I agree with you on everything, especially the age aspect. When she’s standing next to WXY or the younger casts,…
This also happened in Royal Feast. It's worse there because of the way they filmed the drama, the costumes, and color palettes were not flattering to WJY. I believe they fixed these issues in this drama. However, the selection of actresses in the drama is just too young compared to WJY. Her maid is only 15 years old! Why can't they select some one older? Well, I am here to watch the drama and I do like WJY ... just hope that her drama will be better received.
"The madam inside the room was the current Chief Assistant6 Jiang Yuanbai’s second wife4.2, Ji Shuran. The young girl was the Chief Assistant’s official daughter, Ji Shuran’s biological daughter. Jiang family’s third young miss, Jiang You Yao.
Regarding who they were talking about, the one who “wouldn’t be able to endure past this summer” should be the Jiang family’s second young miss, Jiang Li."
....
"The Jiang family’s second young miss, Jiang Li, was sent off to the temple to study due to a mistake she made five years ago. Over the past five years, the Jiang family seemed to have forgotten this person. Nowadays, Ji Shuran (stepmother) was considered the only main wife in the Jiang family; and Jiang You Yao (younger sister who is a biological daughter of the stepmom) as well was considered the Jiang family’s only official daughter. As for the Chief Assistant’s first wife’s official daughter, she was currently suffering without being able to enjoy the summertime. But in the whole household, there wasn’t even a single person who was aware of it."

Both are official wives though ... I will go back and reread ... I believe 2nd wife or stepmother wants her daughter to take over the Jiang's role and marry the fiancee.

Sorry I meant the 3rd daughter ... I think the name calling in the drama is not right ... Jiang Li is the first daughter ... "second daughter" called in the drama. I don't remember there is a "first" daughter other than these two sisters.
On the strength of the first 5 eps, I would say they have done a great job on cinematography, acting, and plot rewrite. Except for the major modification of the book on identity swapping, I think this drama has been entertaining so far. I like the new storyline compare to the book because it gets to the point a lot faster. More exciting!
Dramatic opening ... Bai Yun Mo learned from his mistake with Royal Feast - the color palette is so much better! Very beautifully filmed. More like a movie ... Wow ... J Chen is so good for this role. Soundtrack is also good!
