In the novel, the mother died when she was 13 years old. She was engaged to Prnce Fu Yunxi, a brother to the reigning…
I agree. In the novel, the mother was soft, weak, powerless, and died. In the drama, she's strong and ruthless. I love the drama mom. I love the idea of mother-daughter join hands and take down the villains.
Ep 4Oh my god... A morally grey man who is dangerous and is a single FATHER??? And he have a daughter? And it's…
FL was betrothed to ML before they were borned. Then FL was sent away. So her oldest half-sister took her place. But she (the big sister) died from a poison meant for the ML. They have a daughter, but according to some viewers, the little girl was adopted. Meaning ...... he could still be a virgin :D
Why don't you like the ML? Not pretty enough? I like faces like ML's 🤣
I agree to everything you say here about the ML. You're right on point about his character. He's such a grey character who doesn't play by the book. His moral standing is in the grey area, eg. he commits crimes even he knows it's illegal. But that's the whole point about these grey characters. Their mantra is, "when you go low, I go lower". This applies to the FL as well, as she's also a grey character. She has tried to kill him, just because she doesn't want him to leak her secret. So for me, I can't hate the ML because that's the intrigue about the story. Unlike the perfect MLs in many dramas, our ML here is not perfect and full of flaws, as well as the FL-- and that's why they are the OTP.
I don't understand: Chen MoMo saw the hankie was given to Zhuang Yu Shan. Why did Ruan Xi Wen still used it with no suspicion and Chen MoMo didn't throw it out or wash it first? Even Fu Yun Xi could smell something wrong with the hankie, why didn't Ruan Xi Wen or the Princess notice it?
why is she book smart if it seems like her “foster parents” didn’t treat her well? did they still teach…
Also I believe it could be a gene thing. Both her parents were scholars. Her mom was said to be ultra intelligent. Her maternal grandpa was the dean of the Hanlin Academy.
not familiar with the leads, is the acting good? i can't handle bad acting
Acting is decent. There are worse. Story is great. Script is not bad. Both main characters are not your normal nice and kind characters. They are manipulative and very grey.
Just watched episode 13, can someone explain in detail how fu yun xi planned all this from the beginning, female…
FYX knows ZHY killed her foster parents, but he didn't arrest her. Instead he returns the only evidence, her hair pin, to her. With this knowledge, he uses it to, kind of, blackmail her to give him information on what has been transpired between her mother and Yuwen Chang An who was her mother's lover before she married to the current husband.
Apparently the mother also found out that the downfall of the Ruan family (her mother's family) could be related to the husband, ZHY being sent away from birth, her mother's maimed legs etc, are all committed by the father. So she hated him biggly.
Now all her mother's nastiness towards ZHY is just an act to deter her not to come home. She (the mother) is planning some thing and doesn't want the daughter to get hurt. So far so good?

Don't take it too seriously, I was just teasing. Yes, I agree, he could be stiff at times. Until now, we still don't know who was responsible for his wife's death. We stipulated earlier that Zhuang Shi Yang tried to poison him but killed his own daughter instead. Probably he knows Zhuang Shi Yang is the villain, his concubine and children are bad too, so he has no qualms when they were to be executed as long as Zhuang Han Yan survives. As for Ruan Xi Wen, she was adamant to bring down everyone except her own daughter, there's nothing much Fu Yun Xi could do. What do you think of this explanation?
