I swear if they let that 2nd Prince take the throne in the end, I'm gonna be disappointed a bit. No royal sibling besides Suige deserves that spot.

Oh same, I'm afraid I'll be criticised for actually looking at the story in a 3D view instead of "oh poor him or her, stupid blah blah". Yup thats what I love about this drama, it sparks people to chat and probably clash over whats what, but yet again its all our own opinions, we just sharing them towards each other, tho some may take it offencely.

They fought together when they founded the nation, so they were probably already lovebirds than, even if she married before and after, she knew the plans to marry him who was to become the Emperor.

The Empress didn't want her children to be caught in a political strife, but the Emperor wanted Suige to rule next after him. You can definitely see where they're conflict derived from. She said he changed for power lust, but why shouldn't he want to perserve the nation with his own lineage, after all isn't that how it works? They never consider the nations well-being, seems everything is in name for them.

In all the arguments, they forget about the actual living people of the nation and howd they suffer due to this political strife.

Yup, that generalisation wasn't so a good thing to say, many rulers were benevolent, not everyone follows the same nature in the same position. She knew the consequences of marrying the Emperor even if she was clueless. Yes we deject his treatment towards the mother and son, but all of them are so short-sighted. Suige choosing not to inherit the throne could lead to a nation falling, not just the name, but the people of nation! their the most vulnerable in a power struggle. Hes the only one suitable as you said.

Zhuang Clan is a powerful family in Susha, you'd think itd be easy to suppress his power in the court or even grow. Those ministers in the court choose to join up with him, how on earth would he fight against half the court. Yes the way he treated his wife was unfair, but she married him knowing hed become an Emperor and she the Empress, you can't just decide your tired and leave the position, shrinking responsibility wasn't the right choice to follow.

Most definitely. Yeah I thought she was one whod stand against those greedy clowns, after all she fought to found a nation and married the Emperor, you can't just leave the position as freely as you want. She chose to be in that seat, as they say you reap what you sowed. Many still speculate he sent her there after the incident, but Im hopeless, she was stabbed in the heart as of my view, no view she'd survive that especially since she probably lied there for a few minutes. The father became too greedy while the mother too free-willed as someone who carries The Empress's title.

You'd be surprised of how we tend to overestimate how much power an Emperor has over his nation. Zhuang Clan is part of the founders of Susha, eliminate them, easily chaos caused, and could lead to thousands of deaths just for a life. Emperor rules, but PM has just so much power, besides the evidence can be manipulated in the court, leaving the Emperor helpless to do anything. His sons death happened 2 years post the Empress.

yup, they sure know how to manipulate the script to create constant talks about it.

spiritual veins is some that enchances your powers, but without it, you can still learn spells, you just won't be as powerful as those with them, therefore many covets the Heavenly Grief and Golden Millet Dream.

You can't be the only with hope left, I already lost mine!😭 Well true on that, enjoy holding onto your 0.001% hope you have there! 🤣

Oh yes I definitely agree with the points you made, in the end, both his father and mother made the mistakes that led them up to this situation.

I highly doubt it 😭 She was stabbed in the heart as what I can see, and I don't think anything in the world, even her alliance can save such a person.

Yup, it was definitely a flaw in his plan. I'm still feeling so conflicted tho. Firstly the Emperor could've easily gotten the Zhuang Clan murdered for assassination of the Empress, but yet again Zhuang is a founder, him being gone could throw the nation into chaos and cause death of thousands just over 1 life. Gosh, this makes me sound harsh. Honestly both parties made good points in this heated arguement. I feel it was clear to tbe Emperor that the Zhuangs clearly started to crave power, still feel that spying frame was caused by them. If i were the Emperor, I'd not choose the 2nd prince, because its clear to me hed be pampered as most of his family still lives and could easily be swayed. But being Emperor you can't be someone kind, thats another point I understand. I feel like I'd be the only one to understand the Emperors side in a few points, but would probably be criticised by these comments. But yeah in the end he chose to do things for power which were not it. I feel as well that the mother was quite clueless about going to form a nation with her husband, give birth to a son and not make him the Crown Prince.Being in the royal family isn't as nice as you'd think it'd be. Okay I should stop, I sound like a professional yapper atm, but yeah in the end he is the loser.

Shakespeare could never!

And thats the thing we'll never know excalty. Personally with Suige having his mothers strong-willed personality, I'd highly doubt he'd ever agree to becoming the Crown Prince. Even till the day after all that so-called shaping, he refuses. Would persuading working? no. What else to do, but harden your son to become ruthless and thats excalty why Suige is suited as a top general, but yet I'm still conflicted over the treatment he had to endure. I agree with the Emperor that he's the only one who can take the throne, the other 2 siblings are not cutting it for me.

give these 3 directors and the 5 screenwriters their awards immediately! That last scene of ep 24 was painstakingly beautiful and well-written. The sadden feeling I got from both sides killed me. 💐 CZY, LQ and ZB deserves the praise, that acting was off the charts, I felt the emotions and everything.

I, too, am as conflicted as you are right now. I'm with the father, that he is only the one who can become the ruler of Susha, the princess is love-brained while the 2nd prince is easily swayed by emotion. I'm not agreeing how he handled Suige tho. Its mostly that stupid PMs fault, he dared to strike the Empress, through the heart! Nothing would save her from that, but I'm conflicted here as well, the Emperor could've easily annihilated the Zhuang Clan for the murder of the Emperess, yet the PM is one of the founders of the nation and everything would cause hectic chaos in the court. I understand now why its a better ending for the leads to run away, then turn into this mess.

this drama is like a mathematics relationship, the rate of how good its getting increases more by the daily as well as our stress levels, but with the episode release remaining constant 😭😭

thanks I'll need it 😭🤝😊 enjoy the drama too when it comes out! I'll be break from this so I don't get spoiled.

I need my sleep 😭 I'll just figure it out even if it means I complete all 3 dramas only at the end of November 😅
