Nope, the next in line after Jing Li should be Mo Xiuwen's son, Xiuyao's nephew. I forget his name. In fact, arguably he should also inherit the Prince Ding title over Xiuyao's son. The only reason Xiuyao is Prince Ding is bc his brother was executed as a traitor so Xiuwen's son was disqualified from inheriting the title. Otherwise child or not, the kid would be Prince Ding. But now that Xiuwen is exonerated, the titles and line of succession should revert back to his son. Chinese were very strict about primogeniture - son of the son of the son.... lateral succession is very rare and only when all the sons of sons are dead.

I suspect it works bc WeTV only checks when you start watching the episode whether you are on your iphone or ipad. If you resume playing, it can't tell that you are continuing from the AppleTV - esp if you are on the same wifi network. The key is to wait a few minutes and don't try to play the episode directly, click on resume playing. It only works on my AppleTV box WeTV app. It doesn't work on my LG TV WeTV app. But my mom doesn't have to do any of that stuff she can play it directly on her Sony GoogleTV. Good luck!

Ah ok - yes maybe Feng will kill her dead.

Tyvm. He is also MXY’s spy. I think he will stumble on Cangbei scheming again.

Idk for sure but imho she was always dead dead.

Ye Li first met/was rescued by MXY in the year of Jinghe 13 (ep 2). The late emperor died in the year of Jinghe 14/eight years ago. Shortly there after all the other events transpired. A lot of them played out simultaneously so it’s hard to sequence them. But I would say she went to look for MXY with a gift before the late emperor died. When she gave him the pastry it had to be after Sixue pass - at the time her mother should be still alive and about to be tricked into retrieving the information about the edict from General Mo.

I managed to play the ep 33 express on my AppleTV box without streaming it. You have to trick it first by playing a bit of it on your phone or iPad and then turn it off. Then you resume watching it on your AppleTV. It doesn’t work on my smart tv though.

Feng is iust seeking closure and will stumble on something to move the plot forward.

The marquis sent his illegitimate son Qin Cang to kill the prisoner bc he hoped he would die trying. The shit was hitting the fan for him and Qin Cang did a lot of his dirty work for him over the years. He couldn't risk that Qin Cang would throw him under the bus so he sent him on a suicide mission and his steward to finish the job in case it didn't go as planned.

Consort Qin fell in love with Zhou Xiankun when he was escorting her to marry the previous emperor. This fake necromancer manipulated her into supporting Consort Guo (Empress Dowager) for years bc her father is a powerful fief lord in Nanyi. Zhou Xiankun's true love was the Empress Dowager - hence the famous poem he composed about how to him the hibiscus is superior to the plum blossom. Hibiscus was the ED's nickname as a young girl. But once she used him up, the ED chose to let him die instead of saving him. He advised Consort Qin to keep the edict to protect herself - don't be like me, a used up pawn! So Consort Qin made a fake edict which she gave to Marquis Muyang and he burned it. The ED trusted his word. She didn't need to see it bc she is a super cunning villain. She distanced herself from everything so she would have plausible deniability. She can credibly swear on her own life and her clan's life that she's never seen the edict and lightning wouldn't strike her down dead bc technically, it is true.

Honestly episode 33 gave me covid PTSD. Thankfully I am not yet talking to ghosts.

I think it didn't hurt that she was young and social distanced. Did you see those guys all clustered together - it was an ancient super spreader event omg!!!

There is nothing more dangerous than radicalised, idealistic and ignorant young people. They are they ones that actively stopped Ye Li from getting help. Grandpa and the other masters were too ill to do much. And wow - all of them clustered together - now THAT boys and girls is called a SUPERSPREADER EVENT.

Yellow earth is loess (huáng tǔ), a highly fertile, wind-blown silt - from afar it may look like a desert but its not. This fine-grained, yellowish soil spans vast parts of northern China known as the Loess Plateau and the North China Plain, giving the Yellow River its distinct color and name.

The present day sequel was not watchable.

One and Only.

Yes I know all that - I am watching the drama I don't need a recap. Please read again carefully what I wrote. What makes no sense and is not explained is he didn't have it on him and entered the capital.

I don't think you are alone. And its a well written conflict because there are audiences on both sides of the conflict. I think they are both not perfect and realistically written. To your point, I would add that he burnt the pastry wrapper as symbolic that her debt was repaid, that going forward she can choose him or anyone else out of her free will. I don't think he ever meant for her to leave him like that and would have torn up the divorce papers if she had just asked. But she never said one thing to protest or reassure him. He only divorced her to set her free of any debts to choose him again. I think Ye Li understood where he was coming from all along - that she decided to forgive him the moment he followed her. She instinctively went back to Lishan because she knew he would follow her and wanted to show him what she couldn't even accept herself, much less tell him.

She definitely more than just fantasized about him after his hero saves the beauty/英雄救美人 stunt all those years ago.

Same. Hope her xianxia days are over.

For me she only had two memorable roles including this one. All the rest she is just Bai Lu being Bai Lu - charming enough but same old same old. I have watched tons of her dramas but have pretty much forgotten all her characters.
