This drama is interesting and exciting. Great chemistry. The whole cast is engaging.

It’s not too bad. It’s gotten really interesting at ep 6. Fast-paced. Charming FL. Angsty ML. His face is inscrutable—he plays it cool, but he’s very observant and maneuvers a lot. He’s not simple at all.

Correct, the groom selection ceremony happens in ep 10, I believe.

The plot and chemistry here are a bit more engaging, totally different vibe—heavier, more fast-paced. There’s going to be more angst here and, it appears, conniving power plays between architect rivals with the FL caught in between. This drama isn’t perfect though. It hasn’t completely got me hooked. But, I am mildly intrigued. I’m still waiting to see the ML’s charm though. He’s too dry for my taste, never smiles. But, he’s observant though and a good listener—so he’s earned a few points in my book. He is also a fast mover—has already taken her out on a “date” under the guise of “we’re working.” Yeah, right, that’s all you’re doing hehehe 😏😏. The FL is thoroughly charming—love her.

Yes, there will be growth and character development.

He murders people when they interfere with his agenda. But, he has the appearance of a frail, pedantic scholar. So, they don’t see it coming. He’s that kind of red flag.

This needs a spoiler cover please.

No, one of the suitors.

The way she invited him into her boudoir conveys her feelings for him. If he were not someone she liked, she would have found other means to deal with him.

Great commentary! However, it makes sense to me that RSB is still on edge, probably more so, since leaving the mansion. She has a whole new set of worries—surviving on her own without the Rong backing, and, at the same time, working behind the scenes to ensure her family does not falter despite this current divide. Her personality wouldn’t change overnight just because she’s left the mansion. But to your point, a little of change in her demeanor would have been refreshing and would add some dimension.

I loved that moment too 😂😄

Nothing developing? Plenty is developing. The inevitable change of power in the Rong Family and a new way of running the Rong Family, different from Granny’s tyrannical regime, are what’s developing. RSB is just biding time, awaiting the appropriate moment to reveal the true traitors of her family. How RSB heals the rifts in her family—that’s what is developing.

True, the romance in “Story of Minglan” was not romantic at all. I couldn’t even tell when/if they ever started liking each other. The clever FL and all the schemes of her sister and household are what is similar to “Glory.”

yes, she’s Hu Xiu, btw, he knows they are the same person

The trailers indicate that this will get dark and angsty. This isn’t a fluffy romance.

Well, they are in Cold War right now. So, of course, they aren’t going to be lovey-dovey at the moment. She’s mad at him for “betraying” her family when really he was just serving justice on the despicable Yangs. RSB understands this, but has to maintain appearances because of that oath she made to Grandma. RSB and LJL are still crazy about each other. When they finally get together again, I just know it will be fire 🔥.

Ok, then, yes, FL knows that Xiao Yu (Xiao Zhi Yu) is the general in the VR game. She’s figured it out. The translation I see is General Qin, but same thing.

She was the stylish and kind grandmother in “You Are My Destiny.”

You mean “Hu” Xiu, the FL? Who is Chen Xiao Yi? I don’t recall that name from the first four episodes. Xiao Yu is the ML, right?

I hope not. But, there’s definitely something going on with him. 😔
