It's interesting that this is rated lower than Different Princess with Ireine Song, which I'm watching at the same time. This is a higher quality production. Both stories are interesting. The criticism of Tan's physical looks and constant negative feedback seems like trolling on this page.

Not sure why you go on about Zhao Liying on repeat in so many comment sections; however, I doubt Lusi wants to be Liying, who at 37 is aging out of the young romance costume dramas that Lusi is doing in her mid 20's. Liying will start to play more mature roles shortly, the way that Yang Mi is currently doing in This Thriving Land. How much longer can you carry on this repeat thread of yours?

Yes, sometimes the comments are fun to watch or you can make your own comments too.

Agree, that beating was hard to watch. I thought the Dad was going to die at that point protecting her.

Loved him there but he didn't have a lot of screen time compared to the others. Hope he has a bigger presence in S2.

It's on Viki too if you like watching all the comments user put up in the left corner while each episode is playing.

Yes, true, but I think it sets her up for a better life. The sad part is about the Dad, hope he's ok.

Agree, I also think this is his best role to date.

Thankfully, he's still young enough to hopefully get some lead roles in bigger, full length productions.

You have a point. I only watch the costume drams so didn't see him in that one.

I always wondered if, outside of Neo's pretty-boy roles, like A Girl Like Me, Neo could truly act. He just proved it with this role. He was soulful, showed the misery and frustration of his predicament while still retaining his kindness. When he lost control, his heartless actions were brutal. I was here mostly for Zou as Fei; however, all of the actors cast in this production were stellar in their roles.

No, he could not. She was a chattel slave, bought and owned by that family. He would have been brought before the legal jurisdiction of the time had he tried to intervene and had no legal standing whatsoever. This story's theme is all about legalities and her use of them to help people. Don't let the first episode turn you off of the story.

Crap like this happens all the time. When crazy stuff happened to Zhang Zhehan, his fans continue to support him in his new endeavors. At least she wasn't cancelled.

Happy ending.

I feel like this couple should be the new Bai Lu and Xu Kai breakout couple and appear in a full length series. They both delivered in this one.

Got it. Thanks for the info. Great so far.

The "Details" synopsis on MDL is getting worse in telling almost the entire story before you even watch episode 1, lol.

So glad you said that. I felt like I slogged through the first half of the first series until it got interesting in the second half. Hoping this one is more even paced.

Well said, maybe mom and son will pair in another series.

That's how I read it as well, HE. This ML is great in all of his series. I didn't recognize the FL; however, she was talented too.
