Okay so this is a spoiler free content, just what is shown till ep 9.

ML's name is Xie Zheng. His father was General Xie, who has died in the battle or somehow related to a battle 16 years back, when ML was a young child. His mother suicided. His mother's brother is Prime Minister Wei, who is very powerful, is even feared by the current king. Prime Minister Wei brought up his nephew ML, was very strict with him, but gave him the best tutors to educate him properly.

Prime Minister Wei has a son Wei Xuan, he was shown in ep 9, he is rude and arrogant, and wants to attack Prince Changxin, about whom we don't know till now, but seems as a neighbouring country prince who was defeated by ML. Wei Xuan wants to take control over ML's army and defeat Prince Changxin or probably kill him.

In the palace there are two factions, one headed by Prime Minister Wei. Another is headed by Grand Tutor Lei. His grandson is Li Huai An, also called as Wenkan who is in the town where FL and ML currently are. He was the one who gave lift to FL in his carriage when FL was attacked by a wolf, was also shown in ep 9 helping her from shadow guards. He is investigating FL, tracking her, on the orders of his master He Jing Yuan. Li Huai An also seems to have guessed that FL's husband is Marquis.

He Jing Yuan is the prefect of the town where ML and FL live. He also seems to be a friend of FL's father, who had requested him to look after his daughters after his death.
Prime Minister Wei sends shadow guards to FL's house to find a letter, and to kill the sisters. ML understands that his uncle is looking for a letter, but doesn't know what is in the letter, neither do the audience know. This makes us understand that FL's parents had some secret identity, and have a past with ML's uncle. He Jinhyuan has a box which he sends to ML's uncle.

ML also doubts that it was his uncle that wanted to kill him, because he was investigating his father's death from 16 years back.
The current king had proposed marriage of the princess/his sister with ML previously, but ML had rejected that.

Episodes air at 6 pm China Standard Time. Daylight savings has nothing to do with it. Its around 5:10 pm in China currently, we have to wait for 50 minutes more.

He had spies around FL and SFL. FL's maid was his spy. He was no transmigrator just was very smart and had his ways leading FL to misunderstand that he was a superior being or something.

She explains exactly what happened to her and everyone else in the past life. But instead of a rebirth, she said she feels that might be a dream. But yes she does tell him, and he believes her.

I did not read Legend of female general novel. I read this one.

I did not read that novel, I just saw the drama.
She was really confused herself, even she felt it was kind of a dream. So she told him that it was a kind of experience she went through, kind of a dream or whatever he believes. He did believe her. They did not really delve into that so much. It was just left to that, it could be a rebirth, or a dream or a premonition for the future.
She later met a saint kind of a person who explained to her that it was a second chance she got. So she told that to ML later.
But in the drama, it will be 100% a dream, because rebirth plots are not allowed. So I don't think they will have such conversations, might be a hint or something max.

Pretty late, in the last few episodes, after their marriage. But not reborn. She said it was a very long dream.

I am not blaming actors. I have heard there are joint discussions with the production team for dubbing considering various factors from both ends. From the audience perspectives, I think we would love it more if leads use their own voices.
Like Bai Lu recently said she and the production team decided it would be better to use her own voice in Unveil Jadewind. Wang Xingyue and Xu Ruohan were both scheduled to dub for their upcoming drama Love in Red Dust, but Ruohan was busy filming her new drama, so she couldn't.
So yeah I am speaking about such instances.

Yeah, same! Its very usual these days. It pisses me off when I see reuters videos of them saying their dialogues with their sexy voices, and how they seem so perfect, and then they don't dub it themselves, huhh! Happened with How Dare You too. Like yeah I get it actors might be busy, but just take time off to dub yourself.

Its not bad though, people are happy with the dubbing, but yeah his own voice would have been perfect. Chinese shows always dubbing their leads is such a weird concept to me, like the place I come from, this would have been completely not allowed, even I have not heard of this in Korean dramas. I mean its your show, you are the lead, we want to hear your voice, just dub it yourself.

The trailer had his own voice. But the drama doesn't.

Hehe, not goofy villain, very serious villain

Villain

The New Zealand Schedule has been wrapped up. The cast is on their way back home. The next schedule is supposedly in May/June in some European country, details of which are not out yet.

ML knows about his uncle. There would be a new emperor by the end. ML and FL both have good comrades to support them.

She plays a very important character, more of a spoiler so not delving into that so much. She is a rich business woman and she later becomes a good friend of FL, not a rival.

Today 5 episodes.
From 7th March to 15 March- 2 episodes per day.
From 16th March to 20th March- 1 episode per day.
21st and 22nd March- 2 episodes per day.
From 23rd March to 30th March- 1 episode per day.
They have not declared express schedule, but it should be 25th or 26th March, that is for the people who pay more and buy express they can watch the last 5-6 episodes together at once.

No redemption, because he never as such believed what he did was wrong. 2 main villains. There are some small ones spread across, but mainly there are two villains one is Qi Min and another is Wei Yan, the uncle of ML. Even the current emperor is a villain.
No such difficult love triangle, there was a admirer of FL but no as such problem. Rest I will dm.

The screenwriter's previous work was Last Summer, which was a disaster as well. Same writer, and I dropped 2 dramas of her. I better check director and writer's previous works from the next time before starting something.

He is against anyone who is in his way to achieve his goal. But as protagonists FL and ML are always against him so, the fight is amongst them.
