@Val W Thanks for revealing this part. I had watched till ep 16 then stopped for the episodes to catch up. Have been reading the comments here and my goodness - it didn't seem as though the good guys were capable of a win. Thanks to you, I will now continue to watch from ep 17. I dislike being frustrated by the evil in the drama (let alone IRL), so THANK YOU Val W. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for this.🙏

Am at Ep 12. Can someone give me a glimpse as to whether the romance between Erlang and wife improved to a stage where they kissed?

Thank you so much

Does anyone know if this will have romance in the later episodes and is the ending SE? Will the leads die

Thanks to this thread which I thoroughly enjoyed 🤸

Agree with you @tiasmovingcastle. I am stopping at ep 46. This is not romance at all. It should be billed as unfulfilled live since they don't get to be together for the long term. Totally unsatisfying.

It's ironic that after all the effort to save FJM that he should die in the end.

I wonder if that is why Tilan is ambivalent about seeing her brother when he comes to Dazheng.

Oh my. ZY is already married

I especially want to know no3. What happened at that mountain. Excuse me for being a blockhead - like the emperor said of FJM. Someone please help me to understand.

Beginning of ep 40 - I could not get past the first 2 minutes. It was so heart wrenching - I saw the pain and the longing in the male lead's eyes for the woman he loves ... I couldn't get past that scene and had to stop that. What a hopeless sucker for romance I am.

Many thanks

huh. What is the ending? I must have missed it @Empress

Can someone explain why Tilan cannot be the empress now?

Wait. Sorry to be so duh. Please explain why Tilan cannot be his empress?

Look at the viewing calendar - on ep 48 - it has tears and knives, so maybe FJM does die in the end. HaiShi is pregnant and will carry/look after their child.

During the JC revolt, since FJM doesn't want to undo the Baixi thing, doesn't that mean that he will die (if he's not already die.)
I saw a scene where Haishi and the person in the carriage approach a cliff and presumably 'jump' down.

@poongs You are right. :)

In the trailer (ep 41 i think) when the walking dead man came up from behind - Shifufu had to take the hit for her before falling into her arms.
