Rip many silver-haired

86 reverse vibes

Ngl Lena still has no match

I remember Lena... Lena's hair was a symbol of blessing, it signifies her association in the Republic.
In Shouxue's case, it is a curse that took her freedom.

Definitely

We still don't know why they killed them

Pretty sure that it's to prevent the remnants of the previous dynasty from rebelling or something. Because the previous emperor (like most other emperors) is paranoid, he wants to ensure that the royal bloodline of the previous dynasty is completely wiped out. Because without any blood-related royals, any remnants of the previous dynasty won't have a 'just cause' for rebelling.
Ancient Chinese (even now actually) place a very big importance on the purity of bloodline.
Anyway, I'm just praying that this anime don't end up becoming a tragedy like most chinese dramas... (please god...)

"Deceiving" a child with his/her parents' severed head is just feel so wrong.

Glad that the new emperor can appreciate the silver hair.

The palace is a scary place. Everyone is trying to kill someone.

I dont know about you but for me she is already one of the prettiest waifus of the season.

Wait till Chainsaw Man starts airing lmao.

I believe what he meant was the makeup and the way she is drawn.
It is different than every other anime girls.

Chihaya from Chihayafuru also reminds me of good drawn anime girls

could have sworn that was meant to drop today

Tuesday 11th.

It's even scarier when u realize all this happened in real life back then, they have even more tricks and gruesome way to kill someone, many layers of lie to frame someone innocent, especially kind consort that is favored by the emperor. So you can say the entire imperial palace is haunted as countless of lives were lost to never ending evil scheme

Sliver hair must be preserved! 😭😭😭

Welcome to Ancient China Dynasty [I was convinced that this is based on Chinese culture and tradition] where conflict and conspiracy within palace is probably much more horrible than other place during ancient times.

uhhh Ancient Japan and Korea same thing.

He's a nice guy but I think he's a child From a maid was it or maybe I'm wrong

Every capital is like that when past rulers are cruel imbecils

Make her his slave and try to f*ck her. yeah that's really appreciating someone

He... slept next to her..? That's fricking?

Well....he slept with her XD

I think he wanted her to be his wife.

The emperor needs Maomao a poison apothecary expert as lady in waiting for the Raven Consort to protect both of them. xD

Welcome to Ancient China. The amount of BS I have seen put Romans' backstabbing nature to shame

No wonder it makes good drama

That was a touching but also heartbreaking reunion. Glad Xiaocui was finally able to move on, and that the empress dowager got exactly what she deserved. Those words she uttered before her death has me a bit concerned though. Was that supposed to be a curse?

Could be?

Dowager was utter filth. Scum.
I am curious about that as well.

That's what I believe, the Emperor didn't seem to react so she must have done it under her breath.

"D' will definitely, bring forth another storm!"

definitely a curse...in the previews they say 'emperor and raven consort' must not be together - this must be the curse

she said "My treasure? It's yours if you want it. Find it! I left all the world has there!"

That was sad.

last scene between them was sweet!! ED song is really good as well

Are you f*cked in the head That's not even close to Love clearly pressured her After giving her candy for solving all his problems and saying she's like a child wtf ppl

No one even mentioned love.....he's just asking her out with marriage in mind...You've got to keep in mind, he's an emperor, so he can't exactly ask someone to date him without marriage in mind, otherwise it'll be a waste of time for someone of his status... He can easily break this engagement if neither of them fall for the other...also, about the candy, she doesn't really go out much, so not really familiar with different kinds of food. How is giving someone candy/sweets saying she's like a child? Can adults not like candy?

I would like to see you asking out people.

Will you grovel before them? This was really a beautiful confession, and you seem to be the one fked in the head

Stop overreacting, people like you are nuisance in the community

That backstory T^T

Heartbreaking.

YessssTT^TT

The Emperor was smooth at the end, looks like this will really be a romance too, I look forward to seeing how their relationship develop.

I'm glad they found out the truth behind the incident, it's sad that they went as far as cut that former lady-in-waiting's tongue so that no-one could find out the truth but I'm glad she hid that she could write for the day she could reveal it safely. It's a good thing Yingnu can finally move on and her betrothed got to see her one last time even if it was as a ghost.

I'm concerned about what the Empress Dowager's lady-in-waiting did right before she was executed, it looked like she placed a curse on him. For a moment I thought she said something to hurt him emotionally before she died but since he had no reaction I'm going for a curse he wasn't able to hear.

I think it's the Empress Dowager herself that did the curse, not the lady in waiting

I wouldn't hold my breath for the romance...

This screams romantic tragedy

Tf is wrong with you?

i feel so bad for Xiaocui.. Im glad that she was saved.. also whenever Raven Consort is on screen i take a screenshot haha every frame of hers is wallpaper worthy shes is so pretty !!
