I would like to see more videos specifically focusing on the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty💓☺️ please include information on commoners, officials, and the royal family. Aswell as allied states.

15:49 seconds. The 2 girls walking away and suddenly their heads spin all the way round and they walk back, Creepy.

Normally I detest AI, however this was rather interesting. I have just discovered CDrama’s so anything in Ancient China is well worth a watch.

The harem was not a good place to be in... Ruyi's royal love in the palace shows that. Death from stress and anxiety about the other concubines scheming against you is much more likely than from other causes

This particular video would it be great if it wasn't for the very loud music in the background I could hardly hear what was being said can you please either remove or turn down the background music is very irritating got bored halfway through trying to listen and I couldn't hear a thing

I love this so much. Can you also do life as a fallen concubine? Since there is no longer expectations and they must be probably not been calculated and watched life before can it be also quite peaceful in a way? Whatif she clean the garden with her children and have fun? What will be the real living condition ? Will she rise again ? How long will she stay? Can she make their own clothes and maintain their house clean and beautiful even if modest?
