damn i'm going to have to maximise my productivity these few hours before the express package drops because i'm not going to be focus on anything else after i savour the final episodes...
the brief dialogue between XFF and general xiao was cute ah i hope XH and his grandfather eventually reconcile 🥹 "i no longer have a home" is such a heartbreaking thing to say to the last living member of your family
The princess story is depressing to me. I don't really enjoy it. I love the actress acting though.
yeah i personally find sexual violence a really heavy theme to digest, but i think both the actress and writing team handled it well. truly the real evil is patriarchy
people have posted really interesting and thoughtful discussions about SYR and princess wanning but rn all i can say is that i love evil women and will always give them more grace than i do evil men ☝️ i won't stand for it if SYR remains alive at the end
OK, is it me or is SYR also trying to find some kind of herb to have psycho princess lose their “Child“? There…
oh shoot that would be so evil of him (although unsurprising) 😬 i thought he might be trying to find out if XFF had used a herb to induce the pseudo-pregnancy symptoms but i can totally see him doing it for the reason you mentioned
(also it was "matrilocal" — i'd never seen this word before haha apparently it's a term for when the husband marries into the wife's family/community)
i honestly can't wait to see how the rebellion + subsequent war will play out 🫣 one last wild ride before our leads' happy ending...
XH and his grandfather's relationship is so interesting 👀 i'm glad we got to see tidbits of his backstory today. the conspiracy thickens!!! this has me really excited for the final arc ahhh
to be fair she did tell XH that her plan was to offer SYR a chance to confess to his crimes because she expected…
in ep 32 she says to him: "you have yet to be doomed forever. [...] i know you still have a clear conscience. this is the last chance i'm giving you." if SYR had agreed to go down the right path with her and confess to his crimes to the emperor, then she could've gotten her name cleared!
(+ in ep 33 when they meet in jail she brings up that night's incident, and says: "i once believed your conscience was intact and gave you a chance.")
Is the medicine that Consort Li has been feeding the Emperor of any significance? It seems that way based on the…
i was also wondering the same since the cut seemed pretty intentional... but i can't imagine how harming the emperor would benefit her, especially after she refused to collude with princess wanning/king cheng
What does the 3 word phrase say in episode 36 please? This is quite frustrating.
收官礼? it's something like closing ceremony — so it's a celebration(?) of the end of the drama. like a sort of finale (but it doesn't necessarily mean 36 is the final ep)
