Mudan also said to Sheng Yi that her desire for a husband isn’t being greedy and reasonable. She told Sheng Yi she’s not stopping her from getting married. Just not to Wang Qing.

I noticed it with the flower petals scene. Like it’s supposed to be romantic and beautiful but I only see darkness lol

I think because of her past, she’s very insecure and question a lot of the bolder decisions Mudan makes. At this point I’m not confident in her to not betray Mudan. It might not be intention though. Maybe she would do something and think it will help her.

Simp door mat and no dignity.

Where is the FL’s self respect?

The best part was when someone tried to strangle her and she’s fighting for her life but he’s speaking to her like it’s no big deal.

It’s getting really depressing and she’s hurt WAYYYYY too often.

Girlfriend can’t catch a break.

okay the FL is CUTE!

Political views aside, it was tropey, the plot was weak and the last few episodes were a disaster. Good for you that you loved it but calling people that didn’t disgusting, wicked and heartless is pretty over the top.

Yes. Don’t forget making out right after.

I agree. They could’ve ended the drama when crazy died. It started out so strong but wow did they botch the ending. War zone? Rambo? Having a heart to heart while screaming at him and then making out at the center of a dangerous area!???? Make it make sense!

It’s very good! One of the better ones this year because the story, chemistry and visuals are excellent.

Yep. The emperor knew for a while the empress was plotting. Bringing Duke Ding back is to ensure the crown prince will have someone to support him when he takes the throne (explained on ep 30).

If he were to just give the crown prince the throne, it would be throwing a sheep into a lion’s den as he didn’t know for sure who was involved. It was later revealed that A LOT of people were involved (some royal family - emperor’s uncle, brother, officials, eunuchs, etc).

I actually thought it was a pretty good plan on the Emperor’s part. Except, he should’ve made better plans on getting Duke Ding back safely.

Duke Ding was killed by the Empress. He was supposed to make it to the capital alive, the crown prince was supposed to speak for him (then earning the Duke’s loyalty for life). Things didn’t work out though.

I think the emperor was unsure just how many people were involved. he was genuinely shocked when they exposed themselves. His goal was to clean house by letting them think they had the upper hand.

Super weird!!! I thought the emperor was wiser than that!

Give it a try! It’s so good!

I find it strange when the emperor was willing to grant any of his wishes because he saw how ruthless Song Han is when he was in the tournament. I wouldn’t trust that!

I’m so sad one of Dou Zhou’s bestie is used as a pawn. I really hope Song Han will be moved by her and don’t go too psycho.
