After watching episode 37 and 38 with eng subs, I officially Fucking hate Mingyu and the writers of this drama. All series you made us believe Chengxu Was the smartest, most strategic badass war general. Now, all of a sudden Mingyu and her aunt (current empress) , 2 women with zero experience in War strategy outsmart chengxu and hold his battalions hostage as a way to force him to give up the throne? Makes no damn sense. I hate when shows make a character all knowing. Like hello, that’s not how it works.
The dead emperor is not a genius, he’s a selfish asshole. He did not care about his sons or anyone else. All his decisions were made out of jealousy for his little bro.
