Xaio Jue using the "she's my beloved" excuse is pulled from the novel - and in the novel this was actually…
In the novel, the king never wanted to kill He Yan. ML told emperor that because she was his woman/his love he kept her with him disguised as a man but later she showed immense bravery and learnt military skills. Because he had told it to the emperor way back before anybody else knew, emperor wasn't angry and even issued a marriage decree.
My perspective on why ML emphasized on He Yan being his love was, her background could be checked. For a woman to learn those skills at that time was weird. Especially because in the novel, there was a rebirth story. The old He Yan was now in the body of a new He Yan who was a daughter of a normal palace guard. She grew up in the capital and all her family & neighbours knew her, she was just a simple woman. No one would believe she learnt millitary skills. That's why it was easier to say she was Xiao Jue's love interest and later learnt military when she lived in the garrison with him.
The drama blended both of it. So I think they took the same stance as in the novel.
Might be, the battle in ep 35 and the wedding 15 mins before the ending . ✌🏻😂
Yeah, and how XJ was completely cool because he trusted her and he even waited in the gate looking for her when she came back. Such nice scenes. But they are not showing that, they would show He Yan and XJ fighting together in that white-black robes, which is cool too.
There have been hints of CZ going down this route in a few episodes
Yeah I hope this scene gets recreated and that's when Xiao Jue punches him. Can't wait. But in the novel, after his Chu Zhao did not try to pursue He Yan or do anything else. He just focused on his political goals. I hope they show the same in the drama too. EP 34 preview seems strange.

In the novel the battle is after the wedding. I wanted it that way too. Plus in the novel, they did not fight together, their troops were at different places. I am glad they are showing fighting together in the drama, but it would be better if they are husband & wife by then. But the probability of what you said being true is higher than what I expect.
All the comments tlking about XJ and HY Kiss / Confession. But here i am still thinking about HY telling CZ about…
In the novel, they were cousins not step siblings. In the drama, they depicted them as step siblings. I also did not understand step brother not related by blood. I think there is a translation error.

True. But the love triangle doesn't matter, because our leads are officially together. But I don't understand the delusion of him being dragged on, like when did he even think that He Yan liked him. He should just focus on being his own goals.
It's been seen in several episodes that he's obsessed with He Yan. Furthermore, he already pledged infront of…
Yes he did. But he did not betray the country. At least not in the novel. His character always had a backstory. He wanted justice for his mother that was his prime goal. He was bullied in his house. Only by being the disciple of Chanc Xu, he could rise to a particular level. He fell in love and got rejected. In the novel, his character did not go complete evil, but in the drama, I don't know because his outburst in ep 34 is strange.

Yeah I heard rumours of him trying to break of the marriage between the leads. Also there is a scene of Xiao Jue punching CZ so maybe he does something improper.

Yeah that's a wish. Being obsessed or being in love is one thing, people can move from there, until they do something evil. From my perspective, he has not done something evil till now. We don't know about the upcoming episodes though. There is an upcoming scene where Xiao Jue punches Chu Zhao so maybe he actually does something improper.
Ep 29 and 30 were too good! Kiss scenes, love confession, palace politics were all to the point. The sword fighting, the aura oh my god! I just don't understand why they need to butcher Chu Zhao's character. Yes, he has been a little irritating but he has not betrayed the country, its people. He has liked He Yan but not taken up any evil intention to make her his wife (till now). They should just show him supporting He Yan and Xiao Jue against He Rufei and Chanc Xu. He can be a good friend and just move on with his maid.
