I think there will be a divorce or she will just leave him after the 2 years contract period has ended. But she will eventually remarry him again as the main wife, as in the opening/ending song I saw her in another green wedding robe which is different from the one she initially wore.

Agreed. The editing was off in ep 10 too. One moment, they were tensed together in the bedroom and in the next, XXM was suddenly with SW. The transition was so abrupt. No explanation about what happened in the bedroom and how he returned the hairpin to her. It also doesn't make sense that she can just leave the Manor in such a situation in the middle of the night, especially as a concubine.

I thought it would be another contract marriage where both fall in love after marriage. Turns out the ML falls for the FL way earlier. Liking the storyline and acting so far. Not a fluffy rom com but not overly serious either.

Agree, I had the same confusion. The transition was too abrupt.

Luckily, we don't get to see their post marriage life lol

It's up to the royals to decide. If you can please them, they can appoint you to any position they like.

I'm at ep 44 and the misunderstanding is still ongoing

It's a missed chance. Sigh

Instead of just pissing him off. I would rather her keep up the pretense so that she can destroy the Lu family and after that tell LuQi the truth. Telling him now will only piss him off without achieving much.

What is FuYin trying to achieve telling LuQi the entire truth in ep 44? Gosh, just when you think this girl can't get more conflicted. Wonder what LuQi will do to her know that he knows the truth.

Me! Fu Qin is a really confused and conflicted character.

Agree. Too much foundation and powder. There is even powder on his eye lashes.

Agree that she deceived Zi Fang and it's despicable. I'm not condoning her actions. What I'm saying is that I understand her motivation. For Fu Yin her motivation is ambiguous her actions doesn't match with what she says. Which is very frustrating to watch.

Agree that she is very naive and maybe even bimbotic. I mean, what was she even thinking infiltrating in the Lu mansion without any concrete plan. Now she is knocked up with enemy's child, on the verge of mental breakdown and lost her freedom. Sigh...

Agree that she is a very naive girl and it's very frustrating to watch her getting herself in this mess. I don't think Lu Qi would have forced himself on her as he wanted to "conquer" her. The moment he thought she slept with his cousin he lost interest in her. Although he is treating her nice now, he still considers her as his slave, which is totally different from how her fiancee treated her, i.e. as an equal and with respect. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that she fell for Lu Qi when she has experienced so much better.

Agree. I can understand Lu Ying Ying motivations. She probably is also thinking that she may get married to someone she doesn't love. So at least have her first time with someone she loves.

From ep 28 onwards it becomes very obvious. Lu Qi gets injured and she is nursing him day and night. Even cries when there is a possibility that he may die.

I've no issue with the drama turning dark as long as the transition makes sense. This show just has too many plot holes.

I was initially also doubtful about the Dileraba and Leo pairing. But thanks to their good acting, I got over their age gap pretty soon. It's not a flawless drama but is one of the best Cdrama I've seen so far. It's fast paced, light and there is a lot of character development for not only the main leads but also the side characters. Leyan's kidnapping and disappearance was indeed a bit too long but it kind of made sense, as she went through various life experiences because of it and it shaped her personality and world view. As for Chang Ge's revenge. Yes, she started of as this vengeful no matter what I must revenge girl but a long the way after going through many events, meeting various people and making mistakes she realises that she has lost herself and adjusted her morale compass in later episodes. Hope you are still watching. Today they're releasing the final episodes.

Recommend the long ballad with Dileraba and Leo Wu. No moment is draggy and both leads are intelligent and capable in their own right.
