Bi_Myself

Ep 64: It's serious vexing how forgiving she is towards the emperor. That man has literally made her go through hell several times and every time she runs back to him smiling whenever he shows any modicum of care. 🫩🫩🫩

Ep 63: That was the reason for all that pain?

Ep 62: I'm so tired. Yingluo has done nothing but fight and fight. I'm exhausted in her behalf. How easy for people to turn against her; her so called sworn brother, lover, benefactors. All those that are invariably loyal to her are dead, the other one is not only powerless to do anything but also a major root of the problems she's facing. How can these women be so vicious.
The emperor that claims to be so smart and so well educated is nothing but a big fool. What Wei Yingluo said when he was sick still rings true; he's the biggest whore in the harem. Going where the wind blows with no regards for who he cuts down. For me, he's the greatest villain and undeserving of Yingluo. How dare he ask for her unbridled love and affection when she has repeatedly witnessed and experience just how badly he fails those who care about him. Claims to be the most powerful person in the empire but can't even guarantee the safety of the person he claims to love. To hell with him and always putting everything first before her.

Same, maybe because I dislike the concept of a harem but the emperor is the most fickle and dangerous person to leave your heart and life in his care. In just 13 years of reign, so many of his wives have died. That is not a good sign.

Beginning of Ep 61: I really thought Yingluo had finally found a true friend. I keep recalling Consort Chun's words when Yingluo was still a main at Changchun palace that her kind heart will be her downfall.
It's quite unfortunate.

Ep 58: I fear we're losing the plot.

Ep 51: Consort Xian is my favourite type of villain. A truly virtuous and traditional woman being made aware of her innate viciousness by people around her testing her patience. Other than her being a catalyst to Fuca Rong Yi's death, I can't say that I despise her actions.

Ep 40: The subtle foreshadowing when Mingyu said that a person in a bad mood might decide to just throw themselves off when they see the view from the high place.
I'm devastated.
The entire Changchun palace is so incompetent, how did they even survive before Yingluo stepped into the picture.

The emperor is a fucking bastard. Your wife just lost her son and you're going on about responsibilities. I know that that was how he was trained, to put his responsibilities above all, but if he had even an iota of human empathy, he should've known to console her or agree to Fu Heng's suggestion to recuperate outside. What is the use of the far reaches of an empire when your house is on fire.
What a useless man.
Ironically the only slightly useful man in this series is a eunuch.

Ep 39: Is this not too much pain for this woman. The nicest and most pure hearted person in this series and this is what they're doing to her. 3 babies??? I can't even take this any more. I thought it was a lie and immediately went to episode 40. But it's real. Her only child has been murdered again.

Episode 23: I was right to hate Fu Heng when he first appeared and was telling Yingluo not to look down on men. Not only did he sabotage her Plan but he also told on her and claimed it was for her own good. His audacity. Even that sneaked in kiss on the cheek.

There is audacity and then there is Wei Yingluo. In all my years of watching and reading historical Cdramas, I've never seen any character with half the balls as Yingluo.

Wasn't imprisonment an option?

Do actual Japanese get this much hate? I'm sure there are so many descendents of national traitors that are jumping onto this bandwagon of hate, without being aware of their own ancestry. Another Korean woman being held up to unreasonable standards.

I always shed tears after each episode; whether from happiness, grieve, anger or just pure satisfaction. This series is the perfect soul food.

Very interesting concept, but why were they lying so much to people that came to get their fortunes read.
That was the only annoying thing, other than that, it's very enjoyable.

So many options, I can barely keep up.

Is it just me or did Foon get so much more fine after he faked his death. His thug persona was really weighing down his good looks.

Bei Lüqing is one of the worst MLs; not in the typical toxic way, but in the "I don't really care about you" way. He throws crumbs of affection at Xiaofan and of course he gobbles it up, he has been starved of basic affection all his life and Bei Lüqing was lucky enough to snag him by showing him a little bit of love whenever he felt like.

Meng Tinghui: mutilates her royal tattoo to prove allegiance to Daning.

10 seconds later: Threatens to kill herself to secure the freedom of the very man that has been threatening the stability of the entire kingdom.

This entire sequence becomes even more annoying when you realise that she was very much aware of his involvement and planned with the emperor to flush him and his accomplice out. Then when their Plan worked, she decided to sabotage it herself for a childhood she has a vague and distant recollection of.

When she even made that statement, i thought they would spare his life, but imprison him. Instead, they let the terrorist leave the palace and city peacefully despite the havoc they had wrought.

She really caused the death of thousands of soldiers and A-Nian just to save the life of a lunatic who would eventually have to die for peace to reign.
