She basically told him that she knows all about this plans and she would definitely cause him big trouble that will lead to his guaranteed death unless he works with her. In return, she would give him opportunities to make side $$ and possibly climb the ladder within XingWu guards.

Elder Master Yan may or may not know about the nephew's status, but Xie Wei as Yan Li's teacher has the hierarchical power in historical days to give Yan Li a ceremonial name and facilitates the ceremony if it's something requested by Yan Li's father. Not to mention, the father really respects Xie Wei for his support of the Yan family including saving his life.

I heard the same. So, either mistake in the script, or he too has memory of the past, or we both missed a part from ep 1- now that the ceremony was supposedly to happen but got delayed? hmmmm....

JXN is so smart. The ruse she used to get her sister into the palace is ingenious. She asked the princess for all three things she wanted, but the first two requests she knew the princess would most likely declined, but out of guilt, the princess would feel obligated to grant the last wish. Bam!

I like her, too, She deserves to be with Shen Jie.

Yan and Xue aren't on good term with each other for at least 20 years. Yan family holds military power. Xue family has connections with majority of the court officials, but they can't make Yan yield to them, so Xue feels threatened and wants to destroy Yan family. It's not printed in black and white, but Xie Wei's mom is believed to be Yan's family (Yan Li's dead aunt) and his father is the current Duke of Xue. Currently, XW is working for Lord JingNan, head of the rebels, in the back and for the Emperor in the front. Think of him as a double agent.

In the 1st life when Ning dressed up as a man, the princess took a liking to her until she found out Ning was a woman. Then the princess ended up detesting Ning. But in the current life, from what I can see, the princess likes Ning as a close friend instead of romantically.

I bet the honey layered walnut dessert was made personally by XW. He LIKESSSS her!!!! =))))

Lyu Xian and You FangYin make a good pair. Hope they end up together.

I love XW's two sidekicks. They are hilarious, especially when they spy on him being challenged by JXN.

Totally. I'm so invested in the drama. Not only is the viewing experience amplified multi-folds, our judgement of the characters are also not tarnished between the drama adaptation and the novel. For example, poor Yan Lin's character has taken a beating, being labelled as a rapist based on commentators here with other sources. But in the drama up to the latest ep, I find him a rather decent character. I have to say I like the drama version of this character; not that I wanted Ning 'Er to be with him romantically.

Hahaha...that facial expression!

Hhahaha...I noticed that the first time, too! It was funny. =). He was pretty much like "Oh shot, my master is in trouble."

I'm just glad the director/make up team didn't purposely hide his mole.

He's older than them. He's believed to be already around 8-10yo 20 years ago. YL is expected to have his "coming of age" ceremony, so we can place him around 18. JXN is also around 18'ish given that she and YL grows up together.

I had this question before, thinking that perhaps he was under some voodoo/poison pill from Lord JingNang. However, after conferring with other commenters here, I believe his dementia was brought on from past tragic event/ptsd. He's triggered whenever it snows which coincides with the 300 Lost Souls event 20 years ago.

After My Journey to You, Zhang Ling He continues to lead with mega-star aura in SoKP. I'm so bewitched that I'm checking out one of his older dramas, Sparkle Love, to fill in downtime.

I'm glad I didn't read the novel because the suspense from not knowing what's going to happen next is exhilarating.

I didn't read the novel. So far, just based on the drama, we don't know if XW liked her in the first life. He probably did, but she didn't like him the way she like ZZ.

Not sure in what aspect you need explaining about ZZ and XW. So I'll respond base on what I think you're asking about. She has always been terrified of XW knowing that he could end her life, so everytime she meets him during her second life in the beginning, she always tries to either avoid him or have her guards up. With ZZ, she likes him since the 1st life, so with the 2nd life, she also has a soft spot upon seeing him. This is up to the latest episode.
