Ooh, that woman better pay for all she's done...

Nice to see our little empress stay strong and encourage her wife to do so in the end as well. ^_^

Did.... Did that woman really just kill a kitten by smacking it into her child's face really hard??? Jesus Christ that's over the top.

I think that, by Newton's third law, it would maim the child's face, as well, and an aspiring emperor is supposed to be physically perfect, according to Chinese tradition. My impression was that she slammed the kitten against the wall, albeit so close to the emperor's face, that its blood splashed on it.

But I agree that this is over the top, and the woman needs to pay for this act of wanton felinicide.

Oh the tags have changed I wonder wh-
Oh, welp, now the premise of the story doesn't really make sense anymore.

Though, I do wonder why the emperor isn't just left ambiguously transmasc, considering they're seemingly just fine with being a guy, and don't really seem interested in being a girl.

Ok i got it, is this story pretending to be one of thous chinese stories that has “yuri” tag but also the cross-dressing tag so we get what i feel is an STRAIGHT romance story were even in the chapter 15 we got the other supposed “lesbian/bisexual” MC having SEX with HER HUSBAND, how is this YURI?!?!?!?!

I’m sorry but i don’t see anything yuri in this story, is it gonna change? will we EVER address the idea of the EMPEROR being a women? or the idea of two women in an relationship? we will EVER see the concept that no, relationship between straight people is different from gay ones? or will the MC suddenly be OK with her supposed HUSBAND being a WIFE?!?!?!?

there was one other Chinese novel that i coudn’t finish reading were the General was hiding her gender and for some stupid reason, we don’t get the other MC to know that the General was a women while the Princes was so gay she made sure the General was USED AS A PAWN WITH NO MERCY cuz he was a MEN! (abd the general fell for the princes so she did whatever the princess ask of her) that farce of an supposed “Yuri romance” HAPPEN AT THE END! 1/5 of the story with 0 romance with only the GENERAL being in love with the princes! the ROMANCE didn’t exist at all cuz the author forgot to build ANY relationship with them because the princes didn’t found out the general was a women early.

this story will need some solid exploration of the relationship they have AFTER the MC finds the emperor true gender! but i do wander if an Chinese story can pull it off were even the Japanese mangas shy away from the concept of “Sexual Orientation”

...are you okay?

No they are definitely not lol, just check their posts.

I wouldn't be surprised if that is Tantai Lan's specific role in the court, and why she has been hanging around the palace ever since the Emperor's wedding so much. Since she is a military officer, rather than a career courtier, she is somewhat shielded from courtly intrigue, making it easier for her to act under the Dowager's nose.

That and she's wooing her future partner. Let's not forget that!

I'm not sure if she is really "shielded" from the intrigue. Apparently, there is a frontier pass somewhere waiting for her, and if anything, a punitive relocation seems to be easier than having to stage an incident to get rid of whoever else.

The Empress Dowager is in power when it comes to matter of the palace, and the Rear Palace specifically (including the actions of Yu Dingdang and Ming Wei). I don't think she has personal power over military matters, and there has been no indication that she has powerful allies in the military. If she caught wind of what Tantai Lan is doing, she might prevent her from entering the palace (which would still be a problem) but not forcibly relocate her, nor prevent her from seeing the Emperor.

And ch. 19 shows that even that power isn't as solid as it looks. If her only defense against incurring her daughter's displeasure is "what if your wife finds out", that defense is paper-thin. Although Qi Nian doesn't necessarily realize it yet.

Interesting development. The fact is, the Dowager needs the Emperor to remain in power, since it's the latter who officially sits on the throne (not to mention having the backing of at least one general), whereas the Dowager is only a successful concubine of a dead emperor. She can ride the high horse and act intimidating, but other than the flimsy gender-reveal blackmail, childhood trauma triggers, and the filial piety angle, she does not have a lot of levers over the Emperor (at least that we know of).

Yea, I seem to have mixed them up somehow. Nevertheless, I still don't think that the empress slammed a kitten into her daughter's face.

I agree with your sentiment but to be fair, for a child, those can be some major levers.

I believe the feeling comes from being so used to main couples that need 150 chapters for a first confession, that tangible progress feels rushed. Like, 50 chapters minimum? I doubt the title will remain true for much longer.

Nah. It's more like, it was progressing rather slowly up until chapter 19, and then a whole bunch of stuff happens in chapter 20. The pacing feels wrong.

Tantai Lan looks damn fine in that armor. No, scratch that: Tantai Lan looks damn fine, period.

Also, looking forward to the point where the little Empress' MAX martial ability becomes relevant to the main plot. :3

Are we sure it shouldn't be marital instead of martial? Would make more sense to me considering she learned a multitude of skills to be a good wife, not to be a great warrior xD
