I don’t deny the father is a deadbeat loser and shallow.

Whaaattt?!?! Why?! He’s aaamaaaazing in Immortal Samsara.

I didn’t finish NLB, either. 😀

Blehhh… you’re going to whip me now, too?! 😀

Totally!!

Hehehe… gateway to becoming a whip wielding dom at a sex club. 🤪

You’re right! It’s NLB.

The emperor wanted the princess and GJS to get married. This way, the emperor would have access to Gu’s family wealth to fund his state since the court is low on money.

Did you know Destined is the FASTEST drama to reach 10,000 heat index on iQIYI platform in history?

Did you also know Song Yi and BJT were in other 10,000 heat index dramas respectively? Reset and My Heroic Husband.

CORRECTION : It’s not Reset, but New Life Begins.

Sadly, old Chinese traditions wouldn’t allow that unless of extreme reasons. There were so many laws and restrictions about married women, including divorce, not returning to parents’ home, and the stigma, just to name a few points.

Yes, pretty much correct. I don’t know about the rebelling part, but the uncle definitely has been demoted and fallen out of the emperor’s favor and sent far away from court to oversee a project. Without this uncle as the Gu’s family backup in court/politics, they are now vulnerable as target.

Yes, there are three of them floating around as brothers.

Big bro - Cheng Yi
Middle bro- BJT
Little Bro- Li Yi Hong.

I love them all!! 😍

I believe the director has worked with all three and they share the same block of support cast. 😛

I really like TSY. As a matter of fact, I like her more than Song Yi, and have watched all of TSY’s works. However, I have to go with Song Yi as a better cast as LYR between the two choices. Indeed, they both could perform a Young Mistress well. While TSY is cute and perky, I find Song Yi more demure, feminine, and mature which to me is more suitable as LYR. This is just my personal view on what LYR should be like. I haven’t read the novel so I don’t know what the novel version of LYR is like.

I agree that he was drawn to her at first sight. 😍

I feel that deep down, he already knows he likes her. Verbally admitting is the issue. 😀

The awesome thing is that the LYR could also see that GJS is a diamond in the rough as well. They are both very understanding, intelligent, and kind people.

He’s so head over heels for her at this point. He just couldn’t openly express it to her knowing that she supposedly like someone else. I love this couple. 😍🥰

I so enjoy the sound effects in this drama. It’s so well executed especially in foreshadowing ominous intentions or pairing comedic scenes. There aren’t any awkward, silent gaps.

He called her bro because he thought she didn’t like him amorously. She admitted to liking She’An in the beginning. He just didn’t want to make her uncomfortable by showing his attraction. I find him very cognizant.

I think Song Yi is perfect as YuRu - strong yet feminine. She performed her character very well in Luoyang. I also like Sandra with BJT, but I feel that Song Yi is a better choice for Destined.
