deng yi = money/power
yanfang = himself
pretty much

oooh they better! that's the one highlight that the ML actually deserves LMAO

the author's pretty good at writing fresh twists imo... i loved how chu zhao handled both xiao xun and his dad. i'm hoping we get to see that in the drama too

9905 now!!!!!

yesss that was so fun to read. she wasn't afraid to lose at all!! that's why i laugh when i see comments about disliking how she "always" loses... at least she's a graceful loser (who comes back even stronger LOL)

yeah that really would've help build up a better explanation for why she's so proficient at strategies and manoeuvring all the noble relationships... i know the chu literary garden arc is gonna appear later in the drama but i don't like how they altered it ugh

OP translated some cute cast interactions from the youku comments section 😆

xiao xun: i’ll use the red scarf myself—can a zhao forgive me? i feel awful… 🙇
🐯: if apologies actually worked…

xie yanfang: is the grand princess always this gentle and pleasant with everyone? it makes me seem especially cold and unapproachable 😢
🐯: the grand princess has always been considerate towards everyone~

deng yi: i swear on my life, the grand princess is my only favourite from now on!
🐯: the grand tutor’s credibility score is in the negatives!

xie yanlai: i said i’d come back, so i will
🐯: a promise made is a promise kept.

lol meee i don't get it either... she didn't want anything to do with imperial business in the og novel. alas... another chu zhao highlight given to another character

it's just how it is with youku tbh, it gets harder to raise the heat index the closer you are to 10K (not to mention it's harder this year). and it didn't help that they only updated 1 ep on the third day. but the great thing is that there hasn't been a drop!! everyone's still pushing hard!! numbers on dengta show it's only a matter of time

np!

just checked, 9888 now! bells are aiming for 9900 tonight 💪

(mydramalist doesn't really show me which comment you're replying to so sorry if i answer wrong) i just remembered that chu zhao did call her "mother" later on. but at first they were both suuuper awkward with each other and didn't really know how to start becoming "family"

the official ATC account will only promote the official cp, but dudu's studio heard my prayers and co-created videos with the other 3 MLs #eatinggood

oo enjoy!! i'm tempted to read it for a third time LOL

chu zhao and xiao xun dancing together haha

nooo if you look at the viewership from dengta and stuff like their new user acquisition, ATC's data is already on par with dramas that break 10K. it's just that dramas these days have a much harder time/take longer to reach 10K (and that relies on the specific platform metrics)

oooh wow i'm looking forward to it 👀 it was so much more subtle in the novel lol

yeah i love them hehehehe

i wonder if there's gonna be an outright reveal in the drama... in the novel they never outrightly acknowledge the mother-daughter relationship until much later

dudu and xiaotian posted a video together aaaaa they did this for me!!!!
