Calm down. I was not rude so no need to attack me.
First, I thought your comment was about Dilreba age as if she was younger than Wu Lei, it's why I corrected you about her year of birth.
Second, I LOVE Dilreba and I have absolutely no issue with her age. My review, on the contrary, said she was convincing as a young girl even if she's not a teenage girl and that Wu Lei seemed to be older in a lot of scenes, which was great because we believed in him being older and more experienced than her. I'm glad they chose her to play this character and glad it worked so well on screen.
My review only acclaims Dilreba so a little more discernment in the future please, it's obvious I don't dislike her.

The next time, please, be more careful when you comment. I assume you may have saw people being mean about old young romance but you don't have to come at everyone throat without a clear message stating mean things.
Thanks.

Dilraba's born in 1992 whole Wu Lei' in 1999. She's 7 years older.

I thought that at first but, apparently, it will be CSS's twin who'll tell him before his exile then her father at LBY's return. I prefer that. It's more impactful if it comes from her family.

Oh, it would be heartbroken to see him learning that right before going to exile. Thanks for anwering me x)

Thanks for the answer! I'm not ready for the sad part but it's good to know LBY will be aware of what happened.

Apparently CSS will get sick and almost die after LBY's revenge. Will he know about this or will he never know?

Can someone who has read the novel explain something to me please:

The term adoptive is used because LBY was taken in and brought up in the palace until he came of age. He is considered the Emperor's 11th child ((that's why everyone calls him "Eleventh Young Master") and a member of the Imperial family. The Emperor and Empress act as his elders and/or parents in certain things and he has several privileges. But, he is not legally adopted. He does not bear their name, does not have the title of prince or the right to an imperial inheritance. He has more the role of a ward, in the eyes of the law even if, in practice, he is an adopted son.
I hope that helps you.

I see, thanks!
From the trailer, maybe they'll accusés CSS father of treason, deserting with soldiers. It will explain why the whole family will be sent to jail.

The episodes were very interesting and raised the tension a notch. We are finally approaching the revenge and it shows.
I really liked seeing ShaoShang leading her investigation and count by taking small steps (her dress seems to really hold her back from walking properly haha).
But most importantly, these episodes highlighted that the Emperor tends to be lenient with families who have helped him, that Consort Yue is more aware than her husband of the hatred that gnaws at LBY's heart, and, finally, that LBY seems to have made a terrible decision in regard to his revenge. Like Consort Yue, I was chilled when he said that unlike her brother's crimes, some people's crimes cannot be amended.
Consort Yue was amazing in this episode. I appreciated that, just by her look or the tone of her voice, we could identify her intentions and thoughts. She loves her brother but despises his actions and can't/will not protect him for his crimes. She doesn't want him dead but doesn't want LBY either, out of rage, to go mad at not being able to avenge his family. Therefore, even if it costs her, she is ready to let her brother die to allow LBY to get revenge and finally let go of the hatred that binds his heart. And hats off to the actress for succeeding in showing us this dilemma and this fear both of LBY and for LBY. When she calls General Huo "brother Huo" we also feel how much he meant to her to the point that for his memory, she seeks justice even at the sake of her own family.

What was General Wang story in the novel please?

I have a question:
If he knows his "father" is his real father's murderer, why is he still investigating as if he doesn't know who was behind his family's downfall?

The Emperor doesn't know this, otherwise he wouldn't force LBY to go to his "father" from time to time to be filial. This is LBY's secret.
And yes, he treats his aunt as his mother because he had to. To survive and get revenge, he had to pretend to be his cousin. He is even forced to call his real father "uncle". Also, despite being his aunt, she protected him with her life while she was grieving for their family and her son. It's not a big deal to call her "mother".

The trailer for episode 46 suggests that revenge will not be long in coming and I can see next week ending on revenge, leaving us several days waiting for the next episodes.

in view of the trailers, the revenge will take place in episode 48 (so the last episode of next week). Therefore, there will only be 8 episodes left to describe the following of the revenge, the consequences, the 5-year jump in time, the return and the reconciliation.
I don't know if it's enough or not... I want to see LBY struggling to win back CSS, I want to see him realize his mistake and sincerely improve. And I want to see CSS genuilly accept him back.

Question about the passing of the story:

I'm also waiting to see how the drama will handle this. I sincerely hope his hypocrisy in their argument from the beginning and the seriousness of his actions will not be overlooked. CSS isn't the only one who needs to improve and put effort into their relationship. Right now it's all about her doing efforts and not him so hopefully whatever he does will highlight the inequality in their relationship and allow LBY to improve as well.

These two episodes were both satisfying and frustrating at the same time.
I loved watching the 5th Princess and her friends suffer the consequences of their actions. I liked seeing CSS and LBY argue because they still have different points of view and it's interesting to see.
But I was frustrated by two things:
1) I wish LBY's revenge was more menacing. I felt the sinister aura of this revenge more in the trailer than in the drama and it's a shame.
2) I find it horrible that the emperor and LBY used such a method to settle the conflict with CSS. It is cruel and, above all, unfair. CSS was wrong not to say what she suffered to LBY but to put all the blame on her when LBY also has his flawss (and hides many more serious things from her) is definitely wrong.
I hope the drama, with what happens next, will dwell on the fact CSS is still shown to be at fault according to LBY while he has his faults and some work to do. She is not the only one to have to make efforts in their couple and her fears, her resentments, and her hesitations are much more understandable than those of LBY.

The same. I really want the episode to take its time to show the revenge of LBY and CSS.
I also want the 5th princess to be punished severely. She is more dangerous and vicious than the 3rd princess and this one was beaten and then punished. I expect at least the same.

Interesting, thanks for the article. So by teaching her this point and touching it, LBY wanted to both relax her (since she was upset) and, at the same time, put her in the same mindset as him. What a cunning one hehe
