The audacity, stubbornness, and stupidity of Mingyue are shocking but expected, everything at the same time. Hopefully, she'll be killed at some point, I'm a bit tired of her, and the sooner, the better, lol.
Proud of the lil boy for recognizing the true identity of that snake, but yeah, I understand the conflict. But lowkey even if Luxia was his mom, I feel like I don't dislike this couple? Like, she simply adopted him, there was no blood connection, she never treated him like 'her child' but her equal, she at most was like his mentor and I think that's why he was so loyal to her. I also think that he lowkey already liked her in that way, his admiration for her was huge and now that he's having a new chance, I feel fine with him taking it.
Also, let's admit that he said all the right things, I've never been a single Chinese Emperor willing to do what he did (even in the dumbest fictional stories) or say as much as he did from the very first moment, he's so crystal clear and I love it! I get that it's a bit weird, but I feel like shipping them and they have my blessing already, I especially don't want her sister to become Empress (well, it's not like she has the slightest chance, lmao).
Oh, and yeah, this is my own intent of brainwashing myself and yeah, he has mommy issues but for some reason in many Chinese stories, I see this as something accepted and normal? And yeah, Luxia is so shameless but that's one of the things we love of her, right? Right? Haha, idk my dudes, I have no words. xD
