...she put forth her arts of enchantment, and caused her hair to grow to great length, and of it she wove a dark robe that wrapped her beauty like a shadow, and it was laden with a spell of sleep

I think one of my favourite things abt Red Shoes is how it would have been so easy for Merlin's lesson to be that he needs to value other people for more than their looks. Yeah that is a big part of it, but really it's abt him realising that he has value beyond his looks/fame.
It rlly sticks out to me when the rest of the F7 are trying to woo Red Shoes and each are using their personalities to try and win her over (Hans bakes, Jack gives her presents, Arthur shows off his strength, the triplets make inventions to help her); but Merlin? Love spell, straight away.
The others all figure that if she's not going to like them for their looks, then there are other things abt them that she'll fall for, but Merlin doesn't see himself as having anything to offer anymore- beyond magic (and even then, he plans to use it on her, not for her).
So when she does start liking him for who he is, he literally doesn't understand it- I think- until two moments:
First, when he has the whole conversation with himself (oh sweet boy u have the emotional intelligence of an egg)
Then when Magichard (hehe) straight up asks if he put her under a spell.
This line also always gets me cos THAT WAS HIS PLAN!! He was going to cast a spell, but in the end he didn't have to, because she ended up liking him for him!!
It could have just been 'a handsome Prince-wizard learns that real beauty is on the inside when the beautiful woman turns out to look different to how she appeared' but no!
So at the end, when Snow says she liked 'short, green Merlin', he is able to reassure her by saying that that's who he still is on the inside! He finally gets it!! Snow doesn't have to spell it out for him, he gets it!!!

No wonder the King likes you so much. When I see you I can't help being moved. I didn't expect a bitter cold place like Jizhou to be able to give birth to a beauty like you. If I were a King I would also be fascinated by you.
Pretty promo pictures for Road to empress~
(Li Tai's my man but Li Zhi's text is fun)
Also, I like both brothers are smart schemers, just in different ways :D
tonight i started playing Road To Empress. im having a blast but these little guys from the characters screen are definitely a highlight
IF HE HAS HAD HIS HISTORICAL LOVER IN THE BACKGROUND HIDING I WILL SCREAM.

Road to Empress I Bonus Scene.
It kind of irks me when people talk about Li Zhi like he's such a sweet and meek person and that's it. Like, no, that's a master manipulator and actor and he got you too.
Li Zhi was literally the one who orchestrated Li Tai's plan to depose the Crown Prince. (Li Zhi's bodyguard asked if they should dispose Chen Xin, which means that Chen Zin knows Li Zhi's hand in all this. Further, Chen Xin going back to the Crown Prince to tell him of Li Tai's role literally doesn't make sense unless Chen Xin had a powerful backer that could sneak him in + could benefit from the Crown Prince wanting revenge on Li Tai.) Li Zhi did this without Li Tai even realizing it.
Li Zhi is constantly calculating and thinking about how to use people. When he learnt that Gaoyang and Yuanzhao were going to the burning temple to save Bianji, he still had the presence of mind to order that this info be leaked to Li Tai, because he knew Li Tai would definitely come to save Yuanzhao too. This is someone who's used to thinking about all sorts of possibilities at all sorts of times. He's an instinctual schemer.
Quite frankly, the reason why Li Zhi doesn't have as many dramatic scenes with Yuanzhao as compared to Li Tai is because:
Li Zhi simply would never get caught in a dramatic situation where he would kill a general in front of witnesses to save Yuanzhao. His style is to do things from the background, via indirect methods. The most Li Zhi has put himself on the line for Yuanzhao was to use his own marriage as a bargaining chip. (Which, don't get me wrong, is still a pretty big deal, but it doesn't run the risk of being stripped of your role. And still benefits Li Zhi politically.)
Li Zhi has way too much control over his composure to do the thing Li Tai does where he obviously smiles and loses his cool and then tries to shut that down and act cool. And also Li Zhi whole persona doesn't involve acting cool and impervious in the first place -- it's quite the opposite really. (He clearly acts dumb and guileless in front of everyone who isn't his bodyguard.) So when Li Zhi does get flustered by Yuanzhao, the contrast with his usual self is not as glaring and dramatic.
This thing? This shit is SO GOOD! Wow! It's been so long since I've been invested in a game plot this much. And the production value? Amazing.
