ep 12 review spoilers ahead

1.Yu brings Jishu to his home and proceeds to faun over him and calls him shifu

2.The regent steals the golden feather and changes all the servants. This further weakens the emperor and makes him vulnerable

3.Ling'er wants to help despite Tianyi telling her to, well, f*** off, and she returns to her room to see the strange guy from earlier there with a zither. he claims to be the palace musician and plays a song. because of her improved hearing she can hear the players pain in the music and starts talking about love, loss, and heartache involving a woman...he gives her some cryptic advice about a birthday and making requests...

4.the princess (she is getting on my nerves) is concerned about getting rid of Ling'er, whom she perceives as a threat (honestly, with all this going on you would think she would take the time to focus on consolidating the emperor's power)

5.Tianjun practices martial arts...


6.Ling'er changes into the pretty dress (see the poster, it's that one) and says she will play the zither for the regent

7.A maid of the princess steps on the train of her dress as guards take her away, on Tianyi's order. She trips...the zither snaps int 2, and the regent (whom I guess Ling'er knew as the stranger) loses it and proceeds to try to kill her. He nearly suceeds but stops when he sees the mark of the godess..s

8.The emperor takes her away, intimating she will be the next mistress of his home, and then it looks like he is going to rape her. Then he tells her that she could never move his heart and can't even compare to 'her' before striding away.

9.An extremely angry Tianyi incapacitates guards, busts into the room, uses his whip to reel her in, and forces a bunch of kisses on her (....has the yank awakened?) Looks like! he angrily announces his love confession and claims ownership (literally). At first she is upset but this announcement seems swayed by this confession (It seems Tianjun's worst nightmare has come true....) but then she rejects him to be with the regent? (seems like this is actually not the real her...)

10.Meanwhile Tianjun and servant girl climb a mountain, and she is about to show him her mark....
