Well this got dark as expected. Lot of lore for Jinshi and his family in this one. Maomao solving the case in almost record time was funny, but it let us get to learn about Anshi’s mental state and the full story with the previous emperor.
I can’t say I blame Anshi at all for hating the previous emperor. First of all, her dad sold her off as a little girl, then she has to sleep with a pedophile and bear his kid only for said pedophile to forget about her when she aged out of his tastes. She never got to have a normal life or do the things she wanted to do. I’m a bit confused on her “tormenting” the emperor tho did she end up raping him that night to pay him back for what he did to her or did she just tease him into a mind break?
After seeing the flashbacks I’m definitely convinced the previous emperor was severely autistic and liked little girls because he was mentally a child himself. Doesn’t make it right or ok, but just a psychological explanation. He never should’ve been in a leadership position from the start with his mental problems. Unfortunate situation all around.
Love the little mother-son esque bonding moment at the end. Anshi peeping that Jinshi clearly has a thing for Maomao.. maybe this’ll make him a bit more aggressive with her going forward. 😋 good on Anshi not letting the fucked up shit in her past make her give up on life. Even with all its ups and downs it’s still worth it.
Great episode, good job Maomao!
