WRC mentioned during one of the weibo livestreams that dudu did get heatstroke when they were filming their strangling scene 😰 no wonder they both looked like they were suffering on camera

ugh again that's the screenwriter being shit at his job... we don't see it in the drama but yes in the novel, xiao xun didn't exactly let her build proper connections. she basically had no "chess pieces" to play with on the board = she had no power

that court scene was hilarious lol he's got no backers... he should've sat there and let chu zhao handle things 😭

you'll get it tomorrow hehe

ohhh wow they finally revealed the motive... xiaonan + northern desert's collusion would've been a way to expose chu zhao's mom for being a northern desert defector

💪💪💪

haha a yu is still so tiny it makes the headrest look comically big in comparison 😭 that can't be good for his neck/spine

deng yi is truly the fence-sitting champion of the great chu

an exciting way to start the day heh

LMAO i see you've been really dedicated to the killing agenda

chu zhao's ultimate goal has also changed to include peace for the realm sooo they gotta deal with the northern desert once and for all! also maybe to further establish XYL's reputation? redeem himself for "abandoning post" like deng yi accused? haha i gotta wait a few hours before i can watch today's ep but i'm excited

ohhh i haven't, but i remember that scene of his oath from the trailer! he's gonna bring back the northern desert king's head whee

since we ended ep 17 with XYL starting his investigation, i hope he gets to the bottom of it in today's ep 🤔

i can't recall which prev eps exactly but he's there at the beginning of ep 16! he's deng yi's manservant, so whichever scenes he appears in, shao you's probably nearby

yeah i really hope it's not a rushed ending... in the novel xiao xun actually dies in the beginning of the third? fourth? volume so there was still plenty of story left. based on WRC's interview, he poisons/kills his dad 🤫 and based on reuters, it looks like XYF's gonna burn himself (to death?) ...everything that leads up to that is a mystery we'll have to wait for hahaha i also wanna see everyone get their just deserts

just saw previews on douyin... the chu garden literary gathering arc is in today's episode????????? 👀

"no allies, no favors, no talking(?) and no friends" she was reborn, not transmigrated HAHA she has to work to level the playing field first, and then make it advantageous for her plans later. you're still on the early stages of her growth!!

well... i'm looking forward to see what happens in the drama, but if they follow the novel then 1) xiao xun dies (probably at chu zhao's own hands, as seen from some trailer clips + WRC's interview) 2) deng yi is under chu zhao's thumb forever 3) xie yanfang is crippled for life and can't really plot against anyone anymore. also a happy ending for our leads—chu zhao achieves her wish of peace for the realm for a yu's reign, then goes to wander the world!

hmm i wonder if XYL's gonna leave to hunt down the northern desert king in ep 18 or 19 😳 separation arc soon... we're getting closer to the endgame

XYL was just the xie clan's tool in the grand scheme of things so we'll probably find out what actually happened and who actually planned it later
