After this drama I will boycott IQIYI. I don’t like the games they are playing with viewers, changing schedules at the last minute. It’s frustrating and unprofessional. Will not support their dramas in the future.
I'm a bit disappointed with ZZ in this regard. As a reborn, he should have taken some necessary precautions. It…
Spot on. That’s why I said previously that it’s hard yo buy into their “romance” if you have not read the book. It looks like a high school crush type of scenario. The FL and XW have experienced hardships in the past, he followed her moves and then spent time together as teacher/student so makes more sense he would fall for her hard.
ZZ definitely doesn't remember the past life. They must have stripped that plotline here, probably because of…
Exactly, everyone told him so. He even upset the emperor. Without XW’s behind the scene support he would 100% be dead that’s I’m surprised people want the FL to marry him.

Yes, this is probably the first plot “hole” I’m seeing. It makes zero sense for him not to Take precautions. So maybe he doesn’t know about the previous life after all and they changed this part in the drama? He acts like someone who is discovering everything.
The death of ZZ's mother is not her fault. I don't get why he didn't arrange for his mother to stay with someone while he is away since he knows she gets ill when it's cold. That's the part I don't get - he knew in advance about this operation (so not like he was forced to go to jail this time). It was her fault in the previous life but not sure in this one.
Am I the only one you found it hilarious how quickly XW run after the FL when he was in the midst of greeting everyone at ZZ's house. He literally jumped and ran LOL. Not only is he not hiding hie feelings but he is making them so obvious. That's the side I love the most about him - he doesn't care about safety, reputation or decorum when it comes to her. He puts her as his number one priority and is willing to do anything for her.
Would it be too much for me to ask you to share a few examples from the book when you have a moment? I'm literally dying while waiting for their relationship to evolve ;(
After tricking her into going to his house to read an old letter, XW becomes inarticulate and unable to capitalise…
Honestly the actor who plays XW has brought this character to life incredibly well. I was genuinely moved during that hug scene - you could sense how heartfelt and sincere he was advising her to either fight for her love or give up and be courageous. He is such a strong and reliable source of guidance and strength to her. And when they zoomed in on his eyes when he said "you will find someome more suitable" (you could tell he almost decided at this moment to become that man for her). Such an iconic scene to me - my favourite so far. And this is the best way to describe both couples: ZZ is the better man due to his moral values, that ideal type every woman aspires to be with. But in reality XW is the more suitable man for her as he fully understands her, value her and accepts her for whom she is.
I know that people want a story to evolve more around their romance but this story is about the FL with her past…
I agree with what you're saying but this drama has been heavily marketed as a romantic drama (based on the trailer, how they marketed the CP, etc.). Politics play a big part but It's not a Nirvana on Fire type of drama. I'm honestly fine with slow burn romance as I love the angst but it just doesn't make sense to me to drag things for too long as viewers who haven't read the book don't have much time to connect to the FL + ZZ ship (as he was introduced super late). Whereas the tension and chemistry between the two leads has been super strong since the start (even if hidden behind that teacher/student facade).
Take precautions. So maybe he doesn’t know about the previous life after all and they changed this part in the drama? He acts like someone who is discovering everything.
