Lol... me too... BUT the slight darkness in YH and BQ's scenes don't age well. That is probably also why IMHO they were much hotter.

He claims he never meant to harm FSG. I believe that. But as I posted earlier on, he chose his alias Meng Junran for a reason. It is a word play that means among other things fierce, capable leader but also a wise and benevolent one. FSG's brother would be none of the above and if someone doesn't topple him in a heartbeat, Jinxiu will conquer them.

He rebels against FSG's father's imperial privilege. Greedy is not the word I would use.

The love scenes bear an uncanny resemblance to TMOPB's most famous love scenes. With a much more PC take of course.

Tbh I had more fun with the father slapping the son.

Ancient drama booty call.🧐🫢😍

He will give it to MY.

I am beginning to feel sorry for XJS - from Prince to Matrilocal Husband to Royal Gigolo! He’s really moving up in the world.

Except FSG wants to put them on the throne ahead of himself. Maybe its a convoluted way to get revenge on XJS - as emperor his sister can order him to have sex with her... OMG 🤦🏻‍♀️!!!

FSG also lost points with me big time after recommending both his completely unsuitable siblings for the throne. I can't get over that he said that with a straight face.

Yes Li Qin and Bai Lu are easier to tell apart. That's why I said all 3 of them could be sisters, they just have a very similar though not necessarily identical look.

Well some people just look very similar - Mike Damon and Mark Wahlberg, Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes etc are also frequently mistaken for each other

The emperor is a scorched earth kind of guy. He is betting his son will prevail but in order to do so, will eliminate all his enemies for him. Am not really a fan of how this has played out. The motives of too many characters is veering off into illogical and melodramatic territory.

In a drama its easy to tell. But sometimes when I see pictures online in modern getup with the same hair, I have mistaken them for one another at first glance.

Didn't the emperor say he is only using Zhuang to hone his son to be a sharper knife. He is quite happy to see his FSG take Zhuang down and he already eliminated Zhuang's line by killing off his only son. He has no intention of ever letting his second son near the throne. And tbh, even if the 2nd son ascends, he can't hold on to the throne. I would guess Murong Yao would snatch it from him. Other than FSG, he is the only one in that generation with the brains and the ruthlessness to seize power and hold on to it.

Well the problem with the logic of that is even if FSG were to give up the throne, he and his children will always be a threat to his brother's line of descent. So the idea that he can just walk away and be safe is simplistic and may work if they were full brothers but with the Zhaungs at the helm, Zhuang would want to permanently erase him as a threat. Similarly with XJS, his (half) brother won't rest until he is dead.

Li Qin, Bai Lu and Li Yitong look like they could be sisters. Bai Lu has big teeth - that's how I tell them apart but if she's not smiling its hard.

Yes they did. I have seen them come up for auction at Christie’s. Usually made from bamboo or rattan.

I thought suggesting his father make his sister emperor was the craziest line last night so even FSG lost a bunch of brain cells if you ask me.

😅😂😂😂
