The title of episode 33 is, "Let the backstabbing begin!"

Storm Alliance: Zhou and Whatshername vs Elder Lei Lei
Xinfiu: Empress Mother vs Xiyang
Susha: Murong Zhong vs Empress Mother

That is an awesome analysis, Glory Mor. 👏👏👏

I like Jingyan actor's performance. He has two faces, varying 180 degrees. I think many characters are vying for the Diverse Acting Range Award.

Zhuang Shen
Murong Zhong
Xia Jing Yan
Emperor Feng (old)
Feng Xi Yang

Who will win the award? LOL

Another senior eunuch bites the dust. I think Jing Shi's ally, Eunuch to Jing Yan, is dead by now. That position must have the worst job security in the palace.

The time really flew fast on this drama. I started a few days late, but it's been moving along daily.

First Emperor must be squirming in his grave at the following developments;

Second Prince sitting on the throne.
Empress promoted to Empress Dowager.
Murong Zhong, the new arch villain
Conspiracy between Empress and Murong
First Prince "assassinated" by Murong Zhong and Murong Yao,and later still alive.
Favorite Daughter turning into crazed mistress of Jingxui Emperor

LOL The writing in on the wall.

I can see Princess becoming an aggressive wife, and Emperor becoming a passive husband.

Second Prince is now motivated after his job promotion. LOL I finally looked up his name, Feng Cheng Yang. I wasn't paying attention before. Actor Ding Jia Wen looks fifteen years younger.

It is very likely he will remain as Emperor at the end of the day. The director and writer are setting up his career objective in ep 32.

The Storm Alliance segment is boring. After they saved Feng Sui Ge, they are planning to kill him. Waste of film budget! The senior Storm Alliance chief is acting like he's Emperor. Actor's emperor roles are paying off.

Xia Jing Yan has that baby face that makes him look charming. Then he turns on his evil switch. He's out-acting Xia Jing Shi in the emotion category.

Does Susha Emperor know that his brother is still alive? Did Murong inform Empress Dowager that Feng Sui Ge's body vanished, and did she update Emperor ?

SG and XY They became the old boring couple. XY can get a job to cure amnesiac patients. Getting stabbed in the shoulder was overdone, but effective. These characters are resilient. They have guts of steel. I had to run ep 31 and 32 on 2X speed.

🤣🤣🤣

I think she and Dr Ling had a relationship in the past. They also have the same sense of dry humor.

You took a page out of Zhuang Shen's book. LOL

He likes being beaten up by her.

I might be wrong but Murong Yao might kill his father, and die in the process. He looks hesitant about Murong's masterplan.

He's the prettiest face on screen for most of the episodes.
