It was for the greater good. Shen Yi and Prince Jin didn't know they were protecting Yan Han instead of Yan Huai (though Shen Yi was planning to investigate but he was killed off before then). In addition, revealing the truth would absolutely destroy the country. Citizens would absolutely question all the prior good laws that were established. The legitimacy of the throne would come into question too and it will give rise to rebellions. Other countries will take this chance to attack them too.

Yan Han at the end of the day was seen as a "good" emperor by the commoners. Even Empress Dowager said Yan Han was a better Emperor for the people than Yan Huai. When it comes down to it, this was a "family conflict". The commoners didn't do anything to deserve being dragged into instability or into wars just because there was some mess with these imperial people killing over each other for greed or power or their personal revenge. It is also why at the end; they added in new established laws to the criminal code that can ensure /normal citizens/ will be protected more. Because at the end of the day, these imperial people had privileges and options that would have allowed them to do things differently. Someone like Qing didn't have the resources to get her justice in the judicial way. While someone like Yan Ze dragged too many people into his plot, even innocent people into it when he didn't have to. Class and gender played a big role in this drama.

Haha for sure, the best practice is just doing it, he has been filming non-stop at this point. LLD is just one of his better acting partners (not to say his other acting partners were bad, but LLD is one of the top actresses in her age group already, so he gained a lot from working with her).

The director of this drama is also a pretty good one because she didn't just take the easy way out and allow the first cut to pass (which some directors do just to finish in time or they don't want to fight with the actors/actresses who think they know more). She made sure to get the best acting for the scene.

Yes, you can see it on the Chinese iQiyi website! But if you don't have access but have Chinese social medias like XHS, you can still see it since people screenshot these things and talk about it.

ARP probably learned a lot from LLD (which shows his will to improve since he is still considered a novice in acting). There were behind the scenes of him literally recording LLD with his phone during filming together to study her acting. It was also mentioned by one of the screenwriters that he would watch replays of LLD's performances on the monitors. He definitely put in the effort for this drama, and you can see his improvement compared to say his first ever drama.

6 is considered passing on Douban. It is really 7+ above that is considered good. This drama got skewed on the lower end due to the traffic star fans' involvement, but it is still passing with the range and it being an idol drama. There are a lot of praises for the last case too so this drama will have a pretty long positive running effect (even more people will tune in to watch).

The plot summary on MDL is not accurate at this time. Instead of sisters, it will be 3 friends. Li Landi's character is Han Chinese, Xia Zi, who grew up in Kashga, later left, and then came back due to reasons.

Tbh, good dramas on there without involvement of traffic stars can get good scores (usually 7 and above) if they are actually good. Li Landi's dramas like "My Huckleberry Friends", "The Starry Love", "Angels Fall Sometimes", and "Filter" are all in the 7-8+ range on Douban.

Usually, the traffic fandom and antis balance itself out, so the score is still "correct", but this drama doesn't have the traffic fanbase to balance it out so it being 6+ at this point is a very good thing. Li Landi herself has also built a rep of having decent/good dramas, so non-fan viewers aren't going to see this score and think it is some terrible drama.

Yeah, Yan Sui is his son too. He treated him really well before too until the murder of Consort Jin happened and Prince Sui became scared of him. So he now only ended up caring about Yan Li.

"Coroner's Diary" hit 10K heat index 6 days in a row. Congrats! 🎉🎉🎉

My pleasure. 💕

The drama on Douban opened at 6.4 and has now dropped to 6.3 due to the influx of 1-star ratings (likely by the traffic star fans). 6+ is considered passing on Douban so it is fine especially since our leads don't have the fans to fight against this type of purposeful downvoting. I think this drama deserves around 6.8 - 7 on Douban but anything above a 6 at this point is good when you have these fans out to get this drama.

These traffic star fans have been pissed every single day now and are basically taking it out on this drama.

Just a correction, Yan Sui is the son of the fake Emperor and Consort Jin. Yan Han has 2 sons at the end.

Yup! It should be done filming by around September, takes 2 months to film.

To summarize:

Real emperor/Yan Huai - 3 sons (Prince Jin, Yan Che, and Yan Qi) and 1 daughter (Yan Zhen)
Fake Emperor/Yan Han - 2 sons (Yan Li and Yan Sui)
Prince Rui (brother) - 1 son (Yan Chi)
Prince Xin (half-brother) - 1 son (Yan Ze)

Yes, since their fathers' mother is the Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager's 3 sons in the drama are Yan Huai, Yan Han, and Yan Lin. In the novel, only Yan Huai and Yan Han were her sons. All the other sons/princes were from concubines.

The drama never stated it clearly and I forgot his relationship line in the novel. I think his father, Prince Xin, was one of the brothers.

Edit: I checked on XHS and it seems like Prince Xin is the son of the previous Emperor and a concubine.

No, the emperor did say both Yan Chi and Yan Ze are eligible for the throne. They are just not his direct "sons". He was saying he has nephews and relatives that he can name as heir to the throne.

At least 10 people. 🤣 Our mains are safe though! But you have to really watch it to take it all in. The last few episodes are amazing.

Yup, and not just him.

The laws at the end wrapped up all the cases so well that I have to post it, Qin Wan really did her thing:

"Anyone who kills due to emotional reasons, anyone who beats a cohabitant to death, whether married or not, shall have their punishment increased by one level. Anyone who deliberately kills a cohabitant, whether married or not, shall be sentenced to death with immediate execution" (Case 1 & Case 2).

"Anyone who molests a young girl, shall be exiled 3,000 miles to a remote/harsh province. Anyone
who rapes a young girl shall be strangled" (Case 2 & Case 5).

"Anyone who, under the pretext of medical treatment, removes organs from a living person or caused injuries shall be strangled. Those who committed murder shall be beheaded immediately" (Case 3).

"Anyone who violates the law while resisting unjust harm shall receive reduced punishment based on circumstances, so the righteous will not suffer unjustly" (Case 2 & Case 4).

"Anyone who gathers crowds to promote evil occult practices or spreads rumors to deceive the public, shall, on minor offenses, be relocated for 3 years and detained for re-education until they understand proper principles (Case 7 & 8).

"Anyone who causes physical harm or injury to another person through beating shall be exiled 3,000 miles" (Case 3 & 4).

"Anyone who murders or rapes women or children shall be beheaded immediately" (Case 2 & 5).
