Ep 49

书法绘画琴艺,都可以后天弥补
眼界和气度却要数年浸淫

天赋不高,我就勤能补拙

蕙质兰心 - Of pure heart and spirit

化干戈为玉帛

Episode 39

I was 15 minutes into episode 40 after episode 39 ended, and I had to stop because 真的看不下去。:'(
The tragic situations happened again and again to this character and unknowingly I reached there without any mental preparation. Although I have to admit the story was built up well.


During this scene, it was such a blissful moment, too blissful that I wish the drama ended right there. (OK to be honest I wish the drama ended long ago, as early as when Fucha Fuheng and Yingluo were happy together).



:'( why must the life of this character be so tragic I don't understand. It may not be real but I am aware that part of this story followed true history. I didn't dare to research whether the Empress during Qianlong's reign really had such a sad life because I didn't want to spoil myself. But... I believe that the Qianlong Emperor really did love Empress Xiaoxian... and that's beautiful.

She is one of my favourite character in this show and now that she is gone (I spoiled myself accidentally before finishing the episode)... I feel like there is no need to watch further because it is just going to fill me with further disappointments and negativity with all those cruel people. I can't imagine a reality like that.

Here's a celebration of this wonderful character and actress :')
