I really commend the original creator for so skillfully changing up the set up and dynamic! Moving from the inner court to the outer court brings a whole new set of characters, expectations, and mysteries. I particularly enjoyed watching Maomao piece together the secrets of the metal worker's will. On to the next one! (Even though I should probably be going to bed instead 😅)
