I block the accounts actually

Finally someone sane here. I’ve been blocking these simp comments like why are you watching this drama 🙄

he looks like Keita Machida or Liu Xueyi to me lol

I feel like the momentum has slowed down as we've moved from the scheming suitors and sisters to slow scheming plots via yunshu and grandma rong being a stubborn goat. yang yitang isn't as fun to watch as yang dicheng was. either grandma needs to be overthrown or yan bai luo needs to make a move

makes sense since she took a long break and they've been together so long. also is this article implying that women should disappear after marriage?

I think this is the right analysis

I don’t think she planned to tell the truth about Madame Yang at first but then she saw her brother deny her and had a change of heart, so schemed Yunyin into bringing Yunwan to court

I'll try to guess that the disappointment is because he's been revealed to be an official and the rongs didn't show much reaction? I don't think they care esp grandma because she didn't want the rongs involved with the Wei-yang case and he involved them. I think they see him as a nuisance who ruined their "harmony" and has brought future troubles for them. for those who are delighted, you have yunyin who thought she had a chance to bring shanbao down and the suitors who think its a chance to ruin the marriage

I suspect it's Yan Bai Lou. He conveniently saw the person that put the blank paper in LJL's room and tried to "convince" cousin wen not to expose it. I saw him smirk as Mr yang got punished. if the theory that he's a Wei is true, then if he marries shanbao it would be parallel to grandma's story with her first love

I find it funny that these comments often come up in gender swap themed dramas but no one is writing long essays for "regular" romance dramas in which the dynamics were even worse in the heydays of harem palace dramas because people are desensitised to these things happening to female characters. at the end of the day this is fantasy because matriarchies cannot exist the way patriarchy does. the narrative and visuals do nothing but fulfil that fantasy. it does nothing to change perception of men in the real world. I even think this drama will eventually flip these dynamics and centre the male lead again because I don't think they are bold enough (or even want) to keep the setup they lured viewers with to the end.

granny is dismissive of yunshu who might possibly bring the biggest disaster to the rong family. yunshu even got past RSB until it was pointed out to her that 5th sister is ruthless. I'm sure RSB tried to praise her in front of Lady Rong so she can pay more attention to her but alas, these people don't hear word until disaster strikes

I love this trope

okay cousin wen has to go man he's become annoying

“Kingdom of Women” apparently has historical basis

This explains why he had crutches! I thought that was weird but didn’t question it

He’s already higher than a magistrate

Steward Cheng favors Liu Xueyi and Keita Machida

she's also short

he's working as if he's about to join the military lmao

yunxi and yunyin thought they were so great at running the business. good! now you get your chance and don't complain when you eventually fuck things up

I've noticed that he spoke about his past freely and they did not outright speak about whether he has recovered his memories. the two have a tacit agreement
