He has a framed photo of them together at his place, but not one with her brother. Hahahah😂🤪

It's their voice. I've watched their other dramas and the respective voice sounds the same.

The original Minister of Personnel who was also the Gu family's uncle in the imperial court. He got demoted by the emperor and got sent away from court. He as the father part hasn't been revealed in the drama yet. I got this information from a novel reader. You can also get more information from the thread under DISCUSSION above titled "Political Storyline."

Understood. I'm from the US, and here we don't use terms like prefecture and province in describing USA's geography. That's why I feel the term state may be the best equivalent to zhou. The US has regions, states, counties, cities, and towns. Maybe COUNTY could be use as a ZHOU equivalent for those living in the US if state is too big in comparison to Zhou.

This discussion thread link below has a google map in it plotted out with the main cities mentioned in the drama. It's nice to have a visual reference guide sometimes.

If you're living in the US, which I am, then a STATE would be the best interpretation of a ZHOU. The STATE's governor, like a ZHOU's governor, also serves as the political head of that area.

I was thinking the same about how well they did her makeup at that scene. Other than the cracked lips, she had the death glow!

Those are real name of major cities and provinces. In historical Cdramas, the geographical names are almost always real EXCEPT when the storyteller purposely indicates it's fictional, such as fictional dynasty and fictional cities , so that the writer can change historical events. As for how the country was governed, I see links were shared . 😀

Well, that chapter of the story is closed. GJS has seen and gone through a lot with what happened. He pretty much has to grow up overnight. I can't wait to see him be a man now and fight back.

Commissioner Wang is such a vile monster.

Now that I've seen more of LZS and how ruthless he is, he's trash in my book, too. I've been patient with LZS, hoping that he has a sliver of redeeming quality. But, when he had his man killed RuGu's escape helper, the old man, and also had a hand in killing GJS's childhood friend, I realize there is no turnaround for LZS. He IS evil and his pretty face isn't going to gain any sympathy from me. Wang and LZS can both die a painful death!

wow...amazing details! good to know.

She's been typecasted. That's why she plays similar roles. That aside, her acting has improved in Hidden Love. Her crying scene in the alley in ep 4 while ML consoled her was very moving.

😁

Yes, he won the bet and SHOULD have final say on the right to divorce her. However, in today's ep 14, she pretty much told him that she should be the one to decide whether to stay or go because it's her decision to make, not him; and she choose to stay. =)

Yes, he got 1st place. It will air tomorrow. It's in the preview either for ep 15 or 16.

Desperate time calls for desperate measure. =) Not to mention, she's a quick learner and GJS did say she pretty much got the gist of it, just need to lean forward and apply more leg pressure. =) Anyhow, her riding to save him when she's a beginner makes her even more amazing in my eyes because it means he's THAT important to her now.

FL has favorable traits to die for!! 😘

I easily can count 5 dramas I've watched that he was in, which means, I've seen him in more than 5 different dramas. I don't remember ever seeing him smile. I'm sure he does smile, just that I don't remember. 🤣

Really looking forward to tomorrow!! Previews ep 15 and 16:

Sorry to Liu Xue Yi's fans, but I really don't like him in here. Such a psychopath. Although I do understand why he's messed up like that, it doesn't stop me from abhorring his ways.
