Well he definitely knows Xiao Duo's secret but I can't imagine its that easy to smuggle a fake eunuch into the palace. I assume the only reason Xiao Duo managed it is the original Xiao Duo was his brother. Plus I am hoping the maid gets smashed to pieces by a falling giant incense burner to give Yuqi/Yinlou a mega cry scene... though of course she will probably snigger most inappropriately instead. Short of that, I may be able to live with the maid ending up with a real eunuch. 😅🤣

And she is not even trying! The true villain of the story!

The pouty maid is not just annoying she is so indiscreet she is gonna get her mistress killed.

Maybe there was mayo on it???

That's why I said at least 30 but more likely mid-30s. When Langya wang died she just became Sword Deity. She was most likely in her early 20s.

No she is dubbed its in the credits.
Edit: Yuqi is dubbed by Liu Qing. All of the main characters are dubbed:

Best case she was in her late teens 12 years ago so she she is at least 30 but more likely mid-30s.

Yeah she is always the same in every role bc she is just being herself. She never really gets into character. I just finished Homesick which has phenomenal acting from the entire cast. They are all actors that are completely different in every role they are in, both young and old. That is the big difference.

Gaslighting hopefully.

Dark comedy is incredibly difficult to pull off well. Not sure this screenwriter is up to that challenge based on her past works. And this is before we even talk about the actors...

Totally agree but the people who were rating it at 8.7 are also rating it early. I just don't trust ratings unless its completely done airing.

I usually check out Douban and sometimes Bili Bili and Weibo but those comments can be very low level I don't put much stock into it. Views on it are very polarized. This article summarizes it quite well:

Yeah the premise and character design is interesting. Let's see.

It is a fair and insightful comment, please do keep it up. It is always nice to see balancing comments. I would have cut the maid scenes too. She is the worst idk why she even gets screen time. It is a race to the bottom between her and the emperor's delusional eunuch. This is a dinner drama or for me a treadmill drama. In this category, drag is good, in fact it is a requirement!!! 😂😂😂

Heheh... you should check out some of the comments on the Chinese sites....

Its audiobooks for Chinese novels. Lol - you don't need it if you don't like audiobooks.

Its gonna rain for the next three days and then its going to be sunny!!! 😂😂😂
The weather is honestly the most useful thing to know of the future.

Ah thank you for reading - I always review everything I complete. Its the holidays so I may keep watching for the lack of anything else to do...If you complete it as a book reader I hope you review it too - its always nice to get that perspective 😄

Dang! Thanks for this color. I guess I have to think about whether to continue...

Oh... so sounds like this is quite different from the book.
