Ever watched the Rise of Ning?

Writers just wrote themselves into a corner IMO. Like don't sell me on a modern royal romance when what you want is to write a piece about the horrors of a monarchy. SMH.

It's such a stupid plot point.

Exactly The whole reason to watch the show is b/c of the monarchy. A modern monarchy is the whole selling point. Taking it away and it's just another modern romance/political drama between regular rich folk

SMH

First 8 episodes was so fun. SMH

Reading the comments - are the going the abolish the monarchy route?

lol

I'm too lazy to go find my comment where I called that ending - among other things.

Sigh.

Well, I'll always have the first eight episodes.

Hmm...is Ye Xian gonna lose his position?

There's an image of him in chains and stock at the end of Ep.. 25.

Oh can some one explain exactly what position was removed?

Captions said "Inspector" but some clarity would be nice.

These two have good chemistry, but it's not sexual in the least. It feels loving and sincere, but no sexual tension to speak of.

I know there's a lot of changes from the book, but does Chen manage to take down the Evil Teacher?

I had faith in the young emperor. But how is he gonna be talked into arresting the Marquis? I know the Evil Teacher was trying to make the title non-hereditary b/c Ye Xian is now a part of the Penal Guard..but still. C'mon young Emperor. Be better.

Seems like his mom would be the regent - I've been a bit confused by that as well.

Why would the emperor issue a decree against his family?

I know someone dies...I'm assuming it's his dad.

For sure. lol

I know you lying????

WHAT?????

lol

WHAT?????

The ML is keeping an eye on him too. They are eye-ing each other. lol. Guess we get to see who is gonna make the first move.

Exactly. They were trying to marry him off so he didn't accept any of the proposals for 3 years? 2 years? What?

Such great fashion this time period.

The Gu family???? WHAT????
