Not gonna lie, as much as I love Cezhou with all my heart…

I’m kinda rooting for Xue Xiuzhuo. (Spoilers ahead)

The noble clans, the empress dowager and the grand secretariat being backed into a corner trying to argue that the ruler can only be a man (because one’s capacity to rule is obviously stored in the 3-pieces-service) when they only a woman as a viable option ? Gimme the popcorn

The empire is that close 🤏 to a civil war and you manage to be picky ?? Are you kidding me

Also these same men being on board with letting the empress dowager rule like before, as if she isn’t the one who partially caused the problem of "no male heir". My dudes, are you for real ??

So yeah, as much as Xue Xiuzhuo is an antagonist, I enjoy him watching him cause chaos at court !

(Also the 3 propaganda-edicts he put together for explaining where Ling Ting "comes from" ? Damn boy, they are so over the top, it’s almot hilarious the scholars fell for that !)
