For some reasons, when them three ladies sworn into sisterhood, it reminded me of Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, and Guan Yu of classic The Romance of Three Kingdoms. 🤣
That conversation between Mu Dan and Chang Yang in ep 13 was intense and full of suspense. He obviously was testing her out to see if she witnessed what he did. I'm just glad he didn't X her on the spot when he found her....😁
I don't think Chang Yang killed Mr. Xu for real. Chang Yang probably faked Mr. Xu's death to keep him safe from Prince Ning. All the dead assassinated peoples' faces were marred beyond recognition, and I believe this was done intentionally so Prince Ning thought he eliminated an enemy in court.
Wow..I'm surprised to see the skilled martial arts side of Chang Yang on ep 12/13. The story is getting more intense in term of Chang Yang's quest and true purpose in the story, and I'm really enjoying it!
I am very much Impressed by how Ding Zi Guang has directed the series.Considering His Last two projects, this…
Yes, I'm glad DZG is on this project. It doesn't matter how great the script is or how awesome the leads are if the director isn't skilled enough to execute and bring to life the essence and heart of the story.
In historical China, lovebirds would go on dates to admire the moon at night among the flowers by the water. The guy would invite the lady to “Shang Yue” (admire the moon). Chang Yang asks Mu Dan to “Shang Yu” (admire the fish) surrounded by beautiful flowers, and there’s water, there’s “yu” / fish, and substituting the round fishbowl as the orb of the moon. Perhaps they are even seeing the reflection of the moon floating within the fishbowl; therefore, Shang Yue after all. 😛😜
Although the date is unintentional, the beginning of a romantic relationship budding soon is seemingly real.
The foreshadowing is strong; the double meaning is awesome.
The FL climbs this steep mountain to hunt for wild peonies and we are told that the climb is difficult and dangerous.…
The way I imagine a large estate befitting of a prince with hunting ground would of course have front hills (main entrance with grand and decorated paths for all mediums whether it be on foot, carriages, or horses, and then there's the back hills, which in this case, the steep mountains. If it helps, picture a square, one side will be the front main entrance, and the other three sides are steep mountains for privacy and protection. So, obviously, the prince and ML entered/exited like regular people via the front entrance, while FL stepped onto the ground via one of the three sides.
Ultimately, it's just a show, so if all analyses fail, then applies the "director/writer do whatever they want without logic" explanation.😁. Happy watching!
The more I think about it, the more I feel Mr. Jia is the emperor. Jia means "family." Chinese Emperors and empresses always referred to their subjects as their "children."

ML and Prince Ning are hunting on Prince Ning's estate ground which is safe. FL goes on foot to areas border the estate. Obviously, the estate is protected by steep mountains and dense forest for privacy...just like modern celebrities' homes on cliffside, oceanside, or in forest. Prince Ning orders her execution because she is borderline trespassing, but ML comes up with a silly excuse to save her.
We have an ingenious play on words again!!
Yu= fish
Yue= moon
