@dedversus

Holy hell, my jaw just dropped. The timeline shown confused me. Does this mean he wasn't transmigrated recently like Yu Wanyin but wayyyy earlier and the tyrant (crimes he committed) was actually his own persona?

This show deserves a higher rating imo. It can be silly, but it's pretty interesting.

@shiroiyume Some might have been (he has a lot of reasons to be messed up by now), but don't forget several people are manipulating the truth around him for their own ends. And add to another layer of confusion is how much the novel's plot enforces the 2D characters reactions and understanding of events.

@dedversus Is the crown prince they showed the male lead or a different character? If so, then why was he transmigrated so early... If not, then why didn't the main duo, do anything to figure out who constructed the SOS signal...

@frostfire-san Yeah the crown prince is the male lead/current Emperor. It's not explained yet why he transmigrated so early. Iirc he was a middle schooler when he transmigrated so he's spent 15+ years waiting for another transmigrator.

@tabbycat35 Definitely. I think it is clear that he is lying about certain things though, like being the biological father of the current crown prince.

Yeah, at first I was also confused with the two children that showed up in this episode. Then re-winded and paid closer attention to the captions and eye colors. But poor Xiahou Dan, he's been through a lot. Definitely feels like they used drugs or some sort of operation to mess with his mind, but could also be due to going though all that by himself. Glad he has people by his side now.

But yeah after reading some of the youtube comments, I got confused again. I thought we only saw young Dan in this episode, not that he was the transmigrated boy struggling through the classes :') (Checked, and yeah it was Dan with his green eyes, not the brown eyed son). But is it true that he transmigrated at a young age (since some say he was in middle school), or was he just comparing to middle school, but he really is an adult who transmigrated into the child form of the character...and after circumstances...forgot who he really was in his time period...or is he really a bad actor DX? I guess we'll see.

No matter how many good and heavy episodes there have already been, this one was definitely the most important for the plot so far.
It answers a lot of questions: most importantly why is there such a dynamic in the palace between Dan, Empress Dowager and Bo
Also partially answers the headaches and why he is such a good "actor"
It also raises a lot of new questions: Firstly - Why is he lying to Yu so much?, connected to - Is he actually the bad guy then?! That would be bigger than almost any plot twist in anything. I was already hooked because of how good this is, but now I'm even much more interested in how will it unfold.
