Wait till you watch the later episodes. You'd dig your heart out, bury her alive, throw all the possible 4-letter…
I watched episode 40-48 raw. Get the gist of it. Already hating Ming Yu so much in episode 45. Not to mention her bratty son. Watching them in subs will only fanning the flame, hahaha.
I hate it when Ming Yu always make Cheng Xu stepping down but never once she "punished" her son for his wrong-doing. If she hoped by Cheng Xu stepping down her son would be a better man, she was just deluded herself
I agree with you about how MY doesn’t know what she wants in life and how she wants her man to devote everything…
I did watch episode 36-39 where all the fiasco of throne fighting took place. All I see is heartless woman. Ming Yu has this tendency to jump into conclusion and always think the worst scenario. Her son live in hiding, etc, was her words. Cheng Xu would never let that kind happen to Qi Yuan. It was really cruel of her of thinking that way of Cheng Xu. And she didn't even know why Cheng Xu was so confident. She never tried to ask him properly. She just went immediately ballistic after Cheng Xu took Qi Yuan.
And her way to force Cheng Xu was so cruel. She spewed out all those grand things. Yes, I admit what she said is great and logical. But she never tried to think from Cheng Xu point of view. She thought the reagent position was enough, what more Cheng Xu could want? So naive! Men has their own pride and ambition. But did she ever think of this regarding Cheng Xu? Never. All she did all this time only forcing Cheng Xu down and down. For the greater good, she said. For your own safety, she said. But she never compensated him by giving him something. Did she ever help Cheng Xu in his ambition of getting justice? Nope at all. Worse, she wanted to sweep everything under the rug.
Cheng Rui has destroyed Cheng Xu life. Took his throne, his mother, the woman he loves, and a peaceful house since he forced Cheng Xu to marry crazy Su Yu Ying. And Ming Yu wanted him to just let go? Without a sliver of justice?
And I disagree on Cheng Xu don't deserve to be King because he was soft-hearted. It was not soft-hearted. It was integrity. It is a virtue that can inspire loyalty. Cheng Rui could defense himself all he wanted. But the fact was, he stole the throne.
I am prepping myself for watching episode subbed episode 37+. This will be bad for my health.
You flatter me, hahahaha. Thank you for the compliment.
I am a chinese descent and I grow up with the language since both my parents are fluent in mandarin so I am very familiar with it. However, unfortunately I have never learnt the language properly. Still, I can understand 80% or more of the conversation in modern or costume drama. In palace historical, my understanding goes down to 50% or less though because of the difficult vocabulary.
Regarding the cultural, my family also more or less still uphold the chinese tradition. So perhaps I can understand more of the chinese drama nuances compared with our western friends.

This will end by episode 50. After that episode, I plan to wait until all subbed episodes comes out to binge watched them using fast forward mode. Already invested this far, need to see the ending, especially how Ming Yu suffers
After watching this far, I am of the opinion that Ming Yu actually a woman who never know what she truly want in her life. Even though she was forced into marriage she didn't want, human could always adapt and find another aspiration. All I saw, Ming Yu just went on with the flow. At first she was all about move on, started to getting all chummy with the emperor. And then Xi Qi happened. Her mouth spewed out nonsense that she was understand the King plight but her action said otherwise. She acted as woman scorned. This told us that deep within she had this desire to be smothered by men surrounding her. She wanted her man to give his entire being to her but never I saw her doing the same thing to her lover.
Then she had a son. The way she acted toward her son was as if her son gave her life a purpose. She spoiled him rotten. If she only wanted happiness for her son, then don't make him an emperor. Being an emperor is not happiness. But what did she do? Strategizing to make her son emperor.
All this time, I can never understand what she truly want. Protecting Cheng Xu, hmmm her action in the second half made it debatable. Just living peacefully, then she should drink medicine to make her sterile in the beginning. Move on from Cheng Xu, sorry all her cold action toward the emperor said otherwise. Her son to be happy, the moment she insisted on making her son emperor had taken away that happiness.
She is really a fickle woman. Acting high and mighty with her wisdom but in the end all her pain is her own undoing.
He finally free from suffering but why am so sad that he still holding that pouch.
I plan to watch until Cheng Xu death. Then wait until all episodes subbed to watch them in one swoop. Already invested this far, I need to know the ending.
He finally free from suffering but why am so sad that he still holding that pouch.
I was too emotionally spent last night after watched the raw. So I no longer had the strength to watch the newly subbed episodes. Will watch those today. But from the comment, I should resigned myself to another anger moment tonight. Will rant again here tonight .......
He finally free from suffering but why am so sad that he still holding that pouch.
In the nutshell, episode 43 - 48 is all about Cheng Xu vs Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan was his usual bratty and spoiled self who only want the authority but none of the weight of sacrifice entailed within. And Ming Yu just lost control of her son. She kept on apologizing to Cheng Xu in her son behalf and tried to pacify him. And when her son doing something that angered Cheng Xu, she strategized between his back in order to force Cheng Xu give in.
Except for episode 48, I spent my time watching in silent anger.
OMFG, I hate Mingyu. she helped kill Chengxu's brother????? the witch only had some regrets??? what happens in…
The second brother already deserved death for what he has done in the past. And more so after what he has done to Cheng Xu in the end. That particular arc made me so mad at Ming Yu
He finally free from suffering but why am so sad that he still holding that pouch.
Hahahahahaha!!! An interesting thought you have there. I just too mad at her after in a way she forced Cheng Xu to swear something using Xiao Cheng Li coercion. Episode 48 is not enough to wash my bitterness.
He finally free from suffering but why am so sad that he still holding that pouch.
Love your child also means discipline them in need in order to shape them to be a good man in the future. Well, in a way Qi Yuan just does not have what it takes to be an emperor.

She should beat some sense to her son when he was younger. What had she done all this time?? Just let her son be in his narrow minded-ness and hope he will grow up? Dream on
I hate it when Ming Yu always make Cheng Xu stepping down but never once she "punished" her son for his wrong-doing. If she hoped by Cheng Xu stepping down her son would be a better man, she was just deluded herself
