Euphoria

its a bit more ambiguous in the novel

historical dramas like this dont make up a fake emperor. Actually its not allowed to disort history in dramas in China, so you cant create a fiction Ming ruler

Ooh ok, sigh

Well since Im a abc Idk if thats my official name anyways

Ppl did 💀💀 They would refuse to say my name correctly and always calling me uasing her name. It was rlly frustrating. It makes me feel embarassed about my Chinese. the cherry on top is the so much better name my younger sister got

I havent watched any Japanese anime now. I cant deal with the popular beta mc. I just observed them and unfortunately also observed americans associating anything Chinese with them. Cough cough Apocathy Diaries (no idea how spell that)

That said Water Margin gives me bad memories. Theres a character in there with almost the same name as me with only the suffix being different. Ppl dont stop making fun of me bc of it 🫠🫠 Hint, she gets killed by Wu Song

Its just so surreal 😂 Japanese actors doing a Chinese fiction drama set in China. This is really interesting. There must be some sort of interest in Historcal Chinese setting bc Im seeing this a lot in anime and all that Three Kingdom Jdramas

Does anyone know if this drama will show Consort/Empress Sun?

wahhh... This looks so surreal,

he went insane and half blind and half limp

yes, same person

Qi Yan is actually based off Tang WuZong; Li Yan who is completely different from Qi Yan 💀 The real Li Yan wasn't oppressed like that by Qiu ShiLiang. I wonder why the original late Tang dynasty didn't get approved 💀

I mean, the name literally means North and South Capital

Well, Zhu ZhanJi likely died of diabetes says an analysis video based on his dark skin

Worry not about Zhu Di's favorite grandson, Zhu ZhanJi is famous for being good in both martial and intellectual

Overreact what, you read history? Like what, in a required class you're forced to take?

Why are you using a largely inaccurate drama as history, as a history lover this is making me turn. This is like people using Bridgeton as history. At least YanXi was more accurate. Also a cold palace is not what fiction tells you. In reality, a cold palace is any palace that the emperor stops visiting. A drama that was made bc the creator hates consort Ling from Princess Returning Pearl and you use it as history textbook

this is why history exist ma'am. Stepempress literally cut her hair which means to curse him to death. Hair cutting in Chinese culture is the exact opposite of Japanese culture. Now the circumstances surrounding why she did it is a mystery, only QianLong's comment on the event "the empress has gone insane" and then erasing all traces of her existence from the history books and imperial paintings. She had a funeral less then a commoner and was squished into one coffin with another concubine. Don't, don't be brainwashed and think thats bc he loves her. QianLong's white moonlight is Fucha Empress and his new love is consort Ling.

Theres also a lot goes into what title he gave each consort. Step empress was consort Xian, which is very mediocre and basically telling her to be obident and not cause trouble. How could an unfavored consort be stepempress you say? How compared to what FICTION tells you, the posistion of empress in Chinese imperial politics is much more political. Its bc she is from Ulanara family which is a Eight Banner clan. At the time of the step empress, there was no other worthy candidates except for her. One is from Joseon, a foreigner would not be able to become the Empress of Qing. Another is a Han woman, the manchu government would never let that happen. That leads us to another topic. QianLong broke rules and traditions to make consort Ling empress, a Han woman. Which says a lot
