5.0

So it seems I might have finished this book easier compared to the last one (probably because I don't know what's going to happen). But here are just my takeaways (spoilers):

My Favorite chapters are 12, 16 and 19 from this volume.

Ick finding out that the former emperor bed the empress dowager when she is around 10 and he's almost in his 30s 

What the fvck was that story at the end of chapter 14. Does the former emperor has an oedipus complex apart from being a pedo?

Also, there were parts of the novel itself that remains to be a question and hopefully might be answered such as:

Why was Gaoshun punished to be a eunuch? Is he really a Eunuch? Also, that story at the end of chapter 14, some parts of it were a bit hazy or inexplicable to me
