@heyomz i meant deliberately confuse him. the plan was to use a visual smokescreen so she and her servants could switch places, hiding her identity and moves. realizing it bothered him and disrupted his visits was just an added bonus for her: to have control over one's own body
e olha que o anime foi sutil ao deixar isso subentendido. sempre que havia uma cena do imperador a visitando, era a prova de que os dois transaram. o que explica por que ele se sentia confuso em relação a loulan, pois a cada visita, ela estava diferente de propósito
@Volfawott by "irritate him", i meant deliberately confuse him. the plan was to create a visual smokescreen so she and her servants could switch places, concealing her identity and political moves. she knew it bothered him and complicated his visits

@bakabakaizer obviously ????? my tweet isn't questioning that, just explaining how the emperor's visits to loulan worked. despite having a preferred body type, visiting her didn't please him. it was all a political obligation
@createdbym61948 in my opinion, only loulan slept with the emperor since his visits were every 10 days, while maids replaced her when she snuck out as shisui. this implies only she took abortives. plus, she wore heavy makeup and extravagant clothes to annoy him on purpose
@wheres_en4 as visitas do imperador eram programadas para cada 10 dias, então, loulan era quem estava com ele nesses momentos. fica implícito que somente ela usou os abortivos, justamente por ser a "verdadeira"
@wheres_en4 exatamente. por isso jinshi começou a decorar os mínimos detalhes sobre as damas de companhia, já que o número de funcionárias foi aumentando cada vez mais, dificultando perceber quem era quem
@XagzanOTM absolutely! natsu confirmed she never strictly planned who jinshi would meet, since that person's identity wasn't the main story's focus. however, if kurata adapted it in the manga, it's because she got permission to add it
@wheres_en4 mais ou menos. ela trocava de lugar com as damas quando queria sair pelo palácio no disfarce de shisui. mas, durante as visitas do imperador, era a própria quem o recebia. o que incomodava ele eram as roupas e maquiagens extravagantes que ela usava, já que o plano era confundir
@Ecomputeiroo não! loulan tinha damas de companhia parecidas com ela, e isso foi feito para que pudesse trocar de lugar estrategicamente e andar pelo palácio disfarçada como shisui. porém, durante as visitas do imperador, era ela quem o recebia e por isso, tomava abortivos para evitar gravidez
@blpxsworld ela entra na história ainda na 1ª temporada, logo que ah-duo é destituída da posição de consorte. mas, só passa a ter um foco maior na 2ª temporada. no início, é introduzida como shisui, e na segunda metade, começa o arco da rebelião do clã shi, que corresponde ao volume 4 da LN
@mygirldanielle compreensível. o anime manteve o mistério até os últimos episódios. a resposta só veio na cena dela consumindo physalis enquanto maomao falava que se tratava de um abortivo. ali, cai a ficha de que uma gravidez era importante para o futuro golpe de estado
@XagzanOTM even the author can't answer that lol. but when square enix & shogakukan competed for the manga's adaptation rights at the same time, instead of one losing out, both got to release their own versions in different magazines, each with a unique team and creative approach
@XagzanOTM the anime follows the LN & nekokurage’s manga, where jinshi’s contact is never explicitly revealed. in contrast, minoji kurata’s version took creative liberties to show it. ultimately, the ep focused on jinmao's 1st date while introducing lakan & fengxian's backstory
@XagzanOTM we must keep in mind that the anime is only an adaptation of the original material, so it will never adapt everything 100%. the light novel will always remain the source with the most information, aided by the two manga adaptations. reading the LN is necessary
@XagzanOTM to be fair, the anime subtly shows how close they are. in ep 11 (season 1), when ah-duo leaves, a drunk jinshi cries while hugging maomao. his raw pain revealing a much deeper bond. we also briefly see him sad and thoughtful, visiting the empty garnet pavilion after her departure
@shawarma514 well, she and jinshi are close; they often drink and talk. i think the two of them just found a great opportunity to escape the suffocating atmosphere of the imperial court for a bit
