Thank you for this, cuz I keep getting confused. :'3

No problem! I will continue to update too as more of the Yan members show up!

sooooo helpful!!

Glad it is making it easier for people to understand! 😊 

Thank you again! I keep coming back here. Without this, I would not enjoy the drama, because it is quite tangled.

You welcome! There are definitely more and more information/relationships being updated too per episode. 

Can't agree on current emperor explanation  ..prince rui is not emperor in this drama...but I've no idea about the novel 

Current emperor and Prince Rui are 2 different people and thus on separate lines. I just have nothing else to add for current emperor as he was mentioned but no explicit information yet. 

Oh I understand now. Thank you for replying🖤👻

No problem! I added in numbers now just to make it clearer!  

You’re a treasure, JJJ 👍

Aw, thank you!
