Pengcheng knew he was a puppet, and that Empress Mother controlled the throne. When she walked inyo his palace with three dozen scrolls of eligible consort candidates, she literally shoved the portrait in his face, and said, "This one is blah blah blah." She didn't even greet him, and suggest a talk about consort selection. He should have replied, "I will marry all of them." 🤣🤣🤣

He was selfish and she was an inconvenience... a prop. He was also playing son-in-law to the Feng Emperor. He didn't trust them, and they didn't trust him either.

Emperor Feng doted on his daughter, and vice versa. Thry had similar character traits.

It happened. Now, they are two for two. 🤣🤣🤣

Later, she had two scars. 🤣🤣🤣

This couple was fated to be be together. Stabbed, lost their memory...

Update: That didn't happen in the end. 🤣🤣🤣

😀😄😆

It's always open door policy. 😅😅😅 No security checkpoints!

I think he told Xiyang he was 20, so his sons would be very young children.

I would add this to the director's lists... the BGM saturating the scenes, especially during dialog.

XJY had varying moods, whereas XJS was usually smiling or frowning.

She was in love with him. 🥰🥰🥰

Her problem was that she fixated on Jing Shi for years because he was her knight in shining armor. He had no feelings for her, and was thrust into the marriage scheme by his stepmother and brother, and her Emperor father, Prime Minister Zhuang, and Empress Zhuang. He could not refuse the marriage, and Suige made him become the Feng live-in son-in-law. On top of that he was poisoned and manipulated by his family. She showed up, and manipulated him as well. Plus he was deluded, and fixated on Yixiao. What a colossal mess! 🤯🤯🤯

They wiuld have to remake it from scratch, and they need a budget.

Wow! Did they really become Emperor and Empress in the book? The writers should have kept that ending.

XJS's reign lasted less than a full day. LOL Probably one of the shortest in C-Dramaland.

The Storm Alliance segment ran too long. I was expecting a final battle, but it was just infighting and the demise of the Empress Dowagers. Jinxui kingdom is just floundering with no emperor now. Jing Yan was twenty years' old. His offspring would be little children.

It was time for him to go. Either he or Sui Ge were having flashbacks when he was dying. I don't think we needed to see the flashbacks for the third time. Sui Ge called him a brother, and he called Sui Ge a best friend. So they were not on the same page.

i think the extra episodes are the BTS.
