Schemes of a Beauty (pt 2)

Now that I am some where in the middle of the 25th episode, I can say several things.

• Gahd. Yi Fang/ Yun Xi , stop letting your aunt go. She's gonna cause even more trouble for you later. You should have let Xue Yuan kill her.
• Yi Fang, tell the emperor the truth already. He loves you too much to be overly bothered. Of course he will be hurt that you are a spy, but the truth is always better than the lie.
• Shen Er, sigh, you keep misunderstanding your sworn sister. She only means good and you keep trying to harm her. It's just that she took your good luck and gave you her bad. Just accept your fate and live a low key life. 
• Emperor Wen/ Prince of Dai, you need to look after your children better. They are your future. Yet you allow them to start fights with each other and run amok.
• Eh. Did Yang Mi, Mickey He, and Feng Shaofeng all have to be actors in this drama? I'm tired of them already. And I only watched one drama with them in it (The Place.)
• And the two kids are so outrageous in their mannerisms. It almost matter if you don't like your half brother or Zhou Yafu. You can't just do as you please because you're the eldest children of the king...
•  Empress Zhang, please, don't isolate yourself. Even if you're the mother of the puppet emperor, the grandniece of the dead evil Grand Empress Dowager, the niece of the current emperor and a bunch of other stuff, you need friends. You still have almost two decades ahead of you (according to Wikipedia, she died before she was almost 40). You can't suffer for this long. Of all the characters, you're my favorite. Everyone else just either annoys me or is irrelevant.

So, yes at this point, I'm fed up with the drama. But I will finish it.
