Julia

see, that's what happens when a screenwriter picks and chooses what they want and do not want to include from the source material. in the novel, most of their 'relationship' is literally fwb, so it makes sense that zhitao would sleep in the guest room to maintain that distance. here, where they are supposed to be dating, it doesn't make sense.also, in the novel, zhitao is a kicker lol so luan nian would get kicked a lot by her when they slept together lmao

luke the dog is finally here!!!!!!!

I know that it's visual storytelling but it cracks me up that Mariko has been rocking the bob her whole life

the way he behaves now in the drama feels more similar to how he acted in the novel when they reunited and he already went through his character development lmao

i knew that they would make luke nicer but they made him too nice, too quickly lmao how are they going to make the misunderstandings believable when he's like this already lol

the osmanthus milk😭😭😭😭😭😭

in the novel, he's only 6 years older than her. at the beginning she's 22, he's 28. don't know where you got 16 years from lol

yes, he even hired a private investigator to find her, but after contacting her friends (sun yu, i think), he came to a conclusion that she doesn't want him to find her, so he respected her decision and cancelled the investigator.

tbh a lot of things in their relationship were wrong at the time, but the thing that was her "last straw" was when she believed that he gave her a low score when evaluating her application for becoming a higher ranking employee (i don't remember what they called it exactly lol), resulting in her losing that competition. she assumed he was one of the two people that she knew gave her a low score, and when they talked about it, he didn't correct her (even though we later find out that he gave her a perfect score). and no, he didn't know where she was until years later because she changed her number and her parents number too, so he had no way of contacting her.

it's a happy ending in the novel

good to know that we're moving on from one group of very annoying ladies to another group of very annoying ladies........

the audacity of yake is literally making me speechless. like??? if tingyun wasn't saved she would have been dead because of yake's actions. and here she is acting like the ultimate victim??? screw this girl seriously

the ending of episode 7 got me squealing and kicking my feet like a little girl... what a man zhao ling is...........

it really feels like some of you watch dramas just to stare at your favourite actors and don't care about the plot at all. i like ding yuxi and i thought that his screentime in these four (!!!!!) episodes made sense. the initial episodes focused on establishing fl's family dynamic and the characters surrounding it. i do not understand why some people act as if the whole drama barely had yuxi in it. it only started airing. and from where we are in the story right now, it's obvious that he will have more scenes now. hopefully people will now stop complaining about screentime and focus on the actual story being told.

sure, xihe, i'm sure you did all that just to "make him happy once in a while" lol

i'm sorry, i love linghe but this is giving soap opera, and not in a good way sdfkhsdgkhgkh

not the ai-generated intro...................................

after the fight, he tried to expose the Crown Prince's real abilities to the emperor and when that didn't work out the way he intended, he begged the emperor to break CP and Xihe's engagement. in general, he is delusional and thinks that xihe is his wife and so the Crown Prince can't marry her bc HE is already married to her.

can prince xin just die already lmaooo

i think her soul just "waited" for the right opportunity to return - and that opportunity was original xihe dying
