife did not want to marry him but she has no choice but obviously has so she had to marry him he loved her okay but she did not owe him to love him back to do not want that marriage she was not happy in marriage and that marriage actually led to her whole family executed.
I seriously hate this grandfather. The female lead is standing right in front of him, completely devastated after everything that happened with Lu Lixiao, and all he can talk about is how much they "invested" in him. The way he speaks doesn't even sound like he's talking about his grandson—it sounds like he's talking about a business investment.
The irony is insane because it's his family that ruined Lu Lixiao's life in the first place. They refused to let his mother leave that marriage, and she ended up taking her own life. Since then, Lu Lixiao has just been existing, never truly happy until Zhou Wan came into his life. Whatever her intentions were at first is a separate issue, but she was the first person who made him genuinely happy again.
And don't even get me started on how they treat him now. Yes, the grandfather did visit him in the hospital, but that's it. Lu Lixiao was literally stabbed. In a normal family, someone would stay by his side and take care of him. I can excuse the grandfather because of his age, but where was everyone else? His aunt? The rest of the family? Instead, it was the housekeeper and Zhou Wan who were there for him.
That's when it really hit me—this isn't a family, it's a business empire. Everything is a transaction. Everything is about obligations, investments, and business deals. No wonder Lu Lixiao grew up feeling so alone. The father isn't even worth my attention, but this grandfather? I can't stand him.
so lu xixiao's mother is a mistress who cheated with his father and broke his family which is jiang yan and his…
What always bothered me is that Jiang Yan directs most of his anger at Lu Xixiao and his mother, calling them outsiders, when neither of them created the situation. Lu Xixiao's mother entered an arranged marriage and was never the one hiding a second relationship.
If anyone deserves the blame, it's the father. He chose family wealth and status over the woman he claimed to love, married someone else, and then continued the relationship instead of ending it. He hurt both women and both children.
Jiang Yan's mother also chose to stay once she knew he was married, so she isn't completely innocent either. But Lu Xixiao and his mother were not the villains of the story. The real source of the problem was the father, yet he's the one people in the story seem least willing to hold accountable.
So I liked the novel a lot but I would have to say I prefer the drama this time. They really added a lot to the plot without making completey disconnected from the novel. Btw I really don't like exact copy of novel sooo
I just read the whole script and novel in 2 days quite a few similarities in scene but a big change in the middle just before the separation. I love spoilers so when I get hold of the script I had to read it.. I loved it. I kind of cried
How have you already marked all 12 episodes watched when only 2 are out 😭
Also, it’s called a character arc for a reason—it builds over time. We’re still in the setup phase of Perfect Crown, not the payoff. It’s way too early to judge the full story or character development right now.
About some comments asking why she snacks on seeds or secretly drinks wine when she “can’t taste anything”—are we forgetting her backstory already? 😭
She wasn’t a human who became a spirit—she was born a spirit. That means she never had those senses to begin with. But at the same time, she was raised in a human environment, around human habits, routines, and behaviors.
So no, she’s not eating or drinking for taste. It’s clearly a habit—something she learned and kept doing over time. And when you’ve lived for 400+ years doing the same things, those habits don’t just disappear. Even humans do things out of habit without thinking or without any real reason. Now imagine that multiplied over centuries.
So it’s not weird or a plot break—it actually makes perfect sense for her character. She behaves like someone who grew up around humans but never fully experienced what they experience. That’s literally the point.
I didn't read the novel but when I expressed the thought that Yan Ke would probably become the obsessive SML turning…
Happy ending for mainleads he Simu become human and lived happily with duan Xu but our little cutie brother chenying died on the battlefield but he ends up become a spirit because of his obsession with protecting and full feeling dreams of our mainleads. He became the next spirit king.
I didn't read the novel but when I expressed the thought that Yan Ke would probably become the obsessive SML turning…
So all ghost king/spirit king has the ability to have children with human that is how our FL He Simu came to being her mother being human died reach natural end of human life and her father pervious ghost king promised her he will stay with her forever but she got the news he killed himself for love. She did not believed this at all. It was yan ke who killed him. Because his obsession is the ultimate power = being the spirit king but he fell in love with fl after she ascended th throne after her father death and stopped his plan.
I didn't read the novel but when I expressed the thought that Yan Ke would probably become the obsessive SML turning…
Novel reader here🤚🤚 Yan ke already did something unforgivable before and he Simu is punishing on purpose by not giving him the 2 things is desperately want her and being the ruler of the ghost relam because his obsession is power. She already have an inkling what he did but will confirm later. Do you want to know what he did?
About the whole “she should either have all five senses or none” argument—why are we treating this like it has to be all-or-nothing? 😭
This isn’t human biology, it’s a fantasy system with its own rules. The drama clearly shows that spirits have limited perception, not complete absence of senses. She has sight and hearing so she can exist, think, and interact—but she lacks touch, taste, smell, color, and music to show that she’s fundamentally not alive.If she had all five senses, she’d basically just feel human, which defeats the entire point of her being a spirit. And if she had none at all, there would be no way for her to function as a character or for the story to even happen.
So it’s not inconsistent—it’s actually a pretty intentional balance. She exists between worlds: aware enough to engage, but deprived enough to feel that disconnect. And that’s exactly what makes the sense-sharing part of the story meaningful instead of just a random ability.
Does any novel readers know if jiang ai likes anybody are end up with anybody you could put it in spoiler tag…
Jiang ai is an evil ghost and all evil ghost has an obsession that why they become evil ghost is the first place jiang ai is money but she does has some kind of relationship with Bai San Xing second in command of fl father pervious ghost king and after this death rebelled and was imprisoned by fl but it not like very well defined kind of ambiguous.
Which comment section? Because I saw no question(s) about him being kicked out of his job? Does he appear after…
I saw the comments a more than a couple of hours ago they will be long buried by other comments now. And they were taking about ep 36 which was leaked I just thought to comment on it because it was bugging me.
I have one question. Why are some people in the comments are wondering song yan got kicked out of his job? He openly insulted a marquis and also has a terrible history with a new appointed general which the senior minister with him now know.
And before anyone say his does not know how they were. It's does not matter even today if you insult a senior member at a company there is good chance you are out. Back then people were literally beaten to death for what he did. He was literally a liability to the minister and the ministry of personnel.
