I feel so so bad for Lishu the poor girl really is going through it all the time but I'm glad that she hopefully will get a chance to be happy soon. This volume was pretty interesting and I liked getting to see more of Lakan's family and Maomao's reactions to it all.
Maomao is that character who I have to follow all her adventures, even the mundane because she is a great character. More serious than shy, her sharp mind gets her in as much trouble as it saves for others! She has a lite-sarcasm to her wit, and is more interested in testing poisons than gossiping about hot eunuchs. Even if the hot Eunuch could bring a country to its knees with his beauty. Even if the hot Eunuch is obsessed with her and only her, gives her special hair twirls and cheek brushes, even if the hot Eunuch
3.75 LISHU GET BEHIND MY BACK 🤺🤺 this volume was so exciting and twisty, way better than the last one. probably because vol. 5 was more like a build up for this one, but the way things connected in the two volume was so fascinating. maomao is literally a female sherlock holmes in imperial china, jinshi being her watson.
another little thing....it's not enough to be obsessed with jinmao, now i have lishu and basen too in my mind!! they're so sweet and cute, i really hope we'll get to read some scenes about them.
the pacing of this volume was the slowest so far, and unfortunately i wasn’t particularly invested in the white lady subplot. however, i really felt bad for lishu. 🥲
I love a good ministry, and this author always delivers. I love her characters, the plots and their pieces are always so interesting and intricate. Moving with all the romantic foreplay… At least she’s making tiny steps forward. But if she went any faster it wouldn’t be realistic with her characters personalities and foibles. She needs to get cracking on the next one though cause I’m about to bust cause there’s not another one waiting in the wings. Can’t wait for the next one!
Lishu has been through too much! Towards the end, my heart really was in my throat. I was afraid things were really going to take a dark turn for the worst, but once again Natsu Hyuuga turned it around for me and warmed the cockles of my heart.
That snake lady is really amounting to be something very big and problematic.
I was going to take a break but I can't stop. Yes, I love the romance, but I am very concerned about the impending crisis and how Li is going to handle it. I am 100% on board the Basen train now.
finito troppo in fretta 😭 non so come potrò attendere il volume 7 con i nostri tempi biblici ma ahimè, tocca farlo.
un volume davvero dinamico, sono successe tantissime cose, tantissimi personaggi che hanno interagito con Maomao (anche se mancava terribilmente Jinshi e il suo essere mega sottone sigh)
Lishu e Basen sono due cuoricini e spero che l'Imperatore permetta loro di conoscersi meglio e fare i fidanzatini, lui troppo un tesoro che l'ha letteralmente salvata da morte certa 😭
i pochi momenti tra Jinshi e Maomao sono stati apprezzatissimi, troppo carino quando le fa il solletico 😭
ofc non vedo l'ora di scoprire di più del piano della ambasciatrice e del perché vuole entrare nell'harem.
4.5⭐️ spero esca asap il prossimo volume aaaa 😭😭

This volume started off with the funniest prologue! Jinshi and Basen provided comedy! I loved seeing Maomao carve out her life, but of course the palace shenanigans dragged her back. I loved the new characters we got to know! This big mystery was so much and at moments too much hahah Linshu stressed me out! They are letting way too much go! Shut the palace down! Still invested in this incredible world and story. Can't wait to see who Maomao humbles next 💕
100% süchtig nach dieser Serie. Liebesmäßig ein absoluter slooooowww buuuuurn dazu medizinisch krimimäßig im fiktiven kaiserlichen China aber aus japanischer Feder - I Love it.
It took an embarrassingly long time for me to read this but I got SCARED okay?! Anyway it was fantastic but the mystery was real confusing (I literally have no idea how they can condense it for a manga. There's too much detail).
Most important takeaway: I love Basen so so much.
Also, love that Hyuuga knew we would need Jinshi to go away for a minute to survive the tension but brought him back at the exact moment I was starting to say "WHERE IS HE?"
This one also isn't as funny as the others have been, but that's okay because this definitely feels like a bridge book to wrap some things up and set up the next few.
Everything Lishu related absolutely shattered my heart. I really hope Mr "I broke both my legs, ripped out my fingernails, and dislocated my shoulder to save you" will make up his mind
CLASIFICATION: 3.3 ESTRELLAS Esperando la tercera temporada del anime.
En este volumen solo nos confirman los sentimientos que tiene Basen por ese personaje y hara todo por salvarla. Son muy pocos las escenas que vemos de Jinshi Y MaoMao. En realidad senti este volumen como uno de transicion y un tris relleno para lo que probablemente viene.
SPOILERS ---- APUNTES DE COSAS QUE SUCEDEN EN ESTE VOLUMEN PARA CUANDO SALGA LA SIGUIENTE TEMPORADA Y PUEDA RECORDAR QUE SUCEDE Y SI ES FIEL A ESTO: Comienza con una situacion comprometedora entre Basen y Jinshi, y nos enteramos que Basen se enamoro a primera vista de alguien prohibido. Termina con Basen siendo el héroe de Lishu, y tb se descubre más intrigas qué dejaron en el palacio interior. Y Jinshi se entera de otra zona erogena de MaoMao.
Ps: también nos cuentan que hasta allá llegó la historia de romeo y julieta.
Jinshi and Mamao's relationship reached new levels in this volume. Although we barely get scenes with them together, it's impossible not to be captivated by their dynamic. The slowest of the slow burns.
We also get to know more about the Lan clan and how Maomao navigates this new area of her life.
The political intrigues and mystery cases never fail to entrain me, and the secondary characters are so well written — each of them have their own story that enriches the main plot, as well as their well developed personalities.
I’m so happy we get to learn more about Lishu! I do feel bad for her that her attempt at a kind act to make friends completely backfired on her. Hopefully life will be kinder to her in upcoming volumes.
“Maybe he was hoping she would come right out and say she loved him, but quite frankly, Maomao wasn’t at a point where she could bring those words to her lips.”
Jinmao’s slow-burn makes me want to bang my head against the wall. I understand why they have to be slow-burn, but that doesn’t stop me from going insane.
