Will they die together, and have a romantic death song with flashbacks?

Best comment of the day! LOL

Second Prince acts like he is 12 to 15 years' old. Mother Empress hasn't been training him properly to be the next Emperor.

Princess Feng Delulu went from grand palace to slum palace. Did she figure out yet that she took a big demotion, going to Jinxiu with Prince Xia Delulu?

I haven't figured out who he is really working for. I have been ignoring him most of the time. Is PM Shuang working with Emperor Xia?

When I see the three kids together, I think of Fu, Ning and Other Guy as assassin trainees.

When they stand together, she doesn't look 14cm shorter than him. LOL

I thought the same thing. He's a degenerate.

I fast forwarded the drunk dialogs. That Snake Steve is just as annoying to watch, as Fang Lei. I dont pay attention to his moments on screen.

They bonded quickly. At least the writer gave Yu Ming something else to do, besides being the hospital doctor.

50-50 odds! They need a reason to reconcile.

The drunken acting was cringing, but the writer needed an excuse to get the ML and FL together. The reunion didn't last long. FL should not blame ML for seducing her, because she literally threw herself at him. She really wanted to go "home".

Is Slimy Snake Steve working for Fang Lei's father? Has Fang waited twelve years to avenge his older daughter's pregnancy and death? The Shen and Fang family had a recent business collaboration, which would make it easier for Fang to gain the upper hand. "The enemy is in front of your nose, Shen!"

He views the son as a threat, but he views him as his good son. Emperor is confused. The wife Empress really has him wrapped around her finer.

When I watch his scenes, my first thought is, "so handsome". When he starts to act belligerent, "you're delulu".

She picked up the selfish trait from her stepmother.

During the day, I watch it on the laptop during breakfast or lunch. At night, I watch it on the smart TV... more relaxing. I'll try the cinema mode.

We are just at the midpoint of the drama, but this is one of the best costume dramas of the year. All the actors are performing well. The set designs are eccentric. I haven't seen so much scroll design in a drama. Is that what they call gothic? There is a lot of busywork ( ... clutter) on the palace sets. The music can become invasive at times. One wonders if the scene would be just as profound or effective without the BGM.

He thinks she is gullible to fall for his tricks. He would end up stabbing her in the back. She should have said, "I already got the memo (... message)."

He is ready for the smackdown with Empress. He should tell her to crawl back into her hole, and stay there.

Frist Prince is showing great restraint when dealing with his father. The resentment over the treatment of his mother is strangling him. The Emperor's ego as ruler and parent is so elevated, he can't have a sincere conversation with his son. Probably the only time, they communicated in a rational manner was in ep 18 when Emperor was playing with Princess's toys.
