SPOILER POLICY: I personally don't give a fuck or even like to give unearned credence to the concept, so since I'm writing the post, anything's fair game.
(If anyone is interested in
dankodes running further poetry content during or after NiF, please let me know what you'd be keen to discuss. I'm happy to work with you on that. I'll probably ask this again once NiF draws to a close.)

Chapter 107
Have they really never been in the same room? I supposed the drama differs in this respect, with the scavenger hunt including Prince Yu and Banruo.
Chapter 108
‘he would likely never step foot again in the capitol.’ I mean like, why though? People ride out this type of shit all the time, it seems like, and he himself never did anything objectionable.
‘own doing, and were not schemed or designed by you... You and I both understand, what caused me unmeasurable pain was the truth itself, and not the hands that uncovered it.’ See, I also pretty much think this.
I think that perhaps the drama's translator did a slightly better with Jingrui’s parting speech.
Re: Chapter 108
Chapter 109
‘It was carved with the shou for longevity’ Imagine if he just called his dad a shou-for-bottom in front of the whole court, like 'fuck this fight for the throne, I’m out'.
I mean, the Crown Prince is not even wrong about exactly why his dad sucks.
Chapter 110
Changsu: *turning up the gas light* Have you?
Chapter 111
Chapter 112
Chapter 113
I wonder what kind of thing this syrup is, if she's giving him a whole unsold cup at the day's end. To what, drink straight?
Re: Chapter 113
Chapter 114
Prince Yu: omg he advisor-cheated on me??
Banruo: The worse kind of cheating there is. (Which I am also doing myself, yeah. Idk, something about your smug face just says, 'own me'.)
