Maomao talks about how she uses makeup to devalue her appearance as to not draw unwanted attention towards herself as she grew up in the pleasure district. This show is not afraid to touch on subjects that are deeply personal or taboo to many women such as assault, child loss, sex work etc and makes a welcome change in anime where many of these topics are not discussed or even joked about. Do you think the anime has handled the topics well so far?

Maomao shows an ingenuity that seems foreign to the palace. What long-term impact do you think she will leave?

What do you make of Jinshi's behavior shift towards Maomao at the end of the episode?

Maomao has become a very useful person for the palace. Even the emperor wanted her help. Do you think she’ll continue to somehow unintentionally climb higher in the palace hierarchy, like she did after saving the princess?

Maomao applies freckles, which were seen as a beauty flaw and ugly back then, as means of protection for herself. What did you think of this smart thinking and her line "cosmetics aren't always for making a face more beautiful" back in an era where they would even use poisonous items to increase their 'beauty'?

What do you think giving a man's hairpin to a lady signifys specifically?

What do you think of the reveal regarding Maomao's makeup and Jinshi's reaction to it?

Not to bash on another culture or time period, but freckles are adorable, dangit. 😤

Oh I totally agree!! I love freckles
