The Story of Minglan

I had a shitty week, a stressful problem that was (thankfully) successfully taken care of and a three-day headache. I have today off so I'm going to try to do some fun things and drama-watching because it will be work again tomorrow 😭

I want to finish these in-between episodes before we finally get to the Minglan and Gu Tingye relationship part and then I think I'll take a break to watch Judge Di before I continue this.

***

NOOOOO, CONSORT RONG KILLED THEM OFF-SCREEN!

But I wanted to watch them die 😢

***

Yes!! At least let me see her death!

It is so richly deserved!

***

NOOOOO, KILL HER!!

CONSORT RONG, I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU!! MUST YOU BETRAY ME SO?? 😭😭

***

Yay, for Gu Tingye!

He accidentally allied himself with the right people, lol.

***

NOOOO, DON'T KILL HER!!

She's a baby and the only one who stepped up!

***

By this point, I am actually quite bored of him conveniently showing up whenever she is in need of rescuing from pirates/bandits/usurpers etc.

This drama is really strong when it comes to family relationships and in-house scheming, but I'm just not impressed with everything else.

***

At least she realistically broke down and bawled like a baby when he rescued her.

The rest of this just obliterated my suspension of disbelief.

***

This is nice 💚

***

LMAO, he's so unhappy 🤣🤣

Poor guy just wanted to live his life out in peace, but no, the one possible Imperial heir who wanted nothing to do with this whole mess was chosen as the Crown Prince 🤣🤣

And I love how nobody else is even registering his complaints, he's the dianxia now whether he likes it or not!

***

Oh, shut up.

The most irritating aspect of this drama so far.

***

You and him are one and the same, so it's a moot question.

Also, it's about time you started getting busy with that. Please pacify the rebellion quickly and let's get things moving!

***

LMAO

I'm so glad you know! Finally! Let's do it! I'm so tired of all these losers and their opportunistic mothers and grandmothers sniffing around her.

***

LMAO, Gu Tingye has no time for his bullshit 🤣🤣

I love that he resolved this with one arrow to his chest. I'm not particularly enjoying this whole sequence and would prefer to move on to other things.

And hopefully, Gu Tingye will now also get an apology for that exam fiasco. Why, yes, as an eternal student, I'm still mad about it. If I passed my final exam with flying colours and some petty Emperor decided to bar me from getting my diploma because he was butthurt? I would assassinate him myself!

***

LOL, he never told them his real name?

***

YES, CALL HIM OUT!!

***

At least he has the self-awareness to look embarrassed, smh.

***

Oh, so it took you a whole five minutes to turn on him.

After he saved your miserable life how many times now? And practically handed you the throne! 🤬🤬

***

HE WAS TWELVE!!

AND YOU ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG EVEN IN THE CASE OF YANG WUDUAN!!

RAGE. 🤬🤬

***

OMG, the injustice of this!!

Fuck the reputation.

LET. HER. GET. CREDIT.

Also, Gu Tingye would marry her with or without a reputation.

***

Aww, so he died.

Also, what happened to Consort Rong? We never saw her die, but I imagine she must have either killed herself or been executed.

***

Oh, so he was an actual historical figure?

I thought all of these characters were fictional. Interesting.

***

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT!

GU TINGYE IS A MINISTER, AFTER ALL!
