I don’t like the FL’s grandfather at all. He straight-up told her, “I wish you were a boy,” when he was…
She’s a woman in historical times. She’s expected to endure, to adapt, to be the emotional anchor for everyone else’s ambitions. In costume dramas, it’s the template. Using her as a political pawn, whether through marriage alliances, inheritance disputes, or courtly manipulations, isn’t just common — it’s expected. Her value is rarely defined by her choices, but by what others stand to gain through her. That's just the typical mindset of the men and by default, women of that time.
Wei Yan's entire tactic is small mishaps lead to big mistakes. Unfortunately, he is dealing with two very cunning and smart people whose petty fights are drawing them closer together.
The Zhumu was impressed that she didn’t tattle about the situation—it showed her quick thinking and her loyalty in protecting her husband. She knew when to hold her tongue, proving that she understands the weight of silence. Sometimes, saying less speaks louder—after all, still waters run deep.
I like the actor that plays Mr Wei. He always play these villainous characters to the tea, and funny too
That's my boo, the Second Prince! I always say, playing the villain really gives you the backbone to play unconventional characters. He needs to make his way into films.

A republican spy drama. I hope this is one with Wang Kai!
