I see that romance is not list under the synopsis and, judging from your comments, the ending is open. BUT, is there any hint or romance / or actual romance? It can't be a true Bromance if there is a ML and a FL. Comments? Thanks.

I am not familiar with him but it seems that you are if you know him by two names. Thanks, though. I'll keep an eye out for him.

I think she has uploaded 3-6, too. Anyway, I know that eps 5 and 6 have been uploaded by someone, because I have seen them.

See my comment to Emily 123456 below.

Yes. He was rude. Have you been on Chinese Drama Wiki 2025? This drama is listed (under 'Wuxia' at the bottom of the page with all aired / currently airing / soon to air historical dramas. I have not checked its individual page, or checked the particular channel or platform, though. If it has been listed, it is soon to air. (It has never been wrong before.

Edit:
Broadcast network: iQiyi, Tencent
Broadcast period: 2025-Sep-11

OK. Thanks

I do not understand what you mean. If you are saying that I was implying / saying that he did nothing wrong - you have sorely misconstrued my words. I clearly stated that he committed sexual assault AND that, were it to happen to me, I would have kicked him in the balls. Everything that I said was from a legal standpoint - not an emotional one.

When did the episodes rule change? I haven't read anything about that. Thanks.

Why was the ML in a 'battle' with Prince Ning? It was not as if they were fighting over the throne or 'heir of family' inheritance. (actions of concubine's son notwithstanding). I get that the ML lead was investigating Ning, but why did that necessitate the ML pretending to be a playboy and not previously taking the imperial exams etc., because of it? He could have become a scholar / military man like those around him and still investigated Ning in secret.

I think that the 'investigating Ning for his father's death bit' was not explained very well at all. That or it was so quick, that I missed it.

Something that I don't understand...

Yes, I do. But although he watched the puppet show and learned about this prince (about time, too) the episodes are still so slow,

Oh. Ha ha. It's not that bad. I thought it much better in the beginning - but they are spending too much time in the camp or at her mansion. Things need to move on a piece. Try giving it another go. I shall probably wait for it to finish so that I can fast forward the slow bits.

Is it me, or is this drama so slow? I am on ep 23 and getting bored with it. I love the drama but need something to happen - more often than it does.

I half hope that the old empress will turn up! Anyway, I would like to see the face of the FL when / if she discovers that her own father had the empress killed and that it was not the emperor. I will feel quite cheated if I don't get to see that.

I thought the same as you! But now we know that he has been poisoned - whether she did it or not or not. There is only one episode left to wrap this up - so we'll probably have to guess some of it.

I have just finished ep. 12. I haven't seen her since ep. 5. So I don't know whether she is relevant or not.

Have you watched ep. 13 yet? I wonder what her 'true ambition' (00:14on video) is ?

The Way of the Dao / Tao - they follow the Dao / Tao teachings

A long wait then. Thank you. I hope that there is enough going on to keep them in the same scenes together, otherwise I might lose interest .

Okay. thank you.
