Youku and Iqiyi isn't the same thing! Almost any popular drama in Youku crosses 10k its very simple for that platform! Every platform has different success rates. 9000 crossing in Iqiyi is considered a super hit, and if it crosses 10k its a blockbuster, every year there's hardly one or two dramas that crosses it. Even ADWAD despite its immense popularity crossed 9500 only.
For wetv, its hit to be above 20k, super hit if above 24k, and 30k is a miracle too!
So its not the same thing!

I will give you an example. Today this drama achieved 300 million views. But it hasn't crossed 9.5k yet. Unveil Jadewind crossed 10k 3 days back, but it achieved 300 million views 4 hours later than that of How Dare You. So you get the picture!

What I know through X, some fanclubs posted-
1. It crossed 9000 heat index in Iqiyi, hence a hit.
2. Its market share is currently at 13.8% that is in the second place! Its a good thing.
3. Advertisements increased after airing!
4. They are also trending in weibo many days!
5. They crossed 300 million views.

So ig its doing well!

15 years, he has been in the novel world for 15 years!
He was just a puppet emperor. He has no power, even if he tries to do something, its not supported! He is tired of even trying. He at that point of time doesn't want to survive as much before FL comes! Also, he really doesn't care, he is alone, he is traumatized by a lot of stuff you will see from ep 10 to 20, they will answer all questions! FL changes things for him, he begins caring for the Empire.
ML had actually told his head eunuch to report to him if any of his concubines are acting weird. If eunuch reported that to him, he would ask to meet her. This is because the only plot he knew was a female transmigrator in form of his concubine. So when FL entered, I think he deliberately said the modern slang! This was said in the novel from which they adapted the drama, I remember reading this scene.
So either the drama will show it later, otherwise not, because they had to cut a lot of episodes!

For me the doctor's case was weirdest because- Firstly I really believe just because all those people were impartial to Ying, that doesn't mean they deserved death. Secondly, yes corpses can be cut to study, but she could ask for permission, she saved prince and FL, FL could have requested on her behalf! How can she illegally do an autopsy of a dead body without the permission of the dead's person's family! That was such a bad scene, there is no respect for the dead body! Ying's master in the palace was such a good man who was never impartial always good to her, he was killed because he wanted to report the truth? Ying knew Pei yu was crazy, still she allowed everything. The fact is she agreed to take any steps to reach her goal, she liked the fact that Pei yu did everything for her!
The fact that FL turned the entire thing in the court into a weird feminism speech- If they were not impartial, they wouldn't have died! What the hell was that? They could have done this case way better. I had no sympathy for either Pei yu or Ying! I was a little relieved when Ying died, I cannot take such a person to save lives anymore! Ambition is great, saving lives definitely but to be an absolute freak for that, oh my God!

Right! Honestly all the cases were weird, saying its the only good case, its not an exaggeration! The one of all the women in the brothel, I felt bad for all the women there, but they all died! Like most of the times, in the cases all the victims are dying so it doesn't even make much sense, like yes people can say justice is served, but there is no one to enjoy that.
But this is the first case, where I am like yes, justice is served. The person who killed them did the right thing. From now the women won't be tortured, the kid and FL's aunt can have a better life! I hope they have good cases like this for the rest two cases, and FL's past case as well!

Yes if they have different surnames, then probably cousins!

Exactly my question.

I think its 15 years back that us why she doesn't remember. Her trauma erased stuff. I think she remembers soon, there was a scene where she held a sword to ML's neck.

I completely understand you. Poor Dan has went through so much maybe no amount of love can be enough for him. From what I remember today's scene of FL going to protect ML, another scene in maybe ep 28 after the letter, and another scene after she becomes the empress are the scenes where FL protects ML. But they even cut 8 episodes from 40 to 32, so I cannot say. I hope you don't get disappointed.

The latest case is my favourite one. Really nice topic, really well done. The previous one with the doctors was disappointing for me, Ik lot of people liked it but I did find it a little weird, also did not have any sympathy for Ying and Pei yu.
But the latest case is really nice!

I think he just didn't want Yan people to kill her, because then the peace talks couldn't go through, Duan and common people would be against the peace talks with a country who killed their Empress Dowager.
Also its better ML kills her himself for everything she did to him.
But yes during that scene even I was like why did you have to save her, let her die! Lol, she makes everyone's blood boil.

Yes just after she reads the letter. ML actually sends her away when she is sleeping. He would fight with Duan, might perish hence he sends her away. She wakes up reads the letter where ML tells her not to come back and live a good life and not to hate him. She goes back fights a war with him for him. Even if they go by the novel, its FL who finds the cure for his poison. She for sure loves him a lot. But for ML she was his lifeline as he had said earlier, he had waited 15 years for her so yes it was evident he loved her more. But even in today's episode FL could easily send guards but she came herself to protect ML, so for sure she loved him enough as well.

Those things happen because assaulters are alive for ML to burn them. The concubine who did it, was killed after giving birth. Step mother is dying tomorrow. Who should FL burn? FL and ML at that point defeat Duan, FL understands him, doesn't mind his lies. But everything is a done deal by then.
Also because they are following the novel, they have to do the scene when according to the novel. Novel had it pretty late as well, so yeah.

Someone on X posted, that our leads are going to start dating from Valentine's Day, and now I cannot unsee it! These two make me so happy!!

In ep 27 there is a letter emoji. In the novel, Dan wrote to her about his lies via that letter. So I guess its then! But I don't remember him mentioning he was SA in that letter. He wrote about his pain a little. I guess FL understood on her own, it was not explicitly said! We have to see what the drama shows!

Yes!

This isn't just me right? Huaijin told her he became an astronomer because of a promise he made to an old friend. She seemed a little displeased and looked away, and he smiled at her. Am I wrong to think that old friend is FL? They clearly knew each other in childhood! She just forgot a lot of stuff maybe due to her trauma!

Yes she is always a 2D character, but she doesn't know that! The plot when it starts might feel a little complicated, but as you go through episodes, it isn't that complex. Because you just started I am giving you a heads up! All your questions will be answered from ep 10 onwards! Enjoy!!

Dan didn't know Tuer was there. Tuer wasn't supposed to be part of the envoy. He thought the envoy was real, by the time he knew envoy was fake was Yan's prince is present here, it was late. Also there were peace talks 3 days later, Dan didn't know Yan people would come to Mount Bei.

2D characters are characters of the book, who are not real people! Yonger is a 2D character, but she transmigrated in a book. Its like ML and FL are from the real world, they are real transmigrators. In their world, the book they read, had the plot of a girl transmigrating into a book, like this is plot of the book, Yonger is that girl, hence she did transmigrate but she is still a 2D character. She thinks her world is real but it isn't. Its like a novel within a novel!
ML and FL are not clear themselves about other people being transmigrators, what I told you is what we know by ep 20, but in the initial episodes, ML and FL along with the audience were confused by it.
Yonger is still alive in the latest episodes we have watched. The drama is adapted from a novel, in that novel Yonger dies, but its not as of now!
