augh i rlly liked the empress as a character. basically being sold into the imperial palace, not having any real political power, not receiving much help from her family despite trying to protect her house by any means necessary... yet still ending up as her own undoing. truly a great "rise" (to empress) and inevitable "fall" (as a villain) narrative
I feel bad about the guy though. He doesn’t deserve to have his tongue cut out and that’s pretty extreme. That’s her brother. That’s really messed up. Like was he like such a bad guy?
