Status Updates From The Imperial Uncle

Shoutout to Mari Chan on YT for the audio version. It's so fun hearing it in someone else's voice. https://www.youtube.com/@TheMariChan

Finished the main story. I heard it was bittersweet, but holy crap I was sad! I have only the extras to bring me comfort.

"Liu Tongyi kept looking at me. I met his gaze and smiled "Ransi, how much longer are you and I going to keep going in circles like this?"
Liu Tongyi smiled too. "I don't want to circle anymore. You're the one who keeps circling"

Haha I really so love their relationship! (⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝)

The mental gymnastics and the emotional roller coaster I have had in the last 50 pages is insane! I have been gaslighted and deceived by every character in this novel! I don't even know what is real anymore!

I wrote 5 sticky notes full of thoughts on why Yun Yu sucks and Tongyi is better for Prince Huai. Ugh! I really wanna punch Yun Yu in the throat. One of the reasons:
He's such a selfish POS and has never asked Prince Huai what he wants. He used him for his own gain and used Prince Huai's feelings against him.
Tongyi has always shown respect and never followed the trend of degrading Huai.

I fucking hate it here.

He is so lonely. :( the way he's wronged is literally depressing me, too! T^T

"This is an unpardonable offense. I can only ask Your Majesty’s forgiveness. The reason I have continued to err while knowing I did wrong is that...” I laughed bitterly. “That I wanted, just for a moment, to have someone in my bed I can talk to. I am always idle & make no contributions to the court. It always causes me shame...”

Well well well... There you go again, heart! Wtf you clenching for! (இ﹏இ`｡) this poor man...16 pages in and he's already in so much pain and wrongfully accused! Am I gonna survive this story? (ᵒ̴̶̷᷄﹏ᵒ̴̶̷᷅)

Wish I could have had more time read today, damn you adulthood!

Bring on the sadness!

I dont know how many more Ls he can take before he snaps and starts killing people with rocks

this guy being pushed into overthrowing the government when all he wants is to be genuinely loved LMAOO

NOTHING to smile about in this guys life

This book has taken such a huge turn, it’s almost like I’m not even reading the same story 😭

wait HUH?

"In reality, all I asked for was someone to truly care about who would truly care for me in turn, someone to chat with, to drink tea with, someone to talk to, day in and day out, never tiring of it - that was all."

He seems so lonely, I just want to jump into the book and give him a hug 😩

this is so sweet omg 🥹

ohhh i think im going to love this one 🥰

So is Qizhe not dead? Qitan just called Imperial Uncle back under false pretenses?

The end. I can honestly say I am completed confused. Now for the extras.

"Don't come to me again... You've scared me three times... I've had enough..."

I'm kinda starting to get pi$$ed off. Irritated. Annoyed. Exasperated!! What is all this cloak and dagger crap.

I am really sucking at reading between the lines here…. Somethings going on and I am left in the dark.

Bold move! I did not think he had it in him to basically give a big FU like that.

When I pulled Qitan onto the second-floor corridor, he looked around with glazed eyes. "What an unusual-looking latrine."
I nearly let go and allowed him to topple over the railing and into the water. "There is where Uncle lives now."

😅💦🛶

My heart is aching…. 🥺

Chapter Seven feels like a completely different novel.
