Or defecting like Su Ming lol I swear it was the aunts and uncles of so and so. Like if you can't trace it, stay away.

I think they're saving the momentum for the big reveal of her gender when she enters into court. Even in the trailers, there's something majestic about it. And agreed, even after being rejected she's able to carry on. Most of these historical characters never end up well after rejection lol

Everyone looking for a free meal. Someone needs to tell them that a dark alleyway is safer than the imperial palace lol

As much as I dislike the actions of shifu sometimes, I have to keep reminding myself that this is a man whose seen and been through more than the average person. So I try to show him some kindness but he still makes me wanna throw hands too lol

Also, I wonder if Tilan's body is unable to bear children because of her uterine bleeding? It sounds like major damage to her. Seems cruel to make her suffer for so long if she's gonna die in the future (I'm guessing because it seems like she's not gonna be around for long). It seems her whole purpose was to humanise the Emperor but what would happen to him if she too died? Is that where Haishi comes in? As a confidant to him?

I have to commend Haishi's ability to look forward rather than back. It's quite evident in her advice to the Emperor. Life is short, why dwell on the things that make us suffer? Emperor needs to take heed of this advice and heal and be a better person overall. But I do like this interaction between Haishi and the Emperor, it's slowly building towards a trusted friendship.

It's all those royal relatives coming out of the woodworks for me LOL

I was upset as hell in the upcoming trailers when shifu threw away the flowers like sir, those were some beautiful flowers!

You and me both! Waiting for new random updates like it's gonna be great for my health

I guess I'm gonna come back to this when episodes 30ish are aired lol

All the disciples need a two week holiday for their troubles LOL

Can't really be shocked tbh. She gives some of the most dense reviews and hardly has any insight into the original texts or delves deeper. I watched one review she did and she's very biased.

Definitely a combination of both. It's sad to see her have to live the opposite of her sister's life in the Palace. She is nothing but a pawn for everyone to use including people who are supposedly meant to be on her side.

I like Big brother Shaozi too. He can live a good as well! I'd rather be a mermaid because they never seem to age lol

I just want to post up an appreciation post for Big brother Shaozi. Everyone out here having relationships but he's running around doing all the extra leg work lol

Neither. I thought she was trying to impersonate her and try to convince him to send relief to her people but shit got out of hand. And now, I cannot decide whether she is part of a bigger plan but this relationship is toxic asf

Here you go!

Agreed on all accounts. But looking forward to more episodes because everything so far has me wanting to throw hands. At this point, I'm only rooting for Haishi and Zhuoying to win in life atm. Everyone else slowly getting on the five nerves I have left lol

Same I feel like he's constantly walking towards a sharp blade! The poor thing lol

Saw a preview of the ep.24-28 and shit really about to go down. The cutie from the fabric shop is back! Can they just give us more Haishi and Zhuoying scenes please and thank you!

Everyone else making me want to throw hands

And wins again at the Elle Style Awards!

Haishi getting disciplined by Shifu literally gave me childhood flashbacks lol

And also, something feels off about Ji Chang, Tilan and General Tang. It feels like they're after the throne. I wouldn't be surprised but something isn't sitting right with my spirit.
