I see some posts saying the woman that was executed at the end was the Empress Dowager but I thought that was her lady-in-waiting, not the Empress Dowager. I’m I completely wrong? That's how I understood it as well. I thought it was the Empress Dowager as the Emperor said that he had been plotting his revenge against her for ages (because she killed his mother) and now that she was dead he felt empty. Loving this show so far. |

| As expected from anime directed by Miyawaki Chizuru, it’s so poorly directed. I couldn’t fathom why Bandai Namco still hires her, even Gintama turned to worse under her. |

That's how I understood it as well. I would’ve been surprised if they killed off the empress dowager that fast. I have a feeling she’s not going to be killed so easily. We shall see. |
 |
| The beginning was quite rough... Seems like stuff is getting sorted out though. Also, he really dropped that bomb right at the end for her. |

Mcsuper said: This continues to be intriguing, with the dark backstories of Jusetsu and the Emperor as well. The emperor got his revenge of the Empress Dowager, but what did she utter? A curse perhaps? Dark parting words? It definitely worries me. I think it was a curse |
| Vide cor Meum |
| It appears that the first case has been wrapped up but if Empress Dowager did mutter a curse then this case may not be completely over. Side note, this anime feels like a shoujo and I don't think I've ever watched one but I'm liking it so far. |
| The way I screamed when he was about to fall into her-- and I slammed that rewind button lmao; did his right hand man stay outside?? Was he just watching them from a distance? (I suppose that was the norm to be fair). P.S.The pacing is still a bit strange for someone who hasn't read the novel--- it feels more like a summary rather than an adaptation, but I can definitely see the potential to read the series. |
| Wow some romance blooming already. That was kind of cute lol. |
 |
| I enjoyed the storytelling in this episode, interesting and easy to understand. I wonder how Jusetsu got to the inner palace and became the Crow Consort? Hope we can get to see that. It's really sad and traumatic to see her mother die like that. By the way before the Empress Dowager was beheaded, she mumbled something.. was it some kind of spell, or a warning...? Also ahahaha I repeated the proposal scene a few times because Jusetsu's shocked expression was really me xD We knew that the Emperor would immediately be attracted and liked her since seeing her shining white hair but I didn't expect him to propose to Jusetsu in episode 2 ahaha xD even though Xiaocui's love story with her bethroted was very tragic :( I hope Jusetsu and the Emperor's love story won't have a tragic ending too.. |

otherdummy said: i feel like an old geezer who watches soap operas all day when saying this, but i really like where this show is going. My thoughts exactly. Even though I´m not asian, where I grew up there´s always been a lot of old asian dramas/soap operas on tv so it is very common to have watched quite a few of them. This feels exactly like that, just animated. |
| this show is so beautiful !!! the story and heroine also everything !! |
| Just as great the first episode for the most part, the case got wrapped up nicely. It doesn't need romance though. |
| First it was heartbreaking, then it went for a touching romance that couldn't be and finish with blooming romance that could happen, this was a quite amazing episode for me. |
| Shouxue must've really had a tough life, being originally a silver-haired girl that was considered taboo in the old dynasty. And to be discovered by Gaojun, he decides to keep mum about her secret. But still, it's clear that the Empress Dowager wants the Raven Consort dead, and it's only by the sleight of hand that she got saved. This is also knowledge to Gaojun, who he was waiting for the right time to strike back at her. The jade earring case of "Xiaocui" Ban Yingnu continues, and surprisingly Gaojun also has one from Yingnu herself as a memory to remember. And while that got resolved, it's the inner hearings of the court ladies and eunuch that alarms Gaojun to take action and execute the Empress Dowager to close the chapter of his mother's self-suicide. While it's easy to look at a possible romance between Shouxue and Gaojun, I hope it isn't the focal point as the cases are more intriguing. |
 |
| The sadistic evil empress' final words before the beheading sounded like a curse. I thought he fell asleep at Shouxue's place because of the curse.. |
 |
| Really love the way the narrative background is being depicted here. The earring investigation helps to really deepen more on their tradition and ethics for others to uncover their trauma, sake of historical records. |
"......If I told you that I was a real witch, would you believe it?"  |
| I have to admit I thought Empress Dowager would be the main antagonist in the story, not that she can't be still as it looks like she cursed the Emperor but I did expect her to be alive And I was already kinda expecting a bit of romance, I'm just hoping it doesnt end tragically aaa- |
"𝐈'𝐦 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐞. 𝐀𝐧𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬?"  |
| I really like the story telling of this anime. Still not 100% I'm going to finish it but I'll keep going. The only real hurdle I have despite the time period is she is 16 and already pushing romance. I would want her 18 AT LEAST. Because 16 just gives me eeky creepy vibes all around. |
 |
| Guess the Q Dowager cursed the Emperor with her last breath. You'd think Shoxue would pick that up. I really like the OP. It sounds like it's from a musical. The orchestration is lovely. |

Congrats (i still hiper you're trolling though). |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Not a bad first 2 episodes |
 - May God Be With You -  |
| The ending of the story seemed to me instructive and tragic - revenge is a beast gnawing from the inside. We are all human, but why do some behave like creatures? The main heroine was really pleased this time. |
| May be some anime? |
| Just remembered that I had this in my watching list. So, I am enjoying how it's going but it's difficult for me to keep up with the names :-| I feel like it would've been better if it was Chinese dub. Was expecting them to kiss in the end but good that it didn't happen cuz it would've been too soon. The ED was beautiful. |
