I do see the similarity.

Whoever said Fan Yu looks like a chipmunk...arghh, I can't unsee this. Everytime I see him now, I see a rodent talking.🫣

Yes, I wish upon Sang Zhi’s paper stars (from Hidden Love) because they all come true! 😉😝👌😀. I’m going to write down now “I want all of Destined episodes out tomorrow!”

This scene was epic! It proves that the Emperor knew all about LZS’s nasty doings.

That’s the secret. 😱

I swear I’d be sooooo haaappppyyyy if all 6 eps are released tomorrow.

I just think there's more to the whole story as to why LZS thought Mr. Gu's was his dad. He might have been misled by his mom. Just as Jiang He might also was misled by LZS's mom that the child's dad was someone else's. No clue...gotta watch to find out.

I'm not sure Jiang He knows. Maybe he suspected, but so far there's no indication in the drama that he knows.

I agree it would be a messy hand-over. Fan Yu basically would have to die so that no one can use him to lay claim to the throne, and he himself also won't have the chance to do so. Then it would be easier for someone else other than Fan's lineage to take over.

Jiang He, aka, the uncle.

Ok....I have a different take.

Major foreshadowing when Jiang He told the Emperor that he killed the previous dynasty's crown prince because he didn't deserve to be the emperor since he was an unpleasant person who couldn't stand others who were better, smarter, wiser than him, and had to resort to framing others to rid the competition. This totally described traits of the CURRENT crown prince as well. I hope the Emperor is wise to take this into consideration when crowning the next ruler. The emperor already gave his general/bestie permission to take matter into his own hands should the crown prince failed to be a decent emperor. Honestly, I do like Fan Xuan. He's doing a pretty decent job and to the best of his ability.

Who do you think is LZS's father?

I'm wondering the same! It's such a great series. Maybe because not too many people know about Song Yi.

I'm glad Ye Yun is growing into a confident person, taking her happiness into her own hands, and setting out to achieve her personal goals and life purpose. It's so nice to see that she and her brother have a great relationship, and he's finally letting her be herself.

Gotta love how the Emperor regained the upper hand from the Empress Dowager with talk of marrying the Princess to Northern Liang.

Wow!! I'm excited to see how Jiang He and LZS battle it out!

So interesting when Jiang He said to LZS that they are exactly the same and that LZS reminded him to his younger self ( Wow..if only they had known the truth!! )

At the finger-crushing scene, I'm hoping LZS experienced immense pain and jealousy in hearing how much trust, love, and faith Yuru has for GJS, and what a dignified and great person GJS is; and that LZS himself will never achieve that status in her eyes.

Blue is military related. Red is scholarly related.

GJS was framed for murdering a court official planned by LZS, and this landed him in prison. YR needed to see the Emperor on behalf GJS, and according to the previous dynasty's imperial law, a woman's fingers are to be crushed before getting an audience with the Emperor. This is up to the latest ep 32.
