If a hug means trust already then one easily make the argument that Zisheng trusts her since he always wants to be close to her/hug her/kiss her, etc. Zisheng's business is truly big responsibilities that are dangerous and can get people killed...not petty, child's play like what Shao Shang does. It should be reasonable to see why it is more difficult for him to disclose everything to Shao Shang, especially when Shao Shang has shown that she does not care about consequences that do not directly impact her. He has told her about the crown prince and other issues concerning the country and she has flat-out argued that she doesn't care about those things and has had no issues thwarting his agendas to further her own. You argue that Shao Shang already trusts him but that is NOT true. One of _her_ biggest issues is trusting people, and throughout much of the drama, she has trouble trusting Zisheng's sincerity for her. Others have had to practically explain things to her/forced her to see some good in him but that isn't enough for her. It's not until the very end of the drama does she finally admit that he is a kind man. She believed that he was only using her even though he never wanted her involved with palace drama in the first place and it was _she_ who insisted on involving herself because she didn't want to be seen as "controlled". One word from Wang Ling(someone who has been unkind to Shao Shang all along) about Zisheng being a cruel man and Shao Shang was ready to help Wang Ling. Is that trust in LBY? That's actually zero trust or faith in him. IMO, Shao Shang isn't reasonable...and she isn't because of her past...but still, it is wrong and unfair of her to turn around and blame everything on LBY and punish him.

是啊，所以少商之后才会不原谅他5年

真的，叫人要信任、依靠，然後再來甩手放飛，這人設讓人有夠不爽

@@Hahahana212 原來不只我一個看這少將軍看得這般不爽....

真的 快被這個男主講的話氣死 神經病 還亂解讀少商的話 腦子進水ㄛ

I agree!

Wow. And I thought I was cynical. Not sure about real life but, at least with the character, it's not like that. They both had communication issues.

Not true, he generally let her do as she please and helps her have a backup plan in place

CORRECT...

LA. I’m guessing you didn’t finish watching the series if you think that…

我年輕時的遭遇和個性思維和少商很像，其實很渴望愛但又怕再受傷。和男友交往後也屢屢遇見類似的情況，他忍了很久才告訴我，他覺得很受傷，我自己也可以自在獨活，那他對於我有何意義。 後來我痛定思痛的改了。 現在我們結婚多年，我依然是朋友眼中那個獨立自由的女人，但我有一位是摰友也是依靠的丈夫，人生的酸甜苦辣都一起分享，我累了怕了都有人可以傾訴安慰。 對等的愛，不會讓你失去自己，但一定會使你甘願改變 可以堅強但不表示就不能柔弱 因為我那在外鉄錚錚的丈夫，在我面前就你隻大狗狗似的，他對我全然放心，也希望我這樣對他，我想這才是子晟的意思吧（所以他後來有所隱瞞時，才會傷了已做改變的少商的心啊！）

@@dondon520. 是否合拍在乎雙方對對方的要求, 對方要一個獨立自主的伴侶, 可以自行解決問題, 不用依賴才算是好伴侶, 是的, 不用依賴人也是一種不錯的生活態度, 可以依賴就依賴吧, 不容許的, 一個人也生活得不錯, 進退有據; 少商不依賴凌不疑, 就是她不嫁, 也可以活得不錯, 且看看之后凌將軍因為不想連累少遇商一家, 放棄了少商, 如果那時的她不如凌不疑要求"依賴"了他的話, 受傷也不會那麼深 不依賴也是一種自我保護的機制, 人來這世上是一個人,走的時候也是, 不依賴/依賴,沒有對錯, 就如少商跟凌不疑退婚時說:"你要我依賴你,我依賴了,"但要求她依賴自己的那位, 卻沒有信守一生對她不離不棄的承諾, 既然辨不到, 就不要輕易開口要求對方按自己的要求去做

@@dondon520. 凌不疑錯在本來他就知道報仇是他多年的宿願, 可能當初他以為找到證據可以以正途去報仇, 之后發現不行了, 一定要以暴易暴, 那時間他應忘了他跟少商的許諾, 如他所說, 他怕少商會露餡, 不跟少商商量, 但在行事之前也不可以說嗎? 交代一下也不能嗎? 很多人以上帝視覺去說少商應體諒凌不疑, 但是違背對方的是男方, 男方不也應明白, 當一個孩子從未吃過糖果, 他不怕喝苦茶, 但當他曾嘗過糖果, 之后他知道什麼是"甜", 那苦茶就變得很可怕, 不要輕易給別人承諾, 如果自問未必可以做到底

畢竟自己女兒

後來081也不是補送一票面首屍身在她府上了嗎...

I think it was very understandable for him to be so upset that she didn’t tell him. Whereas Shaoshang’s little bucket of water scheme only served to humiliate the princess, the princess could easily kill her next time in secret when he’s not around to protect her (as the princess was being dragged away by the guards in this scene, she said she would make Shaoshang pay). The princess clearly isn’t afraid of LBY when she said he can’t do anything to her (she’s not even afraid of her own parents). She said Shaoshang’s life means nothing. After this scene, LBY convinces the emperor to kill the princess’s male aides, which finally broke her to be obedient and leave Shaoshang alone. Shaoshang is smart and vengeful but she’s not ruthless like him in vengeance. Her methods aren’t effective in the palace like before. That’s why he’s upset because he needs to know to protect her.

Shaoshang is not at home or, out I. Yhe world. She's in yhe Royal.palace where at least two princesses hate her and find no issues with endangering her life. Her independence can get het killed and Ziseng, growing up in the palace and was bullied, knows what to expect

Super agreed 👍

Also don't forget they are pretty much still just kids. Show is among other things learning to grow up to love properly.

YES I agree.,.

Totally agree. And if the FL had confided to the ML, he definitely would have avenged her, and I for one get annoyed when that happens. Women should address their own problems. If something happens, understand from it. In real life too, advising others is fine but don't try to lead their life for them and don't interfere unless asked. I can't bear seeing parents talking for their kids without their consent. Nor do I like it when a husband or boyfriend interfere without being asked. They think they are doing a good thing, but really, no one is grateful. Here the heroine definitely needs to learn to trust, part of the character development in the drama... but the hero knew how she was... He was the one who proposed, and being part on the royal family, whoever became his wife would go through a hard time... He should be more understanding and patient... of course that's probably part of his character development.

@@Bugzinastorm8697 well said 👍

She is not the concubine, she is the consort. She was in a relationship with the emperor all along, fighting alongside and supporting him in his conquers. The empress came into the picture because her clan supported the emperor during war times so as a reward, she was married to the emperor as first wife. Both ladies are actually very magnanimous with the situation and respected each other as true blood sisters.

居然是？！

天啊，完全沒發現耶

😮演的也太好了 看不出來

好眼力

我第一眼就发现了

He is educated, a favorite of the Emperor, and his life is all about discipline. He also witnessed a horrific crime, has a hidden identity, and has had to live closely with his enemy for years. He has had to watch his mother's madness, too. All his privilege has not made up for the lie his whole life has been. He is so damaged. The army gives him a place to vent his hatred, anger, and frustration, but the double life has deprived him of more than his family; it has deprived him of trust, of a time when he can just relax and be himself-- I don't think he knows how to be himself, really. He is so lonely. She is a child abandoned and disregarded, treated horribly by family. She has had to raise herself. She has so many injustices built up that revenge is tied in with her self-respect. She is only fifteen, and is thrust into a world where the least little thing could mean her life. She has little sense of self-worth. She lists her faults, but never her assets, because I believe she doesn't think she has any. She is so damaged, too damaged to know how to love or trust anyone. So, two damaged people, who tend towards being perfectionists and absolutists (everything is black and white) are trying to find their way to each other. In the meantime, they are also trying to work their way through all the horror and pain war has brought. They are both stubborn and prickly, ready to lash out at a moment's notice. Honestly, the characterizations of this show are nuanced and beautifully realized by the actors, whether leads or secondary characters.

這是她從小被抛下，孤獨長大所養成的性格，並非一朝一夕說改就能改，很棒的是，嫋嫋是一個懂得思考並會做出修正的人，她一旦認定並決意接納，她也必會全心全力

没纠结啊，只是没必要为了谈恋爱变成别人的样子。

@@andyblack1610 不用改變， 但要溝通、互相磨合。

什麼叫既然接受了就不該糾結，誰告訴你接受就要完全改變自己性格，打不還手，罵不還口任人宰割，等著未婚夫出面解救。 你是不是活在另一個時空啊，怎麼可以用你大齡人思維來否定小女孩對錯呢！還是你根本看不懂劇情。 你竟然要求一個懵懵懂懂，情竇還未開十五歲女孩，什麼改選擇，什麼不該選擇，一個十五女能懂什麼，既使你三四十歲結婚，也不見的你會為對方完全改變自己個人性格吧！

Love like the galaxy

very well done TV drama, I recommend.
