she only have those dreams one at a time. It's only triggered when one of those events in her past life is about to happen. So, even if she wants to immediately save her family from their doom, she can only take one step at a time.

that he has another hidden identity, that is 6th Prince, Zheng Zhuo's, advisor and friend. It didn't cut off her connection with the prince but boarded the same ship as him.

Mr. Xu is one person, it was mentioned how the ML is smart in hiding his identity bc if he's not, then the other court officials and princes should've caught him already. It was mentioned how he only wear wide robes to hide his body figure, wear mask that even the shape of his eyes and mouth can't be seen, even the way he speak is different. It's also mentioned multiple times how the FL almost caught his secret identity so close many times, but the ML can hide it so well bc he has two identities that is both close to her so he can immediately plan ahead of how to deceive her.

reincarnated. But unlike the FL who only dream of it, Princess Shaohe really reincarnated when she fell on that bridge. But even with this, just like the FL, she's not all-knowing bc she she secluded herself in her later years and only receive reports abt the ML. I quite pity this character. Shaohe wasn't a bad person, she only lives in a society that bound the females to have no choice but to submit. I wanna hate her for what happened to the 6th Prince but just like how the FL can't do so bc she also have her own hardships when she married that bastard crown prince. She was forced. But she's still fortunate bc she's still alive, much fortunate than Zheng Zhuo.

I would cry my eyes out for him. The 6th Prince, Zheng Zhuo, never betrayed the FL's family. Contrarily, he tried his very best to save them but unfortunately failed. Damn that FL's sister in law. I cried for his story bc he's a really good person and would've been a good emperor. He's full of ambition for his country and the people. It's just sad that be it past or present life, he wasn't able to ascend. It felt like all his blood, sweat and, tears ended up in nothing but alas, this is how it's like when fighting for the throne. I'm sad bc he didn't get a happy ending in both of his lives, both of his lives ended up as a tragedy. It would've been great if he survived, the 13th Prince wouldn't have to be force to grow up. The trio; him, the FL & ML, we failed to protect their friendship. Until the very end, before his death and after his death, the only one on his mind was his country. Before his final breath, when he suddenly see the three of them playing wumu in his past life, I'd like to believe that that memory must've been an important and happy one for him to see. It's sad to see that when everyone was reunited at the end, there's only him who was missing. He failed to see the peaceful and prosperous country he wished to build.

But let me tell you!!! Their past life was also heartbreaking huhuhuhu it's so tragic for the both of them, especially for Lu Shi Qing who wasn't even there when the woman he loved died the followed by his best friend. It's really so, so heart wrenching to read that side story tbh. I feel bad for the three of them.

That time when the ML needed to go for peace talk with Nanzhao. She's indeed very selfish at that and I was slightly annoyed, however, it's understandable as we can be selfish when our own interest was at stake, especially if it's our loved one's life.

Zheng Zhuo's death. Like, whyyyy??!! I won't lie. ZZ was my bias wrecker despite not having much interaction with the FL and not much details about him. I don't know, I just like him. And he fckin died! Huhuhuhu and that side story about their past life didn't manage to comfort my wounded heart as well. Rather, it just made me more regretful for his short-lived life. He also said in their past life that he doesn't like YCX very much, however, when I read their past lives, I think he's just comforting LSQ so that the latter won't feel guilty. After all, if he really doesn't like her, why would he want to know her likes? Why would he be heartbroken when he realized that YCX doesn't like him? In short, he also likes her very much but he's also a very loyal friend and doesn't want to make LSQ feel guilty for him.

The FL began having dreams about the "future". But it's not like she knew everything. She would sometimes dream of something happening and it would only be on the bridge and she can't move. So what little she knows of the future is from rumors from the common people.

I loved that although due to her dreams they were able to do things differently, there were still things that didn't change, which was mostly not favorable to them.

died before ascending the throne. But he sacrificed himself for his brother and for the future of the country. It’s rare to have such character. Like Princess Shaohe, I also hope that he got a perfect life in his next life.

the betrayals didn't really make me angry -besides the og lifetime first one- so the revenge didn't really matter, the misunderstanding was somewhat blandly done, it didn't lead to something you couldn't take back so it just didn't awaken any sorrow, the inevitability of big events was well thought out but it wasn't crushing enough for the MC when she realized it.

There is a moment where it's mentioned that a priest told one of the Villains that there was a person in Zhou that was the lynch pin for everything. He informs this to the princess he took from Zhou, believing it to be her. It's basically a throw away scene and left for us readers to consider that it's the FL and not the woman he's talking to at the time. It'll never be brought up again.

He's devious and begins planning ways to get her to "force" him to take responsibility for her. Which she constantly chooses not to do as she wants him to marry her willingly. Makes it harder for him as he keeps fantasizing about her. Poor dude even has a wet dream after just seeing her without her outer clothing.

Get slight revenge on her SIL. In the future she saw, her SIL survived the death of their family and that SIL's sister also maneuvered her way into the prince's bed, so FL knew something wasn't right. Couple that with the current timeline's SIL and her sister plotting to have the SIL fall to miscarry FL's nephew/niece in order to get FL expelled from the family (the SIL already learned that she probably couldn't carry the baby to term and that she would most likely die as well if she tried). In the end, the entire SIL's family gets wrecked.

We get to see the ML from the previous timeline. It's made clear that he fell in love with her then too despite her being engaged to the prince he served. It is just one big extra story of depression which includes things like him constantly cleaning her gravestone (which he moved into one of his mansions), him receiving a note from her (which basically said if they're reborn again for him to make up his mind earlier), and him eventually just giving up on living (as he failed to make Zhou a better country and that he couldn't protect her).
