it's so dramatic i love it. been a while since i've watched a drama with such dominant colour choices hahaha

i've never watched a short drama in my life so i truly don't get what about it is making people think of short dramas < genuinely confused

oh yes xie yanfang (and xie yanlai) are technically his uncles (their half-sister was his mother)

xiao xun is xiao yu's first cousin once removed (sort of? imperial bloodlines kinda confuse me whagjw but xiao xun's dad is the previous emperor's "brother")

xie yanlai — xie yanfang = same clan, half-brothers
xiao xun — xie yanfang = competing against each other for the power of the throne (both imperial relatives)
xie yanlai — xiao xun = future husband vs ex-husband (LOL)

eng subbed bts of a zhao and a jiu's swing scene in ep 6! so cute

so good!! as a lover of the og novel i know they had to change a lot of things but it's still so fun to watch

it's been sooo fun i love all the twists and turns (i think the last time i saw your un in a comments section was the double hahaha)

possibly! in the novel she's like chu zhao's right hand man who helps keep an ear on the ground (esp in noble circles)

watching the arrow scene again like yeah who gaf about physics actually... it looks cool as hell. i'm here to watch a drama and be entertained!!!

yeah people might've missed that if they were skimming hahaha

yeah seems like it!

^^^ she basically respawned with all her hatred and resentment at its peak

funny weibo interaction between our grand princess and grand tutor (he doesn't wanna die lollll)

i haven't reached that part yet but it looks like he's supposed to represent his inner/younger self?? (in the novel there are no other kid characters aside from xiao yu and the leads' future child)

she's living and learning for real this time 🙂‍↕️
