I didn't read the novel so no clue how "grey" or what bada*s level MRJH was. However, Cdramas don't want to risk getting in trouble with the gov't, so everything is toned done to pass censorship. Numerous completed cdramas never got to air because something went wrong with censorship/gov't. This means, can't have too much BL, sex, violence, abuse, drug, skin, revolution-idea, brainwashing, cult, toxic relationship, villain/anti-hero/grey character idolatry...you got the idea.

I was thinking the exact same thing!!! Now I know why the cast manager wanted him for this role. I didn't hate him that much at first but now I'm beginning to hate this character so much that even Baron can't save the CP.

I lost my respect for LuoMei. I was withholding my judgement, but I'm done refraining. {shaking my head}

I know. {sad face}

I skipped all previews for this drama, but your post is giving me anxiety. I know it’s going to be hell when she finds out.

EP 21, so sad for Eunuch Liu.

One of the schedule photos shows 1 ep for Sat & Sun. I haven't seen an updated schedule yet.

I'm up to ep 20, Eunuch Liu does a great job with the Emperor.

It's 20 & 21 next, and then back to 1 episode per day over the next 2 days.

Normally not until the last 6 episodes; if a package is happening at all.

Hahaha...I can't deal with long posts anymore. I automatically skip all of these. Too much for my small, exhausted brain to process these days. Kudos to the authors for their fervent energy and keeping the forum lively with content though!

I wouldn't be surprised at all.

I finished up ep 19, she hadn't official married the CP. That was the engagement event if you're watching the same part where MRJH appeared in armor and mask. There's still hope.

no cheating. maybe a sense of unintended betrayal later.

LOL....love this comment.😁

He did have 2 other younger male siblings. Remember when LuoMei said she planned to write his name down on the marriage edict, he responded that he wasn't a good match, and that there were 2 other younger brothers she could pick from. I don't remember their numbers.

I agree. That's why I feel this is his best role or most suitable for him because up until the last couple of episodes, he's been a bada*s persona.

A prince's and princess' title isn't the same as the order of their birth. For example, the title Crown Prince doesn't have to the eldest prince. Had the Emperor announced MRJH who's the third son as next in line for succession to the throne, MRJH would be addressed as The Crown Prince even though the first born son, MRXL, was still alive. Also, depending on who's doing the translation, they have liberty with the terms used, so sometimes, there's a bit of confusion going on with First Prince, First Princess... etc.

I have to laugh every time the drama mentioned FL liked to eat Dragon Meat. It's such a pun because the term Dragon Meat is synonymous to the Emperor and his children. Mei Lin's enjoyment of Dragon Meat is likened to her consuming MRJH; that they are a pair. 🤪😁

There is no mentioning of #2, so, that means #2 could be a princess or dead; someone not in the running for the throne. The Emperor's children went by the order of birth regardless of gender.
