Reading this at 12:30 was a great idea (at 1234😼)

“She said something horrifying! Why isn’t she being punished!” Because she’s the princess’ wife, catch on, Yuzhu

I refuse to believe Yan Chi wouldn’t be able to see the shift in the atmosphere 💀 isn’t she smart oh my god i got Yan Chi and Helan Qing confused this is why you don’t read novels at midnight

“Yan Chi, how many people have you killed ☺️?”

Forget the lesbians, I’m learning fascinating things about numeric systems here

Yep… knew this was coming Yan Chi’s becoming the princess’ loyal hitwoman

In a single paragraph the word “carriage” was used five times

Wei Wei is… some new guy I don’t know I wanna sleep

Wei Wei is her uncle… mkay… i mean Helan Qing… unless Yan Chi has royal blood? I don’t think pdl is going to pull a jin gaungyao, though…

Wow Helan Qing has to greet so many people… hopefully all in OTHER chapters 🥹 I’m so tired

Did Yan Chi turn formal all of a sudden… “alright” like. That’s a formal word for her

“The palace was out of the question” wait till you find out Yan Chi becomes a eunuch

OH MY GOD pdl keeps mentioning the fact that Helan Qing did something like in the earlier chapters it was mentioned all her servants were executed and replaced now she mentioned Helan Qing has to reflect on her sins what the fuck is going on what happened in her past

Wow this shitty emperor let Helan Qing go into the palace with a carriage that’s the single non shitty thing he has EVER done EVER. He should still die, though, for killing his people and letting them die

This is a peak into your wife’s future career, Helan Qing (she’s meeting with a eunuch)

THANK GOD HELAN QING DOESN’T MEET THE EMPEROR IN THIS CHAPTER YES I CAN SLEEP

Maybe Fuling and Eunuch He are the ones with a secret relationship side story…

Wei Qing gets a whole fucking anime intro lmao

I hope Yan Chi got a ridiculous elaborate hairstyle…

The description of this chapter… is Yan Chi gonna act pitiful lmao

Omg new location unlocked yaaay the plot is finally moving along we’re getting out of the monastery tonight 🔥🔥🔥

Reading this after a book that only rhymes is so wild i keep expecting this book to rhyme 😭 anyway the pheasants are back woo

AWWW YAN CHI WEARING DOUBLE BUNS

I checked the page count this chapter is so long wtf 😭

As long as it was Helan Qing instructing her, Yan Chi wouldn’t hesitate to obey 🩷

I feel like I’m going insane i keep seeing rhymes 😞 cmon… worked and ink rhyme pretty well…

hlq is a good teacher… maybe she’ll be able to teach yc many other things in the future iykwim

Haha food is the way to a girl’s heart oh god here we are at the capital ahh I’m scared

Oop. Someone’s here to cause trouble. Helan Qing’s brother maybe.?

Omg an assassination attempt time to take a page out of Li Xian’s rulebook

Yan Chi’s usual clear seas eyes… reading this chapter when I’m so tired was a fucking mistake

I heard that there’s a Chinese phrase like… not even water could pass through but “not even an assassin’s sweat could penetrate” is a new one for me 😭

Ooo this guy has golden hair… maybe he’s a foreigner. I just hope this book won’t have any racism/xenophobia

This guy has red eyes? That’s so fire ngl

THIS GUY SOUNDS SO COOL WHAT THE FUCK CAN I BE HIS FRIEND (i regret this later)

Oh shit he has beef with Helan Qing…

I FUCKING KNEW IT WAS HELAN YU HAHAHA nice to meet you

THESE SIBLINGS FUCKING HATE EACH OTHER 😭😭😭 LMAO Helan Qing is like sighs i have to deal with this asshole now

“I will not protect you” or “I can’t protect you?”

Never mind, this is another brother Helan Sheng… not Helan Yu who was mentioned in a previous chapter

HELAN SHENG IS SO FAR UP HIS OWN ASS 😭

Get a load of this guy 😭

Fixed$

Wait wait wait what do you mean you want to deal with Helan Qing’s people… Helan Sheng we can talk this out buddy we’re all friends here, right?

Helan Sheng isn’t sick his problem is he has a stick up his ass

They don’t know what to do with Yan Chi… eunuch time

Helan Sheng’s mother comes from the prime minister’s family and is the principal wife as well as the current empress… alright

Damn 13 siblings…

Yeah no I don’t like this Helan Sheng guy… guy’s a fucking asshole 😭

First time Yan Chi says Helan Qing’s name and it’s a declaration to kill her brother LMAO

#notpayingattentiontothislore

Maybe I actually should pay a LITTLE attention: so Helan Qing has a brother named Helan Yu, their mother is dead. Grand Commandant Wei loves his grandkids

Okay, shit, grandpa Wei we won’t mess with you

Yan Chi is me fr i do not understand political intrigue 😭

Not her comparing Yan Chi to a donkey… Yan Chi is mad dog…

OKAY BACK TO THE LETTER what does it say 😈

Okay i stressed for nothing the first letter was a nothingburger

A second one?

Okay cool HLQ’s helping out a place called Qingzhou

FUCK IT’S AN OMINOUS LETTER SEE? MY INSTINCTS ARE NEVER WRONG

Okay more lore… we got the Yan Kingdom and the Chen Kingdom…

Look at the emperor the Yan Kingdom is so fucked 😹😹

Yan Chi getting used to sneaking into HLQ’s room through the window..?

The mental picture of Yan Chi squatting looking up is so cute

GIVE. YAN. CHI. A. HAIR. BOW.

Hairstuffs is such a funny word 😭

I didn’t mention it in my chapter 6 post but i like how pdl wrote yinyin talking about helan qing’s emotions. She feels content when being around people like yan chi and she brings up how having a content heart is really important. Cool stuff.

Yan Chi stood before… Yan Chi?

LMAO “a brief nap helps with digesting a meal” right after i ate dinner

YINYIN YAN CHI FOUND FAMILY IS STARTING HELL YEAH don’t bully yan chi, doctor hou 😭

Waaait what do you mean someone who follows her majesty’s orders without proper training. I’m scared are you gonna make Yan Chi into like an assassin or 😭

AWWW THEY’RE SO CUTE

Awww Yan Chi is so trusting of Helan Qing don’t think i forgot what yinyin said

This is giving me fgep flashbacks of when Lin Wanyue was so “naive” and trusting of Li Xian and Li Xian did… all of that LMAO (although Helan Qing seems to have more of a moral compass than Li Xian 💀)

Don’t worry maids… Lord Mad Dog Yan Chi is scarier than any assassin she literally cut some guy’s ear off in chapter 1… she’ll be able to protect her wifey

Huh. I guess Yan Chi understands the concept of loyalty that Helan Qing’s maids have… I actually don’t understand this paragraph though 💀 isn’t Yan Chi supposed to be unaware of social norms whatever I’m nit picking

Sorry fuling… i have a feeling yan chi and helan qing will continue to violate the rules of propriety many times in the future too if you pick up what I’m putting down (this is literally the alternate title of the book LMAO)

Ooo does mad dog get a name in this one

Aww this scene is cute HELP NOT MAD DOG BEING COMPARED TO L FROM DEATH NOTE (from how she’s sitting)

Mad dog drooling 😭

The main couple is so cute so far ☺️ when does the angst start

This emperor is just bad news oh my god did he learn how to be an emperor from nangong rang 💀

AWWW HELAN QING i love her she is a cutie patootie

Yaaay Yan Chi got a name

Baby girl, you taught the mad dog medicine 🩷

Before hou yin became an imperial physician… she wasn’t an imperial physician 😭?

PDL KEEPS BRINGING UP THE FACT THAT ALL OF HELAN QING’S MAIDS GOT EXECUTED WTF IS UP WITH THAT WHAT HAPPENED

also curious if helan qing was disabled from birth or through other ways (like if someone poisoned her mom)

NO MAD DOG DON’T ATTACK YOUR WIFE

RIP mad dog what a short story from pdl the fl got shot by an arrow and fucking died in chapter 4

Remember when mad dog ripped off someone’s ear that was very glossed over 😭

AWWWW this is so cute

I hate this fucking emperor oh my god he is pissing me off.

Helan Qing doesn’t know what to do with mad dog but doesn’t she become an eunuch or something i think i read that in the description

Found family with yinyin and mad dog?
