I know and the child even looks like she could have been from both of them!!!

I dropped in ep.20 but only watch little YT vids of when Joseph is in there.

It's a tragedy and it's made worse by the obvious contrast in acting Ju Jing Yi's acting and JZ's interpretation of the scene. I only watch little clips on YouTube now

Joseph Zeng's acting is really the only thing keeping me hooked. He has such emotive eyes. I know he will have a stellar career.

The Queen looked amazing at the GQ 2021 Men of the Year Awards.

Does anyone have a link to the novel?

His enthusiasm is so cute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3RxSByYwgg

Our Queen deserves her flowers!

Do you know where the full English edition can be found?

Exactly! They need to stretch those resources or get an internal team like Dilraba did :)

This edit made my cold heart melt!!!

He really does tbh I feel like he's acting and secretly feels betrayed for having spent years as a hostage. But if he's not and that just his personality then I hope he stays out of the fight but that might seem impossible since its the only other Prince left aside from the Emperor

You misread what I meant. I want them to lead peaceful lives not to be together.

The Prince Ji Chang that returned after years of being held hostage.

I hope Princess Tilan and the Emperor's little brother have a happy ending or at least continue to live in peace. I'd hate for these characters to be written later as people who become scheming. They are the only uncorrupted characters at this point. Also, what is the role of Youdu (guy who spotted her outside of the clothing store) in this story?

The guy who spotted her outside of the clothing store when she walked on out

this the one I got so far. The translation is clear and readable. I will try find the full version.

Thanks anyways I found it lol

do you have the novel link?

This drama had some nice costumes and that's about it for me

I think I dislike the shifu more! His characterisation seems very linear, nothing about him is compelling whereas the Emperor makes you want to understand is ruthless and their shared past. The dialogue doesn't help either tbh, some missed opportunities in a lot of the character interactions.
