like how many were killed alone in that scene *Feng Yuan of Han Dynasty had more balls facing off that bear* than both Emperor Xiaoyuan/Yuan Emperor & Xuan'ling combined

[@lilmuffin9253]

@@user-ix1rp9ff3p I feel like you might know about it, do you have recommendations for similar books like this one? I'm pretty sure I've watched all the main harem dramas so I wanna move on to webnovels 😭💀

Not the emperor also seeing Chunyuan in ZH's MOTHER 😭😭 i almost expected him to try to marry her too. I can't believe he actually believed Hu's story- HOW was this man in charge of a whole country? WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT LEOPARD SCENE- God this video made my day, I love this channel.

[@Stinoco]

I just love that ZH's sister and MoGo are happy! And it was nice to notice that LanYi's final words to the Emperor were used in the drama as ZhenHuan's final words to him before he died. Thank you so much for these recaps! 😄😄

[@its99pm]

the show: Ye LanYi quietly swaps out the Emperor's pills to slowly poison him to death, while smiling sweetly and acting all docile like a proper little lady. me: hee, she got you good 🍿😁 the book: Ye LanYi charges the Emperor while riding on *a mfing leopard,* tears one concubine in half and maims another, but ultimately fails to kill him and gets turned into a pincushion by the guard's arrows, and then her corpse is buried for a couple of weeks, dug up again, and cut into a thousand stinking, rotting pieces. me: 👁👄👁 wtaf is happening 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

1. ksks good thing I wasn't the only one laughing at the tiger scene with the Emperor using the concubines as human shiels wtf 2. Zhen huan had like 4 men go gaga over her, so she defo deserves the yaoji title, we stan 3. I LOVED how much effort you put into everything, especially when narrating the tiger and bear scene, such a good storyteller 4. Why do I imagine MOGE as a hottie in the books?? 5. The family line ending was such a slay move by zhen huan, wayy more hard hitting than the drama one 6. I was half expecting the Emperor to also recruit zhen huan's mother into the harem, would'nt even be surprised 7. I can't decide which series i loved more, zhen huan or ruyi. IG zhen huan more cuz comparitively better ending 8. The sismance will always shine through, ruyi and hailan or zhen huan and meizhuang 9. My modern mind legit shuts off when indulging in ancient chinese stuff so much so that im happy for the 16 yo girl when she gets married to a man twice her age??? zhen heng needs some love fr

[@yourbootyholeisyourbeautyhole]

[@bassantisamess4279]

24:50 this edit is gold😭😭😭 Bro LanYi was done dirty with the leopard scene I wish they had the poisoned pill scene in the novel too. The Empress too I'm not content with her just getting grounded and dying at the end I was hoping for a final showdown like poisoning Hu for being rude or something 😭 Moge was actually not that bad in the novel lol glad YuYao had a good ending and wow poor Tian pin she was a bit annoying yes but getting ripped in half is crazy😭😭 I'm surprised I like the series more than the novel thank you so much for the recap it was so much fun plus the little edits you added are just chef's kiss*😭❤️❤️❤️

Dude honestly I should have but I just got tired lol, this has taken so much longer than I expected it to 😭 But overall, yeah I liked seeing all of the things that were omitted from the drama, but then I felt like the drama was right to leave those things out if that make sense? Like I just think it was a perfect adaptation and I wish I could have watched a series like this one outlining the books, rather than actually have to read all of the novels lol I really liked Zhenhuan’s brother and the way his story intersected with LingRong’s.

Isn't the mother of the emperor from Ruyi was a lady servant? And then he was adopted by zhen huan

[@lilmuffin9253]

Nooooo that was just the drama version, in the books this was a completely fictitious dynasty and characters. There's no sequel to the books. when adapting to drama they tried and placed it in a real dynasty setting and in the drama the new emperor is some random concubine's son, not doctor wen's so that's his real father only. The book zhen huan has nothing to do with ruyi and it's characters which are based on real people

[@user-ix1rp9ff3p]

1. lol at your RL work experience 2. got confused with your children recap when clearly I commented all of the imperial children in part 2 or 3 I think... 3.1. Senior Princess Zhenning is *Xuan'ling's only blood sibling* (apparently in this fictional universe princesses are titled 帝姬 and once the imperial succession passes are titled 長公主, the latter title similar to Imperial China) 3.2. Senior Princess Zhenning's daughter's full name is *Chen Huisheng (陳慧生)* & her formal title is *Princess Cheng'yi (承懿翁主)* (during Imperial China "翁主" ( _wengzhu_ ) is a title given to princess's daughters...during Joseon Dynasty & the Korean Empire "翁主 (옹주 _ongju_ )" was the title given to the reigning monarch's daughters borne by concubines, the most famous being King Gojong/Gwangmu Emperor's daughter Princess Deokhye) 3.3. _yaoji_ can basically be simply translated as *"wily fox"* 3.4. Huisheng later gives birth to a *daughter named Zhen Wenjun (甄文珺)* , inadvertently *killing off the Zhen family lineage (at this point)* 4.1. laughing at Zhu Chengbi's "breakdown" with the "Psycho" OST (the shower scene) can't stop replaying 4.2. Zhu Chengbi's full posthumous title is *Dowager Empress Zhaocheng Kang'yi Minjing Renzhe (昭成康頤閔敬仁哲太后)* 5.1. like everyone else your bear animation explanation was downright hilarious 5.2. not you using LoZ Master Sword as the "moonlight" sword 5.3. you mistranslated "可汙": though in Mongolian it's transliterated as _khagan_ & in Mandarin it is _kehan_ , you can use *"Great Khan"* ("The Secret History of the Mongols" clearly only specified Genghis Khan & his ruling descendants with the right to be addressed as _khagan_ , with the rest of the Mongolic rulers simply labelled as _khan_ ) 6. Xuan'ling actually *asks a hug from Zhen Huan's mother Yun Xin'luo (雲辛蘿)* 7.1. unlike in the Qing Dynasty, Zhen Huan's title of "Imperial Noble Consort" effectively made her the *Vice Empress/Assistant Empress (副后)* , obviously making her the winner over Hu Yun'rong 7.2. Zhou Xuanqing's posthumous title is *Prince Qinghe (清河王)* , further emphasizing the *azure (blue-green) as the personal color* 8.1. *Feng Yuan of Han Dynasty had more balls facing off that bear* than either her imperial paramour Emperor Xiaoyuan/Yuan Emperor or even the fictional Xuan'ling 8.2. *Zhen Huan was also hurt* in the leopard chaos 8.3. also me recently learning that Reyizha Alimjan (drama!Ye Lan'yi) was in "The Fearless" as main character lawyer Luo Ying'zi; I was watching random Chinese drama clips with clickbait titles and kept thinking why is this face so familiar and when I initially Google'd the drama the actress's unique name seemed familiar, only later finding out Luo Ying'zi & drama!Ye Lan'yi was plaued by the same person 9. wait the *willow catkins was a prelude to Hailan and the reed flowers in "Legend of Ruyi"* ??? damn, and I thought drama!Lady Guwalgiya's musk necklace, and Ruyi & Gao Xiyue's Vietnamese lotus flower gold bracelets with the "basil seeds" was the only reference... 10.1. 4th prince Yurun was already enfeoffed as *Prince Chu (楚王)* prior to being bestowed the Crown Prince 10.2. *the get-well-quick elixirs were also Zhen Huan's plan* , including drama!Ye Lan'yi's cinnabar procurement activities 11.1 the Noble Lady getting pregnant was *actually referenced in the drama by the Imperial Noble Consort (Duan) catching a low-ranking concubine & an imperial guard in the act* , and the scene with him fainting & drooling blood was because drama!Zhen Huan told Yongzheng ("They can't even wait for me to die!" + making allusions to Zhen Huan's infidelity) and was awaiting orders 11.2. novel!She Lan'yi's final words were *made drama!Zhen Huan's words to Yongzheng* , and novel!Yurun's parentage over drama!Jinghe's makes Yongzheng's rage more sense 11.3. Xuan'ling is later buried at *Qian'ling Imperial Mausoleum (乾陵)* 12.1. Crown Prince Yurun becomes *Zhengzhang Emperor (正章帝)* and changes his name to *"Shurun" (紓潤) as his taboo name* (since the generation name character 予 is a bit common) 12.2. the novel's younger generation's parentage actually matched well with the drama version set in Qing Dynasty actually, especially with *6th prince Hong'yao adopted under Yun'li's line as he had no surviving adult sons to succeed the title of Prince Guo* 12.3. title upgrades: 12.3.2. Xuan'ling's full posthumous title is *the Xiao Emperor Shengshen Zhang'wu (聖神章武孝皇帝)* & his temple name is *Xuanzong (憲宗)* ; his abbreviated title is *Xiao Emperor Xianzong of Great Zhou (大周 憲宗孝皇帝)* 12.3.1. Zhen Huan becomes *Dowager Empress Ming'yi (明懿皇太后)* 12.3.2. Zhu Yixiu's full posthumous title is *Empress Wen'yu (温裕皇后)* (so I guess in this fictional universe, similar to some dynasties the Empresses Consort do not inherit their imperial husband's posthumous title, i.e. in this case both Zhu sisters would've normally been "Xiao Empress" (純元孝皇后 & 温裕孝皇后)) 12.3.3. Shen Meizhuang's full posthumous title is *Dowager Empress Zhaohui Yi'an (昭惠懿安太后)* as the biological mother of the new Emperor 13. Zhu Yixiu's niece Xiwei (drama!Qing'ying/Ruyi)'s *fate is left unknown* 14. you're not going to cover the *supplemental epilogue that is full of retcon-ish plotlines* ??

This summary series was really well done - thank you so much! Now that it’s over, I’m curious as to what you thought of Zhenhuan in the novel versus the drama? Prior I’ve often heard that Zhenhuan in the novel is more selfish, ruthless and unlikable; similarly to how Ruyi’s drama adaptation portrayed her as such a principled, moral person but in the novel she wasn’t far off from Yanwan. Would you say the characterisation difference is as dramatic here?

[@atgay2640]

Ruyi in the novels was the true culprit behind Hailan’s scheming to kill the Empress Langhua’s only son. She was willing to kill Yanwan when she’ prove herself to be a threat to Ruyi, asking Hailan to do the dirty deeds for her.

according to the retcon-ish supplemental epilogue Princess Long'yue married one of Moge's older sons, making the aunt-niece relationship into stepmother-in-law-daughter-in-law

@@user-ix1rp9ff3p Oh, that's a fun detail! Thanks for sharing!

[@user-ix1rp9ff3p]

@@alison4398 it's a bit inconsistent because in the original novel Princess Long'yue's prince consort was someone high up in Moge's khanate Princess Long'yue's foreign marriage was the backdrop of "Ruyi"'s Hengchuo being a Khorchin Borjigin daughter-in-law

Thanks to have finished the novel ! You did again a great job ! I am really impatient for the next !! Do you think if the drama had adapted the animals attacks the Emperor would have reacted the same ? Huanbi finally really did not care about the child after all she ended her own life ! In ruyi royal love in the palace , I thought that the cheating accusations were ridiculous because they were in a harem ; but in this novel everyone seems to cheat and get away with it.

[@user-ix1rp9ff3p]

the infidelity accusations between Ruyi, the Grand Monk, & Ling Yunche were actually similar to the Korean accounts of Step Empress's fall from grace basically there were two third-hand accounts from Joseon ambassadors to Qing Dynasty during the reign of Kings Yeongjo & Jeongjo (when I say third-hand accounts it's because the ambassadors had a hard time getting anything from their Qing equivalents, as Step Empress post-Southern Tour was treated as taboo) TL;DR -Qianlong Emperor and the imperial party were at the annual Mulan Hunting Ground (the location was only described as "Guandong (關東)", the historical toponym for Manchuria...ergo where else would a hunting party at the Manchurian heartland be located if not at Mulan) -Step Empress lost a valuable jewel (described as "Korean pearl (高麗珠)") -Qianlong ordered a search (as per usual) and eventually the lot fell onto one of Step Empress's imperial guards -after Qianlong began to personally oversee the investigation, a further search was announced wherein the jewel and/or money from the pawning of the jewel was found on the imperial guard's house -Qianlong then ordered a full body search, and a note was found on his person in Step Empress's calligraphy -in a rage Qianlong cut down the imperial guard with a sword, and had Step Empress confined to house arrest and withheld food -Step Empress then flew into a rage and The Haircut™ happened -the ambassadors' accounts concluded the entire incident was a plot concocted by the current It Girl, then-Imperial Concubine Rong (described as "the Hui (i.e. Muslim) concubine (回后)")

Hi! First of all, I want to thank the uploader for all these amazing videos! They are incredible. Can anyone share the link to the English translation to Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace novel? I know it has been shared twice in ruyi's videos in this channel but the links no longer work. if anyone has it, please share it😀

[@user-ix1rp9ff3p]

mid-May is the 1st anniversary of the fan translator privating or deactivating her 💡🗒 account supposedly someone pirated off her work, but so far no evidence exists

[@spikewriter]

Oh, lord, the leopard attack. "I'm being attacked! Quick, let me grab a concubine!" :: ripshred :: "Don't worry, there's more where she came from." Seriously, I hate on the emperor in Ruyi as being awful, but this guy really is the worst. (But the CGI might have been awesomely bad.) I've enjoyed these immensely and am looking forward to Yanxi Palace. No, I won't ask if you're doing the Netflix spin off as well. At least, not yet.

[@catherinedemedici9525]

oohhhhh this is gonna be good!!!!!

[@catherinedemedici9525]

It was GREAT!!!!!!!

[@dramarecaps4217]

THANK YOU :)

[@Greyce118]

Wait. I just realised there is no Hongli in the novel. That's kinda sad, I liked Zhen Huan's Hongli and earlier episodes of Ruyi Hongli.

[@themrshorwitz]

Kinda surprised Moge turns out to be a nice guy 😂 Also…does this mean the emperor knew that the baby girl wasn’t his and just let it go? I guess he would assume she was Moge’s at the time?

[@Persona3Yukari]

Oh wow.. What an emperor...

[@shyler4444]

Wow, what an ending....

[@kaseywashington1477]

Will you please recap "Story of Yanxi Palace?"

[@gojiberry7201]

Dang, this got savage!

[@conniechen3969]

YOOOOOOOO WHAT A FUCKING SURPRISER HELL YEAHAHHAHSHXKS

[@thraytmas9428]

I love you

[@TheTCMfan]

13:06 were the soldiers with XuanQing that loyal or diehard romantics or were they looking like this too? Cause I mean the emperors wife and brother are openly declaring their love for each other.. 🤷‍♀️

[@TheTCMfan]

7:27 ugh XuanQing if he had learned how to play his part they wouldn’t have this problem.. he might as well just stamp I love ZH across his forehead… 😒 14:44 wait what?? Where exactly were they going to go? ZH and XuanQing must have a shared a brain for sec I’m used to him being in love and dumb but ZH?? Smh 🤦‍♀️

[@alexl.-a.1125]

Wait... you mentioned the twins in past tense, "never got to meet their father" so the bear ate them? I thought they were taken into safety by consort Duan!

[@dramarecaps4217]

Nooo they made it! 😁 I think that grammar is correct? They never got to meet their father (in the past until now). If they had died maybe I would have said "They would never get to meet their father" (including the future)

[@sawk1875]

BRUHHHH i can’t believe MoGe was actually a pretty cool guy 😭

[@cv2078]

So in the novel Yunli knew the 7th princess was his?

[@ravynhood4009]

I always thought I would hate the emperor in the show more,but through your videos I've come to see just how much I dislike book emperor😤😤

[@emberjoy6739]

Oh! My! God! It's just as bad as the Drama! At least now that pricks line won't continue! However... I AM F*CKING DYING TO SEE 'Story of Yanxi Palace'! Can't Wait! Can't Wait! Can't Wait!

[@sexuallyactivetoyotaprius3454]

MoGe sees all!
