I’m devouring this series nonstop!
Jinshi is such an intriguing character, and I love how Maomao constantly provokes him. He’s hitting peak yearning levels, while Maomao’s dense moments make me want to bang my head against a wall, but honestly I love being in her head. Her narration is delightfully skewed and somehow makes everything fresher. That intense scene? I see it as the clash of two flawed, stressed people who care deeply for each other — both total freaks, honestly.
Plot bomb incoming, but the switched at birth reveal blew my mind (I mean it's been hinted here and there but now it's actually confirmed by Ah Duo), now we know he’s actually the Emperor’s firstborn son, not his brother like we were led to believe. Jinshi and his fifty different identities, honestly. The story keeps throwing layers at us and somehow makes the slow burn worth it.

Favorite line, because mood: “you can’t pretend you didn’t know that you were one of the candidates.” JINSHI MY MOON PRICE IMMA NEED YOU TO JUST ASK HER BCUZ THIS SLOW BUILD IS DESTROYING ME!!
