Main lead story line is cute, I wish the story had focused just on them.
I don't really understand why modern C-dramas love to include second or third couples that seem like fillers. If you skip their scenes, you will enjoy this series.
The simplicity of this drama is so beautiful. Even the acting is natural and not exaggerated.
I have to say that the women actresses are all beautiful. From the queen dowager, consort, princesses and even those from other lands. Im loving it! We are half way and the story is still so interesting. I’m more scared of ye li than MXY!
Ye Li got imaginary friend as well as several split personalities too?
I think so too. The master whom she claimed kept on saving her, I think thats her other persona. Maybe that personality comes out when she’s in life and death situation. Because she doesn’t seem to remember that she can fight after.
And the foundation for how she could read all of his moves is so well-established as well. You just can't put…
Yes! I love that detail as well. Showed us how close they were when they were little and it’s sad what happened to them.
This is also what made this drama different. Usually it’s the ML who figures out everything immediately. But in this, the FL and SML are in sync with their schemes. I also enjoy how the ML would catch up, it shows us a different POV and that he is also brilliant.
This is just getting better and better. Each episode feels 20 min everytime. This is so well written. Even the marquis.. i know he’s the bad guy but I love that they also showed us that he is kind to his sons. Made him more human as opposed to just your typical bad guy. Every episode gave us new mystery to unravel and discover something new about each characters. The ML is the greenest flag. Can’t wait for him to discover the the warrior side of his wife. He truly has a lot to deal with. Lol
Does anyone know if Lin Mu Ran’s character is significant in the story? We know so far that ye li saved him before. After the accident of ye li he just disappeared again. Is he going to pair up with the sister?
MXY spending time with his wife because he thinks she only lost her maid. Imagine when he finds out the she lost her clan and live alone. Anyone would go mad after that. 😭
Wow, this is getting truly captivating! I didn’t even realize I had finished episode 15 already. I love how each episode reveals something new and exciting.
Ye Li stands out as a very unique female lead character. I'm so glad Bai Lu is playing her, coz she's perfect for the role.
I appreciate the subtlety in the storytelling and how it keeps the plot full of surprises. You can never fully trust what everyone says because actions speak louder than words. Everyone wears a facade, even the queen dowager. She’s evil, yet sometimes shows a softer side, as if she’s unsure about what really happened in the academy, and maybe just doing what a ruler must to stabilize the dynasty.
I'm also intrigued by all the characters. Everyone seems to have an agenda. I don’t even dislike the SML in this story. He's been a victim too. He was weak and just a child when he lost everything. I hope one day he’ll learn to love ye lis’ sister and let Ye Li go.
I really like the ML here. Sometimes he feels like a side character, but they've crafted him into someone FL can truly rely on. You feel disappointed when he’s upset and happy when he smiles. He’s calm, intelligent, and not your typical unbeatable hero. We see what he's been through, and it’s clear you want him to find happiness.
Crown Prince died so there was no officially elected heir to the throne...Current Dowager was the Empress at that…
Which is also weird for me. I feel like his father as the crown prince should’ve already established himself and gained the majority court support. Unless he was also disliked as the crown prince. Btw, the queen dowager actress is really beautiful. First time seeing her in a drama.
I have a question for novel readers: if the second male lead was the son of the late crown prince, why didn't he inherit the throne? Why is the queen dowager so powerful that she seems to have control over everything, and why was there no war before the next emperor took the throne?
It’s so nice seeing MXY’s POV. It was shown nicely. It broke my heart when they showed that YL was talking to herself. I love both leads so far. I hope they get a proper revenge.
Unpopular opinion: I'm just not feeling the hype for this one. The romance lacks chemistry, the characters feel…
As someone loving this, yup the plot is mid. Lol
But if you need to watch a feel good romcom, with beautiful people and unrealistic setting that makes your heart flutter, makes you smile like you’re crazy, with that old kdrama vibe, this is it!
It has that forget reality moments in it. That’s why it’s popular😉

I hope this will be consistent til the end.
Btw, the queen dowager actress is really beautiful. First time seeing her in a drama.
Imagine if the grand prince is ugly and just standing there doing nothing. Lol

I don’t even know this actress, but even beside IU, she stands out.
