I don't think he's necessarily jealous, just wary of XH's feelings towards JL since for them to succeed in their plan, they have to be ruthless and possibly sacrifice pawns, like JL.

Same. Their part was really good though, so I kinda skipped through to get to it.

We don't know. I guess the people controlling how many episodes coming out decided to be weird.

It'll air tomorrow. We only got ep 29 today.

Yep. Without the emperor's favor, she's nothing. I think that's the only way that she could possibly beat JL, but the emperor also has some reason to side with JL since she's XH's pawn.

I wanted JSR to be dead, but her going insane isn't bad either. I'm glad that it's pretty much implied that the grandmother and father know that JL was innocent in the incident where she supposedly pushed JSR off the stairs and made her lose her baby.

SYR's mother is making me mad. I know she wanted to tell him to not piss Wanning off by saying that their current lifestyle comes from her support, but she legit just ignored all the work SYR put in. If SYR hadn't done well in his exams and been able to go to court, Wanning wouldn't have even known he existed and they wouldn't have her support. It's also even more maddening because XFF was the one who supported SYR the most when he was prepping for his exams.

Yes, I hope the drama does not gloss over that. It would be stupid if the father didn't know about all of the horrid things she's done. It would also definitely help finally get revenge for JL and the father needs to be punished for being blinded by his wife.

I don't even know. I guess he's blinded by love?

ep 30-34

Honestly, he and JSR are both crazy people. I feel like it was just a plot device to make things even more dramatic and get Tong Er killed.

I'm watching the Tale of Rose and Jade's Fateful Love, which are both currently airing. I recommend Scent of Time. It has a similar feel to The Double in that it is also a story where something bad happens to FL and she has sort of a 'second chance' and WXY is also the ML.

I'm enjoying it so far and definitely helping with the pain of waiting for the double episodes, so yes！

Yes, according to the schedule. https://mydramalist.com/photos/jQxWqr_3

Yea, they aren't directly related so lineage-wise, they aren't as close. It's also pretty typical in historical dramas to be at odds with those who aren't your direct family. Another thing is that JL is ruining all their plans, so that's also why they are trying to get back at JL.

I think it's implied that he does. I'm pretty sure he expelled the stepmother and we see a shot of her maid getting pulled. I think he's also just in disbelief that she also killed his first wife, so maybe he hasn't exactly fully accepted that yet.

I'm thinking that it was a month or two before the FL's return to JL's house from the dead.

Yea, she did say that, but right when they rescue Magistrate Xue and corner Feng Yutang, she directly calls her Magistrate Xue 'father'. And I believe her third uncle was at the scene when it happened. Maybe he didn't hear her or something.

Yea, I don't think I saw anything about her third uncle questioning her identity. I'm not sure what happened, but it is a bit weird that it was never brought up since there were multiple times when she wasn't discreet about her identity.

The episodes aren't out yet, but when they are, you can watch them on kisskh for free
