omg ep 35... Yang Si you're Cuck Si now

Surprisingly fun show. Ending bit rushed and confusing imo. Also did not like their use of AI in opening. Love the lead couple, I watched their other short drama and expect them to go viral when they finally get their big break (fingers crossed). Also Against the Current's Jiugao is 2ML here 👀

I'm pretty sure the implication here is that Liu Wenji wants to install the royal grandson as the future crown prince early on

ep 34 Wenji's plot is happening

There was an implication in one of the episodes that he knows he would never be allowed to take Chunhua as a wife prior to his eunuchification due to their differences in status.

There's no guarantee though. She could easily just get raped/murdered and then the enemy countries would STILL invade and rape/murder women in the country. The princess is nothing more than a symbolic peace treaty object and if the enemy countries really wanted to invade & had the strength they will, woman or not. She would just be the first person slaughtered

MENG ZAISHI NOOOOOOOO

ep 32

Liu Wenji may be a scheming eunuch now too but he's still saurrr fine

"also known as Daddi Tang" lol as in daddy or...

Unpopular opinion but I don't want General Meng to die :( but I know he must for the FL to succeed lol. but he's so sexy and i love seeing a strong man beholden to his feelings hehhehehehehe

I like that ultimately, all the royal family are unlikeable because this is pretty realistic.

FL helping Crown Prince in oppressing commoners for her own agenda of seizing power. The Crown Prince is a narcissist POS who is greedy for power, oppressing common people so he can build power. Prince Jin being a disgusting perverted toad who takes advantage of women. Lanling Grand Princess ruthlessly taking advantage of disenfranchised men for her own desires. The emperor claiming that he wants to rule the empire fairly, but he was clearly useless enough for a while to the point that a eunuch could seize power from under him, and now he's paranoid that everyone who saved him will now turn on him.

In the end, no matter what they try or claim, none of these royals actually GAF about the common people and only care about "me, me, me." The rot of the palace is in full display. When titans clash, the common people suffer.

I think u need to watch ep 27/28 to read this spoiler

I actually feel quite touched by the relationship between Yu Cheng'an and the Grand Princess Luling. Arguably Luling didn't have any other redeeming qualities on her, while Yu Cheng'an sometimes was surprisingly fair in his decision making.

And the irony is that Yu Cheng'an is not the biggest fish in the kingdom that needs to be fried....

and the crown prince is trash too

its ok, i thought he was gonna care too :( he's terrible

I knewwww that bich was gonna steal the baby and throw Chunhua aside

ep 29

it's explained in the rest of the episode - he wants Yang si to kill Yan Shang

when Yu Cheng'an was toppled and we are only just over halfway, I was like ???

then the emperor showed his true colours......
