Cheng was really mad hitting Ning like that, but couldn't help but stop Zhao when he had the knife

damn that's a strange type of torture, water drops lol
yes, it's all Yin's fault... obviously :v

that last fight was a little too one sided, 7 people (and a few others that probably didn't matter) just destroying that gigantic army like it was nothing

It was itneresting how they used that torture technique of the water drop. As far as I remember, this is the first time in a while I have seen this torture method employed in a serious way, and, holy fuck, it was sure effective. I don't know if Ning is going to be mindbreak'd or if she's going to turn into ultimate Yangire. Also didn't realize before she has such nice boobs. Her future doesn't seems too bright, I fear.

Zhao is also fucked and the rebels got ridiculously OP (those armors were a bit hard to take seriously tho, it made them look like caped Power Rangers). And judging by the preview, I wonder if the Empress will went mad too.

That torture technique was really something else, I was dizzy just from watching it. Did Ning just blamed Yin for her suffering even though she was the one that went to the empire on her own accord, in fact she volunteered nobody asked her. Such hypocrisy from the girl, she deserves that torture for sure, but at the same time I felt for her since she had no hands. conflicted, conflicted!

That armory by the rebel army was really awesome, too bad Yin is not there since she is thinking about the bratty sister.

Good episode nonetheless,

Long Cheng almost going yandere mode!😍😍 Fighting over nii-sama must've been all the imouto lovers' dream come true.😋

Water drop torture truly does look horrifying. Considering how uncomfortable Ning was tied up as well as her neck being forced to bend backwards and stayed that way, ouch. Who wouldn't go crazy from all that uncomfortable situation? It was obvious she would pin all the resentment accumulated through the torture on Yin when the necklace was obviously used to condition her mind to edge towards that way. Seems more like a mindbreak mind control type judging by next episode's preview. Looks like Long Cheng has a new toy, albeit she might mean it this time unlike with Zhao.

Love how the script writers ended up going with the "captured beautiful enemy woman, fell in love(or lust after), dont report in case of having her taken away from, secretly took her in as slave to be made into a concubine." The essence of plundering the enemies' women. Gave me flashbacks of reading Romance Of The Three Kingdoms.

Well also looks like the seeds of betrayal have sprouted. Enemy mama seems to have begun making her move recruiting enemy general guy.

Wonder what Zhao will do? Will he betray the Empire to save Ning if he is to see her next episode or stay in the dark and deligently work on the zhengtian believing that by completing it he'll rise in rank and request the release of Ning? His conversation with his maid seems like he's planning something with how the tone of the scene seems to be depicted but it might just be to throw the viewers off.

Ahhh, another good episode. Fu Ning how dare they torture you. Hope you dont die in the end just for feels moments.

So, Zhao is out of the shit bin and just given a slap in the wrist by being demoted to 4 ranks, that like from being a general to a Lieutenant, oh poor Ning she give a water torture, You guys knew that they still do that thing even today, most especially in North Korea, it basically makes you loose your mind, and frankly It won't be a surprise if Ning goes psycho, oh she already is.......Damn you Zhao, you should've killed Cheng when you have the chance.

Oh god! as expected, just look at the next prev scene, Ning would turn into an enemy because of that very harsh torture punishment!
Suddenly all of the rebel leads can control the black armor!? they have a momentary upperhand, not until the zhengtian is released...
4/5.

Love interest and rival is involves so wouldn't she be a Yandere instead of a Yangire? Also, just the boobs too lol, nice and perky

Lmao are you kidding me, Ning is a huge bitch, Cheng is justified, she's just a puppet ruler with hardly any real power, and to top it off just a kid, so was she wrong to fall in love with Zhao? If only Zhao could've told her about her, like Cheng implied, she could've done something, why do you think Cheng is hurting? Bcoz even if she was just second to Yin and Ning, she still understood that Zhao cares for them hence the hesitation, unlike Ning who NTRd Yin 10x more than she did Cheng

- seeing Ning getting slapped was really satisfying
- Ning didn't cause Zhao's downfall. He did it all by himself
- He got off too easily. Fortunately, as soon as Zhengtian is completed, he becomes expendable
- Cheng didn't deceive him. He became her tool willingly

Ning became irredeemable at this point. This episode actually made me empathize with Cheng, she realized that she can never be the most important person for Zhao. Plus she didn't like it, being forced to punish Ning.

How Yin and Co. wrecked the army was cool.

This kind of water torture is used in fiction, and there is no hard evidence for its effectiveness. Despite that, I believe it is depicted with appropriate care. I'm glad that there was no waterboarding involved. It was horrifying, quite well-directed scenes.
