I admit I shared a similar theory a bit earlier after watching the episodes. There must be some kind of a connection between the doctor and the mother since we saw him pay respects to her, and it is one of my wilder theories that she had been taken to that place he mentioned, possibly even is still there, alive. And the emperor doesn't want anyone to talk about her because he doesn't want to take any risk that anyone will find out and Feng Suige will go looking for her.

I wonder what is a connection between Feng Suige's mother and the male doctor, how does the guy know her? Could it be that the reason why the Emperor doesn't want her mentioned is because she was actually taken to that place he mentioned and now can't leave, so he doesn't want anyone to even think of looking for her, which Feng Suige wouldn't hesitate to do for a split second if he knew? There has to be some story there and I wonder what it's going to be.

The scene in prison between Fu Yixiao, Ning Fei and Xiao Weiran was so sad, but so excellent. I think I actually felt the most sorry for Ning Fei - the guy knew nothing, and now he’s watching his family fall apart and now he will probably never see any of them again. Though he probably will know that it’s Fu Yixiao that ended up helping him out, whatever small consolation that might be.

Based on the previews, it looks like Murong Yao is going to be back in the next episodes. Now that Fu Yixiao’s web has untangled and she has her answers (mostly), are we moving on to Feng Suige starting to uncover even more betrayals of his closed ones? I already can’t wait.

Exactly! That's why I'm thinking there might be way more to this than meets the eye, and there's so many different possibilities... I agree that the Emperor is totally up to something as well, and knows more than he lets on. It's almost as if everyone is involved in some intrigue to a certain extent but it should be interesting to see it all untangle.

I thought nobody could be more annoying than the doctor, but the Princess is offering her a really good competition. By the end of the story, she will probably end up thoroughly regretting all of her choices and unless she gets a remarkably good character arc throughout the drama, I’ll be super happy to see that.

It’s interesting how they’re setting up Feng Suige and Fu Yixiao’s situations to be quite similar - betrayed by those that they are closest to, especially if Murong Yao is the one behind the mask and I can’t see any other option. But with people pointing out that Zuo Ye is actually holding a mask on posters, I can’t help feeling like it can’t be that easy because would they really show a spoiler like that on promotional materials?

I’m probably completely wrong, and thoroughly overthinking the whole thing, but right now I’m pretty convinced he’s actually Susha’s inside man in the other kingdom in whatever form. The one time we saw him, he was doing a very good job of presenting himself as a carefree lover boy and I just wonder if he was putting on an act for Feng Suige, or for the others. It’s still the best theory I have at the moment, and I can’t wait for when we get to see more of his plot develop. And to see how badly wrong I might have been lol

Yeah, I know what you mean, I've seen the trailers and even the actor's weibo post suggests there's more going on with this character. We will have to see how it develops, I'm sure looking forward to it :) I have FOF on my list too, actually, need to get to it at some point.

I've watched his scenes in MJTY so many times that it's totally the same for me. I also happened to pause the video to look better at such a frame that even the expression is similar to some of the ones he has in that drama but I started to doubt myself. I'm actually excited to see him in such a role - in my opinion, villains are much more difficult to do convincingly, so I have high hopes. If he really is a villain in the end, rather than a double agent working for the Prince after all.

This, totally! When I first saw the masked guy, my first thought was that if I were to guess from the eyes, my bet is that it's Zuo Ye behind that mask. Though I am watching this drama mainly because of him, so I thought that it might just be my wishful thinking and wanting to see more of him . Nice to see I'm not the only one thinking it's him :D
