A little thread about the characters and ships I'm currently invested in. There are a lot of them bc I somehow end up having a bias in nearly every series I read.
Consider this a collection of the ones I love more than the rest. If a tweet disappears one day, yk 🤷🏻♀️
Honestly, it's heartbreaking but also realistic. If members of a human-trafficking family actually valued their slaves' lives, they wouldn't be trafficking people in the first place lol. Doesn't matter which side of the family they're on, "good" or bad.
I still remember how so many ppl criticized Jinshi for getting angry at those little maids when this scene aired. Should we tell them that the worst is yet to come? Ofc as viewers with hindsight, I can't help feeling sorry for them. They're just poor girls bought and handpicked
But from Jinshi's POV, they're key players in a much bigger plot that has tried to assassinate him multiple times, killed people and children, and kidnapped his subordinate. And he's interrogating them, btw. Who expects him to be gentle about it?
@meiamoun Those maids were trained and handpicked from childhood, and utterly loyal to their master, weren't they?why they'd stay loyal to a plan that would get them killed, well, you privileged, educated ppl clearly can't understand the mindset of women who brainwashed their whole lives.
Some people really think Loulan wouldn't force her maids to sleep with the emperor, as if that's the worst she could do. She literally abandoned ALL her maids in the inner palace. She's still alive, and guess who wasn't as lucky? Her maids.
Don't misunderstood. Idc Loulan or her maids slept with the emperor (or both, maybe). What I'm talking about is how people object to the idea because it's "too cruel for Loulan's character" or sth. She's done plenty of things that were way more cruel than that?

Oh, sb misunderstood me, so let me clarify. I don't care whether Loulan or her maids slept with the emperor (or both, maybe). My point is people calling it "too cruel for Loulan's character" or sth when she's done WAY worse things than that?
I still remember how, at the end of LN8, Jinshi very clearly hinted TWICE at the Gyoku-en faction's assassination attempts against him, and all the emperor could take away from it was that Jinshi was being defiant, so he proceeded to beat him.
The irony of people saying the emperor ONLY cares about Jinshi out of all his children, as if Jinshi hasn't been targeted for assassination by his concubine' families SO many times and the emperor has done absolutely nothing to protect him.
