I am only up to 31, but how would the events in it could have happened before the battle? Since General He dies,…
Yes both 31 and 32. Since you only in watched 31 I’ll mention that one. Besides the memorial, royal decree Lord Li coming to grovel that happened after the Luocheng battle. The the rest was before the battle especially with her stressing all the tutors when they tried to teach her. In the novel she didn’t blindly go into battle, the advisors were sent to teach her the art of war.
Something that's been bugging me from early on when Changyu was preparing the court appearance to keep the house:…
In the novel she knows how to read in the sense that she recognizes some common characters from daily life (numbers, goods, simple words). She was teaching Bao’er basic characters like practical things like counting, names, and common terms. She tries to teach Ning Ning but she has no interest and just wants to be a butcher like her sister. Changyu explains that you need to know those thing to become a butcher. Ning Ning doesn’t get the motivation to learn until she sees Changyu teaching Bao’er. The little ones in the novel were always trying to one up the other. She has knowledge but just not full literacy.
Even her not being teachable in the drama with all this hired tutors. In the novel she can’t adapt to their rigid, traditional teaching style. Her personality is too straightforward and independent, so the lessons don’t fully “stick.”
Yan Zheng understands her and helps in a way that suits her by annotating the books in a more practical outlook.
The drama makes her illiterate but in the recent episode she can read but her comprehension isn’t great. The changes the screenwriter makes just aren’t consistent
welp. this morning i'm watching to ep32 with everybody else, but today is my friday, and the site i watch on already…
I rely on subtitles and from what people said it’s horrible. I am also someone who was never bothered by the one episode a day lol the only time I can watch it is during breakfast, lunch or dinner. Today I managed to squeeze in episode 30 and almost finished 31 this morning because I had a late start but I plan to rewatch 31 at lunch time. I’m not someone who watches Chinese drama much I’m watching this on Netflix
I mentioned before that 29-30 was basically to explain the political landscape and its people and they just condensed and breezed through Luocheng battle (assuming bc of time constraints). Viewers were jarred and confused and felt it was choppy. Now catching up to 31-32… all these things happened before the battle at Luocheng. The change in order of things in the drama so far didn’t bother me but this one did. Either way besides 29 & 30 I am back to enjoying the drama so far
This part of the plot got interesting. I really like how the court politics played into making FCY commandant/general…
The drama has been showing the scenes out of order. The acknowledgment of her lack of military knowledge and even bringing people in to help teach her happens as part of her growth to becoming a General happened before the Luocheng battle in episode 30. I’m going to assume we’ll probably see her sparring and growing her martial arts/combat skill… if so it was done before the Luocheng battle.Also the novel made her illiterate. The girl was smart and was even teaching Ningning to read.
Li Huai An… I don’t know how I feel about the drama version lol in the novel he is used as a pawn so he was a bad egg and at his moment I did sympathize for him and thought he was cowardly. In the drama he took over another character so his storyline gave him a redemption with General He taking him under his wing to avoid being a pawn. Also screen writer using Changyu’s action to solidify his character still sticking with General He (for now) when pressured by both Li and Wei side. I mentioned “for now” bc when he was pledging to follow in General He’s the tone in that moment makes me think his thought might not match his pledge and him saying later his and Changyu’s ties end there. NOW he out here groveling… real or ulterior motive lol
Can anyone please keep updating if there is any official news about new schedule or anything else because I depend…
Today is the last day for two episodes and the rest will be one a day. Sucks that those site just uploaded it all and uses a machine translation. Hopefully they’ll update after each release. I’ve been watching this on Netflix and even then the subtitles are off there and there lol
We need the backstories. They are crucial to the storyline. We are almost there.
I’m not denying it. It helps bc I’ve seen ppl confused who is who as the different power struggles. We are getting closer to the action of the struggle
Episodes 29 & 30 overall was to basically explain backstories and the political landscape. They then squeeze and rush through Changyu’s General growth and the numerous battle scenes. Now let’s see what episode Les 31 & 32 will bring us!
I don’t like Li Huai An. He was a bad egg in the novel. In the drama he basically absorbed a character in the novel called WangPeng and became that trusted aide. The drama explains it by General He saying he took him under his wing so that he isn’t used as a pawn between Li and Wei family. In the novel Changyu knocks out WangPeng who was in a suicidal mission to avenge General He. Since they merged two characters they got Changyu knocking out a military leader whereas he was a subordinate who was tied between the Li and Wei power struggle.
It’s really become clear the show really is all about our FL.
Technically his character is fleshed out and his title is just a show of his political weight bc in the novel he is just plain cold cut and ruthless so you see his authority and skill. His biggest battle should be at the capital when he faces off with his uncle.
Even with Changyu in the novel she’s more complex, sharp and direct whereas in the drama they made her more emotion driven and audience friendly.
Anyway. I am glad more people are discovering her! She’s ALWAYS been amazing at showing emotions in such a grounded way but in PoJ?! Layered and above and beyond.
I’m sorry but is her mere presence a threat to you that you have to come into her profile page that on average is low traffic unprovoked? Girl is out here grinding lowkey and her latest drama seems to catch new fans that you feel threatened?

The novel wasn’t about why he was a great leader. He is at a plateau as a Marquis in the novel, all his growth and achievements happened way when he was younger. It’s why you hear story of his battles that made him who he is. Also with him being a marquis you’d see him on a horse more often than on foot. I will say there are some scene that were cut off that showed his prowess especially since he was known for his archery. When everything is over he becomes a intermediate Regnant while Bao’er grows up and then becomes a a Marquis agagain
