Not sure if you have watched the previews, might want to avoid them for our poor Qin cang's sake 🥲

Thats a really interesting way of thinking about it that I haven't seen mentioned before but also makes a lot of sense.

Yeh 100 percent agree with all you said, like reading a book nothing's ever told all out once, definitely very methodical I agree, good way of putting it.

Oh thats a nice analogy, so true as well very apt description

Personally, one of the reasons I feel this drama is such a breath of fresh from more recent historical cdramas is because of this type of story telling. It's like peeling back an onion, one layer at a time. Patience is key for sure, we won't have all the answers we need immediately, but considering how strong the first half was, I believe we will definitely get the answers we need.

Also it's the waiting and questioning and thinking of different possibilities before we actually find out the answer that makes this type of storytelling so engaging. Gives me the same feel I had watching joy of life.

Hahaha as soon as he's gone, su zuidie appears

I hope it's the same here, I love how in the novel they didn't care and just completely outsmarted her every time like she was no threat at all. I'm sure we'll have some cute jealousy scenes from fl but hopefully nothing that really effects them too much

Are you Chinese also? Your english is so bad it makes me think you're Chinese as well, is english not your first language? Sorry I didn't realize english wasn't your first language. Keep learning you will get better

Please try to learn english first, the amount of typo's and grammatical errors is quite scary

Someone who created their account 2 days ago talking nonsense like this is crazy. I guess you missed the part where since young fl attended lishan academy, the top school in the country to learn her skills. Hating on someone for liking this, calling people brainwashed and low iq is just silly. If you don't like the drama no issues but can't be attacking others for liking it. Anyway clear troll who created their account 2 days ago.

Ep 17 he finds out

I think we'll just have to wait and see, I know dramas can often let us down the further they go on but so far this drama has been really well done so I'm ok with giving it the benefit of the doubt. I think we'll see more of consort Qin soon.

In the novel she was annoying at how much she chased ml and thought she was smart, but she caused no real issue to ml and fl, fl didn't see her as a threat at all, ml and fl literally toyed with her, outsmarting her and she ended up being tortured to death by ml. So she was annoying in how much she tried to manipulate ml, she thought she was so smart, but in the end she was completely out played by ml and fl. She doesn't force ml to marry her she can't.

In the novel she and ml were betrothed since young, but ml never had feelings for her, it was an arranged marriage that he didn't really care about, she ended betraying him and her country. She eventually returns thinking she can manipulate him for her own goals but gets completely played by ml and fl.

I do think on the consort Qin's side we just need to more time. I feel like she will be a pretty complex/interesting character we just need to find out more if that makes sense. I believe as fl has plans to get the edict of her, we'll soon find out more about her as fl starts those plans, at least I hope we do. I feel like this is the type of story where we find out more about the characters as we go on, like I think we'll find out a lot more about marquis, more about empress dowager and more about consort, as they slowly become the focus of the ml and fl.

Yeh no I agree as well, I'm pretty sure master Zhu is dead/not real, it's her own skills. Like when she fainted from the snakes we saw a bamboo stick that was used to kill the snake next to her and like her senior brother said master Zhu would use a sword not a stick. Also from previews we'll see more of her sword skills in ep 20 which she then says were master Zhu's doing so I agree for sure

Thanks and oh yeh very true totally forgot that yeh as of now marquis has all the power to investigate so can block pretty much everyone to investigate very good point as well

To be fair I did think so as well but seems like she still had some hope, I feel like she seems noble and arrogant but she's still young and first love and all that can be pretty strong but I hope at least from now with everything thats happened in ep 19 she's woken up, especially when we see his eventual return I hope she doesn't fall into the same pattern again

Oh very true, I do remember her being shocked, I forgot about her mentioning calculating events though, maybe he was a part of her plan to get the edict from consort dowager or something else, so she needs him involved for some reason, we'll see. Thats why I do love the drama so far, like we don't get all the answers at once but so far, we always do end up getting the answer.

Hahaha same here

Btw this could mean absolutely nothing and is probably just some fun talk between co-stars, but I found this on x, the actress for Ye Ying replied to bai lu both acting as their characters, Ye Ying said she won't be tricked by 2ml again, she only pretended to be mesmerized and it was only part of her plan.

Again probably just some fun talk between co-stars but who knows maybe hinting that ye ying herself is growing up and has her own plans coming up
