If anyone here has read the novel, could you tell me roughly when he tells her the truth about his identity, recovers, and goes into battle like the synopsis suggests? A quarter of the drama has already passed, and all of that still feels pretty far away to me.
One thing that’s always at the back of my mind with the hidden-identity trope is that the other person is being kept in the dark. It makes the “falling in love” feel a bit bittersweet because I can already see the big red flag for the inevitable breakup once the truth comes out. 😭
Could someone tell me what the drama’s plot is? The synopsis only mentions the virtual stuff, so I’m not really getting the full picture. I don’t mind spoilers. Thanks in advance!
Fei Ni is sooo kind because I would slap LY and FL’s face the moment they speak.. they are soo annoying
“…I would slap LY and FL’s faces.”
That honestly threw me for a second. I was like, why the female lead? Then I read it again and realised by FL you meant Feng Lin, not female lead. My brain just auto-reads ‘FL’ as ‘female lead’ every time. 😭
I’m on episode 14. Has their “fake” marriage been found out yet? I kind of hope it doesn’t get exposed, because I don’t see the point of turning it into more drama. It’s obviously going to become real soon anyway and honestly, it already feels real.
I could be wrong, but I have always been under the impression with period dramas that a marriage is considered…
People can have all sorts of expectations about marriage - love, consummation, planning a life together, emotional commitment and all that. But legally? That’s a separate issue.
If two people decide to get married for whatever reason and register it properly, then it’s a valid marriage. Full stop. Whether outsiders think it’s “real” because it lacks romance or traditional elements doesn’t change the legal status.
The real test is this: you can’t just walk away whenever you feel like it. The marriage continues to exist until you formally divorce. Only a legal divorce dissolves it. Until then, neither party can marry someone else, that would be bigamy.
So Ms Xu is looking at it from a social/traditional lens, whether it feels like a “real” marriage. But legally speaking, it absolutely is one.

Really? I thought the marriage is considered valid once all the rites are done and the bride has entered the groom’s house. So you’d need a divorce or annulment to leave, right? You can’t just walk out, even if it hasn’t been consummated.
Anyhow, now it depends on the marriage registration. Once registered, marriage is done.
The whole concept of "fake marriage" is nonsense in most dramas, because if you got legally married, you…
Then there are the so-called ‘marriage contracts’, which depend solely on the goodwill of the parties to fulfil their promises, as they are otherwise unenforceable in a court of law.

By the way, when will the marriage approximately take place?
