Ah, I didn’t see the relationship chart, so too much reveal there:

I agreed with your observation on FL not trusting her God father. But so far by her character design here, I felt she will have to go through a phase of hating herself for marrying ML, as she still only knew a little about court politics and probably only thought that her father’s being framed could be due to people trying to get to ML. So hence she will also blame ML for not able to rescue her father. But I felt with her wits, she will come through it and work with ML eventually to uncover the evidences. But before that I am sure we will have a few scenes here showing the audience some tension between the leads before they reconcile.

Cool! Be warn, that show has a sad ending and lots of deaths as it’s a prequel to another series. There are lots of side couples with very good chemistry too. Enjoy.

Agreed. He is an eye candy. First saw him in a side role in ‘Love in Pavilion’, he is handsome there too, makes an impression😍.

Ahem…ML is going to war and he may die, so what’s more important then first having his offspring being develop successfully before answering the call? 🤦🏻‍♀️ This man and his staff have to rethink and be re-educated on their priorities. 🤣

We just assume everything fall in place, don’t overthink it, can drive one crazy😝.

Ep 14, Mr Liu as an assassin is a little careless, wears fragrance and such bright and unforgettable eyes that is easily to spot😅. So most of us are right, that it’s obvious he has some feelings for FL.

Np. I hope the conflicts will resolve fast.

I love her self awareness and honesty🤣.

As audience, we will know ML has been framed by FL’s Godfather. But FL didnt know and she probably doesn’t know the undercurrent political issues thats happening. She will blame ML and herself because she will feel that due to her marriage, those people who wanted to harm ML, ended up harming her father, and that’s the fact too.

Its not personal and I don’t blame women in general. It’s what was written in this story and the lesson taught by the female teacher to ML earlier. It’s the writer’s take on this FL for this story.

This ML is a fast, smooth operator, immediately knowing FL has feelings for him and jealous, he quickly proceed to kissing her, if he wasn’t injured, he would have done more🤣.

I actually thought they will show us a scene where her maid saw her without nose, scaring them and then she put on her gold mask.
Wei Liang is too nice, he should at least cut bigger, the gold mask is so tiny and just seems like he cut the tip and not the nose. lol!

Yup, as ML’s lady teacher told him before, woman is trouble. He almost got himself exposed today because of helping FL..,🤦🏻‍♀️. Some may say luckily his teacher came on time.

And both couples were disturbed at the most crucial phase…😅.

Agreed with your thoughts. I do think c drama still tends to struggle to find a balance between the comedic moments and the intense moments. If the pacing is done inaccurately, it will give audience a disconnected feel to the characters which is what I see here at times.

She is the bodyguard appointed by ML to protect FL. ML likes to do this things without bothering to explain😅.

I like to see them both separately now after so many ep. The novel’s ML feels more like a wolf, whereas the drama version is more like a puppy.;) This drama only uses the set up, characters and events, however there has been changes in the characterization which make sense for the drama and needed to pass censorship.
I am enjoying it as it is, but had wish it didn’t need to spend so many ep emphasizing on ML’s pettiness and jealousy, feels repetitive and still waiting for the plot to get on with it😅.

I also guess the third masked man is the butler and he works for the Emperor but under covering in PJ’s mansion and secretly protecting ZH’s plan.

This point exactly, given how PingJing’s paranoid and lack of trust, he is really too trusting about ZH.
