Mstique

I can’t get over the fact that the dad was not called out for his actions and that they even made excuses for him (you were “agitated”, that’s understandable, drink some soup). I lost it completely when he said to the fl “you must take care in the future” - It felt so FAKE, considering he was ready to exile her yesterday. Get outta here!

The Duke was injured at the time. His soldier kidnapped her to treat the Duke. At the time, she was staying at a temple and had left the Luo mansion due to the humiliation and disrespect she had to endured at the hands of her husband and concubine Qiao. The husband is the worst and a total hypocrite as he got that Qiao pregnant and had to make her his concubine to avoid the scandal. He then started giving that concubine preferential treatment over his legal wife and they even accuse her of trying to harm the baby. So the wife left to live at the temple and that’s when she was kidnapped. The injured Duke was giving a drink that had aphrodisiac and he lost control and ended up spending the night with her. He was not a bad person and he defended her honor. When he asked her to leave with him after the incident she refused because she was already married.

The fl’s mom was not in love with the Duke in the novel. The Duke was in both the drama and Novel

They really sugarcoated what happpeend with the Duke and Madam Gu in the drama compared to the novel. The fl’s mom and the spineless dad had not signed divorce papers; the mom did not fall in love with the Duke; the Duke explained to the spineless father what happened and how the fl was conceived - everything was made clear and in the end the spineless dad felt guilty (they removed a lot of material as to why he left guilty). The dad was called out on his treatment of Madam Gu and the fl, especially by Madam Gu’s trusted maid. The grandma had already passed away by that time.

I am really enjoying the drama, and I like some of the changes. I just don’t like how they bypass certain things/questions by just not addressing them.

Also, the fl left the Luo mansion to go live with the Duke. She was a kid at the time. She did not go live elsewhere nor did she opened a shop. I haven’t finished the novel, but it seems a bit unrealistic that a young unmarried lady, a duke’s daughter, would decide where she lives during that era?

Are they seriously trying to redeem the father after he beat her up. Talking about “you must take care in the future” what? weren’t you trying to exile her never to return to the capital a day ago?

Why is everyone so nice to the spineless father? not one jab at him. Unlike the novel, he was called out on his treatment of the fl’s mother and the fl. He felt remorse. I seriously don’t like how the father is getting away with everything and the abuse.

Regarding: “it may seem like Madam Chen is a villian”? She IS a villain; she killed the fl’s mother and tried to kill other people including the fl. The first master and granny are just part of her vilain origin story.

Unfortunately it looks like he will be in the closing scenes if you look at the intro song.

We should seriously have a pinned message that reads “the fl and the ml are not related”…the number of times I have seen this question asked in the comment section

I think he finds out around ep 8. I think it was after he knew he started having feelings.

What truth should be left unsaid?

She still doesn’t know 100 % as of ep 27. She will know for sure by ep 28-29.

I was at times dying of laughter watching the Sword and the Brocade on viki with the timed comments when the ml is introduced along with “his family”. Everyone in the comments was having a field day lol

The ml has feelings for her but she has not noticed because they are in a sibling relationship as of ep 27. That relationship is finally put into question in ep 27, so maybe once it ends, officially at ep 29, we shall see how they turn it around. It’s been dragging far too long

Seriously, this is starting to drag way too much. I finally decided to watch ep 26-27. So, the sml has still not confirm the identity of the fl, because the fiancé decided to lie. Whatever. I’m so over this storyline.

Ep 26 was mostly about the second leads. I don’t care about them. Sorry to them.

Ep 27: the legitimacy of the fl has been put in question. The truth is still not reveal fully! Argh.

So, ep 28: we will continue the legitimacy saga and finally, at ep 29 the sibling relationship will end.

So only 10 episodes to wrap up everything! Really? Really?

who are you talking about?

What happened?

I’d probably be carrying the torch / flag in a protest against too much screen time for the second leads. I don’t care about their story and their goose. lol

Then you are going to like it. Like I said it’s a HIGH production drama - you can tell by the costumes, the set, the cinematography, the cast. It was also produced by Zhang Ziyi, a renowned actress who plays the lead role. The ml looks like a general, acts a general, IS the general!

What are you waiting for? Start watching lol

The Rebel Princess is high production historical drama with seasoned and older actors. It feels like you are watching a movie. I would definitely recommend. The ml is no pretty boy, he is manly and straight 🔥. His screen presence is insane!

I was going to say “Love & Destiny” but I see that you dropped it. SMH lol. It is the best xianxia drama ever!

Maybe currently airing “the story of Ning”?
