Martial

And him trying not to be affected by her closeness.

I'm convinced Shifu's goal in life is to make everyone as miserable as him because every time he shows up on screen, I instantly become miserable lol

It might break even more if my suspensions are correct that Shaozi might be a double agent but I cannot confirm because the novel translation is nuts sometimes lol

LOL sis might as well have said "I can smell the bullshit from here,"

It's Haishi calling out the Emperor's fake illness for me. And him realising he always grants her requests lol

Considering the trailers show her in Huku attire, I am guessing she doesn't die and it must've been a ploy. But honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that was a dream sequence and the trailers were trolling us.

Nope just his hair lol

Wang Sen who plays Zhuoying is such an emotive actor. He's able to release just the right amount of reaction to the scene yet also has great restraint when needed. I wanna see him in more dramas please!

The black lipstick for Lord Chang's mysterious visitor is making me laugh along with the scene of Tilan undressing like was it necessary for the slow mo and shining lights? But Haishi's punishment was funny though. Sis was making him want to take a few cold showers by her hand gestures

Xu Kaincheng's acting as the crazy Emperor was must more natural and now the character switch just seems so mechanic. And poor physician, it's not his fault you were delusional and tyrannical that you gave her contraception -_____-

And Youdu's eyes when she said they're friends. Not the friendzone lol

I swear, sometimes they even cut in mid-action like okay lol goodnight then.

She really will. It will be sad when shifu makes Haishi and Zhuoying go against each other though.

The comment section and Yang Mi are the only thing keeping me onto this show.

I tried to watch it as much as I could but the acting was just tragic. The supporting characters had better range. And the storyline is giving me web novel vibes.

Not phone peony! She really thought she was gonna be successful.

I am too! At this point, they're not really serving any purpose other than to fill the time.

That probably explains her sadness in the upcoming episodes. But that maid always gave me villain vibes. I wonder if this signal some sort of breakdown between Tilan and the Emperor? I gotta stop watching these drama trailers because they end up trolling.

Haishi trying to kill the Emperor in ep.36 is giving me ep.5 vibes when he taunts Haishi by saying, "You want to kill me and I want you to kill me," lol

That seems way more sensible for a plot. I felt like they were way too ambitious especially if they had no clear direction on how the story would progress from such a short novel. Also, the pacing is inconsistent and I think that's what's throwing me off tbh. But this is Tencent and they will milk the hell out of something until the last drop of milk is left. Right now, this drama is giving me Wattpad vibes and that's never a good thing.

Exactly. He was among some of the most heroic and manliest of Huku men and that's how his ass walks in? Make it make sense someone. They even paved the way for him and he just strolled in like really? These villains are so laughable. And the director and editing team need to learn how to cut the eps properly. It's so awkward.

Ikr. At this point, I only want to see Haishi rule and look fab in her Consort clothes. Everything else just needs to happen at this point so that I see it. This drama has passed the point of no return for me.

Exactly! Her anger or revenge aimed at the Emperor, I can accept because all of her angst and pain has come into fruition because of his inability to heal from his past. If it's because of Haishi's arrival then I'm taking a que from Su Ming and rebelling, but with a little more flare.

I can see why all the young women love to throw fruits into his cart!
