Theory on who killed Song Mo in his first life and who killed his uncle

 ashmeal:

Does anyone know  which chapter will the mc be pregnant?

She has experiences of pregnancy, so she could felt it. Then she told Song Mo she might be pregnant at chapter 332, but told him to wait until a few more days. She is confirmed to be pregnant at chapter 338-339. She is pregnant at the same time with the crown princess. That makes her and Song Mo closer to the crown prince.

 Liz Mathew:

I thought the same... of all the good thing  in the drama, that was the most ridiculous thing.  She was drunk from the start of the wedding reception walking around with Ansu and Han, then here.. with DZ&SM,.  

Yup.  They got carried away with the silliness in Epi 19.

Today's episodes 20 and 21 are OK.  Not so exciting.  The director needs to quickly wrap up their first intimacy and get on with the attempt to steal DZ's dowry or come up with Song Yichun's attempt on killing Song Mo.

Otherwise, it takes up to 3 episodes for them to have sex which is a bit ridiculous.

I think the drama is wrapping up the not so important side plots really quickly, so that they can allocate more screen time to the upcoming main plot developments in the remaining episodes. Ep 20 and 21 had a lot of DM scenes, which they basically pieced together events from several different parts of the novel, some of which much later into the novel's story.

The drama already cut down a ton of side characters from the novel, so there goes the side plots related to them as well. I guess we'll be back into action really soon, as there are just a lot to unpack within the remaining 13 episodes...

 Liz Mathew:

Also the confession of "I love you" at the fire didn't have much impact...! actually I know things will heat up soon. but last two episodes were a bit lukewarm even SM's father's part makes him look bit silly...

Yup.

I think it's the empress  cause it's a fight for the throne the king probably backs the crown prince cause he's the eldest but she wants her child on the throne for absolute power but she can't so that if Duke ding is alive and having such strong military power, so in my opinion if crown prince ascends the throne he would have the support of the Duke ding and have that whole big army at his disposal but if that is eliminated that would lord qing more chances of ascending the throne cause even though they haven't delved deep into all that, l think the empress' family holds high positions in court or maybe even some military power this would explain why the heartbroken emperor who wanted to kill those who murdered his friend suddenly killed all the witnesses except the one who escaped (Chen jia) when the case was basically closed had that soldier said his master's name

Everyone suspects the Empress.  The Emperor has only two sons and one of them born by the Empress.  This is how messed up the Emperor for having an Empress whose son isn't the Crown Prince.  

Currently, everything clue points at Prince Qing as most f his people are now in many important departments as well as in the capital defence posts.

So far, the Crown Prince is portrayed to be criticising Song Mo most of the time.  However, in the previous universe, he said Song Mo supported the wrong person before he died.

Every finger is pointing at Prince Qing.  The story has changed so much from the novel so I don'tknow who the bad wolf is.  The Crown Prince or Prince Qing.

Whoever is the bad guy will be revealed once the chap with a tattoo is revealed as well as his master.

That lady messenger who met with Duke Ding and Fifth Uncle Dou in that room seems to be protecting Song Mo when she heard them talking bad things against him.  Another mystery.  

The Crown Prince will not gain anything if he goes against Duke Ding simply because the Duke prevented him from managing the crisis in Futing? !!!

How did he know about the letter from Duke Ding to Song Mo's mother?  Who told him?

Isn't this the first drama with so much intrigue...!!  Mysterious villain.. well the director really did a good job in continuing this...! 

For me .epi. 27 is confirmation that the empress was the mastermind.It was revealed that she was a widow. Why would an emperor marry a widow? Furthermore , she has the power to grant a high rank to 5^th uncle when he requested a reward for writing a hymn for her dead husband. Therefore she has wealth and power that she can do anything she likes without fear from the emperor.Drama dropped this clue for its similarity to Duke Jing, who married for  rank, wealth and power. The Emperor also married her for that. Another  clue dropped was by Prince Qing, who said SH 's situation was similar to his. Parallel of  1 family  with 2 sons, where 1 parent wanted 1 son to have everything and will do anything to get rid of the other son. Song family, father wanted SH to be Duke and will do anything to get rid of SM. Royal family, mother wanted PQ  to be emperor, and will do anything to get rid of CP.

Female centric drama and women power. This director is good at making his drama unique.Commonly, others will have women as CEO in their businesses. There is business but that is a sideshow. The important focus is : women drive the plot.  1 woman can change her mate's fate with her life's skill of calm,calculated,analytical assessment and medical skills- FL. Another woman was a catalyst to break up a happy family- FL stepmother. Last woman can control her husband and the country-empress.

Am more interested to find out why they were reborn?Theory 1- the stranger who said he was the writer of Book of Truth and guided FL on how to change fate, he's god? He was to correct their mistakes in their past life ? ML and FL were to be married for their fate to blossom. 2ML was to be a monk for his fate to blossom. Is 2ML also reborn? Yes, that would explain him as that monk handing over the Book of Truth to FL. 2nd- significantly given a magnifying glass. Einstein Time Theory used mirrors.He was the issue that rebirth was initiated. In Buddhism, 7 lifetimes  to achieve nirvana.Abbot had said he has initially no emotion and no attachment at his core.In past life, he became a monk because of bad outcome from  being a court official. In the present ,he still has ego for wanting to be famous and has attachment to FL.2^nd grave sin he committed in the past was helping PQ to become emperor,son of Heaven, PQ was unworthy. High possibility if he helped PQ to become emperor again,not only will he not continue path to nirvana but will fall to hell.

2^nd Theory - writer got trapped in a game setting/his novel and has to get the desired result  to  get out.
