I try not to read the novel or original work while watching the drama adaptation because it has ruined my viewing experience before. Their relationship is truly very mature and beautiful. I saw some previews and are even more in love with this couple and Lord Ding’s character in how he’s respecting her need for independence and individualism.

I feel the same way. This series is one notch above the three you mentioned above in term of satisfaction and entertainment values to me.

Hmmm.. this is such a tough question. I hope they do end up together despite her flaws.

So good I'm having withdrawal already and having to wait 2 more days for new eps.

My solution?...(a) Fast forward watch When I fly Towards You to sample more of Zhou Yi Ran's talent; (b) eat all the food I like before I visit the gym; (c) do my nails in prep of hanging out with my girlfriends tomorrow. 🤪 You should do something that brings you joy, too!!!!

If you like smart, independent, sensible, compassionate female lead, you will love this one. I really enjoy this series and it's easily one of my top favorites this year. Have a great watch!😀

Ageism is a b*tch and discrimination is real. Truth is age gap is not the main reason most of the time. I don't see as many people complaining about age gap when the leads are younger actors/actresses with a 10 years gap. This only become a problem when the leads are older in real life.

I don't think she will be the empress later on. We are already 18 episodes which is half way done. It's possible that she wants the throne but at the way the show is presented, I just don't see it viable. She doesn't have court support, backup people ,or military power, so it would be difficult to execute even a coup. The only advantage she has that I can see is the love and support of the citizens.

Mr. Mu may not be a good father nor husband, but thanks for delivering humor. So hilarious in not recognizing MZH over the first several of encounters, and then proceed to giving life advice on how to pick a "good one."😂

Our brave and intelligent MZH just won another battle. She's earned the sour-pussed-face's respect, Zhi Jian.😁

It feels so good to see the First Prince, MZH, and SJH working well together to solve problems. I'm also happy to see how well the prince flex when needed to curb dissidents.

Hahaha...can't wait to find out what's going on. He's probably jealous.

Me, too. And I hope it also helps remove certain viewers' bias on casting older leads if the role is appropriate.

30K is better, and it's a very good level.

Hahahahah....I'll laugh at your crying. Yes, it's very romantic. This series is one of my favorites this year.

I hope he remembers, too. I feel like since she didn't mention it to him, he didn't want to make it awkward for her and tarnish her image. Then she started to avoid him, he definitely thought she's not really into him that way, so might as well just sweep it under the rug.

They have great chemistry together even though nothing is really happening. I love watching them. I don't think it's an age thing. =) I've watched a lot of dramas and have loved couples from teenager to WAY, WAY, WAY older in age. It's all about the feel and connection. Glad we're able to enjoy this amazing show together!!!

Every episode is sooooo gooood!!! It has just the right dose of magic weaved in with some politics and mystery.

I don't know if Princess Rou Jia is good or bad, but I have to say Wang Li Kun does a wonderful job in showcasing a regal, calm, intelligent princess yet battling internal turmoil and practicing immense level of self restraint.

Dowager Empress is so rotten. Princess Rou Jia is just another pawn to her game and the Dowager doesn't care much for the Princess' happiness and wellbeing. She's telling the Princess to agree to a Northern Liang marriage. She's probably doing this because North Liang 3rdPrince wanted the Princess in exchange for keeping the secret about the battle.

After finishing ep 16, maybe he did forget...

I know!! So cute. He's more vocal with her now, too. Sharing food is a form of love. =)
