[heh did the book read in parts cuz I DESERVE IT after so many other books that are BEHEMOTHS that only count as one >.>]
... if I could I'd give this book 2.5 stars ... skimming my notes it was a mess - a stupid but entertaining mess ... IIRC def consent issues in that she didn't even know how or what to give consent to - it was unrealistically eyeroll.
I'm not mad I read it but would not read it again.

Oof c4 gold finger fellow eunuch being punished warning FL about her belt
C8 omg the apricot blossoms and this thick skin faced master flatterer FL 😹💯
C13 omg the giant turtle saved FL from drowning 😹😅🫠
C14 hm so it’s kinda more she has to play stupid than she is stupid
C20 omg her asking the emperor’s brother what the slang means 😱😹😅 (and the author or translator calling it jj)
C21 oh no new terrible translator 🫥
C26 lol she accidentally kissed ML serves him right for sticking his face been her & his kid
C34 wait 😱😅 did he know she was in the room while he was jacking off?! Damn this HORRENDOUS “translation”
C40 🤦🏻♀️ finally new translator but not much better “round and warped buttocks” 🫥 really. O.o somehow in a way this translation is even worse
C46.1 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ how could she fake TB what a terrible disease choice C46.2 😹☠️ when she tells the head eunuch to call for an imperial doctor seeing he’s heard everything when the emperor says it’s fine if [she] “offends” him & the eunuch responds by closing the window
C53 😶 he had her give him a hand job in the restaurant?! First time too.
C68 finally he confronts her!
Skimmed/scrolled c70, her family’s tragic death
C74.2 a rare not bad first time!
C77.2 esp the end was just unintelligible 🫥
C79.1 well JiZheng is super observant. Thought 😱 FL’s pants stain/wet spot <.< really?
C81 I really like how clear eyed FL is & how she’s definitely this is a “just for now” thing. ML … man he seems to have told her he loves her? And/but him wanting a child with her doesn’t mean that much considering his harem (which granted he’s ignored once he was attracted to her even thinking she was a eunuch) 🙄😒🔪 to the bitches and assholes scheming against FL
😹☠️☠️ c86 was missing so I read the raws via chrome and tbh it was actually better translated than what is posted ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
C88 awww our smart ML has figured it out. And 😱😅 the history with those bells
C92 omg the copper dildo and his kid interrupting them 😹☠️
C99 that was really fucking shitty what the empress dowager did & I’m mad ML feels guilty for suspecting her
Ugh skimmed 102 cuz the stupid fucking misunderstandings and shitty evil ass Ning Wang fucker
C103 ugh skimmed most of it, glad they resolved shit but ugh she breaks up with him. I ~get it but… Ugh.
C104.2 😱😹☠️ omg when the empress dowager says to FL “if you’re really going to leave you might as well first go and stab my silly son to death” 🫠 that totally redeemed her for me
C107 literally said “WHAT THE FUCK” - it’s just over? No more? She doesn’t reunite with her brother on screen?!
