Fk me, the brothel story was "Epstein Files" case #1, now we have a cult and babies story case #2 . Maybe that's why we have 6 episodes less - they got censored for being too similar to what's going on irl 🤣. Did Winnie the Pooh visit the island too?

The bully was killed and Karen's face was disfigured, so she lost her favor with the emperor and had to leave to some country palace. Getting justice by the law here is tough though, as everyone's either is too influential or hurries to kill themselves.
Yea, realistically an unmarried princess roaming around the palace playing detective is unheard of, even in the…
So with all that, if he was threatened, he would have married her off and sent her to some far away province. But he's not doing any of that and is allowing her to roam free. Likely meaning he wasn't directly involved.
I’m tired of seeing every woman portrayed as good no matter what she does, as if there must always be a reason…
Not all women are good, there was a plot just recently about a nasty Karen who killed another woman because of perceived reputation danger to her son. And there was another one in the first plot who was a nasty bully.
But this drama's focus is on lack of rights and women's plight in that era.
In ancient China, the emperor ruled as the Son of Heaven, holding the Mandate of Heaven — a moral contract he…
Yea, realistically an unmarried princess roaming around the palace playing detective is unheard of, even in the drama people are often icredulous of this. The emperor def is sus, and it likely is guilty conscience that he dotes on her so. However, it remains to be seen whether he's directly involved or covers up for somebody.

I thought datura was used as a potent poison. But there's a lot of medical bs in this drama, so I let it slide. Especially funny how everybody spews rivers of blood when they're unwell/poisoned. And don't even get me started about acupuncture.

No, I'm really thinking it's just some stupid bs like airtime conflict with other shows/programs. Cutting whooping 6 episodes is just too much to be believable.

It's laughable to think there are whole 6 episodes of problematic content that should be cut. Especially, since it's not an uknown script, but a popular novel adaptation. Somebody simply fked up and filming studio likely lost a lot of money by not having those episodes aired. If everybody did business like that there'd be lots of closed studios.

What is there to censor here? It looks like they filmed full 40 first, then it was cut. I doubt they don’t check scripts for any issues before production, it’s too costly otherwise. Someone somehow decided it has too many episodes, maybe due to air window issue.
