And for the army , common folks did not have a choice for centuries, even now some countries have mandatory military service, and yes mega scandals happen all the time even now we have them and do you see super powerful get punished like big companies etc. rarely..

Ok , that was not my point but simple search did the job, well emperors killed for throne either to win or secure or just to conquer and be the most powerful throughout history, Romans did it, china did it, others did it…. (Also before he waged wars and killed) The Hongwu Emperor (Ming Dynasty, China): After winning the throne and establishing the Ming Dynasty, he systematically executed an estimated 30,000 to 100,000 military officers, officials, and suspected rivals over several years to ensure his successors wouldn't be challenged. he ruled 30 years until his death by natural causes… Also if we discuss fiction there is a lot of examples, from revenge stories .. but my point still is not who killed more or justified, My point was they do not want women to rule, even if she was the only family left from emperor and clean as white paper they wouldn’t , even her son is not rightful heir , ex Emperor sent a decree to protect East palace…. So that selfish prince was in line…. Not that I like any of them

For throne fight we saw emperors scheme and kill ruthlessly all the time, my point is they want a male emperor just because gender, may be if they accepted a female she wouldn’t have to scheme this much , I don’t think what she has done is right or justified.

I think it is about gender, throne usually means fight, scheming and killing …. We see all the time , brothers kill each other or even good characters in the name of justice kills tons of irrelevant people or wage war in the name of revenge … so when a competent women does that it is much worse .. .. all for they want a inexperienced and less smart boy on the throne rather than a competent and smart women….

I think they want the emperor just because he is a male, yes empress may be a bad person but she governed the nation pretty well, made water ways etc as ye li mentioned, also she is wise as a politician, but the emperor is for me inexperienced and selfish, when he took that man from prince ding he never thought consequences, only himself…. So main reason they want emperor just because they do not women in politics even if they are much better….

Oh my please do not be tooo tragic, ( I am gonna settle with little tragedy since it happens with most second mls :( )

Ok I am 6th episode and my second lead syndrome kicks in:) please don’t be too tragic.. and I think female lead is very beautiful and does good job , kinda biased cuz liked her

Well , that’s the case with no dna test era with genemaniac kings, they need to make sure but still failed at times . And I agree for brainwashed girls but a little bit experienced women might differ. And as said before I would like to believe/imagine some just do it for their own pleasure, no claims on history whatsoever.

Well , I really do not know the manhwa but what you said about moral code makes sense. Still I would like to believe women of that time has some forbidden pleasures too as a woman myself , I have watched some historical dramas when women couldn’t conceive they slept with their slaves , may be then also they were doing it just for fun too ( well not fair to slaves but nothing is fair ) :) and for male lead here I think that one night stand is just his excuse to corner her, it seemed to me he thinks this girl is the one for him, because she said I know and blah… before bedding him , also may be because she said all those things he let her do whatever she wanted , he is pretty cunning I guess …and I agree he is taking advantage of one night stand and forcing her , well for me it is fun and for the male courtesan drama I would like to watch it , sounds fun :)
thanks for discussion and insight too :)

Well for me this drama is fun , I hope nothing too tragic happens , I need a lighthearted one once in a while:)

Well usually I find it hard to believe when any male ( lead or second lead usually) in historical dramas refuse beauties, I mean they are young and full of hormones lol:) may be in ancient times people have much more restraint but still puberty ( they are usually in late teens or early twenties ) hormones are still hormones I guess :)

I didn’t perceive as bad light actually, seems to me she knows she is in a novel and acts like that, like watching drama I like Ml but usually had a second ml syndrome :)

Yes he would be or both child and mother would be in grave danger , BJS asked that Yu Ya for child and she said better not have it. And I am not meaning informing father when in mortal realm but before resurrecting when she sealed BJS, She was right to not trusting him, but before sealing him she might as well told him they had a child and this happened and sealed him anyways, ( in that case BJS even breaking free from seal wouldn’t messed last hope of the child’s) and I think by sealing her powers in mortal realm BJS was trying to protect her from that heavenly envoy and bunch behind that envoy, so there might be huge misunderstanding there, otherwise BJS seem to me too much in love to hurt Ruyue , so I am guessing we will see if it is so or not … it is not I am blaming FL ,but after so many revenge schemes against ML , he is still so much in love nd gives in so it is hard to believe he just did what he did because of selfishness and protect his seat in gods …

Well I get that but she never let BaiJuiSi know about the child, praying in temple doesn’t let BaiJuiSi to know about child , he was in the dark, may be like her mortal shifu said if she told BaiJuiSi , he would help her because he was also his child, well if they spoke and solve everything we wouldn’t have drama to watch … but I would may be prefer a dramatic change in her and go against whole realms and be a evil goddess lol… she only blaming BaiJuiSi is a little off for me, there were too many factors leading her child’s death . Yes final blow unknowingly came from his father and she only resents him… and as I understand if her powers hasn’t sealed when she Was pregnant baby would harm her in mortal world… we will see how they will wrap up things but in my view she has become too narrow minded with hatred

I am on ep.23 and yes BaiJuiSi May be left her but she was also at fault and Why Does She not hate humans more after all she has done done to protect them they tried to kill them and bully her child…. I guess after all suffering she needs a target and that’s Baijuisi …

Thanks a lot :)

I wanted to see ZX to end up with Liu Feng Shuang or at least more screen time , but it seens even in book it is open ended so I imagine then together :)

So I want to read novel but couldn’t find English version :(

Does anyone know will we have season 3?

I would like to read it too but there is no English version which I could find, and to be honest for Ning I would like her more if there was a different voice (I don’t know if it is her own voice or voice actress) , and I have read in the comments in the book she is much smarter and shrewd and only acting like spoiled child cuz she is afraid of chieftain, in my opinion this portrayal of Ning not fitted the description other that actually as you said she is young and no experience that is true , may be I just wanted to see a strong female
