Another great episode. In ancient China, kidnapped children and children of impoverished families are often sold to wealthy families as household slaves, some girls as future concubine or wife for boys or men of less impoverished families, some boys are castrated and trained as eunuchs for the royal courts. There was an incorrect translation. Sui Yuanqui has 20,000 troops, not 200,000 as translated by Netflix.

I really appreciate folks who know Mandarin to give us corrections since the mistranslations can be confusing.

These 2 Royal brothers are so pathological one's skin crawls. The relationship of Qi Min with Mrs. Yu serves as a stark contrast to our our main characters' romance. Force, coercion, cruelty and obsession are trademarks of the royal prince Qi Min. And it looks like his brother wants to follow suit with Changyu.

When you said “diddlers” it caught me off guard 🤣🤣🤣 very valid question but the choice of words was so funny

Beauty Slaughterer also sounds really weird in English, since it sounds like she slaughters pretty ladies or something. It's more like Pig-butchering Beauty though I don't think there's an equivalent in English since it's a reference to a historical woman renowned for her beauty. It's sort of like the Pig Butchering Helen of Troy or something.

I think you have missed on the first line of the letter from tutor Li, a man name been mentioned “Wei qi lin” which is the general been framed by Uncle Wei.

human trafficking is for all types of labor not just sex stuff. The sex stuff just gets the headlines in the news. Always remember if something is overly low in cost. Someone somewhere is being exploited.

Two divorce letters. Both parties have copies. She made sure to send a copy via Zhao. She has her own. The maid was beaten to death. Forced blows to the lower back destroys the kidneys. Its a common form of punishment.

In the dramas, if it is just to punish you they will show it on their bottoms or upper back with wide flat paddles. If it is to kill they hit the lower back and upper back more often the rods can vary. What is done in real life will be answered by those who know.

They both have copies of the divorce letter as if it’s a divorce certificate basically. People in ancient China would speculate and gossip a lot about these kind of things so have a physical agreement of the separation/divorce is a form of protection or insurance for yourself. Otherwise you can find yourself in finger pointing situations about infidelity or something. So she prepared two copies of the divorce letter so that Zheng is “free to remarry”, like they mention in their conversation in episode 17 by the fire. But yeah as people mentioned, I can’t believe they mistranslated the number of the Army as 20,000 to 200,000 lol that’s such a huge difference. It would cause so many misleading inferences for future storyline 😅 Also in times of war especially, human trafficking was common since headcount was rare with so many people dying in the war. Rich people would buy them as slaves or even adopt them to raise as heirs for families. Really unfortunate circumstances really. It was easy to get away with since so many people became orphans of war.

Yes I agree with you. Harsh impact by the beating in the lower back can break open a kidney from the impact and the target dies from internal bleeding. The abuse of the children by Qi Min was very hard to watch. In real life these kids would need folks specialized in treating trauma at this stage of brain deveopment.

The Baxia Mansion is a real palace nestled down in a valley between the mountains. Its a UNESCO site. Yes I would be worried about the flooding.
