Steampunk ancient China??? Yes please. This is a super complex political plot, but I'm really enjoying it so far and Priest clearly put a TON of effort into this story. The scene with Chang Geng bringing his iron puppet over to Gu Yun's courtyard at the crack of dawn with a lantern and some food just so he could spend some time with his Yifu before he left for the day got me. So adorable.
