This drama just DOES NOT let up. Just when I think there is no more despicable act left, these schemers up the ante and come up with something unfathomably worse. It’s on par with “The Double” in villainy and intrigue. Mind blown 🤯.
Miss Wu is like an ancient day K-pop idol. I felt sad when she was smiling while eating 🥲🥲
Her cheeks were stuffed like a little chipmunk. She was eating so gleefully. It was both cute and pitiful. Mostly pitiful 😔. I’m both sad and happy for her. Mostly sad.
Can someone explain the Grand Empress Dowager tomb relocation stuff, I don't get it [from the end of episode 26]
Grand Dowager wants to be buried in her husband’s (the former emperor) tomb when she dies, but she wants it to be spruced up and renovated first because it’s old. Her grandson doesn’t care for his grandfather nor father (the former emperors) because they treated him badly as a child. Also, renovating is a huge expense and takes funds away from the starving, drought victims. The FL/ML came up with a masterful ruse to trick the Dowager into giving up her wishes to renovate the tomb. The young emperor was relieved and could finally use the money to help the citizens.
Previously, his grandmother, the Grand Dowager, was accusing him of being unfilial when he wouldn’t agree to honor her burial wishes. Scheming Madam Yu took advantage of the situation with FL/ her father/her deceased grandmother and made the Dowager think that the FL was also unfilial like her own grandson. Madam Yu did this to try to turn the Royal family against the FL and ML—and it worked too, until the FL/ML understood what had happened.
