That was cruel and unusual punishment for seven years. He should have wasted away over seven years. I can't imagine he was given food, water or a bath. 🤣🤣

New characters just drop into the drama, and drop like flies. I liked the last one. I think his name was Di Lu. Zhong Mo grew on me. I think he might regain his royal status, and become a better emperor after all his life's lessons under Xie Huai An.

I saw the "glow up" comment recently, and wondered what it meant. 😁😁😁 He's 55, but looks ten years younger here.

Did you notice that Liu Yi Jun looks younger in this drama? I don't remember when I saw him last.

Sometimes it is inferred that she recognized him, but then I read all the comments. Who was she writing to all these years? Her biological brother? There was a quick scene where she called him by his first name, Huai An, as if she knew who he was. She only met him the first time at the city gates.

Me, too, but the writers like to sacrifice the good people at the end.

LOL Calvin Li has an extensive acting career. He has striking features. He reminded me of Any Lau. I imagine he was not playing a minor guest character. I was surprised when QIng Yi revealed his past history to Bai Guan. The writer wanted the viewers and Bai Guan to feel sympathy for him.

Qing Yi annoyed me on screen. Glad the writers got rid of him.

Ancient China used AI. 🤣🤣🤣

Golden Leaf Honor: In November 2025, Da Huang became the first animal actor in China to receive this industry award at the Weibo TV & Internet Video Summit.

If you google "Da Huang Dog actor", you will find an AI overview. He also won an award in November 2025. Golden Leaf Honor: In November 2025, Da Huang became the first animal actor in China to receive this industry award at the Weibo TV & Internet Video Summit.

Doggie has an owner trainer, and might be the top canine actor in China.

He was in a Xiao Zhan costume drama, Jade Dynasty.

Wang Jin Song is acting by his lonesome self. I think he had a couple of scenes with Liu Zi Yan actor. Hopefully, he will have someone else to talk to. 😁😁😁

The plot is moving along fast. That shows the high production quality. They got rid of those two annoying men in episode 6.

The dog did a beautiful job in Hachiko. There were many dogs playing Batong in the movie.

I was tired of watching Liu Zi Yan in every episode. The writer finally got rid of him.

Is the dog that pops up occasionally, Da Huang, who was the dog, Foxy, in Mysterious Lotus Casebook?

When are episodes 5 and 6 dropping? I was surprised that episodes 1 to 4 dropped one day early.

The Huben Army soldiers are dropping like flies. I knew that The Emperor was going to kill Zhang Mo. That was so predictable. I was confused why they had the same face. Was the man who lost his face, Zhang Mo's twin brother? The plot and writing were very realistic until the face swapping.
