Can someone explain to me if Jiang Xu is the Emperor's brother or son? The Emperor seems too young to be his father.…
Jiangxu is neither brother nor son of the emperor [if I am not mistaken, they are cousins - its been a while since I read the novel].
The three friends are not princes but they are sons of prominent figure [scholar Shu & Zhang guy] meanwhile Lu Ting is the head of palace guards.
They were all choices to marry Ming Tan because they are Jiangxu friends, meaning they will support Jiangxu and the emperor and since Ming Tan father is an important general, they wanted the Ming family to support the emperor instead of empress dowager.
As for why emperor favours Jiangxu, there’s a secret but its a major spoiler.
I think so to sp far even though I am on episode 3.Maybe that the way in the novel as well? any novel reader could…
I have different view from user u1014, while I agree that’s probably the author intention when writing the FL, but I personally find her lack in personality and just cringe most of the time. In the novel, I feel like ML does all the work [figuratively] - and since the ML is also not sincere in marrying her [not out of love or attraction] so I supposed I dont pity the ML so much. anyway I enjoyed their friendship story a lot in the novel.
on the contrary, BSE played the FL character amazingly and I dont find the FL in the drama as cringe as the FL in the novel.
