10k is the 30k heat index equivalent for iQiyi and Youku.
Tencent has a few dramas every year that reach 30k since it introduced the heat index but 32k isn't that common. The show with the highest heat index ever archived is currently Joy of Life Season 2 with a peak heat index of 34 389. Basically any expensive or prestige drama on Tencent aims for 30k because engagement sells the drama.

All these women on screen are such a nice sight to see. I love Xiuwan's character development. She is really becoming the anti-thesis to Cuique.

"Conveniently". She had already come of age as a noble woman before leaving the capital. Of course she can play the game every noble woman from the capital can.

Ep 29: If there is no second slap, I hope she ices him out to hell and back. You didn't promise Jinqi? You said you wouldn't force her. Current behavior: Full of shit.

The way Lanxiang rolled her eyes when Jinqi went on about them spending the night together even while in different beds had me rolling. Our poor girl is so done.

Also, First Madam Lin is still such a good mom. She has her hands full with this family.

Ep 27

That slap was so satisfying. She should have slapped him again a few times instead of knocking against his shoulder.

Saw the trailer for Immortalis and she stood out with her sharp looks! I'm curious to see her acting. Her starting out with two Wuxia roles seems promising for the fighting scenes.

Love to see more original dramas!

Same, I'm glad the Opera singer shows another side of the story. Otherwise survival would have been too vilified given the choice of the Duke's wife.

I'm glad it was confirmed that Lanxiang didn't (yet) love Scholar Han either. It was getting awkward how set-up their romance felt while Lanxiang had no opinion on their betrothal/wedding .

I hope we see more of Xiuru given Jinqi and the Marquis will keep scheming.

I agree with the others that the Duke's daughter wouldn't have left her alone and that through her commoner status she is firmly into thriving instead of surviving mode now. Plus being pushed into sexual slavery is what made her female relatives kill themselves. I'm sure that influenced her to retaliate more quickly and firmly. At this point she also might feel comfortable dealing with the snakes visiting the Lin house, lol, considering this is number three.

In a way Zhang Yulao became a guardian of the gold by the end.

One of the best paced endings I have seen in a long time even if it was a tragic ending for so many, Wusu Sea gives hope.

Couldn't watch todays episodes and now I'm seeing the counter. I thought I could watch four tomorrow... 😭

It had nothing to do with the Zhao family. The Du siblings are just exceptionally greedy and envious.

So sweet to get a Against the Current and Orchid Fragrance Remains reference in one episode! The show is really getting into the thick of things. The Du siblings were/are so delusional.

Absolutely hilarious to me for how long Nanke walked around with blood covering his whole hand.
