Before the spring scene, the deception had been going on for almost two years. He lost control at the spring scene because the fl added some aphrodisiac by mistake in the wine and he lost all rational though after drinking. He was 100% firtatious in the novel, and 100% committed to the fl and making her his wife. Reading his antics were so funny. Their interactions were fun to read and their fights almost always ended in the bedroom.
The drama deviates majorly from the novel starting at ep 16: the spring scene. In the novel, the ml loses control due to the wine served by the fl and they end up doing the deed and they do it more than once that night and the nights that follow. Shortly after the spring scene, the fl finds out the truth through her uncle: she is not married to the ml. She also finds out his real identity. She is upset that he lied and used her, but also took her v-card. She still has not recover her memories. The ml does not grovel and basically tells her to get over it so that they can plan their future (asked her to become his concubine). He even blames her for losing control. The fl leaves him without saying goodbye. He can’t follow due to the war but he is mad, sad, and upset. He sent his people to spy and monitor her every move. He is in a foul mood. When he is finally able to leave and can no longer take the separation he goes after her with marriage in mind (making her his official wife). He tries to seduce her every chance he gets, and succeeds. All this happens around chap 50-60. I haven’t finished the novel. I got to the part where he followed her with marriage in mind. She gets pregnant and they have a kid together. Apparently, the fl recovers her memories towards the end of the novel.
I'm only on episode 15, but isn't the FL's persona also built on lies, deceptions and fantasy? I mean, it's not…
The fl is no innocent and I am sure we will know more about her at the story progresses. During her memory loss, no, her persona is not built on lies, deceptions and fantasy as she genuinely believe that the ml is her husband. She accepted that she is married because many people (all planted by the ml) told her that, but she could have tried a bit harder but then again the ml was monitor her every mode. Anyway, the story has deviates so much from the novel, so I’m not sure what’s going to happen next!
In the novel, Physician Zhao liked LMT and made a move when he thought CXZ abandoned her lol. He used to look…
I actually laughed so much when he was wishing for the ml’s death during war so he could take care of her. He kept telling him “if you die, I’ll take care of her, don’t you worry, and blah blah blah” The ml eventually snaps.
I must say WCR did really well here. She was ok in Royal Feast and Fireworks of my heart.
I dropped Fireworks of my heart and her very unfortunate character in “Have a crush on you,” but I’m really liking her character here! Can’t wait to see how everything plays out with the ML, who is also doing a fine job with his character.
About to watch ep 19 in 3…2…1
