Anaristos

What really ticks me off is the fact that the senior brother gave her the poison w/o explaining what it would do. What’s worse, after the FL finds out what it did to him, she is still chummy with senior brother. Neither SB nor FL are very repentant about it.

Why the He got killed? Remember the guy that got beat up by Ling’er’s sevants at the beginning? His father, a powerful minister, had a feud with the He family. He became the regent on the emperor’s passing and caused the He family to be charged with treason by forging a letter. This feud dominates the entire drama. The underage emperor (her friend) recruited her to topple the regent. She is secretly a Left General (a ministerial rank).

I hope you can distinguish between the actor and the character they are portraying. If not, please turn yourself in at the nearest psychiatric facility. You are a potential menace to society.

The idea was interesting. The plot was hard to follow because the subtitles were terrible. It seems they used an automatic translator (w/o AI).

I first saw her in Royal Rumors. It was fun to watch her interact with Jeremy Tsui.

I didn't know working was like a prison sentence. You have no choice but to do it, right? She doesn't work for you and you don't have to like her. You are way out of line criticizing someone whose work you are not able to do yourself.

Well, respect doesn't cover it completely. He is her uncle by virtue of being her step mother's brother. This not taken lightly. He is as entitled to be called "uncle" as her step mother is entitled to be called "mother". It is optional, true, but something very wrong would have to happened between them for her to fail to give him the title.

The numbering is the absolute birth order. One ordering for males and one for females. That makes Third Son the third bou born. to Second Master, Seventh Miss, his seventh daughter.

I haven't run into First or Second. They are either diseased or not in the Capital. Just like for 10 years Seven Sister was away.

Second Master...First Master is the diseased husband of Grandmother.

I put them between 18 and 21. She had been gone 10 years and looked 6 to 8 when she left. He is about her age, maybe 1 or 2 years older.

The solution already exist. I am only to EP 8, but I am betting that somehow Seven Sister will learn that Second Master is not her father. Since Third Son nows the truth, he will probably be the one who informs her. After all, he and his staff, are the only ones in the manor who knows the truth.

The numbering is the birth ordering regardless of the mother. Third Son was the third boy born and Seventh Miss, the seventh girl. This is usually the case.

Yes, she was a product of rape. She is not really a Lou.

It does bother me. However using the sins of others to justify your own is terribly flawed logic. Imagine taking such attitude to its extreme. It would seal humanity's fate.

She has done all the good ones.

I didn't like his character in Hello Mr. Gu. Never have gotten over it.

Happy Birthday!

Who said she is not the most beautiful? I can look at her all day 😍，她太漂亮了

The problem with the feminist troupe is not that it is bad, or misused. The problem is that just about every drama, with very few exceptions, has this troupe. I agree with the theme, so give me some credit and assume I've taken the message to heart. Try indoctrinating me on something else. So, IMHO, the hammering of the point earns the drama some demerits. Trust me, I am crazy about Ms. Tan, ever since I watched her in Under the Power (same ol' troupe in that one too), so it isn't the cast, the cinematography or anything else. It is just that the subtext is getting old fast.
