🌸😋😂

The real Jinghe is Multiple Personality Disorder Jinghe.

Are you sure its not Desiccated Flower Soup?☠️😆

Those sad jokers went and killed everyone that deserved to live and left all the dross alive.🤦🏻‍♀️ WTF!!!

Sigh! I finally am about to start the last episode:

I honestly don't know how I am going to finish. And I only have 2 more to go.

😅😂We have all become savages!!!

I just watched her in The First Shot. That actress is a real firecracker.

I guess my bar for red flag is higher now bc so far he seems quite tame to me... I mean, for starters, he hasn't even poisoned or stabbed her yet...

That's kind of you to say - always happy to share! 😅😘

It's a pearl tax that is used to fund the emperor's coffers. It should be in exchange for a concession to harvest and trade the pearls bc since ancient China, pearls were considered treasures of the emperor. This drama is set in Tang Dynasty where Hepu was the center of the pearl trade. There is apparently quite a well known a professor of history on the production's research team.

Ep 28:

This is beyond disturbing. The dead should be left to rest in peace.

True and they are not the only young women in the cast. But from a storytelling point of view, adopting the enemies daughter and raising her as yours is a diabolical dark trope.

I am gonna guess she is really Yan Zijing’s long lost sister.

Don’t be too quick to be mad at Cui Shiju

It’s the Luoyang director. He embraces odd camera angles. I don’t love them either. But at least so far his camera is not spinning around wildly out of control.

Someone else has suggested his sister was Duanwu’s mother. I think it’s deliberately confusing at the moment so let’s wait and see.
