Ximena

Xiao Wu Yi is Crown Prince Wen Xi.

I'm not. I'm watching this drama because I know I won't see any lip-locks or any intimate scenes from the leads. Emotional bond is what I'm looking for in historical dramas, not physical intimacy. So far, I love the romance between the leads.

Well, the new generation have their own colloquialisms now. You may need to learn it to understand it. 😆

I know, right? High five! 🙌🏼

Honestly, I was thinking the same thing! 🤣🤣🤣 I even expected him to kiss her cheek or forehead gently, or peck her nose playfully, anything would be fine. 😆😆😆

Oh, my. Hou Ming Hao is so good with his longing expression!

Hoo... I can relate. I'm good in Japanese years ago, but I can only talk and write in basic now because I focus on my English in recent years. We need to talk, write, and listen to stay fluent in the languages we've learned. And as Indonesian, I have to be fluent not only in our native but also in my tribe language. 😅

So am I.
Oh, wait. Don't you have to study? 🤭😉

I have to say this because it's funny. I have never ever read any comments in any dramas before, where the audiences scream, "Stoopp!" when the leads are going to kiss. 😆😆😂😂

I may skip a day and watch 2 episodes together, if I have some patient, that's it. 😁😆

Really? I thought Mandarin is not easy to learn.

Oh. Wait when they only air one episode a day. That's what I call frustrating. 🤧🤒 Yeah, 28 episodes are not enough. This drama is so good!

No funny scenes in this drama can beat that specific scene so far. 🤣🤣🤣 Lucky you, but I may need to click that 0.75X speed, even though I understand Mandarin.

Yes, for iQIYI. It's their way to persuade viewers to pay the express package. 😅

I drank water and spat it out, thankfully, not on to my laptop screen, while watching Jia Yu shot Wu Yi's butt. 🤣🤣🤣

The other time, I had my dinner and confused about the scene in Prince Chang Sha's rebellion because I missed some subtitles. They talked too fast—I had to replay that scene because Huai Gui revealed his secret plan. So, I learned my lesson.

Friendly advice, don't eat or drink while watching this drama. Thank me later.

Yeah, he's wise so far and clever in balancing power. The mother is the evil one. 🥴

Actually, you can see it in the outro.

We know she'll choose him, but any previews, trailers, and interviews can be misleading. 😁 Let's wait for her confession.

Yep, this drama is not about the empress, but the true heir to the throne's journey to unite the people, bring peace, and get the old capital back to the empire. He has to face the challenges, solve the problems, and find the loyal followers.

It's clever to put him in Prince Jing An's family. When he ascend the throne, the army will be loyal to him, no longer a thread.

If Wu Yi is not the emperor in the end of the drama, I'll riot! I've watched enough crown princes who denied their responsibilities toward the empire and people.

This Wen Xi royal family is very loyal to the one they love. When Huai Gui read her letter, I know now why Wu Yi is helpless when he's in love. Both are ready to sacrifice their lives for their loved ones. Fortunately, Wu Yi chooses the right girl.
