#lord knows I'm not gonna use it to actually draw yikes

Episode 36

Li Jin looks like a man on the verge of an aneurysm.

Power move by Wanning tbh to bow so much lower than him, making him have to adjust and bow even lower.

The way papa Li's smile fades and his shoulders just sag as soon as they leave the room.

Anyone else feel like this man is a matter of hours away from becoming a victim of spousal abuse?

Oh ok, I stand corrected. It didn't even take hours. Yikes.

Ohhoho and look at Yurong. He's so fucking smug and proud of himself. He thinks he's the *best*- he escaped the traps set for him and turned it into an opportunity to entrap the princess instead. He's so smart! He's drawing spiderweb fanart to celebrate his clever clever cunningness and actually smiling at his family.

Yeeeeah that was a foregone conclusion that emperor of Zhao's condition was going to be that Xiao Heng marry Jiuyue.

Please tell me she's more sensible than that? Please tell me she would have the sense not to want to marry a man who she KNOWS doesn't like her that way, who she KNOWS loves someone else. That's never going to work out for her. She sees that, right?

Okay so she IS stupid (childish?) enough to want that. Thankfully Xiao Heng is cleverer and used her crush against her - I won't marry you so whether your brother gives me troops or not depends on if you reject the marriage or not. If he doesn't give me troops, I'll die in battle. If you won't reject the marriage, guess I'll just die. 😂

Maaaan it must suck to have been raised in a society and family where men hold all the power and get to be in charge of their wives... and then find yourself married to a woman who outranks you socially and politically and therefore actually holds all the power and you can't do shit to control her. 😁

Ahhh she was so excited to see Xiao Heng again!!And instead she got Xiao Heng's asshole grandpa. 😂

Ahahahaaaa look at his pouty little face!! "They wanted me to marry Juiyue"...

He's fishing for affection, for her to be horrified at the thought of losing him and she just sees right through his ploy and tells him to "Just go then. I'll find you a fast horse." Ahahahahaaaaaa i love them so much!! 😂😍

What was the "other method" he used to get them to agree to send troops, I wonder, once the marriage idea was off the table.

Oooh Yurong is researching into rare herbs. Does he suspect the pregnancy was fake?

Mmmm how exactly are the bad guys getting to witnesses like the armory dude and bumping them off with fake suicides before they can be arrested? Is there a leak in Su Guogong's department?

I'm not quite sure why the princess marrying Li Jin would mean her moving into his marital home? She's a princess and he's her prince consort. She holds the title and he is her consort - shouldn't he be moving into her palace?

Oh my fucking god, that look into camera as his smile falls away? Dude has gone full psycho.

Yurong is no longer holding onto any pretence of a clear conscience. He is now plotting and scheming on his own behalf without a goddamn shred of guilt. He has entirely become the thing he hated.

Uhhhh isn't this open fucking insurrection to take your imperial guard to surround the home of the investigator appointed by the emperor to look into things?!!

Okay so the emperor is a fucking idiot. Dang. Up until now I had thought he had a bit of a brain at least...

Chances that shit is gonna go down and Lord Cheng attack whilst Su Guogong is confined to his residence? Pretty darn high.
