Episode 31:
"You think i look down on merchants? What about you?"
"I look down on everyone. But i have respect for money."
had me laughing for a good 5 minutes how is this ridiculous couple so funny.

I LOVE that hallway it's just so vibrant and full of light!! Although we have seen only a few seconds of it, i also loved the hallway in the Fu mansion with the beautiful flowers on the side.

Something that stood out to me straight away in the beggining was how beautiful the sets were. The Ji house, Chen family house/CYY office, Gu house i loved them all it really helped me become more immersed in the show.

I’m so excited too, the last episodes are going to be such a fun roller coaster of emotions!

Unfortunately I haven’t found anyone that has translated the full clip either but there is the original full one on Reddit if it might give some context.

Although my guess is that on the battlefield YX dies, while CYY is captured and tortured but everyone presumes he’s dead which is why GJZ was wearing that black robe.

Yh I thought that too unless they suddenly decide to be generous but that’s just not likely. oh well I’ll just have to wait until 28th to binge watch the show then :(

I know only mangotv has released schedule for express package but really hoping iqiyi or wetv do one as well i am not giving mangotv any of my money for such poor quality subs.

kisskh is using mangotv susbs so its imminenet to be crap but ever since i've found goplay.su it's the only one i use since they take directly from the streaming websites. i found safari doesn't run the website very well but if you use firefox or chrome it should be fine.

for this show you can choose to watch from the Viki, IQIYI or WeTV servers although i do think Viki is the best, but since it's 2 episodes behind, the next best option would be WeTV.

Oh i'm very glad to hear that i'd already been planning to watch Story of ming lan but hadn't had the time till recently so it's probably what i'll be watching next. I first saw a clip of ming lan being heavily pregnant and going out with a sword to get a doctor for her friend who was in labour and from that alone i knew it was a show i HAVE to watch!

Oh i love the FL so much as well and it's also my first show seeing her in! The way i can feel how GJZ love differs for every male lead is just amazing! Ren Min is perfect for the role and i have no issues with her acting. The costume and makeup suit her here so much too!

Also didn't expect to have so many kiss scenes in this show. I mean it makes sense they had already kissed, hugged and held hands even before getting married so the wedding night felt more natural and less awkward in a way.

ep29 was sooooo delicious i feel like i could watch it over and over again!!!!

CXQ actually needs to get a grip! She liked him 3 years ago and that was only becuase she thought he saved her, then ghosted her. She hasn't thought of him once in the last few years so why does he think she suddenly would now, not to mention he's engaged too?? He made his choice 3 years ago and so did she. Like why does he think he has the right to be upset about anything and try to put GJZ in such a difficult and awkward position!?!? Leave her alone you weirdo!

Luckily this is my first time seeing this actress so all i can think about now is how cute she is, but yes I think now that they're married we'll see a lot more interactions between the sisters-in-law.

I adore the Chen Yan Ying so much!!!! I wished we could've been introduced to her even earlier and the way she loves refering to GJZ as he sister-in-law so cute!!!

slowly catching up with the episodes from ep20 and omg there is nothing but evil behind FHL's eyes. YY is trying to stay ambigous about his marriage ambitions but FHL already looks like hes scheming something.

Also GL character development is so interesting to me I hope they keep the sister bond strong between them for the rest of the show.

I wonder that if they had released the final trailers with similar themes to the the first trailer (that I could only find on reddit for some reason) then people would be more aware going into it that it's a politics and family feud driven drama as much as it is about romance. (https://www.reddit.com/r/CDrama/comments/1t27gor/a_splendid_match_liang_chen_mei_jin_良陈美锦_from/).

The trailer better showed how the drama was sort of split into 3 parts: Gu family drama, Main leads falling in love/marriage and their involvement in court politics after marriage. Compared to the final trailers you can find on YouTube which focus on who the FL will marry out of the 3 pursuits making it seem like that is the whole central point of the show even though it's only like a 1/3 which could be a bit misleading for some if that's all they expected. The romance also doesn't begin in the novel until after almost 200 chapters so I didn't expect the romance to be rushed in the show either.

Personally I'm enjoying all the parts and characters in the show. It's also why I prefer longer shows because it allows the writers and viewers to spend more time seeing the FL go through experiences which shape her view of the world and of what she wants for herself. I like the acting, especially how consistent the characters are in their personalities and decisions. Like of course she isn't going to say yes to the MLs proposal overnight because that's just not who she is or how she makes decisions. The characters are definitely the strongest point of the show.

I got reminded of pride and prejudice the other day and when I reached the episode where he helps her brother and upkeep the family reputation, in some ways Yan Yun reminded me of MrDarcy. I imagine soon we'll also see others questioning why she'd want to marry him when everyone knows him as this serious, intimidating and cold court official. But their reasons for marrying will only mater to each other and it makes me so excited to see it in the future episodes!!

Totally agree with the friendship dynamic between Jin Zhao and Ye Xian especially since they're quite close in age. Although ive seen others say they pity him I just can't stop myself from hating him after being so carless towards the FL and hurting not just emotionally but physically too. He is an incredibly manipulative and selfish person who I see no character development for honestly. Other than princess Wanning from The Double, most of the time I am unable to feel sympathy for a character or villain who repeatedly hurts those around them for the sake of their own self satisfaction.

Didn't really have much problem with the FL as much as I did with the lack of direction and objective in the script.

If you’re referring to intimate scenes there aren’t any like the best thing or pursuit of jade, there’s 5 kiss scenes and they are very touchy with each other.
