rewatching certain episodes for the 3rd time and this is truly perhaps the worst thing that could happen to wanning. if a woman was sold off for politics and r*p*d and tortured the way she was, was deprived of any control and decency, and still made it out alive only to be trapped in palace chambers with constant eyes and fingers pointed her way, it occured to me that it wouldn't just make a person spiteful and cruel. I would hate the whole world. I felt so torn as I really hated her character (testament to the actress's ability to portray her character) and her actions and words both made my blood boil. But this last false hope of a child that is going to be ripped away from her soon is just too cruel. Obv Jiang Li couldn't have known Wanning's past, but the writers really threw us into a fiery pit of cognitive dissonance with this.
