Don't worry. All this is good because Wanyin now takes away the Emperor's attention. It's good not only for Mingyu, but also for Chengxu. Now Chengxu is letting out rumors about the Emperor's behavior, about the likely crown prince etc. He's rallying his supporters and setting up his base while the Emperor is still on the cloud. Mingyu hides herself away. Both are patient and quietly waiting for the right time. So people, this is going to be good and will end good.

Seeing how Mingyu looks in the morning, she's not upset at all. So I'm pretty sure they have not slept together. The Emperor is not upset either, that means he's not been rejected by Mingyu. So my conclusion is, the Emperor is being called away and I believe it's Wanyin who has made that emergency call, knowing she's so possessive of the Emperor and would never let him touch Mingyu for fearing of Mingyu gaining status. This is really good news.

You mean the introduction of Mingyu's sister, Helan Wanyin? I have been expecting her to reappear here. For me, it's great news because she takes away the pressure by the Emperor from Mingyu (she doesn't need to serve the Emperor anymore). Also she has produced a son whom I think would be the child mentioned in the synopsis. If he's not Mingyu's son, I think Chengxu will not hesitate to kill and succeed the throne himself. Despite the harem feeling sorry (well, kind of) for Mingyu, we can see Mingyu is actually very pleased to be banished; she just wants to get away from the Emperor.

I doubt she sleeps with him because she isn't upset in the morning at all (unless it's bad acting or poor editing). Even if she has, I don't think Chengxu cares anymore because their love for each other is beyond the bodily stuff already.

For many Chinese Emperors, they did marry their sister-in-law. It's rather common. Knowing Chengxu, I don't think he cares what the officials say because he's already the Emperor - no one can touch him.

Oh wow! Feng Wu is something else.

Definitely she's a lost child of the noble. We'll see.

Yes, this is my favorite series of all currently airing dramas. It's so cute and the romance is so sweet. The misunderstanding between the couple doesn't last long. The ML is protective and persistent. The humor is just adorable. Love it.

Do you want one with a lot of eye rolls? Try Su Yu :)

They also chopped this drama up and reassembled it. No wonder it is now so disjointed like a Frankenstein. :(

Yep! If Chengxu can recapture his rightful place, then the table will turn. He and Mingyu don't need to be so vulnerable anymore, and they can be together HEA.

Yep! Playing right into Xiao Chengxu's book to overthrow the Emperor. This is good news.

- she hasn't slept with him on her birthday

I hope the story doesn't follow the Kangxi storyline as wiki is purportedly indicating. If the writers alter the ending, we may just have a very satisfying HEA.

We know that Xiao Chengxu is setting up to overthrow the Emperor. He has to succeed because he has to get his justice and he's the hero here. From the inside, Helan Mingyu's sister has a baby. Given her sister's awful personality, she's going to perish pretty soon. If Mingyu hasn't had a baby of her own, she'd take her sister's baby in when she's gone. Together with Chengxu, they can maneuver and become very powerful that no one can hurt them anymore.

Don't anyone dare to prick my dream bubble here XD XD XD

After today's episodes (23-24), my hope is raised again, as long as ....

You'll never find the meaning on google XD I'll let you hear from the horse's mouth XD XD XD

Yeah! At this point, she throws away her love for revenge, it better be super vicious and satisfying. Otherwise I'd throw rotten eggs at her.

So far, we have not seen the real Mowan yet. We don't know how she's like. Seemingly, she's an introvert, staying at home all the time. But I believe later, the story may reveal the actual Mowan (probably in flashback) how she has acquired that book-keeping documents on the Dou's. It also appears that she's brave (she barges into the palace to reveal the scheme to her sister the Empress). Then we can compare the actual Mowan with the present one possessed by Moxin.

In episode 1 during the switches of bodies, we did see something from Mowan goes into Moxin's body. I would assume that is Mowan's spirit, but her (Mowan's) memories remain (partially?) within her brain. We know Mowan loves Ye Junqing but at this point, we don't know if it's the Moxin or Mowan part that loves him (or both?) I do support your assumption that it is the Mowan part that loves Ye Junqing; Moxin seems to treat him as a platonic friend.

We have very sadistic writers here trying hard to pry out viewers' tears and heartaches. I believe their purpose (all the crying and heartache stuff) is to build up to the final catharsis. They may have overdone it :C

It is indeed very ambiguous. When Mowan finds Moxin's body, it's mentioned that Mowan now has both Moxin's and Mowan's memories. I believe the soul/spirit inside Mowan is also Moxin's because of the voodoo craft that her best friend (the foreign princess) has performed on themselves (so that they can feel each other's soul). So at this point, I believe Mowan's and Moxin's spirits have switched bodies, and Mowan is probably dead with Moxin's body even though the body is not being buried (the powerful ones like to keep dead bodies).

More cat fights. I needed to hold my breath watching these without screaming at my screen because these bitches fight over the most trivial matters, and my life would have been shortened by 20 years had I lived in those times enduring their excessive cringiness.

Did that prick sleep with her on her birthday? I'm about to smoke out the cockroaches :(
