I have such mixed feelings about this show. Everytime I was frustrated, something was. so endearing that I had to fall back into the groove of it. I really appreciated seeing an empress and consort that weren’t constantly scheming and actually had a sisterhood. All the characters had a personality and reason for existing in the story - to help further the plot or OTP’s character development. The characters make mistakes and are acknowledge them and make an effort to change. Character flaws made it a little relatable. I wasn’t in love with the parts, but the sum of the parts came together- from the frustrating separations to the heartwarming memories.

you are telling me he just chilled on the side of a mountain for two days after massive injuries from a chaotic fight followed by jumping off side of cliff? How is he alive?? 😂 I know these dramas require some suspension of disbelief, but wow on this one 🤣

holllld on a minute…ep 49….

oh boy. now this ship is really in trouble…there goes to watching a couple work together to solve problems. 😮‍💨 I am questioning this MDL rating.

when ML found FL in the prison in Tong…can’t remember name of city…, the reunion seemed lacking. There has been no sense of intimacy since that point.

I’m at ep 47…this show lost a lot of its charm around ep 44-45. ML and FL were getting closer but now the chemistry is gone. The pace and tone of the drama feels different too.

ML’s thin lips that almost become non-existent when he is scowling or angry (which is 90% of the drama) is driving me bonkers 😬

I see your pfp 😂coming here after that drama, you will be veryyyy disappointed 😂 🤣 gawd I miss Jiao Jiao and Tingyan. I mean. This is a different type of story. We are watching a 15 year old grow and discover love. So no attacks 😂but. yeah. This is super slow burn.

👌🏼 I’m almost there. I’ll hang on 😂 Thanks!

it’s up .1! 😁 but honestly, it’s deserves more! Think if the amazing journey and what is said in the unspoken…maybe they didn’t clearly draw out the whole pic at the end, but we know their beautiful journey so we can fill in the blanks 🥰🥲😅

do you mind giving me a spoiler of when there’s actual romance between the two? 😅I’m at ep 25 and it’s still very uncertain

when ML rebukes FL’s mom to not interrupt him at ep 24 😂 🤣 finally, someone shuts that woman up

Slowburn is one thing, but I can’t when there are so many other men involved and FL gives them the time of day…and here, it’s more than time of day. I thought I would have to worry about SML…but TML?? IDK how FL and ML will even have an interactions with how sheltered (restricted) FL ultimately is and how busy ML is. When can I expect any romance between ML and FL? Even if it was slowburn but true OTP - something like Story of Minglan - I wouldn’t mind, but watching her develop a ship with one guy…the wrong guy 😂 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🤷🏻‍♀️

Too bad I watch Blossom before this fell for LYR. I’m now afraid I’ll have SML Syndrome. 🙈 I hope ML isn’t one that will scowl the entire drama 😬 It’ll make me watch LYR even more closely 😂

how much longer will I have to deal with FL’s mother being like this? I get what her mother is trying to educate her but the way she is going about it, she IS the one sowing discord. She is constantly putting FL down and then putting Yangyamf on a pedestal.

Ep. 2 - Establish need for skinship to keep ML cool from Spirit Fire heat 😍
Ep. 5 - Start sleeping next to each other (yup starts that early)
Ep. 6 - FL finds out about his clan and understands his plight
Ep. 7 - FIRST kiss. I know. already!
Ep. 11 - ML verbalizes his affection for her
Ep. 13 - OMG! This ep! 🤤😍They are so meant for each other
Ep. 14 - it’s official coupledom

Anyone who needs spoilers for ep markers:

There’s nothing. I might have to take a drama break…and if you see my drama count, that’s a big statement 😭

Trust me, I usually hate those tropes as well, but they do it so beautifully in this. It’s so good that even when one doesn’t clearly remember the other, there’s this electricity between them. The one that remembers is tender and patient. The one that forgot naturally is drawn to the other and has an innate need to trust them. They naturally fall for each other again. There is no miscommunication, no backstabbing or messing up each other’s plans. EVEN the noble idiocy made sense and was safeguarded against. If you are curious what I mean, get back to me after watch his and her noble idiocy moments 😂

I see a lot of ppl upset about the ending, but isn’t it so fitting for a drama that was loaded throughout with heartfelt sweet moments and seductive skinship? They were so classy about how they did the smexier scenes - they weren’t over the top but also gave us enough of the moment to enjoy. This has to be one of the dramas with the most number of legit kiss scenes. They start skinship less thhan halfway into the show. I think with so much of a bond established and shown repeatedly, we can forgive not having a full blown out HEA with babies and all.
