battleaxe

oh she's gonna dominate that harem, the only person that may be her match is that concubine jing, bc we haven't seen what she can do yet, those goofy sisters aren't her match. yea this mini is definitely curing my harem drama nostalgia

导演 yin tao's dramas always look ethereal. i know my eyes are in for a treat!

i ship her and the emperor, and they even work so well together, and he's way more proactive than the ml, who only decided to start moving when it was too late 🙄. but the ml is also right the emperor is not reliable, he knows she schemed so he'll never trust her

🤣😂 this fl schemes and lies as much as she breathes, then she says '😔looks like he/she still doesn't trust me' 🤣 girl would you trust you?

exactly, emaciated is the word here. really hope he's okay

the production tried with this drama, i haven't really gotten into the story yet but first impressions- they really did the best with what they had 💯

when the princess insults fu yixiao and her beloved husband hits her while the 'don't cry don't cry' ost is playing 💀💀 its like even the music was mocking her stupidity 🤣🤣🤣🤣

i thought the susha emperor was some sort of secret mastermind, turns out he's just a power crazed delusional idiot 🙄

its that kiss in ep 17, the story fell apart afterwards and became a snooze fest. they started focusing on the boring side characters after that & gave us less of the cp kmt. on ep 23 now hoping things pick up again soon

very true. i remember her fight scenes were also really good in song of glory

li qin's fight scenes are better than the ml's even though he's more physically imposing

rise of the phoenixes also had a great emperor
another grudging addition - story of yanxi palace's emperor

the 2nd cp kinda match in a way lmao, they both give off a 'pretty, delicate, empty vase' vibe.
*cue mariah carey* they belong togetherrrrr

murong yao the type to either be secretly in love with the empress, or on some similar BS

this emperor chose his 2nd wife over his kids at every point, now he's oh so sad the children are choosing their beloveds over him. cry more, die mad 🤗

😂😂🤣 i like fu yixiao. that man said 🥹🥹leave me, pleasse, you are my weakness 🤲🥹. she said😐😐 bet, packed her bags and went about her own business 😂like no one has time for alla dat

oh i love her, there have been many many dramas i would have dropped if not for her osts

this princess watched that man try to kill her brother, like arguably the only person that loves her in the entire world and she still went with him?? yea i can no longer blame her foolishness on the empress' upbringing

sa dingding's ost omg! i don't necessarily find the song interesting, but the technique captured me. the way she's crooning? its like the drama is her baby and she's singing over it trying to put it to sleep, the way her voice fades in and out? nah she is goated

anyway this was silly, it gave 'much ado for nothing' in the end, and the romance was non-existent, although the cp had potential. i don't recommend
