The true emperor is the ML. After the FL accidentally fell into the river while she was trying to persuade the ML to attend the imperial court more often, she woke up and assumed that she was the Emperor. This is because she has been helping the ML respond to court memorials sent by the imperial advisors before her post-coma amnesia. The ML, seeing her enthusiasm in responding to the court's issues, didn't tell her the truth until her memories came back.

This is such a well-made web short! This is my third series from Director Huang Yingxiang, after Les Belles and Your Fukubukuro. I think she thrives best in showcasing visually compelling narratives under a limited budget. She's able to flex her filmmaking strengths, and you can tell she had trained for it!

May I ask if he's a free agent or has he moved to another company after leaving Huanyu?

Me too haha she caught me by surprise, I thought she wouldn't even give it a chance

Came from AvenueX's review and she's not lying: this series is an eye candy galore! Everyone's so handsome, I can just turn my brain off and enjoy the comedic madness.

I'm currently watching Story of Yanxi Palace, and I'm just in awe of Wu Jinyan! I'm glad I discovered her through The Double. Also, echoing your thoughts on LYQ: his storyline in Perfect Match took me by surprise, and I ended up watching his whole arc. And Wang Xingyue was super charismatic as Duke Su! I'm anticipating his drama with Xiang Hanzhi. 💗

You might also want to check out The Bad Kids! That's where I first saw Li Meng, and she always pulls off grey, nuanced characters so effortlessly.

May I ask what prompted them to re-edit some scenes? Was it for continuity?

Li Meng, Wu Jinyan, and Liang Yongqi are on a league of their own. Such good actors!

Got this, thanks!

May I ask what's the tone of the first few episodes? Is it mystery and drama, or is there comedy as well?

Didn't expect Wei Jiu to be such a comic relief. Imagine being so petty that an immortal master didn't take you in as her disciple because of your looks, and now it's got you vowing for revenge. I don't know, he's unintentionally funny. I'm always amused when I see him on screen.

Xiang Hanzhi's such a promising young talent. Tuning in for this!

Oh this is an interesting tidbit! Thanks for this. + love your pfp! Xiao Bai's such a cutie

Oh definitely! Haha

Got it, it's interesting to know that it's not a rule but more so can be used as a plot device. Thanks for confirming!

Very cute! I kinda miss Qingge and her antics.

That's a relief! Also glad that he's booked and busy. Thanks for the info! ❤️

I have a question: in the xianxia genre/universe, can a master and disciple fall in love? I remember reading in a web novel ages ago that falling in love with your master and vice versa is forbidden. Just wanted to confirm if that's an ironclad rule in the literary genre.

Can't get over Mu Qingge categorizing Yishui as a ferocious beast and jotting down ways to tame him, plus documenting it on her scroll of culinary recommendations 😭 Qingge's such a wine and food-loving badass

Yishui found his own therapist in Ranran 😭😭
