eps 3-4

the opening is fun but maomao is real sexualized and dressed a lot more feminine than her typical outfit...

I also don't actually think she's autistic. she picks up pretty well on social cues and nonverbally communicates plenty. just because she loves her job and comports herself with less energy than the other ladies-in-waiting, I don't think that necessarily makes her autistic. it's a fun hc tho

oh my god even his advisor is freaked out. typical attitude to blame the woman for reacting reasonably to her boss's sexual harassment and somehow his attraction to her is HER fault 🙄

that is so fucking bleak...

also, there may not be a medical cure for sleepwalking but shouldn't a concubine have ladies in waiting? they can at the very least lock the doors after bedtime to keep fuyou safe and in her rooms

apparently cotton roses DO change color throughout the day - neat! I wasn't expecting much medically accurate info in this show, but it's fun to see where they did their research

I didn't mean like this :( she should be able to leave in the daytime

this is a wild theory but it genuinely does have enough support that I see how she came to this conclusion

aww...happy ending...with the most generic-looking man lmao

THAT'S the carriage you brought to take a courtesan from the PALACE away? my god, man. you can afford better!

actually though. this is really sweet. is this a flashback...? if it's after they marry, it would make more sense to put it after their reunion scene in the carriage. which.

🥺🥺🥺

I'm sure a lot of this is cg, but it's well-integrated enough that you don't really notice. I enjoy how smooth the animation is

her eyes are way too big honestly. they throw her face all out of proportion

strange episode. they didn't really do anything and it was a happy ending. welp, no complaints. it's nice to see a happy ending once in a while, and maomao still got to demonstrate her intuition and intelligence

maomao's green robes aren't what the other servants wear, but I don't mind that much. like wwx's black robes amongst jiang purple, they identify and distinguish our main character with aesthetic flair

wow she's really trying to make this woman shit out the poison huh

I'll say it. I like maomao a lot but the fact that almost every single other woman in this story turns to blushing, giggling putty in jinshin's hands just because he's handsome is actually pretty misogynistic writing. the fact that his looks are used a tool to keep women in line and that textually WORKS just reifies women as a group as inherently shallow and overly susceptible to forgoing judgement in favor of their own attraction, making maomao Not Like Other Girls. every woman in this court has a job, many have significant amounts of power over others, and directly some care for courtesans of the emperor himself. you HAVE to be stronger-willed than this to do that job. and not every woman has the same tastes! it's shallow, it's lazy, it's sexist writing. it's annoying

damn. maomao off the shits

AS SOON AS HE STARTS FEEDING HER. LMAO

aww...

it's been so long since I've seen an anime this obsessed with boobs lol. feels like such a high-school age thing

did she teach her about titty-fucking. scream
