I think that I was wrong about exile and your getting away sounds good. Thank you.

Yeonwi Chamber looks run down from the outside. We first see it thru some leaves. There are dried vines hanging from the eves. In the after scene, there are leaves on the ground. The pond and bushes above the wall are not well maintained. There seems not to be any attendants around. The other palace maids chose to bully and abandon her there.

The knife commercial mentioned being a palace maid. She knew Chinese by mastering the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The previews for the next episode shows him shooting an arrow at her and later her bowing before his chamber and nether locations look run down. So it appears that she knows him before she became a consort. Did the Emperor choose break them apart? Was her power the reason then and will it be a source of danger now? Thank you.

Tastes are subjective. Hope you find something that you can enjoy. Thank you and take care.

Me, too.

Lots of good thinking there. Thank you.
I wonder if what sent the past ML to the exile house also caused her to be sold as a slave. Same household? Maybe that is why Court Lady Kim supported her. But she didn't recognize the current ML and she met him with the mask but did not show recognition. Take care.

Tastes are subjective. I'm enjoying it. She is a mixture of entitlement and pluck. She did run away after being sold as a slave. We don't know where she acquired her martial arts skill or what her family was like. I suspect she was connected with the ML with the scar and mask. and what landed him in that exile house was also the reason why she was sold as a slave. I can re-watch her scenes and still laugh or sympathize. and her eyes.... expressive in a funny way. anyway, hope that you can find a drama that you like. This is about the only drama that I am currently following after Pursuit of Jade. Take care.

Reflecting after viewing the whole episode 2. That quarter mask really didn't hide his face, but there had to be a reason why she didn't immediately recognize him. (just like if they later show her riding a horse in the past, riding in the car shouldn't make her uncomfortable) Seems that she meets the ML while a maid of the palace and before she became Royal Consort Hui. But it looks like the ML is the reason why she was accused of adultery. In the past Mundo is the Emperor and the ML might be the legitimate ruler. Perhaps she had used her power to protect him from assassination and because of her power needed to be taken out. In the present she knows that the Emperor had her killed, but not why or that he is plotting against the ML in the present.

Just starting to watch ep. 2. To comment on your post, she is an independent woman in a traditional society, and I also think that someone high up wanted her dead. You see in ep. 2 that she faced many assassination attempts and has a sixth sense to avoid them. I think that you are right in that she was falsely accused, but I suspect the nephew Mundo might be someone she knew. (She doesn't recognize the ML, so he must be someone secondary in the past) Possibly Mundo is the guy whose face we can't see. He might be villain in the past and in the present.
I'm not bothered that she wants to use the ML to survive. It replicates her past history and others in the harem. And to tell the truth there are many women that use their spouses to throw their weight around. And suck ups do the same for men. Thank you. Back to the drama.

Pretty good. She's not really a villainess though.

Rewatched this because I enjoyed it.

Li Ge Yang was the ML in Dominion and Devotion. (2025) Well regarded mini-drama and 2ML in In Blossom (2024) He was good in that. Eleanor Lee was the FL in My Love Enlighten me (2020) I enjoyed that one. Plucky heroine. And the lead in Fake Princess (2020) and the 2FL in Why is He Still Single (2025) Enjoyable.

She rescues him covered in snow then when she gets a good look at him, she straightened her posture. Ep. 1.

OK.

Gongsun Yin and Qi Shu, the Princess Royal. The fourth couple was Sui Yuan Qing and Shi San Nian

Happy ending. For the main couple and the sentimental third couple.

Knew that he was the end game, so I liked him from the beginning. And he is more than just a sheltered man child. He was impressed by her way of playing the pipa, Not taken by her beauty.

Ep. 17 4:56.

At the end, it is in Winter and Qi Menglin lives in semi exile in a small town. His former servant Lian Shu has been bought by Luo Shu and still helps him. He keeps a small household while Luo Shu travels as a businesswoman. She arrives in the town and they hug.

Yes. A HE. Details below.

True, but it should be a clue the someone's backstory is more important than you have been lead to believe. And the wolf attack lead to the missing shoe and like an onion, layers of info come out. And not so obvious, but after you watch ep. 37 (35:05) you might think what happened then can be traced back that chance encounter in ep. 11.
