I totally agree! She never had a chance to process or overcome her past trauma. She basically sealed it and tried to forget it in some sense. She’s a strong person, thanks to how her parents and grandpa raised her and then Xu couple giving her love and support. Even though she’s down in her luck (lightly saying this), she always had people in her life to love, support and understand her.

I like the fl didn't waste any time in finding Jier, she landed in the capital and looked asap

At first I thought she didn't want to go to the capital bc she didn't want to be with ml, but it was bc her Shen family's main home was in the capital, and it brought back horrific memories. To make matters worse, they are now living in her old home, memories of that day resurface, she lost everything that day, the house that her family ended their life. She has to live there with another identity. It's just too cruel. I cried when she cried. Seven is a really great actress, she portray her crying scenes differently

The writer is too cruel to do this to our girl, hasn't our girl suffered enough

In modern eyes, he was a rapist, an abuser that slapped fl, manipulator, selfish, disregarded fl's wishes and consent. Forces himself on her a lot. The list goes on, but he changes in the end when he falls in love with her (typical). The saving grace the how the literacy is written. Many readers said if the author wasn't so beautiful with her words they wouldn't have accepted ml. So they really toned it down in the drama.

She thought duke's daughter had the status, and with being raised in palace by the old consort, her education, etiquette and intelligence would be comparable to a princess. So duke's daughter's reputation is more prestige. She forgot palace people are ruthless, in order to survive they are snakes.

There was a comment " I only see fl's reluctance meant nothing in the ml's eyes; she doesn't even have the freedom to choose or the strength to resist, left entirely at his mercy. Anyone who tries to imagine living such a life would shudder". This really resonated the novel of how fl had to go through, and much much worse. This drama is PG compared to the novel.

Han scholar would be going to the capital for the exam

He would be gone for 2-3years in the Capital, didn't want her to live with the in-laws and be ostracized and disrespected. They would be more relaxed, less restriction and rules since all the elders won't be there, he would technically be the boss of the entourage, since he's the oldest and with a court official position. He wants to have this chance to become closer to her. By separation, their relationship will not develop further.

it was mentioned she was sold in the previous eps. Her family was poor and saw her as a commodity that can be sold for money. Plain and simple. Since the product was returned to them without needing a refund, they took a chance and resold it for extra change.

Honestly, the main madam (ml's mom) should've been relieved and glad he chose to marry ml instead of that duke's daughter. Look how that turned out, treason. if they were engaged, then they would've gone down too.

No, 47 eps is not enough. I like the pacing. 30 eps would've ruined the pacing and editing would've been choppy and we wouldn't have these detailed scenes. Idm if it's 50eps. I have not heard anyone complained about it being long. I guess perhaps you weren't there to experience the 50-70ep dramas.

Ml was hesitant in drugging her, but when Yuchan mentioned the trinkets, he got jealous and made up his mind to drug. Bro, I thought forcing her in marriage was already not great, but this has got to be a red flag. This is insane, like there's not bottom line, how can he do this. So disrespectful and not listening and valuing her wishes to stay. She only didn't go crazy bc she wanted to go to the capital for Jier. But, damn.

Lucky you my friend, it worked out for you. I'm suffering, 1 ep is just a drop of water on a desert day.

When Ah Zhi was saved from brothel and fl+family/companions gave her travelling money to return home. I was confused bc didn't her family sold her to the brothel, so by returning her doesn't that give them another chance to sell her off again. Heh I was right. I guess this had to happen in order to find Jier's whereabouts. This drama has karma elements. If fl didn't take AhZhi in, as a homeless person, then they wouldn't have found out Ah Jier's location. if they weren't kind to AhZhi she wouldn't have inform fl of Jier. Good karma comes back to you.

Omg, this is so frustrating. Starting Monday Tencent and cctv will air one ep daily.

I read it took 2 years for them to consummate their marriage.

The next chapter is starting soon in the capital. The whole sibling gang is going, exciting.

He's honestly not a bad person. i think, bc he's always born with a silver spoon, so he typically gets what he wants (excluding work and politics here). So he overlooked fl's feelings bc she was born lowly, and who wouldn't want to marry all the way to the top as the madam. So I kind of get why he slipped.

is nanke and jiugao siblings??
