While I am extremely disappointed to have left the lovely ladies of the Inner Court behind, I am excited that Maomao has become a maid to Jinshi’s personal household. Because of her new position, Maomao and Jinshi now spend more time together, and his feelings for her are becoming increasingly obvious.

Gao Shun is quickly becoming my favorite character. His is so attentive and sweet, and he understands Maomao in a way that no one aside from her father does. However, Lakan is my new least favorite character. He’s slimy, disrespectful, and brash. I’m sure I’ll see more of him in the future, and I am not looking forward to it.
