I think it was her master's ploy to switch the bracelets, have Lige think that the Shen family are strangers to her so she can carry on with the assassination without any hesitation. It's a pretty genius idea.

Its definitely a common trope in period Chinese dramas for men to seek power and for women to seek love. Its a palace drama though so I'm not even sure what other motives people would have here.

I see the complaints against the sister now. Her presence has gotten very annoying and she isn't vital to the story. It doesn't make any sense for her, a maid, to be able to visit the regent king and to leave the palace whenever she wants. The author is doing everything to keep her alive until the very end but I find her completely unnecessary to the story. She needs to die like last episode.

Since Li Ge entered the picture, Le Qing has lost what she thought belonged to her - the Shen family and her future husband. The family pretty much brushed her off to the side once Li Ge was found. It seems like she has a hatred for Li Ge stemming from the fact that she took the happiness and the future that she was supposed to have. She has decided to team up with the baddies partially because they are the only people willing to put up with her so she is using them (as much as they are using her) to get what she wants - Li Ge dead and her becoming a consort.

I understand the rationale for her evil doings. But her being alive for this long is really annoying. The actress is amazing though. I love the faces she gave Li Ge when she escaped being caught for the upas incident.

Don't understand a single word but dang future episodes look good! It's unfortunate that it looks like the evil sister may live till the end. What a cockroach.
