She'd spared the grandma earlier

Wow the female lead replied with brutal honesty. Harsh truth for the dad

Oh yes, exasperating. So easily swayed and manipulated. How did he climb up to that high position?

Mother and daughter are both the same. It's always someone else's fault, never theirs

Ahahahahah yes absolutely

To the public the problem could easily lie with the dad. Women around him dropped like flies. First wife died. Concubine hanged herself. Second wife a criminal or whatever she is now. First daughter died. Second daughter was a juvie. Third daughter in a coma. Brother's daughter scarred, for life

K this was a heavy episode

All her pawns? Did the emperor forget Shen?

Yes, you should be sorry. I blame them all, even the female lead

Just senseless. Why play on our emotions like that?

No no no why?

No no noooooooo

Ep 28. Ok this Yue-er counterattack is brilliant

Beginning of ep 27. This 4th sister shows promise. Are we sure she didn't add on to his injuries when she was alone with him at that temple or house after her two sisters had left?

Ah the mid-show sudden stupidity syndrome

Maids and servants can be cold and need winter clothing too...

Jiang Li on her deathbed told the female lead she hated her dad and every Jiang. And that even six feet under, she'd curse every one of them to come to a bad end. I'd thought the female lead would be wreaking havoc and was very much looking forward to it

Yep, no redemption arc please. They both need to go down as the villains that they are.

I was surprised by that shove she gave the female lead at the banquet. Deliberate or accidental. Did she really want the female lead to hurt or even kill Shen?

Oh. I hope he does do something eventually. Turn the tables on the princess or something

Speaking of which, I was disappointed that both Jiang Jing Rui and Ye did nothing. Only Shen and the male lead stepped up to help the female lead at the banquet
