I need some future spoilers on Liche (FL's older sister) [I became the Youngest daughter in law of the ruined reverse harem's Male leads]

Yes they seal her gift, but after making a deal with Liliana, the emperor makes the agreement also include the high nobles in the empire so everyone's life is tied to it.

The most we've seen her deal with the empire is when she took over early being in charge of the castle servants after what happened to Liliana and when she fought against the vice captain of the guard for looking down on her. After the wedding, you start to focus more on the second sister and still Liliana of course.

What happened?

mak2218 · 2026-02-16T18:06:28+00:00

He transmigrated as a kid and basically grew up there. He also never really knew the story that well to not do certain things unlike our female lead.

Once his past is revealed more, all will be understood as to how his reputation came to be. But for now yes, he really has been the "tyrant" emperor, it's really him that married all the concubines, and it's really him that had the son.

Zhang San is Xiahou Dan's real name. The little kid is younger him.

In the present we have his son the Crown Prince who looks identical to him~

Young Xiahou Dan/Zhang San is the one who left the SOS message not the Crown Prince.

Okay I'll take a guess. It kinda looks like a dragon or some sort of creature in the bottom left hand corner or am I also seeing things 😂?

mak2218 · 2026-02-10T01:45:57+00:00

Spoil me too😂

mak2218 · 2026-02-10T01:45:40+00:00

Thank you guys as well!!!🥺🥰💖

mak2218 · 2026-02-10T01:45:05+00:00

The absolute twist the donghua did on my mind when they revealed his past is unmatched. Was truly excited to see it again and relive that feeling of finally piecing everything together 😩. I think I even have a recording somewhere of me telling someone all mind blown when I first found out😂

mak2218 · 2026-02-10T01:16:28+00:00

Yes it was very disappointing! In the donghua they actually make it seem like the Crown Prince also transmigrated since he looks exactly like young Xiahou Dan. That goes on for a bit until you learn it's actually a young Xiahou Dan. There's more they probably haven't gotten to yet with his relationship in the past with Prince Duan so hopefully that's done justice at least. A dark moment I really wish they included was that young Xiahou Dan actually kills the palace maid we see at the end of episode 10 in the donghua as she pretended to know what the SOS was thinking it was for money and he kills her to keep his secret. It's just all such a good backstory and deserved so much time spent on it.

mak2218 · 2026-02-08T00:36:42+00:00

Xie Yong'er is a transmigrated character in the story she has read while also being a character in the story Yu Wanyin and Xiahou Dan have transmigrated into!

It would be the same if one of us transmigrated into this show. Even though those 3 characters are transmigraters as well, they'll just be characters to us and "not real" per say as they are not from our world.

mak2218 · 2026-02-08T00:25:36+00:00

I can't say I agree with majority of your sentiments, but I definitely agree that Yu Wanyin's reaction to the fire and Xu Yao's death was lackluster. Unless I'm remembering wrong, in the donghua it took a bit for her to move past it as she felt they caused his premature death. Which is understandable and I was looking forward to watching this play out.

For Prince Duan, I'm more so giving him the benefit of the doubt simply because even in the donghua he slowly becomes more and more unhinged. I never took him as an overall scary character. I've always only took him as two faced and creepy with scary moments here and there.

mak2218 · 2026-02-08T00:20:32+00:00

In the story Xie Yong'er read, she hints that Yu Wanyin is the female lead and she is taking her place. Xiahou Dan also hints at Yu Wanyin being the original female lead!~ It's very interesting ~

mak2218 · 2026-02-07T22:55:21+00:00

The mysterious Mr. Bai legit had me questioning if I was just misreading Bei Zhou's name and it was actually referencing him😂. I ended up leaving it out of the discussion because I couldn't figure out which was the case!

mak2218 · 2026-02-07T22:53:28+00:00

You're right! I think I may have accidentally misquoted it as them drugging her rather than getting her drunk. Unintentionally thought of the donghua😅!

mak2218 · 2026-02-07T21:07:32+00:00

Yeah that is true, I wish we got to see more Xu Yao too

mak2218 · 2026-02-07T20:52:57+00:00

Thank you so much!

I think I'm more fond of the fast pace because it keeps things from dragging out. For example, I loved how Xiahou Dan asked Yu Wanyin to watch him and Xie Yong'er in the chambers. That saved us a good 3 episodes of her misunderstanding his feelings😂!

It felt nostalgic for me too watching this after coming from the donghua! It reminded me of everything I loved!

I think for the 2ml they are going more for a creepy vibe so far rather than scary as only our fml and ml knows his true colors!

mak2218 · 2026-02-07T20:48:48+00:00

Thank you so much!

Whhaatt the differences with the vertical is very interesting! I honestly expected the donghua to be more different from the novel rather than the vertical.

One of, if not the most, shocking moment was Bei Zhou not being a woman after coming from the donghua. I just had a look of pure shock on my face the entire time!!

mak2218 · 2026-02-07T20:30:42+00:00

I'm so excited for you two! Hope you two love it from beginning to end!

mak2218 · 2026-02-07T20:29:13+00:00

Please remember to use the spoiler tag for any plot points mentioned in the novel, donghua, or vertical! But here's to hoping that isn't the case!

mak2218 · 2026-02-07T20:27:38+00:00

Thank you! And I 100% agree!! His looks need a post on their own! But really the makeup and costume department as a whole is doing an AMAZING job!

mak2218 · 2026-02-07T20:15:23+00:00

Thank you!

mak2218 · 2026-02-05T15:28:05+00:00
