Okayyyyy episode 29 was so well balanced!! They took me out with that sweet moment between LBY and CSS at the wall : "You're the brightest star to me" and that forehead kiss- Loved it ! The fact the Cheng siblings were each freaking out about their kisses lool.

Loving the dynamic between the Empress and CSS- she is finally getting some deserved motherly love. On a side note, Madam Wang is absolutely crazy. She is stuck in the past and letting people manipulate her- SMH. Marquis Yue seems to be one of the biggest problems facing LBY and the present imperial court.

Episode 30.

Bruh~!!!!!!! The highlight of this entire episode was Imperial Consort Yue Heng. Sis was on fire! She leveled everyone to the ground! Absolutely amazing to watch and a perfect balance after the mistreatment of CSS.

This episode shed a lot of light on Huo Chong and just why the Emperor loves him so much and how that loves translates to Zisheng.

I loved the moment coming out of East Palance where CSS is acting petty about LBY coming to look for her and he just snatches her up and places her on the fence. Like dang even my heart fluttered. I also love how CSS called him Ling Zisheng; it just felt so much for intimate. She is really opening up to him.

I loved the balance in today's episodes was a nice combo of heart-fluttering moments+ some crazy royal relative acting up+ revenge+ funny moments.


Some things I am looking forward to seeing in the coming episodes:
1. Obviously more LBY + CSS romance
2. More interactions between the Cheng siblings and LBY
3. More progress on the love story between Ban Jie and Yang Yang ( it's been almost 10 episodes since he saw her and fell for her)

Its still part 2, they are just airing it immediately. China has a 40 episode cap on shows. So legally and on paper it is still part 2

I'm the exact same with this show. I need the episodes as soon as they come out

You know it !!! LMAO

Yup LMAO LBY returns pretyy much like right after they become officially engaged

Welcome to part 2 guys!!!! We are in for one heck of a ride! The ending of Part 1 had me on a rollercoaster. I knew CSS would come around eventually but watching the pain in LBY eyes as she rejected him yet again had me teary-eyed.

You know China has a law that limits the number of episodes a show can have. So I get why MDL wouldn't want any issues from the broadcasting companies or whatever by combining the pages

I said she lived with her maternal aunt in law. Regardless she DID come home to visit (hence why she and NN knew each other beforehand) and had to withstand her mom attitude.

Is heart of genius any good? I just started dream of splendor 10 mins ago

Me too because I just watched a clip when he comes back and she is out with YS and they meet. I'm already sad. I def have to find another show to watch while waiting for episodes

I agree actually lol. That dinner scene was hilarious and sad at the same time. Sad because LBY was really trying his best and thought he was bonding with his future bro in laws, but they were just so scared of his presence and the guards the had to comply

I mean if we are being objective her life kindda sucked too. I think we get so wrapped up in CSS and her plight with her mom we forget Yang Yang didn't have it that great either. A crazy abusive mom who verbally and physically assaulted her dad every chance she got ultimately leading to her being raised by her maternal aunt -in-law.

She isn't necessarily sad as more as she is just a meek and calm person. She is much like her dad in that way. She is a contrast on CSS

TBH I think it was intentional, the lack of balance I mean. We don't need to like or understand YS as of yet, they are building up to Part 2 when he falls hopelessly in love with CSS and becomes her interim Knight in Shinning Armor. But Yeah they still can never make me like the dude LMAO

You cannot blame her actually. Before that proposal banquet, LBY had never said any words directly indicating he liked CSS. At the beginning it was too soon, then when they were closer it was too late. But when she does understand him boyyyy it's explosive. She goes through quite a lot by his side.

You summarized it soooo well. NN will learn to trust LBY intentions towards her. Right now she doesn't really even know the man and the whole engagement happened so suddenly. LBY will also learn to rely on her.

LMAO that's what is so iconic about his character LMAO he really doesn't know just how intimidating he is. Comes to apologize for being late and pulls up with his own private security company

TBH YS could take a bullet for CSS and I would still dislike him. He ultimately sucks and I am sad I have to watch CSS engaged to him even for a bit. For some reason the character in the drama is even more annoying

I feel you. Like I know whats going to happen and my heart is STILL not ready. I just watched another video on a chinese youtube channel that has some new scenes from his exile and return and I'm already bawling.

Yeah I know, but even CSS realizes he makes those decisions because its in her benefit. If I remember that part in the book correctly, it was about drinking ice wine during the cold period. I think he was more an over concerned lover than a parent. He never stopped her from doing the things she truly wanted to do for example the part where he bought her a bunch of crafting tools for her wood work. CSS says it herself in the book that LBY understood her, didn't see her as weird or discourage her in the name of danger. She said she felt more at ease with LBY rather than Lou Yao who obeyed her every word.
