I feel like the 2nd season will focus mainly on the love story of Rui Wang (the Emperor's brother aka white hair dude). I don't think at all that he's YiYi's 2nd love interest becoz honestly throughout the story, he and YiYi never looked at each other in a romantic way. Yeah, they did think that the other was good-looking but that was in a totally objective way. They mostly had a super cute master-deciple/ sister in law- brother in law relationship which was a breath of fresh air. Honestly, I'm soooo tired of stories in which every good-looking has to look at the FL all romantically and pine after her. Even her friendship with the hot Eunuch guy was pretty refreshing. The only thing I was mildly dissatisfied with is that the Empress Dowager got off too easy. The bitch tried to plot and kill off her own son in a rebellion becoz of a fcking misunderstanding. I hate hate hate her. I don't care how nice she was in the past. The way she was treating the Eunuch guy nearing the end and taking out her anger on him boiled my blood. I swear she ruined the Emperor's childhood and all her favoritism of Rui Wang only succeeded in making him unhappier. She's the true villain in this story and deserves worse.
